In the second quarter of 2025, international capital markets were volatile overall, marked by fiscal policy uncertainty and monetary policy decisions. The US president's announcement of significantly higher import tariffs caused considerable uncertainty and sharp stock market declines worldwide. Investors reacted with sell-offs and portfolio shifts, particularly in the technology sector, which bore the brunt of the price declines. However, due to the fierce market reaction, the US government quickly suspended its announced tariffs for three months, which prompted the markets to recover. Bilateral trade agreements will now be negotiated with the countries.
Despite a decline in inflation, the US Federal Reserve remained cautious and cited risks posed by the announced tariffs. Another factor was the sharp rise in government debt due to a new major legislative package passed at the beginning of July. Therefore, the key interest rate remains unchanged at 4.50 per cent. In Europe, economic recovery has been rather subdued so far, with inflation hovering close to the European Central Bank's (ECB) target of 2.00 per cent. It lowered its deposit rate rate by 25 basis points in April and again in June, bringing it to 2.00 per cent. This was well received by the markets, although the ECB indicated that it would proceed cautiously. Consequently, the euro strengthened considerably against the US dollar during the quarter, reaching a closing value of 1.17 EUR/USD at the end of June – its highest level in nearly four years.
Geopolitically, the escalation of tensions in the Middle East in mid-June caused uncertainty, and the world held its breath as the US intervened militarily in Iran. Fortunately, the actions were limited in both time and scope, allowing the capital markets to recover quickly.
The RBI share was trading at € 24.46 at the start of the second quarter of 2025. It closed the quarter trading at € 25.88, having gained 6.8 per cent. The Austrian stock index (ATX) rose 8.7 per cent in the second quarter, while the European bank index (Euro Stoxx Banks) gained 7.9 per cent.

On 6 May 2025, RBI published the financial results for the first quarter of 2025 and held a web conference on them. The Management Board explained the financials, discussing the situation in Russia and its potential impact on RBI in detail, and fielded additional questions from approximately 350 participants in the subsequent Q&A session.
RBI's investor relations activities aim to provide maximum transparency for capital market players through flexible and innovative information sessions. Investor Relations managers and other RBI representatives participated in roadshows and conferences in Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Lausanne, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Paris, Warsaw, and Zürs in the second quarter. These activities were supplemented by a host of virtual events conducted via conference calls and web conferences. In addition, Investor Relations gave analysts and equity and debt investors the opportunity to individually talk to the CEO, CRO and Investor Relations by telephone or video conference. The discussions held with investors and analysts in the second quarter continued to focus on the developments in Russia as well as their potential impact on RBI, the foreign currency mortgage portfolio in Poland and, above all, business development in the core markets.
A total of 17 equity analysts and numerous debt analysts (as at 30 June 2025) regularly provide investment recommendations on RBI.
RBI continuously strives to keep market participants fully informed. In the interest of making its communications as easily accessible and widespread as possible, RBI makes conference call presentations and other important events available as online webcasts. These can be viewed online at www.rbinternational.com → Investors → Events & Presentations.
RBI's Annual General Meeting for the 2024 financial year was held in Vienna on 26 March 2025 as a hybrid event that allowed shareholders to participate not only physically but also virtually. Shareholders made extensive use of the ability to attend through RBI's web-based AGM portal. All proposed resolutions on the agenda were adopted by a large majority. Among other things, the dividend proposed by the RBI Management Board of € 1.10 per share for the 2024 financial year was passed by the Annual General Meeting and distributed to the shareholders on 2 April 2025.
In February, RBI issued a senior preferred bond with a € 500 million benchmark, being the first issuance of RBI in this format of the year. The final spread could be set at 125 basis points over the mid-swap rate after an initial guidance of 160 basis points, with final order books above € 2.9 billion. The issuance has a tenor of 7 years, non-callable for 6 years and offers a coupon of 3.5 per cent annually.
In April, RBI announced its decision to redeem all notes of the 2017 Additional Tier 1 Notes in the currently outstanding aggregate principal amount of € 174,200,000 at par on the call redemption date 15 June 2025, following the November 2024 tender offer relating to the 2017 8.659 per cent Additional Tier 1 Notes.
In addition, RBI did not exercise its option to redeem its 4.5 per cent Additional Tier 1 Notes of 2018, on 15 June 2025 (the first possible call date).
In order to ensure an accurate assessment, RBI maintains regular contact with rating agency analysts and informs them about current developments in its business. RBI continues to be rated by Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's.
The Moody's rating was last updated in the third quarter of 2023, and the rating for public-sector covered bonds was raised one notch from Aa2 to Aa1. In May, the long-term deposit and senior unsecured rating was affirmed at A1, with the outlook remaining stable. The rating decision was cited as reflecting strong operating results in the core countries, prudent asset risk management, and conservative liquidity management.
Standard & Poor's reaffirmed RBI's rating at the end of March 2025 and revised the outlook from negative to stable, citing the significant reduction in business activities in Russia, the withdrawal from Belarus and RBI's robust compliance organization. The integration with the stable, broadly positioned Raiffeisen Banking Group with high asset quality and capitalization also contributes positively to the rating assessment.

In 2025, the economies of many European countries will likely be characterized by stabilizing trends in manufacturing and construction and moderately positive performance in the service sector. Countries with high energy costs, such as Germany and Austria, are likely to be among the economic laggards again this year. Foreseeable increases in defense spending in Europe and rising infrastructure investment in Germany will stimulate the economy in the medium term, although the effects will likely still be modest in 2025. Forecast uncertainty has increased significantly as a result of the US president's erratic tariff policy, as has the volatility of real economic data. Nevertheless, advance purchase effects due to US tariff policies accelerated economic momentum in some European countries in the first quarter, with a counter-movement to be expected subsequently. There are no indications of a fundamental change of direction in US policy. The aim is to use tariff revenues to finance tax cuts and, in the long term, strengthen the domestic industrial base and reduce international dependence. The main scenario will not entail a further escalation of tariffs ('trade war') between the US and Europe, and China in particular. This is expected to be prevented by negotiated solutions. This scenario would mean less growth (but no recession) and higher inflation for the US. In this environment, the US Federal Reserve is likely to reduce its elevated key interest rates only cautiously in 2025 but will then cut rates further in 2026. Absent a further substantial military escalation in Ukraine, the war seems unlikely to have any additional negative implications for the economy in the euro area and the CE/SEE countries. A new and significant escalation in the Middle East (Iran/Israel) could potentially weigh on the European economy and push up inflation by driving up oil prices.
GDP growth in the euro area in the first half of 2025 was marked by tariff-related one-off effects. In 2025, a moderate acceleration in growth is expected compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, the inflation rate has stabilized around the two per cent target. US tariffs are expected to have a dampening effect on the economy and on inflation. Even if the tariff issue seems unlikely to escalate, trade relations with the US remain a definite source of uncertainty. Germany's announced stimulus package and increased EU defense spending are likely to boost growth and inflation over the medium term, with the biggest effects expected from 2026 onwards.
The ECB has cut key interest rates by 25 basis points at every meeting in the first half of 2025. The ECB deposit rate is now 2.00 per cent. Outside of its key interest rate policy, the ECB's balance sheet policy has increasingly been geared toward reducing liquidity in the euro area. Targeted longer-term refinancing operations (TLTROs) have fully matured and the ECB's bond portfolio will no longer be reinvested upon maturity. It can be assumed that the ECB will continue to shrink its balance sheet. Key interest rate trends will depend on the inflationary impact of US tariff policy and European defense and infrastructure spending. The ECB deposit rate is expected to be 1.75 per cent at the end of 2025.
Austria experienced two years of recession in 2023 and 2024. After its economy expanded slightly in the first quarter of 2025 and the previous year's economic momentum was significantly revised upward, Austria might be able to avoid a third consecutive year of recession in 2025 even though, in the spring, the recession was still generally expected to continue. However, with forecast GDP growth of just 0.2 per cent, Austria would still be one of the worst performers in the euro area, if not the very worst overall. This is because, despite the recent upward revisions to the forecast, the outlook has not improved significantly, and no noteworthy economic recovery is expected in 2025. Foreign trade, investments and manufacturing are also likely to be negative factors in 2025, with some support expected from private consumption. GDP is forecast to grow by one per cent in 2026 and again in 2027. Exports, investments, construction and manufacturing should then expand again. However, the decline in price competitiveness in recent years is likely to stand in the way of a more robust economic recovery.
During the first half of 2025, much of Central Europe (CE) reported weak figures. 2025 remains marked by considerable uncertainty surrounding the impact of US tariff policy. The challenging trade environment and the resulting slowdown in the global economy will likely have a negative impact on the small open economies of Central Europe. Necessary fiscal consolidation is another negative factor for growth prospects, particularly in Slovakia, while investment and private consumption should mitigate the negative effects. Overall, growth is expected to remain subdued this year, with relative weakness in the industrial sector compared with services continuing. Poland is likely to be a positive outlier as its economy is set to benefit from the delay in the disbursement of NGEU funds until 2025.
Southeastern Europe (SEE) saw several downward growth revisions in the first half of 2025. Romania, in particular, is facing major cost-cutting measures and is dragging down growth in the region. In addition, weaker external demand and increased global uncertainty are weighing on the region. Central banks are likely to remain cautious due to persistent inflationary pressure. Nevertheless, the inflow of EU funds and investment growth, together with strong wage growth and associated consumption, are supporting the region's economies even though growth is likely to remain below the potential rate.
In Ukraine, the war continues to weigh on the economy and delay reconstruction. While the chances of a ceasefire in the near future are slim, the ongoing and intensified shelling of civilian and industrial infrastructure poses major challenges for Ukraine. In addition, the central bank is likely to remain cautious due to the ongoing inflationary pressure. We nevertheless expect the economy to expand in 2025, provided that the country continues to receive sufficient support from its allies.
Thanks to comprehensive fiscal measures, the Russian economy has been resilient in recent years despite sanctions and trade barriers. The economy is starting to show increasing signs of cooling in 2025. A slowdown in private consumption and investment is curbing growth and reducing inflationary pressure. This allowed the Central Bank of Russia to initiate a round of interest rate cuts. However, monetary conditions should remain tight throughout the year.

The expected proceeds from the enforcement of RBI's claims against the Austrian assets of Rasperia Trading Limited (Rasperia) in the amount of € 1,204 million were derecognized in the second quarter of 2025.
In its consolidated financial statements of 2024, RBI reflected the amount awarded to Rasperia by a Russian court (€ 2,044 million) minus the expected proceeds from enforcement of legal recourse against Rasperia's assets in Austria resulting in a provision of € 840 million.
The decision to derecognize takes into account the inclusion of RBI in Rasperia's application for an anti-suit injunction, the chances of averting this and the resulting delay in the filing of RBI's claim against Rasperia in Austria.
Despite the changed accounting treatment, the legal assessment remains unchanged, and RBI's Management Board maintains a high degree of confidence in its legal claim against Rasperia and the enforceability thereof against Rasperia's assets in Austria.
On 9 June 2025, Rasperia filed an application for an anti-suit injunction (ASI) before the Arbitral Court of the Kaliningrad Region, targeting the STRABAG Shareholders and AO Raiffeisenbank. According to the ASI application, Rasperia seeks :
Rasperia requests a RUB equivalent of € 1,090 million penalty to be enforced against AO Raiffeisenbank for non-compliance with the ASI in relation to the Amsterdam Arbitration, claiming AO Raiffeisenbank is controlled by Raiffeisen-Holding Niederösterreich-Wien.
On 2 July 2025, Rasperia amended its ASI application to include Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) as a respondent and seeks to prohibit RBI from initiating foreign proceedings for damages related to the Kaliningrad proceedings.
The preparatory hearing took place on 16 July 2025 and 23 July 2025. The oral hearing on Rasperia's ASI application has been scheduled on 29 September 2025.
RBI's income statement was affected by the continuing tense economic environment and, above all, by the European Central Bank's (ECB) continued interest rate cuts. Nevertheless, at € 2,555 million, consolidated profit was € 127 million, or 5 per cent, up on the previous year's figure. The derecognition of the expected proceeds from the enforcement of RBI's claims against the Austrian assets of Rasperia Trading Limited in the amount of € 1,204 million by AO Raiffeisenbank in Russia had a corresponding negative impact on the consolidated profit for the first half of 2025. At € 148 million, it was therefore € 1,177 million or 89 per cent below the previous year's figure.
Main revenues (net interest income as well as net fee and commission income) rose € 167 million overall, or 4 per cent, to € 4,325 million. Net interest income increased € 133 million to € 2,972 million. Increases in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Russia were offset by decreases in Hungary and Serbia. Net fee and commission income rose € 34 million to € 1,353 million. The increase was largely attributable to Hungary, Romania, and the Czech Republic.
General administrative expenses were up 8 per cent, or € 147 million, year-on-year to € 2,033 million. Staff expenses rose € 106 million notably due to inflation. The transaction tax rose € 24 million primarily in Hungary due to the increase in the tax rate.
Impairment losses on financial assets increased € 49 million to € 109 million. In the reporting period, provisions at head office (€ 113 million, including € 63 million in Stage 2 due to overlays for macroeconomic risks and € 44 million in Stage 3 formed for non-financial corporations) as well as in Southeastern Europe (€ 23 million) were offset by net releases in the Central Europe segment (€ 39 million).
Total assets rose € 4 billion, or 2 per cent, to € 204 billion since the start of the year, with currency effects accounting for an increase of just under € 1 billion. Customer business increased slightly overall, in particular in Slovakia and in the Czech Republic. In Russia, targeted business restrictions with corporate customers and households led to a decline in customer business in local currency, with the increase at consolidated level resulting entirely from the 24 per cent appreciation of the Russian ruble. Securities portfolios grew, primarily as a result of investments in government bonds at head office and in Slovakia and Romania, which were made in order to benefit over the longer term from the current favorable interest-rate environment. Cash balances fell primarily at head office with the central bank, in Romania with financial institutions, and in Slovakia also with the central bank. In refinancing, customer deposits increased especially in Central Europe and Russia, although the increase in Russia was exclusively currency-related.
Equity including non-controlling interests rose € 834 million from the start of the year to € 21,174 million. Total comprehensive income of € 1,504 million comprised profit after tax of € 268 million and other comprehensive income of € 1,236 million. At € 1,116 million, currency movements had a positive impact on the other comprehensive income, primarily due to the 24 per cent appreciation of the Russian ruble, which contributed € 1,161 million. On the reporting date, the CET1 ratio amounted to 18.2 per cent.

1 Due to the sale of the Belarusian Group units at the end of November 2024, the income statement of the previous periods was adapted. The Belarusian result was reported in the income statement under the item gains/losses from discontinued operations.
After initiating the interest-rate turnaround in June 2024, the ECB made seven further interest rate cuts in order to reduce inflation and support the economy, with the deposit rate more than halving – to currently 2.00 per cent. In contrast, in the USA, no further interest rate reductions were made following the change in monetary policy in the second half of 2024. Despite the numerous interest rate reductions by the ECB and lower key interest rates in the USA, net interest income grew € 133 million to € 2,972 million year-on-year. Increases in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Russia were offset by decreases in Hungary and Serbia. In the Czech Republic, net interest income increased € 29 million, as a result of higher loan volumes to households and of lower interest expenses due to the lower interest rates. In Slovakia, net interest income rose € 28 million due to lower interest expenses in connection with a TLTRO repayment and time deposits as well as to higher income from mortgage loans (repricing measures) and bonds. In Russia, net interest income rose € 153 million despite the continued reduction in loan volumes (down 19 per cent). This was notably attributable to higher interest income from central bank deposits due to the high key interest rate (most recently 20 per cent) and volume-related lower interest expenses for deposits from households. In Hungary, in contrast, net interest income fell € 40 million, mainly due to a negative effect of € 22 million stemming from interest rate differences from economic hedging transactions related to foreign currency swaps. The reduction was also due to currency and interest rate effects. The € 16 million decline in net interest income in Serbia was due to falling market interest rates with corresponding effects on the loan portfolio.
The Group's average interest-bearing assets grew 1 per cent year-on-year, primarily due to higher loan volumes in Romania and the Czech Republic. The net interest margin improved 11 basis points to 3.03 per cent, which in particular was attributable to a 272 basis point increase in Russia and a 28 basis point increase in Slovakia. Excluding Russia, there would be a reduction of 6 basis points due to the aforementioned factors in Hungary.
Net fee and commission income rose € 34 million to € 1,353 million. The increase was largely attributable to Hungary, Romania, and the Czech Republic, with most other countries in the Group also reporting an increase, with the exception of Russia (down € 43 million). In Hungary in particular (up € 27 million), higher income from clearing, settlement and payment services resulted in an increase, whereas in Romania (up € 26 million), primarily the performance bonus from a credit card provider and increased transaction numbers and volumes led to improved net fee and commission income from clearing, settlement and payment services. In the Czech Republic (up € 14 million), net income from custody and fiduciary business increased due to increased volumes. Net fee and commission income from foreign exchange business increased by € 83 million as a result of the volumeand margin-related change in Russia, mainly in spot foreign exchange business. This was due to the increased volatility of the Russian ruble compared to the previous year. Net income from asset management grew € 17 million due to increased volumes, and net income from custody and fiduciary business reported a € 9 million volume-related increase. In contrast, other net fee and commission income fell € 48 million as a result of lower income related to currency control activities in Russia. Net income from securities business was also down, € 37 million, primarily in Russia.
Net trading income and fair value result increased € 126 million year-on-year to € 170 million. This was primarily due to Russia with a € 102 million increase to € 124 million. Negative valuation results from foreign exchange positions were more than offset by significantly increased foreign exchange trading margins that were attributable to pronounced volatilities on the Russian currency markets due to the geopolitical conditions. Apart from Russia, in particular Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania reported an increase in currency-related trading and valuation results.
General administrative expenses rose 8 per cent, or € 147 million, year-on year to € 2,033 million. Staff expenses rose € 106 million to € 1,159 million. At € 36 million, the largest increase was at head office due to the increase in the headcount, expenses for bonus payments, and salary adjustments under collective agreements. Provisions for social benefits in an amount of € 9 million were also released in the previous year's period. Staff expenses also rose in all other countries of the Group, notably in Russia (€ 19 million), in Hungary (€ 10 million) and in Slovakia (€ 8 million). The € 27 million increase in other administrative expenses was mainly driven by the transaction tax in Hungary. It increased € 24 million to € 58 million due to the increase in the tax rate. The cost/income ratio increased year-on-year from 43.3 per cent to 43.7 per cent. Excluding Russia, this would be 53.7 per cent.
The other result amounted to minus € 1,500 million in the reporting period, compared to minus € 394 million in the previous year's period. The main reason for this was the derecognition of the expected proceeds from the enforcement of RBI's claims against the Austrian assets of Rasperia Trading Limited in the amount of € 1,204 million as well as interest expenses related to the damages awarded to Rasperia. In addition, credit-linked, portfolio-based litigation and annulments of loan agreements had a negative impact of € 233 million (previous year's period: € 392 million). These were mainly related to mortgage loans in Poland denominated in foreign currencies or linked to a foreign currency. In the reporting period, the valuation of investments in subsidiaries and associates led to net income of € 11 million.
Expenses for governmental measures and compulsory contributions increased € 4 million to € 164 million. The bank levy rose € 20 million, mainly due to a € 26 million increase at head office, primarily as a result of the adjustment of the stability levy in Austria in the first quarter of 2025. This contrasted with a € 10 million decrease in Hungary due to a reduction in the tax rate. Deposit insurance fees fell € 10 million, of which € 7 million was mainly attributable to the reduction in deposits in Russia. In addition, Raiffeisen Bausparkasse Gesellschaft m.b.H. recorded a € 4 million reduction, as in the previous year's periods, higher contribution payments had been made in order to replenish the deposit insurance fund following the loss incidents relating to Commerzialbank Mattersburg AG in Burgenland and to Anglo Austrian AAB AG in 2020. Contributions to the bank resolution fund fell € 6 million in the Czech Republic as the establishment phase of the fund had almost been completed.
In the reporting period, impairment losses on financial assets amounted to € 109 million. At head office, net provisions of € 113 million were reported mainly in Stage 2 (€ 63 million due to overlays for macroeconomic risks) and in Stage 3 (€ 44 million mainly for non-financial corporations). In the rest of the Group, net releases in the Central Europe segment (€ 39 million) were offset by net allocations in Southeastern Europe (€ 23 million). For defaulted loans (Stage 3), impairments of € 63 million were recognized in the reporting period (previous year's period: € 171 million), primarily for non-financial corporations at head office. In Stage 1 and Stage 2, impairments of € 46 million were recognized in the reporting period, most notably at head office (previous year's period: net releases of € 110 million, primarily in Russia). Risk costs rose € 49 million year-on-year, following a net release of € 18 million in the Southeastern Europe segment in the previous year's period and an allocation of € 23 million in the reporting period. Of this, € 11 million was attributable to Romania (rating downgrades, parameter adjustments and defaults of corporate customers) and € 9 million to Croatia (largely in relation to households).
The increase in income taxes by € 55 million to € 512 million was mainly attributable to the increase in the tax base in Russia. Additionally, at the beginning of the year, the applicable tax rate in Russia increased from 20 per cent to 25 per cent. The increase in the effective tax rate to 65.7 per cent was mainly due to the additional non-tax-related expense for the legal dispute in connection with the litigation brought by Rasperia Trading Limited.
In the previous year's period, the contribution from the current result of the Belarusian Group units was reported in gains/losses from discontinued operations.

1 Due to the sale of the Belarusian Group units at the end of November 2024, the income statement of the previous periods was adapted. The Belarusian result was reported in the income statement under the item gains/losses from discontinued operations.
Net interest income fell € 36 million to € 1,468 million. This was mainly due to a € 26 million decline in net interest income in Hungary, which was primarily attributable to a negative effect of € 22 million due to interest rate differences from economic hedging transactions related to foreign currency swaps. In Russia, net interest income decreased € 17 million as the result of a volume-related decline in income from loans to banks. In contrast, lower interest expenses at head office, primarily from the money market and repo business, yielded a € 19 million increase in net interest income. The Group's net interest margin shrank 7 basis points to 3.00 per cent due to lower interest income in Hungary and Russia; excluding Russia, the decline would have been 4 basis points.
Net fee and commission income increased € 18 million to € 685 million. Growth in Romania (€ 20 million), Ukraine (€ 9 million) and the Czech Republic (€ 5 million) stood in contrast to a decline in Russia (€ 18 million) that was partially offset by currency development. Net income from clearing, settlement and payment services improved € 36 million, primarily due to performance bonuses from a credit card provider in several countries and increased transaction numbers and volumes, mainly in Romania, Ukraine, Russia and the Czech Republic. In contrast, net income from foreign exchange business decreased € 14 million because of margin-driven higher income in Russia in the previous quarter. Net income from securities business declined € 5 million, the strongest at head office and in Russia.
Net trading income and fair value result rose € 59 million to € 114 million. The increase was mainly attributable to head office in connection with the issuance of certificates. After RBI's own credit spread narrowed around 20 basis points in the first quarter, it widened 5 basis points in the second quarter. This improved the valuation result by € 38 million compared with the previous quarter.
General administrative expenses increased € 43 million quarter on quarter to € 1,038 million. Staff expenses were higher than in the first quarter at € 592 million (up € 26 million). Increases occurred in almost all countries, with Russia seeing the largest increase at € 13 million. Other administrative expenses – in particular advertising, PR and promotional expenses as well as legal, advisory and consulting expenses – increased € 12 million to € 322 million, while depreciation and amortization rose € 4 million to € 124 million.
The other result decreased € 1,370 million to minus € 1,435 million. The main reason for this was the derecognition of the expected proceeds from the enforcement of RBI's claims against the Austrian assets of Rasperia Trading Limited in the amount of € 1,204 million as well as interest expenses related to the damages awarded to Rasperia. Expenses for creditrelated litigations and annulments of loan agreements (€ 166 million), mainly for the mortgage loan portfolio in Poland (€ 161 million in the second quarter after € 67 million in the first quarter) also had a negative impact.
Governmental measures and compulsory contributions were € 43 million in the second quarter, compared to € 121 million in the first quarter because most of them had to be posted in their entirety at the beginning of the year in accordance with the underlying provisions (IFRIC 21). In the second quarter, bank levies accounted for € 28 million of this total, with € 19 million coming from head office. Out of this € 19 million, € 13 million was levied as a result of the adjustment of the stability levy in Austria. Deposit insurance fees amounted to € 17 million, particularly in Russia, Serbia and Ukraine.
Impairment losses on financial assets increased € 23 million quarter on quarter to € 66 million. In the second quarter, net allocations were mainly reported at head office (€ 47 million, mainly for non-financial corporations in Stage 3), in Romania (€ 13 million) and Slovakia (€ 12 million). In the first quarter, allocations at head office (€ 66 million due to overlays for macroeconomic risks) were offset by net releases in the Central Europe segment.
Income taxes increased € 49 million, mainly due to the increase in the tax base in Russia.
Total assets have increased around € 4 billion, or 2 per cent, since the start of the year, with currency effects accounting for almost € 1 billion. While the Russian ruble and the Hungarian forint appreciated 24 per cent and 3 per cent, respectively, the US dollar and the Ukrainian hryvnia depreciated 11 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively.

The figures as at 31/3/2025 and as at 30/9/2024 were neither audited nor reviewed.
Loans to banks decreased € 5,874 million mainly due to a reduction in Russia caused by shifting short-term deposits into overnight deposits at the Russian central bank. In contrast, loans increased € 1,264 million in the Czech Republic, driven by higher volumes in the repo business with the central bank, and € 1,078 million in Romania as a result of liquidity placements with banks.
Loans to customers increased € 2,651 million, including growth of € 702 million in Slovakia and € 648 million in the Czech Republic. In both of these cases, the growth was attributable to loans to households and non-financial corporations. The increase of € 546 million in Russia was solely a consequence of currency effects. Romania experienced a decline of € 670 million due to a decrease in investments with the ministry of finance.
The increase in securities was primarily attributable to investments – especially in government bonds – at head office (up € 3,600 million), in Romania (up € 831 million) and in Slovakia (up € 827 million).
The € 709 million decrease in cash balances came mainly from head office, Romania and Slovakia. Cash balances at head office decreased € 4,094 million due to lower balances with the central bank and fewer repo transactions. Cash balances decreased € 1,439 million in Romania, primarily as a result of liquidity placements with banks, and € 1,321 million in Slovakia, mainly due to investments in bonds with the central bank. In contrast, cash balances in Russia increased € 6,360 million, mainly due to higher demand deposits with the central bank, despite the deduction of € 2,109 million in damages awarded to Rasperia Trading Limited. In Hungary, they rose € 525 million, primarily due to short-term deposits with the central bank.

The figures as at 31/3/2025 and as at 30/9/2024 were neither audited nor reviewed.
Deposits from customers rose € 3,723 million compared to the end of the year. In the Czech Republic, an increase of € 2,429 million was reported, driven by short-term deposits from households. In Russia, deposits increased € 1,164 million as a result of currency effects; however, in local currency terms, the deposits decreased. In Hungary, deposits increased € 452 million, primarily from households and other financial corporations. Croatia recorded an increase of € 219 million as a result of higher volumes from other financial corporations and non-financial corporations.
Debt securities issued and other liabilities decreased € 959 million,mainly due to the € 929 million decline in Russia. This was primarily due to the usage of the € 840 million provision allocated at the end of 2024 in relation with the damages awarded to Rasperia Trading Limited. Head office issued a € 500 million senior preferred benchmark bond in February. In addition, in Croatia, MREL bonds worth € 300 million were issued in May, and, in Hungary, the same amount of MREL bonds was issued in June.
With its strong liquidity position and proven processes for managing liquidity risk, RBI has put its high adaptability on display. As of 30 June 2025, the liquidity coverage ratio was 157 per cent (31 December 2024: 182 per cent) while the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) was 143 per cent (31 December 2024: 145 per cent) compared to a regulatory limit of 100 per cent in each case. Separate monitoring of the RBI's liquidity risk position without Russian subsidiaries shows that it remains within the target range also without the Russian business.
Group funding is derived from a strong base of customer deposits – primarily from the retail business in Central and Southeastern Europe – and is supplemented by wholesale funding. In addition to funding from the regional Raiffeisen banks, financing from other banks and financial institutions is also used. The loan/deposit ratio amounted to 82.9 per cent as at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: 82.7 per cent).
Equity, including capital attributable to non-controlling interests, increased by € 834 million to € 21,174 million since the beginning of the year.
Total comprehensive income of € 1,504 million comprised profit after tax of € 268 million and other comprehensive income of € 1,236 million. Currency movements had a positive impact of € 1,116 million on the other comprehensive income, mainly due to the appreciation of the Russian ruble by 24 per cent, which contributed € 1,161 million. Further positive effects resulted from adaptations to the cash flow hedge reserve of € 153 million, primarily in Russia. Conversely, the cash flow hedge reserve adaptions led to deferred taxes on results directly recognized in equity, which had negative effects of minus € 43 million.
In 2025, € 532 million in dividends were distributed for the financial year 2024. On 2 April 2025, € 361 million was distributed to RBI's shareholders as a dividend of € 1.10 per share. Furthermore, € 111 million was paid to holders of non-controlling interests in Group companies. Additionally, dividend payments of € 60 million were made on AT1 capital.
Common equity tier 1 (CET1) after deductions amounted to € 17,468 million, representing an increase of € 1,134 million compared to the 2024 year-end figure. The main driver of the increase were foreign currency effects of € 1,118 million, mainly from the 24 per cent appreciation of the Russian ruble.
Tier 1 capital after deductions increased € 970 million to € 19,148 million. The increase was primarily attributable to effects in CET1 while the termination of an outstanding AT1 issue slightly reduced the increase. Tier 2 capital decreased € 108 million to € 2,286 million due to the regulatory maturity of Tier 2 instruments. Total equity amounted to € 21,434 million, representing an increase of € 862 million year-on-year.
Total risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased € 486 million to € 96,086 million compared to the end of 2024. The main drivers for this were the provisions of CRR III, which came into force on 1 January 2025, and led to an increase in operational risk of € 2,061 million. Furthermore, the appreciation of the Russian ruble led to an increase in market risk of € 1,110 million. Credit risk decreased by € 3,900 million with the introduction of CRR III. This decrease was partially offset by organic growth of € 2,758 million.
This resulted in a CET1 ratio of 18.2 per cent, a tier 1 ratio of 19.9 per cent and a total capital ratio of 22.3 per cent.

The year-on-year increase in profit after tax was driven above all by lower expenses for credit-related portfolio-based litigation and annulments of loan agreements in Poland. These expenses of € 227 million (previous year's period: € 391 million) included in the other result related mainly to mortgage loans. Operating income was up € 70 million, reflecting the rise of € 40 million in net fee and commission income primarily in Hungary due to higher income from clearing, settlement and payment services and in the Czech Republic (volume-related increase in the result from custody and fiduciary business). Net trading income and fair value result also increased, namely by € 25 million. Most of the rise was due to an increase in currency-related trading and valuation results in Hungary and the Czech Republic. Net interest income was up € 11 million, mostly in the Czech Republic (higher loan volumes to households and lower interest expenses due to the lower interest rate level) and in Slovakia (lower interest expenses in connection with a TLTRO repayment and for time deposits as well as higher income from mortgage loans as a result of repricing measures and from bonds). In contrast, net interest income in Hungary fell by € 40 million. This mainly reflected a negative effect of € 22 million due to interest rate differences from economic hedging transactions related to foreign currency swaps. The decline was also currency- and interest rate-related. General administrative expenses also had a negative impact, rising by € 60 million due to higher staff expenses in Hungary (up: € 10 million) and Slovakia (up: € 8 million) and the increase of € 34 million in other administrative expenses. The main driver was the higher transaction tax in Hungary (up: € 23 million) as a result of the increase in the tax rate. Expenses for governmental measures and compulsory contributions were down € 14 million, mainly in Hungary (lower tax rate for bank levy) and the Czech Republic (lower contributions to the bank resolution fund). Impairments on financial assets improved by € 7 million as a result of net releases primarily in Hungary and the Czech Republic.

Operating income was up € 33 million, which was attributable to a rise in net fee and commission income and a stable net interest income. Romania reported an increase of € 11 million in net interest income, driven by investments in bonds with higher yields and loan volume growth. In addition, Croatia recorded a rise of € 4 million due to lower interest expenses resulting from positive effects from hedging transactions. This increase was offset by a fall of € 16 million in Serbia due to falling market interest rates. Net fee and commission income grew € 35 million. Romania contributed € 26 million, reflecting the performance bonus of a credit card provider and increased transaction numbers and volumes. Serbia reported growth of € 5 million, driven by a higher number and increased card transactions volumes as well as a rise in foreign currency transactions. Net trading income in Romania was up € 6 million thanks to positive results from the revaluation of financial instruments. Other operating income was down € 9 million. This was due to losses of € 7 million from the early repayment of loans in Croatia and € 4 million to the unfavorable outcome of litigation in Romania. The decline in profit after tax was mainly due to the increase in general administrative expenses and risk costs. General administrative expenses rose € 25 million. Staff expenses of € 14 million were the largest item and mainly reflected salary rises in Romania and Serbia. Other administrative expenses were up € 10 million, in particular as a result of increased IT expenses in Croatia and Albania as well as higher communication and advertising expenses in Romania. Allocations to risk costs amounted to € 23 million (previous year's period: releases of € 18 million). Of these, Romania accounted for € 11 million, mainly in Stage 1, due to rating downgrades of bonds and private customers and to some extent in Stage 3 as a result of corporate customer defaults. Croatia reported allocations of € 9 million, which were mainly attributable to households in Stage 2 and Stage 3.

Despite the reduction in business activity in Russia, operating result was up € 196 million, driven by growth in net interest income and net trading income. Higher net interest income from central bank balances resulting from the high key-interest rate of 20 per cent recently and the volume-related decrease in interest rate expenses for deposits from households led to an increase of € 153 million in net interest income to € 898 million despite the continued reduction in loan volumes (down 19 per cent). Net fee and commission income was down € 43 million, mainly reflecting a fall of € 47 million in clearing, settlement and payment services. This development was amplified by a decline of € 37 million in other net fee and commission income due to reduced income in connection with exchange controls and a decrease of € 31 million in the securities business. This was partly offset by an increase of € 77 million in the result from foreign exchange business due to higher volumes and margin-related changes in the foreign exchange business. Net trading income and fair value result rose € 102 million, mainly due to significantly increased profit margins in foreign exchange trading as a result of large exchange rate moves in the first quarter 2025. General administrative expenses rose € 21 million to € 314 million with staff expenses increasing by € 19 million to € 245 million, mainly due to salary increases. The other result amounted to minus € 1,268 million in the reporting period, compared to minus € 8 million in the previous year's period. The main reason for this was the derecognition of the expected proceeds from the enforcement of RBI's claims against the Austrian assets of Rasperia Trading Limited in the amount of € 1,204 million as well as interest related to the damages awarded to Rasperia. Risk costs resulted in an allocation of € 1 million, whereas in the previous year's period a net release of € 20 million was recorded, which was attributable to releases in Stage 2 for nonfinancial corporations and other financial corporations. The increase in income taxes by € 62 million to € 249 million was mainly attributable to the increase in the tax base in Russia. Additionally, at the beginning of the year, the tax rate in Russia increased from 20 per cent to 25 per cent. The increase in the effective tax rate was mainly due to the additional non-tax-related expense for the legal dispute in connection with the litigation brought by Rasperia Trading Limited in Russia.

As in the previous year, the income statement was influenced by currency volatility (year-on-year devaluation of the average rate of the Ukrainian hryvnia 7 per cent). Net interest income, driven by higher volumes, particularly in bonds and money market placements, rose € 2 million. Net fee and commission income increased € 4 million mainly in clearing, settlement and payment services as a result of the performance bonus of a credit card provider, while the result from foreign currency business fell due to lower income from bank notes trading and the volume- and margin-driven decline in spot foreign exchange business. In addition, net trading income and fair value result decreased by € 5 million due to the valuation result of the bonds held in the trading book. General administrative expenses were up € 7 million. Above all, staff expenses (up € 5 million) increased, reflecting salary rises in the reporting period. The net release of risk provisions amounted to € 4 million (previous year's period: allocation of € 5 million). Of these, the releases for Stage 2 amounted to € 7 million (mainly off-balance sheet items, households and non-financial corporations). For Stage 3, they totaled € 5 million (non-financial corporations), while in Stage 1 there was an allocation of € 9 million (mostly off-balance sheet items and general governments).

A marked fall in net interest income and increased staff expenses were mainly responsible for the year-on-year decrease of € 35 million in profit after tax to € 159 million. Net interest income was down € 76 million to € 377 million mainly at head office and reflected lower margins resulting from lower market interest rates. General administrative expenses rose € 30 million, which was largely attributable to an increase in staff expenses (up € 28 million), driven mainly by a higher headcount, expenses for future bonus payments as well as salary adjustments under collective agreements. In contrast, net trading income and fair value result improved by € 53 million to € 100 million. This is related to the development of RBI's own credit spread, increased income from foreign exchange and currency trading as well as volume-related higher sales income from the certificates business. Governmental measures and compulsory contributions rose by € 12 million due to the bank levy at head office (adjustment of the stability levy in Austria). In the reporting period, there were net allocations to risk provisions at head office mostly in Stage 2 as a result of overlays for macroeconomic risks and in Stage 3 mainly related to non-financial corporations.

The figures for the second and first quarter of 2025 have not been audited or reviewed.
An increase of € 162 million in profit after tax was driven by higher, largely intra-group dividend income (up € 240 million). Net interest income improved by € 44 million, largely due to lower refinancing costs at head office. The current result from associated companies resulted in a € 19 million lower proportional contribution to earnings, primarily from Leipnik-Lundenburger Invest Beteiligungs AG. The net fee and commission income decreased by € 15 million to € 34 million due to lower income from payment transactions at head office. The net trading income and fair value result decreased by € 43 million to minus € 92 million primarily due to valuation effects from derivatives at head office. The increase in general administrative expenses by € 7 million to € 243 million was mainly due to the increase in the number of employees and to salary adjustments under collective agreements. Government measures and compulsory contributions increased by € 11 million at head office due to the adjustment of the stability levy in Austria.

2 Previous year adapted due to changed allocation
As a rule, internal management reporting at RBI is based on the current organizational structure. This matrix structure means that each member of the Management Board is responsible both for individual countries and for specific business activities. A cash generating unit (CGU) within the Group is a country. The presentation of the countries includes the operating units of RBI in the respective countries (in addition to subsidiary banks, e.g. also leasing companies). Accordingly, the RBI management bodies – Management Board and Supervisory Board – make key decisions that determine the resources allocated to any given segment based on its financial strength and profitability, which is why these reporting criteria are a material component in the decision-making process. The segments are also presented accordingly in compliance with IFRS 8. When assigning countries to the individual reportable segments, in addition to long-term economic similarities such as equity risk premiums, potential market growth and net interest margins, the expected risk and return levels are also taken into account when allocating resources. According to IFRS 8.12, it is also required that the following economic characteristics are taken into account when composing the reportable segments. The countries are combined into a reportable segment if the products and services offered are the same. In addition to the uniform production processes and sales channels, the target groups such as corporate customers, private customers and institutional customers are also similar in the individual segments. Banking regulations in each country are mainly monitored by central banks. In all countries, the central bank is responsible for formulating and implementing monetary policy, maintaining financial stability, and regulating the banking sector.The reconciliation contains mainly the amounts resulting from the elimination of intra-group results and consolidation between the segments.
This results in the following segments:

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the international accounting standards adopted by the EU on the basis of IAS Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 including the applicable interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC/SIC). For the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements, the same accounting policies are applied as described in detail in the annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024. The requirements in accordance with IAS 34 regarding the form and content of interim financial reporting are considered and information on cyclical expenses and income is addressed in the interim group management report.
Some IFRS disclosures made outside the notes form an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. These are mainly explanations on net income from segments, which are included in the notes of the segment reporting. In addition to the disclosures pursuant to IFRS 7 which are included in the notes, the risk report section especially contains detailed information on credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk.
If estimates or assessments are necessary for accounting and measurement under IAS/IFRS rules, they are made in accordance with the respective standards. They are based on past experiences and other factors, such as planning and expectations or forecasts of future events that appear likely, based on current judgement. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Alterations to estimates that affect only one period will be considered only in that period. If the following reporting periods are also affected, the alterations will be taken into consideration in the current and following periods. The critical assumptions, estimates and accounting judgments primarily affect impairment losses in the credit business, the fair value and impairment of financial instruments, deferred taxes, provisions for pensions and pension-related liabilities, provisions for litigation as well as the calculations used to determine the recoverability of goodwill and the intangible assets capitalized in the course of the initial consolidation. In addition, impairment tests for investments in associates are subject to assumptions and estimates.
As at 30 June 2025 the following key sources of estimation uncertainty and accounting judgments were taken: Due to the revised management assessment, the expected proceeds from the enforcement of RBI's claims against the Austrian assets of Rasperia amounting to € 1,204 million were derecognized in June 2025. In addition, the management concluded that no provision for the anti-suit-injunction has to be established as of 30 June 2025, as the criteria under IAS 37 were not met. In relation to the control assessment of AO Raiffeisenbank in accordance with IFRS 10 please refer to chapter Consequences and analysis of the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
In the context of the geopolitical situation, RBI is also exposed to higher risks related to foreign exchange translations. Details can be found in the section currencies.
Unless otherwise stated, the application of the following standards and interpretations did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of RBI.
The amendment clarifies how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency. Additionally, the amendment clarifies the determination of the exchange rate to be used and the required disclosures in the notes if the previous assessment has determined that the exchangeability of a currency is not given. For information and explanations regarding currency conversions in RBI, please refer to the section on currencies.
Information on this can be found in the Annual Report 2024, chapter principles underlying the consolidated financial statements.

1 Due to the sale of the Belarusian units for year-end 2024 the exchange rate as at 30 November 2024 was used.
For the explanation of the accounting methods applied in relation to currency translations, please refer to the Annual Report 2024. In general the income statement items were translated at the average exchange rates during the year calculated on the basis of month-end rates. Since the ruling for Russian legal case (Rasperia Trading Limited) was issued in euro but booked by AO Raiffeisenbank in Russian ruble, the affected items in the income statement were converted using the respective transaction exchange rate.
In light of the geopolitical situation, RBI is exposed to increased risks associated with foreign currency translations related to the Russian ruble. The ECB stopped publishing an official EUR/RUB exchange rate in March 2022, and an actual and factually achievable exchange rate (e.g. provided by Refinitiv or Electronic Broking Service (EBS): off-shore rate) established itself in addition to the theoretical, official exchange rate (rate determined by the Russian central bank: on-shore rate).
RBI is exposed to these risks particularly in the translation of monetary items denominated in a foreign currency and in the translation of fully consolidated foreign business operations. RBI uses the off-shore rate of WM/Refinitiv for both the translation of monetary items outside of Russia and the translation of the fully consolidated business operation in Russia. As of the balance sheet date, there was only an insignificant difference between the EUR/RUB exchange rate from WM/Refinitiv and that of the Russian central bank.
Companies must continuously assess in such a market environment whether the exchange rate used reflects the rate determined in accordance with IAS 21. Further information on underlying estimations and assumptions made by RBI can be found in the Annual Report 2024.

The RBI Board of Management has prepared the consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2025 on a going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate RBI and based on current available information this is considered a realistic intention.
RBI has the required economic resources to be able to meet ongoing regulatory requirements as well as to fund business and liquidity needs (liquidity and funding profile, including forecasts of internal liquidity metrics and regulatory liquidity coverage ratios). The most recent internally generated stress testing scenarios for liquidity and capital requirements have shown that RBI has adequate resources to withstand reasonably possible downside scenarios. Additionally, RBI has robust systems in place to mitigate the operational disruption of doing business in a warzone.
The RBI Board of Management has concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could cast significant doubt over their ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval (29 July 2025) of the Semi-Annual Report to be issued.
The economic and political environment due to the war may indicate changes in the ability of an investor to control subsidiaries according to IFRS 10 in the affected areas. For RBI, especially Ukraine and Russia can be counted among the affected areas.
In assessing control, RBI's examination includes if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee according to the requirements of IFRS 10. If voting rights are relevant, RBI has control over an entity in which it directly or indirectly holds more than 50 per cent of the voting rights, except when there are indicators that another investee has the ability to determine unilaterally the relevant activities of the entity. RBI assesses evidence of control in cases in which it does not hold the majority of voting rights but has the ability to unilaterally govern the relevant activities of the entity. This ability may occur in cases in which RBI has the ability to control the relevant activities due to the extent and distribution of voting rights of the investees. If facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more elements of control, a reassessment whether control over the investee still exists is done.
When examining the facts and circumstances RBI carefully considered whether there have been changes that may significantly limit its ability to exercise the rights or governance provisions with respect to a subsidiary due to the war or the sanctions imposed. RBI has concluded that no changes are necessary in the assessment of control and that control was not lost over the subsidiaries in the affected areas.
On 4 September 2024, a Russian court issued a preliminary injunction by which the shares of AO Raiffeisenbank are subject to a transfer ban. The decision is related to the legal proceedings initiated by Rasperia Trading Limited in Russia against STRABAG SE, its Austrian core shareholders and AO Raiffeisenbank. This transfer ban prevents RBI from selling or transferring the shares but does not affect RBI's corporate rights including voting rights. Further the seizure of the shares does not hinder RBI from making decision on the distribution of AO Raiffeisenbank's profit (subject to, of course, other dividend restrictions under Russian law). The transfer ban aims to maintain the status quo until Rasperia's claim is adjudicated and is temporary. Thus, the transfer ban of the shares does not change the control of RBI over AO Raiffeisenbank according to IFRS 10.
Although the conditions for the application of IFRS 5 are currently not met, the tables below show the pro forma profit and loss, as well as the balance sheet of RBI, as it would look like after applying the requirements of IFRS 5 for discontinued operations of Russian units. Consequently, the consolidated result of the Russian units has been reclassified under the item Gains/losses from discontinued operations.
Due to the difficulty of predicting potential developments, any possible loss from a deconsolidation scenario, composed of the loss of net asset value and the recycling of the other comprehensive income in the income statement, is not reflected in the tables. The recycling of the other comprehensive income has no impact on the regulatory capital and capital ratios of RBI and is related to the reclassification of predominantly historical currency fluctuations losses.
The CET 1 ratio, including the period result and excluding Russian operations under the assumption of full loss of the net asset value at the deconsolidation, would amount to 15.7 per cent compared to 18.2 per cent including Russian operations.

Due to the outbreak of war in Ukraine, RBI's activities in Russia and Ukraine have been exposed to increased risk. The heightened risk is driven by several factors such as the destruction of livelihoods and infrastructure in Ukraine as well as the loss and blockading of ports, sanctions imposed on Russia, uncertainty about the length of the war and price instability and economic contraction in Eastern Europe. The exposure to Russia and Ukraine is presented in the tables below.
The first table shows a breakdown of the net carrying amount based on IFRS measurement categories as well as the nominal value of the off-balance exposure after impairments. The second table shows the concentration risk on counterparty level, whereby derivatives are shown separately.

The real estate market continues to be significantly affected by the war, but at the same time it is adapting to new realities. Prices for residential real estate remains relatively stable in Ukraine, with gradual price increases in the western major cities due to internal migration from the east and as more stable region of investment. In western Ukraine the demand for retail spaces and warehouse properties is increasing, resulting in a price growth, while the demand for office real estate is decreasing. The Ukrainian economy is adapting as far as possible to the demands of the prevailing war environment. Noneligible status was applied for collateral in occupied regions and in regions with high risk of hostility or occupation significantly increased discounts were applied. For other areas of Ukraine, ongoing on-site visits and evaluations are taking place.
Due to the war between Russia and the Ukraine, tangible and intangible fixed assets in both countries were examined for indicators that could lead to an impairment in accordance with IAS 36.
In Ukraine, the tangible fixed assets located in the occupied territories were already written off to zero in 2022. All other tangible fixed assets were assessed individually and adjusted if damage occurred. This resulted in impairments of less than € 1 million in the first half of 2025 as well as in the previous year's period.
Due to changes in market prices, interest rates, rental prices and vacant properties, as a result of the geopolitical situation and a more detailed appraisal the impairment test for tangible fixed assets in Russia resulted in a reversal of impairment losses of around € 1 million (previous year's period: impairment losses below € 1 million). The impairment test for intangible fixed assets didn't result in any impairments in either the reporting period or the comparison period.
For the effects on the models for calculating impairments in accordance with IFRS 9, please refer to notes (31) Forward-looking information.

Net interest income includes interest income of € 327 million (previous year's period: € 236 million) from marked-to-market financial assets and interest expenses of € 241 million (previous year's period: € 137 million) from marked-to-market financial liabilities.
Despite further interest rate reductions by the ECB and lower key interest rates in the USA, net interest income grew € 133 million to € 2,972 million year-on-year. Increases in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia were offset by decreases in Hungary (negative effect of € 22 million stemming from interest rate differences from economic hedging transactions related to foreign currency swaps) and Serbia.
The net interest margin improved 11 basis points to 3.03 per cent, which in particular was attributable to a 272 basis point increase in Russia and a 28 basis point increase in Slovakia.

Net trading income and fair value result amounted to € 170 million in the reporting period (previous year's period: € 44 million). The position Derivatives included in the trading result recorded a positive outcome of € 276 million, which represents an increase compared to the previous year of € 181 million (previous year's period: € 95 million). Derivatives are primarily used to hedge against interest rate and currency risks as well as risks from equity positions. The majority of the positive valuation result from derivatives was achieved from hedges against currency risks, primarily in Russia. In contrast, there were declining effects from derivatives on equity instruments. Together with equity instruments, these form the hedge against value fluctuations of issued certificates, which are mainly based on stocks and stock indices and to a lesser extent on interest products. The valuation result of these certificates held in the trading book under securitized liabilities amounted to minus € 201 million in the reporting period (previous year: minus € 171 million). This includes a negative valuation effect from the decline in the own credit spread amounting to minus € 22 million. Adjusted for this effect, the certificate result essentially reflects the respective developments of the underlying stocks and stock indices. The valuation result in the position deposits amounting to € 145 million (previous year: minus € 13 million) includes the profit margin achieved in foreign exchange trading, which has significantly increased in Russia during the reporting period due to high volatilities on Russian foreign exchange markets, caused by geopolitical conditions.
The result from currency conversion of open spot positions amounted to minus € 81 million (previous year's period: € 56 million). Open positions are managed by using foreign exchange derivatives and are largely closed. The opposing valuation effects of these derivatives are accordingly reported in the item Derivatives.

The other result amounted to minus € 1,500 million in the reporting period, compared to minus € 394 million in the previous year's period. The main reason for this was the derecognition of the expected proceeds from the enforcement of RBI's claims against the Austrian assets of Rasperia Trading Limited in the amount of € 1,204 million as well as interest expenses related to the damages awarded to Rasperia. In addition, credit-linked, portfolio-based litigation and annulments of loan agreements had a negative impact of € 233 million (previous year's period: € 392 million). These were mainly related to mortgage loans in Poland denominated in foreign currencies or linked to a foreign currency.

Governmental measures and compulsory contributions increased by € 4 million. Head office recorded an increase in the bank levy by € 26 million primarily as a result of the adjustment of the stability levy in Austria in the first quarter of 2025. Deposit insurance fees fell by € 10 million, which was mainly attributable to the reduction in deposits in Russia.
Impairment losses on financial assets consist of impairment losses on financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost.

1 Due to the sale of the Belarusian Group units at the end of November 2024, the income statement of the previous periods was adapted. The Belarusian result was reported in the income statement under the item gains/losses from discontinued operations.
In the reporting period, impairment losses on financial assets amounted to € 109 million. At head office, net provisions of € 113 million were reported mainly in Stage 2 (€ 63 million due to overlays for macroeconomic risks) and in Stage 3 (€ 44 million mainly for non-financial corporations). In the rest of the Group, net releases in the Central Europe segment were offset by net allocations in Southeastern Europe. For defaulted loans (Stage 3), impairments of € 63 million were recognized in the reporting period (previous year's period: € 171 million), primarily for non-financial corporations at head office. In Stage 1 and Stage 2, impairments of € 46 million were recognized in the reporting period, most notably at head office (previous year's period: net
releases of € 110 million, primarily in Russia). Risk costs rose € 49 million year-on-year, following a net reversal of € 18 million in the Southeastern Europe segment in the previous year's period and an allocation of € 23 million in the reporting period.

1 Due to the sale of the Belarusian Group units at the end of November 2024, the income statement of the previous periods was adapted. The Belarusian result was reported in the income statement under the item gains/losses from discontinued operations.
The increase in the effective tax rate to 65.7 per cent was mainly due to the additional non-tax-related expense for the legal dispute in connection with the litigation brought by Rasperia Trading Limited, as well as the rise in the tax rate in Russia to 25 per cent (previous year's period: 20 per cent).
The global minimum tax for multinational companies (MindBestG) of 15 per cent, effective January 1, 2024, resulted in an additional tax expense of € 3 million in the first half-year. In most countries where RBI operates, the Safe Harbour Rules are met.

Cash on hand, balances with central banks, and other sight deposits decreased by € 709 million. On the one hand there was an increase in balances at central banks (increase: € 1,793 million), mainly in Russia (increase: € 6,705 million). This increase in Russia was reduced by the seizure of the compensation of € 2,109 million (including interest) awarded to Rasperia Trading Limited. The seizure occurred in the second quarter 2025 from a correspondent account of AO Raiffeisenbank at the Russian central bank. On the other hand there were reductions in head office (decrease: € 2,364 million), in Romania (decrease: € 1,456 million) and in Slovakia (decrease: € 1,262 million). Furthermore there were decreases in the position other demand deposits at banks in head office (decrease: € 1,935 million).
Under the item cash in hand, Ukraine and Russia reported a total of € 769 million. Cash balances in Russia decreased by € 400 million compared to the end of the year.
At the reporting date, cash and cash equivalents amounting to € 817 million were reported, which are subject to legal restrictions according to IAS 7.48, meaning that RBI cannot access these funds. Of this amount, € 765 million was attributed to Russia and Ukraine.

The carrying amount of the item financial assets – amortized cost increased € 2,530 million compared to year-end 2024.
The increase in debt securities of € 4,458 million resulted predominantly from purchases of government bonds (up € 3,989 million), mainly at head office (up € 2,055 million) and in Slovakia (up € 849 million), and was contrasted by the decrease in the lending business of € 1,929 million. This was derived from short-term business (down € 4,044 million), especially in Russia (down € 5,270 million), due to reallocation of short-term placements in central bank deposits into overnight deposits (balances at central banks), partly contrasted by the increase in the Czech Republic (up € 1,263 million), mainly driven by repo business with the national bank. The increase in loans to households (up € 1,686 million) came mainly from the Czech Republic and from Slovakia (up € 548 million and € 280 million, especially from mortgage loans), and from Russia (up € 206 million, completely currency related). Loans to non-financial corporations increased € 429 million primarily in Slovakia (up € 329 million), mainly due to higher loans to corporate customers, and in Hungary (up € 143 million), partly currency driven.
There are financial assets – amortized cost of € 1,502 million in Russia from payments by issuers of local debt instruments that cannot currently be passed on to foreign investors due to existing US and EU sanctions and are therefore deposited with the Russian Deposit Insurance Agency. They are not available for general use by head office.
RBI's credit portfolio is well diversified in terms of type of customer, geographical region, and industry. The following tables show the financial assets – amortized cost by counterparty. This reveals the bank's focus on non-financial corporations and households.

The credit quality analysis of financial assets is a point in time assessment of the probability of default of the assets.
The following table shows the connection between the rating categories and stages according to IFRS 9. It should be noted that for financial assets in Stage 1 and Stage 2, due to the relative nature of a significant increase in credit risk, it is not necessarily the case that Stage 2 assets have a lower credit rating than Stage 1 assets, although this is normally the case.

In the first half-year 2025 net modification effects amounted to minus € 14 million (previous year's period: minus € 8 million). As at 31 December 2024 the net modification effect amounted to minus € 23 million.

Current accounts/overnight deposits from banks increased mainly in head office by € 1,340 million. The increase was primarily driven by deposits from Raiffeisen Landesbanken. In contrast, the repurchase agreements decreased by € 1,416 million in head office.
Current accounts/overnight deposits from customers increased particularly strongly in the Czech Republic (increase: € 2,676 million), with deposits from households driving this development. Furthermore deposits with agreed maturity increased significantly in Hungary (increase: € 1,176 million) with deposits from non-financial corporations being particularly instrumental in driving this development.
Covered bonds increased in Slovakia by € 426 million due to issuances. In contrast, other debt securities issued decreased in head office (€ 1,139 million) and in Slovakia (€ 320 million).

The category not rated includes off-balance sheet commitments for some private individuals for whom no ratings are available. The rating is therefore based on qualitative factors.
The most significant assumptions used as a starting point for the expected credit loss estimates at quarter-end are shown below (source: Raiffeisen Research, May 2025).
Since 10-year government bonds are not issued in Ukraine, there are no long-term reference rates. Due to the current circumstances in Ukraine, no macroeconomic assumptions are currently being made about real estate prices.

In situations where the existing input parameters, assumptions and modelling do not cover all relevant risk factors, post-model adjustments and specific risk factors are the most important types of overlays. This is generally the case if there are temporary circumstances, time restrictions to adequately incorporate relevant new information into the rating and if individual loans within a loan portfolio develop differently than originally expected. In view of the given circumstances, in particular the war in Ukraine and the economic dislocations it has caused, it is necessary to reflect additional risks in the impairments. All of these adjustments are approved locally by the subsidiaries and centrally by the Group Risk Committee (GRC). There are portfolio-specific adjustments due to the war and associated sanctions, which are presented in the category geopolitical risk.
For the central models in the corporate segment, the additional risk was considered using the risk factors, while in the local retail segment the risks were applied on top of the models. For retail exposures, post-model adjustments are the main types of overlays applied for the calculation of the expected credit losses. Generally, post-model adjustments are only a solution to avoid potential distortions and typically not valid for more than one to two years. In contrast to the post-model adjustments, the other risk factors have a somewhat longer time horizon, as sanction risks, for example, can exist for longer.
The overlays are shown in the table below and split according to the relevant categories.

In addition to the risk provisions calculated in the model, overlays in Stage 1 and Stage 2 amounting to € 553 million (previous year: € 467 million) were taken into account. Of this amount, € 212 million (previous year: € 196 million) related to geopolitical risk, € 341 million (previous year: € 270 million) to macroeconomic risk (spill-over effects and other). An amount of € 14 million was recognized in the spill-over effects due to climate risks. Of this amount, € 9 million relates to corporate customers and € 5 million to retail customers.
For corporate customers, additional impairments were recognized in the amount of € 253 million (previous year: € 169 million) for macroeconomic effects. By the second quarter of 2025, these effects included € 99 million for global economic policy risks, which effects uncertainties regarding discussed tarrifs, counter-tarrifs and consequential effects. Furthermore, they include the so called spill-over effects. These spill-over effects are not included in the country-specific branch matrix. They are comprised of expected downgrades of corporate clients due to circumstances such as higher energy prices, inflation, and supply chain disruptions as well as lower revenues and higher costs stemming from rising energy costs, particularly from the previous years.
Additional impairments in the amount of € 200 million (previous year: € 179 million) were recognized for EU and US sanctions against Russia (€ 114 million) and for the effects of the war in Ukraine (€ 87 million). These impairments were recognized in response to the outbreak of war, the sanctions imposed and the uncertainties that have ensued, and based on RBI's internal monitoring and control policies. The exposures were also transferred to Stage 2 for other special risk factors that represent a significant increase in credit risk. Recognition of additional provisions in the amount of € 87 million (previous year: € 83 million) in Ukraine resulted from the modelling of the ongoing destruction of the country's energy infrastructure, ensuing blackouts, the continued shelling and an extension of loan maturities.
For corporate customers RBI considers the possibility of a short-term disorderly scenario where carbon emissions are more expensive and fossil energy prices are higher to account for climate and environmental risks. While, for a diversified portfolio like RBI´s, the effects tend to net out to a large degree, however there is an elevated risk in some sectors. These are sectors with customers with low environmental scores such, as oil & gas and construction. Higher probabilities of defaults for these sectors lead to an increase in the expected credit losses.
Over the last years retail customers were severely exposed to increasing inflationary pressure, which impacted their ability to cover their loan obligations. As part of the IFRS 9 framework, there are PD and LGD macro models at country and product levels, which serve the need to address these high risks stemming from the macroeconomic environment. However, for certain countries and portfolios where the macroeconomic models either lag behind the key macroeconomic variables (inflation, interest rates, unemployment, etc.) or are not part of the model, post-model adjustments are implemented for identified high risk customer groups. The latter involve a qualitative assessment of exposures for the expected significant increase in credit risk and their subsequent transfer from Stage 1 to Stage 2, as well as, in particular cases increases of the PD and/or LGD estimates respectively. The criteria for identifying such credit exposures are based on information from the loan application and historical payment behavior and are subsequently refined using stressed macroeconomic variables. The post-model
adjustments are reversed either after the risks have materialized by transferring the affected receivables to Stage 3 or if the expected risks do not materialize.
For the Ukrainian retail portfolio, which has been mostly reclassified as Stage 2 since the beginning of the war, the assessment of provision coverage is based on local expert judgement, which is obtained from regular contact with individual customers by the debt collection department. Furthermore, structured customer surveys are carried out to keep up to date with the needs and potential issues that could influence customers' ability to make payments. For assets and customers located in occupied regions or territories, which run a high risk of hostilities or occupation, risk parameters were increased to take into account higher expected future losses due to the above-mentioned surveys. In addition, the scenario-based approach mentioned above for the quantification of potential future losses from the very dynamic situation of the war in the Ukraine was also applied to retail exposures, leading to additional impairments in the amount of € 12 million (previous year: € 17 million).
To simulate a range for potential changes to estimates and the related change in impairments, the following sensitivity analyses of the most significant assumptions affecting the expected impairments were performed as follows.
The sensitivity analysis involved a recalculation of the impairments for expected credit losses in the existing models. The risk factors and post-model adjustments – except for the Stage 1 simulations – are fully included in all scenarios and are not subject to further adjustments. As a result of the complexity of the model, many drivers are not mutually exclusive.
The tables below provide a comparison between the reported accumulated impairment for expected credit losses for financial assets in Stage 1 and Stage 2 (weighted by 25 per cent optimistic, 50 per cent baseline and 25 per cent pessimistic scenarios), and then each scenario weighted by 100 per cent on its own. The optimistic and pessimistic scenarios do not reflect extreme cases in the sample space of the 25 per cent optimistic and pessimistic scenarios, but rather an economically plausible proxy. This means that these scenarios are at around 25 per cent and 75 per cent respectively on the distribution curve. In general, IFRS 9 specific estimates of risk parameters take historical default information into account alongside the current economic environment. The effects of the estimates based on macroeconomic forecasts are shown in the forward-looking component. This information is provided for illustrative purposes.

Overall, the macroeconomic scenarios are currently slightly better than the long-term average, leading to an decrease of the forward-looking component of € 67 million.
The positive scenario, which is presented in the table below, follows the premise that all exposures are classified as Stage 1 and all macroeconomic and geopolitical risks are not relevant.
The table below shows the impact of staging on accumulated impairment for financial assets on the assumption that all accumulated impairment is measured based on twelve-month expected losses (Stage 1).

The negative scenario assumes that all exposures are classified as Stage 2. As a result, all macroeconomic and geopolitical risks are considered in this analysis.
The table below shows the impact of staging on accumulated impairment for financial assets on the assumption that all accumulated impairment is measured based on lifetime expected losses (Stage 2).

| Additional amounts in Stage 2 | 824 | 658 |
The table below provides a comparison between the reported accumulated impairment for expected credit losses for financial assets in Stage 3 and the pessimistic scenario weighted by 100 per cent. The pessimistic scenario does not reflect an extreme case from the result range of the 25 per cent most pessimistic scenarios, but an economically plausible representative of it.

RBI employs a range of policies to mitigate credit risk, the most common of which is the acceptance of collateral for loans and advances provided. A valuation of collateral is performed during the credit approval process. This is then reviewed periodically using various validation processes. The main types of collateral which are accepted in RBI are residential and commercial real estate collateral, financial collateral, guarantees and movable goods. Long-term financing is generally secured, and revolving credit facilities are generally unsecured. Debt securities are mainly unsecured. Derivatives can be secured by cash or master netting agreements. Collateral from leasing business primarily consist of the value of the leased assets themselves. Items shown in cash and cash equivalents are considered to have negligible credit risk. Collateral is taken into account uniformly on the basis of Group directives. The Group directives regarding obtaining collateral were not significantly changed during the reporting period; however, they are updated on a yearly basis.
The collateral values shown in the tables are capped at the maximum value of the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. The following table shows non-trading loans and advances as well as loan commitments, financial guarantees and other commitments that are subject to impairment:

More than half of collateral which can be considered by RBI relate to loans collateralized by immovable property of which around 70 per cent is residential immovable property. Additional collateral mainly comes from guarantees received which include reverse repo and securities lending business, among other things.

Active risk management is a core competency of RBI. In order to effectively identify, measure, and manage risks the Group continues to develop its comprehensive risk management system. Risk management is an integral part of overall bank management. Particularly, in addition to legal and regulatory requirements, it considers the nature, scale, and complexity of the Group's business activities and the resulting risks. The implementation and management of ESG risks (environmental, social, corporate governance) was carried out in a cross-departmental project and covers all risk areas. At the beginning of 2024, ESG risk management was transferred to the respective risk management units of RBI. Further details on ESG risks are described in the chapter ESG Risks under item (41) Overall group risk management in the Annual Report 2024.
The principles and organization of risk management are disclosed in the relevant chapter of the Annual Report 2024.

A sound risk culture, including efficient risk data aggregation and data quality in accordance with the BCBS 239 principles, is a high priority for RBI. The risk management function continually seeks to adapt and improve internal processes to meet more complex data requirements driven, for example, by increasing ESG demands and digitalization.
The figures below refer to the regulatory scope of consolidation pursuant to CRR, which differs slightly from the scope of consolidation pursuant to IFRS. In terms of risk, the companies in the IFRS scope of consolidation that are not included therein are covered by the participation risk.
The impact from geopolitical tensions and increased tariffs from US has been assessed using a two-step approach, firstly by identifying the exposure in the potentially most affected sectors and an early intervention exercise on potentially most impacted exposures, and secondly by conducting an internal stress test.
The exposure-based impact analysis was performed top-down, looking at gross value added export to US from an industry and country perspective. Sensitive in this analysis corresponding to a decrease in gross value added in an industry of a country estimated at higher than 3 per cent under an assumed 25 per cent US import tariff. The exposure identified as sensitive represents around 2 per cent of total corporate portfolio, and has been included in the internal risk limit framework.
Furthermore, during the first half of 2025, starting in the first quarter, an early intervention exercise was executed, where in total 205 corporate customer groups in relevant sectors were analyzed and reviewed. As a result, affected customers (62 in total) were downgraded. In parallel the internal rating process has been extended and tariff exposure is added as one of the main risks to be analyzed and documented. During the second quarter, there were no material downgrade moves triggered by the US tariffs due to continued uncertainty on US policy (grace periods, extension of negotiation periods). In addition to US tariffs, a special screening of the Top 150 corporate customers was performed (irrespectively of their industry) related to their liquidity and refinancing risks (maturity wall exercise). Although no specific downgrades were executed due to that screening, an intensified reporting scheme (account ledgers, liquidity plans) with 10 per cent of the total customers were agreed due to their short-term refinancing profile. Those customers will – in addition – continuously be monitored and a monthly to quarterly rating review is performed.
RBI's market risk measures do automatically adjust to higher volatility regimes, special stress scenarios for US tariffs were added in the market risk scenario calculation. The market moves impacts have been managed within the weekly market risk committee with no breach of the group risk appetite limit. Margin calls are monitored closely and are well within the implemented methodology. Overall liquidity situation is stable and not impacted by US tariffs.
The internal stress test conducted during the second quarter on further tariff impacts revealed no unexpected effects, and compared to latest internal and external exercises, the overall effect (as measured via impact on CET1 ratio) was comparably milder and deemed covered within the approved risk and capital planning. As such, no additional overlays were reserved for further tariff impacts. The initial evaluation focused primarily on the direct impacts of US tariff policy. However, the affected portfolio will be closely monitored to assess potential subsequent and other impacts at an early stage.
In the Economic perspective, risks are measured based on economic capital, which represents a comparable risk indicator across all risk types. Economic capital is calculated as the sum of unexpected losses stemming from different Group units and different risk categories. In addition, a general buffer is held to cover risk types not explicitly quantified.
The Group uses a confidence level of 99.90 per cent to calculate economic capital. The economic capital slightly increased to € 9,449 million compared to year-end 2024. Increases were recorded in the credit risk for retail customers, market risk and operational risk, while the credit risk exposure for corporate customers and the currency risk for the capital position decreased. In the regional distribution of economic capital, Central Europe and Southeastern Europe show the largest shares while Austria's share decreased.

Credit risk is the largest risk for the Group's business. Credit risk means the risk of suffering financial loss should any of the Group's customers or counterparties fail to fulfil their contractual obligations to the Group. Credit risk arises mainly from loans and advances to banks, loans and advances to customers, lending commitments and financial guarantees given. The Group is also exposed to other credit risks arising from investments in debt securities and other exposures associated with trading activities, derivatives, settlement agreements and reverse repo transactions.
The following table shows the reconciliation of the gross carrying amounts of the items on the statement of financial position to the credit exposure (banking and trading book positions), which is used in portfolio management. It includes both exposures on and off the statement of financial position before the application of credit conversion factors, and thus represents the total credit exposure. It is not reduced by the effects of credit risk mitigation such as guarantees or physical collateral, effects that are, however, considered in the total assessment of credit risk. The total credit exposure is also used – if not explicitly stated otherwise – for referring to exposures in all subsequent tables in the risk report. The reasons for the differences in the values used for internal portfolio management and for external financial accounting are the different scopes of consolidation (regulatory versus accounting rules according to IFRS) and differences in the classification and presentation of exposure volumes, especially in the case of repo transactions and derivatives, particularly SA-CCR (standardized approach for measuring counterparty credit risk). Contractual arrangements that meet all the conditions of CRR Article 5, points (10) (a) to (e), are internally monitored however, excluded from the risk exposure in the risk report, as neither impairments nor risk-weightedassets are calculated for them.

The detailed credit portfolio analysis shows the breakdown by rating category. Customer rating assessments are performed separately for different asset classes using internal risk classification models (rating and scoring models), which are validated by a central organizational unit. The default probabilities assigned to individual rating grades are calculated separately for each asset class. However, the use of a master scale enables rating grades to be compared even across business segments.
Rating models in the non-retail asset classes – corporate customers, banks and sovereigns – are uniform in all Group units and rank creditworthiness in 27 grades of the master scale. For retail asset classes, country specific scorecards are developed based on uniform Group standards. Tools are used to produce and validate ratings (e.g. business valuation tools, rating and default databases).

The € 76 million increase in project finance was mainly attributable to increases in Slovakia, Austria and Bulgaria for energy supply and real estate projects, which were partly offset by declines in the Czech Republic and Germany. In Romania, the rating downgrade of the country resulted in a rating downgrade in the project finance sector from rating grade 6.1 to rating grade 6.2.

The largest increase was recorded in Southeastern Europe which resulted mainly from the rise in loans and advances in Romania, Serbia and Croatia. The increase in Central Europe was due to increased loans and advances, and bonds in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The decline in Austria resulted mainly from the decrease in loans and advances, and foreign exchange transactions.

Due to the rating model update from Point in Time (PIT) to Through the Cycle (TTC) for mortgage loans in the Czech Republic in May 2025, there was a shift of the affected portfolio from rating grade 0.5 to lower rating grades. The not rated credit exposure includes, among others, leasing companies and retail customers in Croatia. These customers either do not have an internal rating, or are part of portfolios under permanent partial use or portfolios for which PD model are in implementation process. In case of leasing units, creditworthiness is assessed based on scorecard models. The decline in not rated customers was mainly due to the fact that most of the credit card business in Austria and the portfolio acquired in Serbia received a rating in the first quarter of 2025.

In the first half-year of 2025, credit exposure to retail customers increased by € 2,607 million. The largest increase of € 1,323 million in Southeastern Europe resulted from higher consumer and mortgage loans, and facility financing in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The increase in Southeastern Europe of € 560 million resulted from increased consumer and mortgage loans in Croatia, Serbia and Romania. The segment Group Corporates & Markets recorded a rise of € 481 million, mainly due to increase in credit card business in the head office. In Russia, the retail customer portfolio was further reduced. The increase in Eastern Europe resulted from the appreciation of the Russian ruble.

The following table shows the credit exposure by internal rating for banks (excluding central banks). Due to the small number of customers (or observable defaults), the default probabilities of individual rating grades in this asset class are calculated based on a combination of internal and external data. The shifts within the individual rating categories partly resulted from the regular recalibration of the rating models for credit institutions.

Credit exposure to banks decreased primarily due to declined repo transactions (€ 2,692 million), mainly in France in rating grade 3, which was partly offset by increases in Germany. In addition, this decline was also offset by the increase in bonds (€ 755 million), primarily with international institutions in rating grade 1. Furthermore, there were increases in loans and advances (€ 280 million) in Luxembourg and Austria, which were partly offset by decreases in China and Russia.

Credit exposure to sovereigns increased mainly due to increased bond portfolios (€ 5,006 million) in Austria, Central and Eastern Europe, and Western Europe. The increase in loans and advances to sovereigns was primarily due to increased deposits at the Austrian national bank. The rise in repo transactions resulted mainly from increases at the Czech national bank. Money market transactions declined by € 6,967 million, mainly in Austria and Romania, and were partly offset by a currency-related increase in Russia.
The increase in rating grade 7 was due to the rating downgrade of Russia from rating grade 6. The rise in rating grade 1 resulted from higher repo transactions in the Czech Republic. The increase in rating grade 2 was attributable to the rating downgrade of the USA (€ 849 million) from rating grade 1. The decrease in rating grade 3 was due to a reduction in money market transactions in Slovakia, and to reduced deposits at the Romanian national bank.

The exposure mainly includes deposits of Group units at local central banks in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe, which serve to fulfil the respective minimum reserve requirements and act as a vehicle for short-term investment of excess liquidity and are therefore inextricably linked with business activity in these countries, and Russian and Ukrainian government bonds. The increase in Russia resulted from the appreciation of the Russian ruble.
The credit portfolio of the Group is well diversified in terms of geographical region and industry. Single name concentrations are also actively managed (based on the concept of groups of connected customers) by way of limits and regular reporting. As a result, portfolio granularity is high. The regional breakdown of the exposures reflects the broad diversification of credit business in the Group's European markets.

The largest increase was recorded in Central Europe and resulted mainly from increased repo transactions in the Czech Republic, which was partly offset by a decrease in money market transactions in Slovakia. The increase in Eastern Europe resulted from the appreciation of the Russian ruble. In Western Europe, the decrease was due to declined repo transactions in France, which was partly offset by increases in Germany and Great Britain. Austria recorded a decrease in money market transactions, which was partly offset by an increased bond portfolio, and loans and advances.

Compared to year-end, the volume of non-performing exposures decreased € 458 million to € 3,387 million. In organic terms, this was a decrease of € 470 million, mainly in Group Corporates & Markets with € 370 million, Russian ruble revaluation contradicted by € 33 million. Derecognitions and sales resulted in a decrease of € 500 million, repayments from Non Retail in an amount of € 254 million. This was contrasted with higher new defaults of loans non-financial corporations mostly in Austria. The NPE ratio decreased 0.3 percentage points to 1.8 per cent compared to year-end 2024 due to lower non-performing exposures, the coverage ratio decreased 1.4 percentage points to 50.2 per cent.

The reduction of non-performing exposure was mainly based due to the Group Corporates & Markets segment which recorded a decrease of € 377 million to € 1,580 million, mainly due to derecognitions and sales of non-performing loans in the amount of € 363 million and repayments from Non Retail clients in the amount of € 128 million. This was contrasted with higher new defaults of loans non-financial corporations. The NPE ratio fell 0.6 percentage points to 2.9 per cent.
The non-performing loans in the Central Europe segment decreased by € 82 million due to a decline in Hungary and Poland, in the Ukraine there was a reduction of € 34 million, the Southeastern Europe segment remained almost unchanged in comparison to year-end 2024, whereas the Eastern Europe segment, in Russia, saw an increase of € 31 million due to the revaluation of the Russian ruble.

Market risk management is based on a dual management approach. For the overall portfolio including the banking book, the model used is based on a historical simulation and is suitable for the longer-term management of market risk in the banking books (ALL model). For all market risks with a direct impact on the income statement, a model is used that forecasts shortterm volatility well (IFRS-P&L model). This model approach has been approved by the Austrian Financial Market Authority as an internal model for measuring the capital requirement for market risks in the trading book of the head office. Both models calculate value-at-risk figures for changes in the risk factors foreign currencies, interest rate development, credit spreads, implied volatility, equity indices and basis spreads. The tables below present an overview of the risk indicators under both models (ALL and IFRS-P&L) and the development by risk type.
| Model IFRS-P&L total VaR (99%, 1d) | VaR as at | Average VaR | Minimum VaR | Maximum VaR | VaR as at |

| Share price risk | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| Total | 10 | 21 | 7 | 42 | 10 |
Due to strong market movements influenced by geopolitical factors and uncertain American politics, an increase in interest and credit spread risks was recorded in the first quarter compared to the end of 2024. These developments worsened at the beginning of the second quarter, but markets recovered slowly in June and July, leading to lower credit spreads and reduced interest and spread volatilities.

Capital positions held in foreign currencies and open foreign exchange positions, structural interest rate risks (mainly in Euro, Czech koruna and Romanian leu) and spread risks from bond books (often held as liquidity buffers) were the main drivers of the VaR result.
The decrease of the total VaR (Model ALL) compared to year-end 2024 was mainly driven by the economical capital risk, which was partially compensated by the increased sensitivity in credit spreads due to current market conditions.
Market risk management is based on daily monitoring of market movements and position changes for the head office and Group units. In addition, developments on the local markets are updated daily and risk management is actively managed in order to be able to react quickly to changes.
With its strong liquidity position and proven processes for managing liquidity risk, RBI continuously demonstrates its high adaptability. The ILAAP framework and RBI's governance again proved to be solid and functional also in times of crisis. The daily monitoring of the liquidity position via dynamic dashboards showed that infrastructure and monitoring are effective and support fast responses in times of crisis.
The Group's funding structure is highly focused on retail business in Central and Eastern Europe. In addition, as a result of the Austrian Raiffeisen Banking Group's strong local market presence, the Group also benefits from funding through the Raiffeisen Landesbanken. Different funding sources are utilized in accordance with the principle of diversification. These include the issue of international bonds by RBI AG, the issue of local bonds by the subsidiary banks and the use of third-party financing loans (including supranationals). Partly due to tight country limits and partly due to beneficial pricing, the subsidiary banks also use loans with third-party banks.

The going-concern report shows the structural liquidity position. It covers all material risk drivers which might affect the Group in a business-as-usual scenario. The results of the going-concern scenario are shown in the following table. It illustrates excess liquidity and the ratio of expected cash inflows plus counterbalancing capacity to cash outflows (liquidity ratio) for selected maturities on a cumulative basis. The capital flows are based on assumptions employing expert opinions, statistical analyses and country specifics. This calculation also includes estimates of the stability of the customer deposit base, outflows from offbalance-sheet positions and downward market movements in relation to positions which influence the liquidity counterbalancing capacity.
Going-concern report is not affected by the derecognition of expected proceeds from enforcement of legal recourse against the Austrian assets of Rasperia Trading Limited.

The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requires the short-term resilience of banks by ensuring that they have an adequate stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets (HQLAs) to meet potential liability run offs that might occur in a crisis, which can be converted into cash to meet liquidity needs for a minimum of 30 calendar days in a liquidity stress scenario.
The calculation of expected inflows and outflows of funds and the HQLAs is based on regulatory guidelines. The regulatory limit for LCR is 100 per cent.

| Inflows | 14,165 | 17,127 |
| Outflows | 40,623 | 39,155 |
| Liquidity Coverage Ratio | 157 % | 182 % |
The LCR reduction was primarily due to an adjustment to the transferability of liquidity between Group entities and was made in consultation with the regulator. This change did not lead to any deterioration in the Group's liquidity risk position. Liquidity surpluses within the Group remained stable, as do the LCR ratios of the individual Group entities.
LCR is not affected by the derecognition of expected proceeds from enforcement of legal recourse against the Austrian assets of Rasperia Trading Limited.
The NSFR is defined as the ratio of available stable funding to required stable funding. Available stable funding is defined as the portion of equity and debt which is expected to be a reliable source of funds over the time horizon of one year covered by the NSFR. A bank's required stable funding depends on the liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of the various assets and off-balance-sheet positions. RBI targets a balanced funding position. The required stable funding and available stable funding are based on regulatory provisions. The regulatory NSFR limit is 100 per cent.

Details regarding various court, administrative or arbitration proceedings in which RBI is involved can be seen in the Annual Report 2024, chapter Other disclosures, note (38) Pending legal issues. The following is a description of the most significant proceedings in which RBI is currently involved. Generally, (default) interest amounts may occur in proceedings which may, depending on the duration of the respective proceedings, be equal to or higher than the respective amounts in dispute.
A provision is only recognized if there is a legal or constructive obligation because of a past event, payment is likely, and the amount can be reliably estimated. A contingent liability that arises from a past event is disclosed unless payment is highly unlikely. A contingent asset that arises from a past event is recognized when an inflow of economic benefits is virtually certain. In no instance in the description that follows is an amount stated in which, in accordance with IAS 37, this would be severely detrimental. In some cases, provisions are measured on a portfolio basis because this results in the obligation being estimated with greater reliability. RBI has grouped its provisions, contingent assets, and contingent liabilities under the headings of consumer protection, banking business, regulatory enforcement and tax litigation.
In August 2024, a Russian company, Rasperia Trading Limited (Rasperia) filed an action against the Austrian company STRABAG SE (STRABAG) and several major shareholders of STRABAG (STRABAG Shareholders) as well as against RBI's Russian subsidiary AO Raiffeisenbank with the Arbitration Court of the Kaliningrad Region. Rasperia, holding 28,500,000 ordinary shares and one registered share in STRABAG, alleges that it was deprived of its shareholder's rights, in particular by not being allowed to participate in shareholder meetings or nominate members of the supervisory board of STRABAG, it is not paid dividends for the past years and the dilution of its share in STRABAG without its consent and compensation in 2023. According to Rasperia, the forfeiture of all its shareholder's rights resulted in the infliction of losses in the amount of approximately € 1.983 billion, composed of the market value of Rasperia's share in STRABAG as well as unpaid dividends and interest on both amounts.
AO Raiffeisenbank is mentioned in the claim as related to the other defendants, although not accused of any wrongdoing. RBI AG is not a party to these proceedings.
Rasperia has separated the claims against STRABAG and the STRABAG Shareholders from the claims against AO Raiffeisenbank:
(i) The claim against STRABAG and the STRABAG Shareholders is for damages in the amount of approximately € 1.983 billion plus interest up to the date of execution of the judgment, as amended from time to time (Claimed Amount).
(ii) The claim against AO Raiffeisenbank is intended to ensure enforcement in Russia of the judgment rendered under item (i) above and therefore comprises the foreclosure on AO Raiffeisenbank funds (in particular with regard to its retained earnings) for the compensation of the Claimed Amount awarded to Rasperia and, in return, the recognition of AO Raiffeisenbank ownership of the 28,500,000 STRABAG ordinary shares and one registered share held by Rasperia from the date of execution of the judgment against AO Raiffeisenbank.
In the preliminary court hearing on 16 October 2024, the Claimed Amount was increased from approximately € 1.983 billion to approximately € 2.043 billion.
On 20 January 2025, the Arbitration Court of the Kaliningrad Region rendered its verdict and decided that STRABAG and the STRABAG Shareholders are liable to pay € 2.044 billion to Rasperia and that the verdict can be enforced against AO Raiffeisenbank's assets.
In its verdict, the Russian court has also acceded to Rasperia's request according to which the ownership rights for the shares of STRABAG held by Rasperia are to be transferred to AO Raiffeisenbank. However, Russian verdicts have no binding effect in Austria and the transfer of shares is therefore not enforceable. Furthermore, Rasperia's STRABAG shares are subject to an asset freeze under EU sanctions which also currently prevents their transfer.
On 21 February, AO Raiffeisenbank filed an appeal against the verdict with suspensive effect. On 24 April 2025, the Russian appeal court in St. Petersburg confirmed the first-instance verdict from the Arbitration Court of the Kaliningrad Region. As a consequence of this verdict from the Russian appeal court in St. Petersburg, AO Raiffeisenbank is required to pay the damages of € 2.044 billion, awarded by the Arbitration court of Kaliningrad Region. On 25 April 2025 AO Raiffeisenbank appealed the second-instance verdict in the next instance, the Court of Cassation in St. Petersburg. The appeal to the Court of Cassation was accompanied by a request to suspend the enforcement of the second-instance judgment, which has however already been dismissed by the Court of Cassation. The decision of the Court of Cassation on the appeal is still pending with the hearing before the Court of Cassation having been scheduled on 4 August 2025.
On 30 April 2025, Rasperia requested the Russian central bank (CBR) to enforce the judgement by debiting a correspondent account of AO Raiffeisenbank at the CBR with the RUB equivalent of € 1.870 billion (this corresponds to the damages awarded to Rasperia by the Arbitration Court of the Kaliningrad Region, excluding interest of approximately € 174 million). In accordance with this request, on 30 April an amount of RUB 174.221 billion was deducted or seized from a CBR correspondent account of AO Raiffeisenbank by the CBR in favor of Rasperia. The interest awarded to Rasperia by the Arbitration Court of the Kaliningrad Region had not been part of Rasperia's enforcement request to the CBR at that point in time but was the subject of a second enforcement request on 26 May 2025. Consequently, on 27 May 2025, an amount of approximately RUB 21.599 billion (corresponding to an amount of approximately € 239 million including additional interest accrued meanwhile) was deducted or seized from a CBR correspondent account of AO Raiffeisenbank by the CBR in favor of Rasperia; yet, in its second enforcement request, Rasperia omitted one day of the interest period. Finally, on 15 July 2025, upon Rasperia's third enforcement request, an amount of approximately RUB 36.7 million (corresponding to approximately € 400,000), which represents the remaining amount of interest, was deducted or seized from a CBR correspondent account of AO Raiffeisenbank by the CBR in favor of Rasperia.
RBI Group maintains a high degree of confidence in the judicial enforcement of its damage claim against Rasperia in Austria and the enforceability thereof against Rasperia's assets in Austria. The judicial enforcement of the damage claim against Rasperia can be carried out in full compliance with EU sanction law, to mitigate damages by seeking enforcement against Rasperia's assets in Austria. The legal bases for such recourse litigation are rooted, inter alia, in EU sanctions (Article 11a of Council Regulation (EU) 269/2014 and Article 11b of Council Regulation (EU) 833/2014), which specifically target cases like a recourse litigation against Rasperia. Accordingly, a positive outcome of the recourse litigation is still considered by management to be highly likely.
On 9 June 2025, Rasperia filed an application for an anti-suit injunction (ASI) before the Arbitral Court of the Kaliningrad Region, targeting the STRABAG Shareholders (Haselsteiner Familien-Privatstiftung, Dr. Hans-Peter Haselsteiner, the estate of Klemens Peter Haselsteiner (all three together: HPH Group), Raiffeisen-Holding Niederösterreich-Wien (together with its related holding companies: RHNW), UNIQA Österreich Versicherungen AG / UNIQA Insurance Group AG (together with its related holding companies: UNIQA)) and AO Raiffeisenbank. According to the ASI application, Rasperia seeks (A) to prevent the continuation of arbitration proceedings in Amsterdam initiated by the STRABAG Shareholders against Rasperia (Amsterdam Arbitration) and (B) to prohibit the filing of damage claims before foreign courts related to the Kaliningrad proceedings which resulted in the Russian verdict dated 21 February 2025. Rasperia requests a RUB equivalent of € 1.09 billion penalty to be enforced against AO Raiffeisenbank for non-compliance with the ASI in relation to the Amsterdam Arbitration, claiming AO Raiffeisenbank is controlled by RHNW. On July 2, 2025, Rasperia amended its ASI application to include Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) as a respondent and seeks to prohibit RBI from initiating foreign proceedings for damages related to the Kaliningrad proceedings. The preparatory hearing took place on 16 July 2025 and 23 July 2025. The oral hearing on Rasperia's ASI application has been scheduled on 29 September 2025.
The legal assessment of risks to potential claims in Austria claims remains unchanged. For more details please refer to Annual Report 2024, page 400.
Due to changed circumstances related to Rasperia's application for an anti-suit injunction, management's assessment of the expected cash inflow from enforcing claims against Rasperia has changed. The revised assessment as of June 30, 2025, considers Rasperia's application for the anti-suit injunction against RBI Group and the associated risks of asset outflow within the RBI Group, the chances of averting this, and the resulting delay in RBI's lawsuit against Rasperia in Austria. Consequently, management concluded that the criteria for recognizing an asset under IFRS were no longer met.
In the first half of 2025, the damages awarded to Rasperia amounting to € 2,109 million (including interest) were withheld from AO Raiffeisenbank's correspondent account by the Russian Central Bank, and the provision formed at the end of 2024 amounting to € 840 million was utilized. Due to the revised management assessment, the expected proceeds from the the expected proceeds from the enforcement of RBI's claims against the Austrian assets of Rasperia amounting to € 1,204 million were derecognized in June 2025. Despite the changed accounting treatment, the legal assessment remains unchanged, and the management maintains a high degree of confidence in its legal claim against Rasperia and the enforceability thereof against Rasperia's assets in Austria.
The anti-suit injunction was evaluated based on all available information and supported by a legal opinion regarding the necessity of forming a provision. Management concluded that an outflow of resources is not probable. Therefore in accordance with IAS 37 the criteria for recognition of a provision as of June 30, 2025 were not met.
Related to the above mentioned legal proceedings initiated by Rasperia against, among others, AO Raiffeisenbank, a Russian court has on 5 September 2024 issued a preliminary injunction, by which shares of AO Raiffeisenbank are subject to a temporary transfer ban with immediate effect. The purpose of the transfer ban is to keep the current state unchanged until Rasperia's claims are settled. As a result of this court decision RBI cannot transfer its shares in AO Raiffeisenbank which complicates the efforts of RBI to sell a controlling stake in AO Raiffeisenbank and will lead to further delays in this respect. As AO Raiffeisenbank's motion to cancel the preliminary injunction was rejected, AO Raiffeisenbank filed an appeal to the Arbitration Court of Appeal in St. Petersburg on 27 September 2024. On 5 December 2024, the Arbitration Court of Appeal confirmed the preliminary injunction. AO Raiffeisenbank filed an appeal to the Court of Cassation in St. Petersburg in January 2025 which was dismissed on 24 March 2025. The transfer ban on AO Raiffeisenbank shares, which was imposed as a measure to secure payment of damages, is expected to be lifted upon the disbursement of the full amount of damages including interest as awarded to Rasperia by the Arbitration Court of the Kalingrad Region. Accordingly, following the deduction or seizure of the full of amount of damages including interest awarded to Rasperia by the Russian verdict dated 20 January 2025, AO Raiffeisenbank filed a motion with the competent Russian court to lift the transfer ban on 23 July 2025. The decision this motion is still pending.
In Croatia, following litigation initiated by a Croatian consumer association against Raiffeisenbank Austria, d.d., Zagreb (RBHR), and other Croatian banks, two contractual clauses used in consumer loan agreements between 2003/2004 and 2008 were declared null and void: an interest change clause and a CHF index clause. The decision on the interest adjustment clause cannot be challenged any more. The decision on the nullity of the CHF index clause which was confirmed by the Croatian Supreme Court also passed control of the Croatian Constitutional Court. RBHR is exploring the possibility to challenge this decision, and submitted an application before the European Court for Human Rights in August 2021. The issue of CHF-indexed loans which were converted under the Croatian Conversion Act into EUR-indexed loans was pending before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) for preliminary ruling. In May 2022, CJEU published a preliminary ruling but like the Croatian Supreme Court in a sample dispute, CJEU did not answer whether consumers of converted loans are entitled to any additional compensation (besides the positive effects of the conversion performed under provisions of the Croatian Consumers Credit Act 2015). Therefore, the issue whether consumers are entitled to additional compensation (notwithstanding conversion) remained for domestic courts to judge, primarily for the Croatian Supreme Court. Based on the decisions already rendered on the nullity of the interest change clause and/or the CHF index clause, a number of borrowers have already raised claims against RBHR. In its session in December 2022, the Croatian Supreme Court adopted the view that consumers are entitled to additional compensation only in the amount of penalty interest on overpayments (if any) made until the conversion of CHF-indexed loans into EUR-indexed loans in 2015. However, in April 2023, the President of the Supreme Court informed the public that the adopted legal position did not pass the control by the Registrar for Judicial Practice of the Supreme Court who has authority to reverse any decision in case he considers that it does not comply with the law. In the meantime (July 2024), the CJEU ruled in joined cases C-554/21, C-622/21 and C-727/21 that such a legal practice (that a judge/registrar of case law who did not participate in the decision-making process can stop a final decision of another judge or council of the Supreme Court) is contrary to EU law. The harmonization of the CJEU judgment and the case law of the Supreme Court is still pending. The question of whether the consumers from converted CHF-indexed loans are entitled to additional compensation or not has not been resolved yet.A possible solution (whether consumers are entitled to additional compensation or not) is expected to be given in the individual rulings of the Croatian Supreme Court. Only such specific rulings may then be challenged before the Constitutional Court. Given current legal uncertainties relating to the statute of limitations, the validity of the CHF index clause/conversion performed, the calculation of the additional compensation, the further course of action, the final outcome of the request for preliminary ruling and the number of borrowers raising such claims, final quantification of the financial impact and the possible damage is not possible at this point of time. In this connection, a provision of € 56 million (previous year: € 58 million) was recognized.
In Poland, a significant number of civil lawsuits are pending in relation to certain contractual stipulations connected with consumer mortgage loans denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies. As at 30 June 2025, the total amount in dispute was approximately PLN 8,550 million (€ 2,015 million). The number of such lawsuits continues to increase.
In this context, a Polish court requested the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) to clarify whether certain clauses in these agreements breach European law and are unfair. The CJEU's preliminary ruling (C-260/18) in October 2019 does not answer whether the loan agreements are invalid in whole or part but merely gives interpretative guidance on the principles according to which the national courts must decide in each individual case. According to this, a loan agreement without unfair terms should remain valid provided that it is in conformity with national law. If a loan agreement cannot remain valid without the unfair term, the entire contract would have to be annulled. If the annulment of the entire contract triggers material negative consequences for the borrower, the Polish courts can replace the unfair term by a valid term in accordance with national law. The consequences of the contract being annulled must be carefully examined so that the borrower can consider all potential negative consequences of annulment.
In another proceeding involving RBI, the District Court for Warszawa-Wola in Warsaw requested the CJEU to issue a preliminary ruling concerning the way in which the contractual provisions concerning the rules for determining the buying and selling rates for foreign currency are to be formulated in the case of consumer mortgage loans indexed to a foreign currency. In the judgement of 18 November 2021 in case C-212/20, the CJEU considered that the content of a clause of a loan agreement that sets the buying and selling prices of a foreign currency to which the loan is indexed must enable a reasonably well informed and reasonably observant consumer, based on clear and intelligible criteria, to understand the way in which the foreign currency exchange rate used to calculate the amount of the repayment installments is set. Based on information specified in such a provision, the consumer must be able to determine on his or her own, at any time, the exchange rate applied by the entrepreneur. In the justification the CJEU specified that a provision that does not enable the consumer to determine the exchange rate himself or herself is unfair. Moreover, the CJEU indicated in said judgement that the national court, when the considered term of a consumer contract is unfair, is not allowed to interpret that term in order to remedy its unfairness, even if that interpretation would correspond to the common intention of the parties to that contract. Only if the invalidity of the unfair term were to require the national court to annul the contract in its entirety, thereby exposing the consumer to particularly unfavorable consequences, so that the consumer would thus be penalized, the national court might replace that term with a supplementary provision of national law. The CJEU therefore did not entirely preclude national courts hearing such cases from supplementing the contract with supplementary provisions of national law, but gaps may not be filled solely with national provisions of a general nature and such remedy may be applied only in strictly limited cases as specified by the CJEU. The assessment of an unfair nature of contractual provisions as well as the decision concerning supplementation of the contract after removal of unfair contractual clauses, however, still falls within the competence of the national court hearing the case. The CJEU did not determine at all whether, in the consequence of the above-mentioned actions, the entire foreign currency contract is to be annulled.
On 15 June 2023, the CJEU announced its judgment in case C-520/21 on the consequences of the annulment of a mortgage loan agreement vitiated by unfair terms. The consumer mortgage loan agreement indexed to CHF had been annulled on the ground that the conversion clauses determining the rate of exchange into PLN for purposes of the monthly installments were considered to be unfair and that the loan agreement could not continue in existence after removal of the unfair terms. The CJEU observed that EU law does not expressly govern the consequences of the annulment of a consumer contract which are to be determined by domestic legislation in the individual EU member states. Such domestic legislation has to be compatible with EU law and its objectives, in particular to restore the situation which the consumer would have been in had the annulled contract not existed as well as not to undermine the deterrent effect sought by EU law. According to the CJEU, EU law does not preclude consumers from seeking compensation from the bank going beyond the reimbursement of the monthly installments paid and the expenses paid in respect of the performance the mortgage loan agreement together with the payment of penalty interest at the statutory rate from the date on which notice is served. Nevertheless, it is a matter for the national courts to determine whether upholding such claims on the part of the consumers is in accordance with the principle of proportionality. By contrast, EU law precludes the bank from being able to claim from the consumer compensation going beyond reimbursement of the capital paid in respect of the performance of the mortgage loan agreement together with the payment of penalty interest at the statutory rate from the date on which notice is served.
Further specifications on the consequences of the annulment of a consumer mortgage loan agreement vitiated by unfair terms was provided by the CJEU in its judgments in cases C-756/22 of 11 December 2023, C-488/23 of 12 January 2024 and C-424/22 of 8 May 2024. None of these proceedings involved RBI directly. In all three cases, the CJEU considered that the interpretation of EU law requested by the referring courts can be clearly derived from the previous CJEU's judgments, in particular from judgement in case C-520/21 of 15 June 2023 comprehensively described in the paragraph above. In the case C-756/22 the CJEU stated that if a loan agreement is annulled on the ground that it contains unfair terms without which it cannot continue to be in force, the bank is not allowed to demand the consumer to pay amounts other than the capital paid in performance of that contract and statutory penalty interest from the time of the demand for payment. In the case C-488/23 the CJEU stated that EU law precludes banks from being able to claim from the consumer – in addition to the reimbursement of the capital sums paid in performance of the contract and statutory penalty interest from the date of the demand for payment - compensation consisting of a judicial adjustment of the benefit of the capital sum paid in the event of a material change in the purchasing power of the currency in question after that capital was paid to the consumer concerned. In the case C-424/22 of 8 May 2024 the CJEU stated that if a loan agreement is annulled on the ground that it contains unfair terms and
the bank is therefore obliged to make restitutory payments to a consumer, the bank is not entitled to apply the right of retention. This means that the bank is not allowed to withhold such payment until the debtor has repaid all sums that he or she had received from the bank under the loan agreement.
Which impact the above mentioned CJEU judgments will have on the decisions made by Polish courts in individual civil cases cannot be assessed finally due to the complexity and variability of case-specific factors, as well as the potential differing contexts and legal nuances involved in each case.
On 25 April 2024, the full Civil Chamber of the Polish Supreme Court (the "SC") adopted a resolution concerning legal issues concerning loans indexed to or denominated in a foreign currency. In line with CJEU judgments, the SC ruled that if a contractual term referring to an indexation mechanism is considered unlawful and is not binding, it cannot be replaced by another method of determining the foreign exchange rate resulting from provisions of law or established customs and the loan agreement shall not be binding in the remaining scope. The decision whether a contractual term is unfair is up to the court hearing the case concerning an individual loan agreement. If a loan agreement is not binding due to its unlawful terms, each party has a separate claim for the return of undue payments: the bank for the return of capital and the borrower for the return of payments. The SC found no justification for mutual settlement of the parties' claims by the court during the hearing of the case. The limitation period of the bank's claim for reimbursement of amounts paid under the loan shall, as a rule, commence on the day following the day on which the borrower challenged the binding force of the loan agreement against the bank. Thus, the start of the limitation period depends on the consumer's action and should therefore be analyzed individually in relation to each contract. This decision modified a previous decision of the SC which provided that the limitation period of the bank's claim would start after the consumer is informed about the potential consequences of declaring the loan agreement invalid and the consumer consents to such a declaration of invalidity. The SC also excluded the possibility for any party to claim interest or any other remuneration for the use of its funds in the period between the undue payment and the delay in reimbursing the payment. Despite the fact the resolution was adopted to resolve the arising interpretation issues connected with disputes concerning loans in Swiss francs, the conclusions arising from it are applicable to loans in other currencies, including loans in euro, as well.
The above resolution of the SC, combined with the earlier CJEU ruling, means that banks operating in Poland and holding foreign currency loan portfolios, including RBI, shall not be able to claim any additional remuneration and/or valorization in connection with such annulled agreements as set out above. Banks shall be limited then only to the possibility to claim the return of the capital made available to the customer when the loan was originated. This does not affect the possibility of demanding payment of penalty interest, provided that the conditions for which the bank may demand such interest are met. As regards the banks' claim of the return of capital, the guidance provided by the resolution of the SC and the current practice may be affected by the CJEU judgment dated 19 June 2025 set out below.
On 19 June 2025, the CJEU issued another judgment in case C-396/24, ruling that Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair terms in consumer contracts prevents banks from demanding full repayment of the disbursed nominal amount of a loan when such loan agreements are considered null and void, without considering prior repayments made by the consumer (set-off theory). This ruling may influence the current judicial practice of Polish courts, which, pursuant to the resolution of the Polish Supreme Court from 25 April 2024 (described in detail above), applies the "two claims" theory. Under this theory, banks may claim full repayment of amounts paid under a contract declared void, irrespective of the repayments made and the remaining balance owed. This theory has also served as the basis for banks suing former borrowers to secure capital repayment. Furthermore, the judgment prohibits the immediate enforceability of rulings favouring banks unless adequate consumer protections are in place. The potential impact on Polish jurisprudence remains uncertain, with possible outcomes ranging from the adoption of a set-off theory to the continuation of existing legal frameworks, as the judicial interpretation of this CJEU ruling may vary.
Polish common courts have referred further multiple questions to the CJEU regarding interpretation of the Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair terms in consumer contracts in relation to foreign exchange loan agreements. The issues include i.a. the legality of requiring consumers to pay legal costs, the interruption of limitation periods for the banks' claims, treatment of time-barred claims, banks' set-off rights, reimbursement of insurance costs, and the validity of contractual annexes. These inquiries seek to clarify how national laws align with EU consumer protection standards.
The lawsuits filed since 2020 were mainly triggered by the CJEU's decision in case C-260/18 and the increased marketing activities of law firms representing borrowers. In the first half of 2025, the Polish branch recorded 2,543 new lawsuits (previousyear-period: 3,284 new lawsuits), with an average of 424 new lawsuits per month during the reporting period (of which 337 for CHF loans and 87 for Euro loans).
The inflow could continue to decrease as a result of the increasing number of settlements being reached between RBI's Polish branch and borrowers.
Furthermore, Polish courts have approached the CJEU with further requests for a preliminary ruling in other civil proceedings which could lead to further CJEU's clarifications that could influence how court cases concerning foreign currency loans are decided by national Polish courts.
The impact assessment in relation to affected FX-indexed or FX-denominated loan agreements may also be influenced by the outcome of an ongoing administrative court proceeding resulting from the RBI Polish Branch's appeal against the decision of the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK).The contested decision stated that RBI's Polish
branch was engaged in practices violating the collective consumer interests and resulted in an administrative fine on RBI's Polish branch and an obligation to provide borrowers information on the violation in case the administrative decision becomes final. In June 2025, the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection ("SOKIK") fully dismissed RBI's appeal against the decision. RBI has requested a written justification for the ruling and will determine whether to appeal to the Court of Appeal in Warsaw after reviewing the justification.
Moreover, the Polish Financial Ombudsman, acting on behalf of two borrowers, has initiated a civil proceeding against RBI alleging employment of unfair commercial practices towards consumers in respect of a case in which RBI – following the annulment of a loan agreement – claimed the full loan amount originally disbursed without taking into account repayments made in the meantime as well as amounts due for the use of capital by the borrowers based on the principle of unjust enrichment, and has demanded that RBI discontinue such practices. In May 2023, the claim of the Financial Ombudsman was dismissed by the court of first instance. According to the court of appeal register, the Financial Ombudsman appealed against this judgement, however, the appeal has not been served to RBI yet.
RBI is also plaintiff in a number of ongoing civil lawsuits related to mortgage loans denominated in or indexed to Swiss Franc and Euro which are already terminated. As of 30 June 2025, the total amount in dispute is in the region of approximately PLN 205 million (€ 48 million). The claims of RBI are for principal and interest which had not been paid due to legal objections. The lawsuits are raised on contractual grounds or on the basis of unjust enrichment. In addition, RBI has initiated a number of lawsuits based on counterclaims for the reimbursement of capital against borrowers in case the borrower challenges the validity of the foreign currency mortgage loan against RBI. The filing of the lawsuits aims at securing RBI's claims and should prevent that they become time-barred.
As of 30 June 2025, the total amount in dispute in these proceedings amounted to PLN 1.674 billion (€ 395 million). A further bunch of proceedings is expected to be initiated until the end of 2025. In the coming years, the decision to file such lawsuits will depend on the development of national jurisprudence and potential legislative initiatives.
RBI has recognized a provision for filed and expected lawsuits in Poland regarding Swiss Franc and Euro loans, including default interest that will be payable to customers. As lawsuits have been filed by a number of customers, the provision is based on a statistical approach that takes into account both statistical data, where relevant, and expert opinions. The term provision, used here, includes provisions according to IFRS 9, where the gross carrying amount is reduced by the provision amount due to revision of expected cash flows, as well as provisions according to IAS 37.
RBI has around 19.8 thousand CHF loans to customers outstanding with a total volume of around € 1.4 billion and a further 10.2 thousand CHF loans have been repaid. These also include loans that are not expected to be the subject of litigation. Furthermore, RBI has around 9.0 thousand Euro denominated loans to customers outstanding with a total volume of nearly € 400 million and a roughly 9.0 thousand loans have been repaid.
The resulting provision amounted to € 2,122 million (previous year: € 2,071 million), of which € 1,977 million for CHF loans and € 145 million for Euro loans. The total amount of the provision in Poland represents RBI's best estimate of the future outflow of economic benefits. In calculating the provision for lawsuits filed in Poland, it is nevertheless necessary to form an opinion on matters that are inherently uncertain, such as regulatory announcements, the number of future lawsuits, the extent to which these will be upheld and the impact of legal decisions that may be relevant to the lawsuits received.
Thus a number of risks and uncertainties remain. Consequently the actual costs could differ from RBI's estimates and the underlying assumptions. This could result in the need for an additional provision. The main measurable uncertainties associated with the calculation of the provision relate to a potential reduction in the discount period, a decrease in discount rates, an increase in the number of total expected lawsuits for outstanding and repaid loans.
In May 2023, the Romanian consumer protection authority (ANPC) has disputed the way installments in connection with consumer loans are computed and claims that repayment schedules with fixed installments, which are composed of a bigger portion of interest and a lower portion of principal in the early stages of the repayment, are detrimental to consumers and therefore should be composed of an equal portion of capital and interest. It issued an order to stop such practice but a number of banks, including RBI's Romanian network bank Raiffeisen Bank SA, Bucharest, have obtained a suspension in court of the application of such ANPC measure. As the meaning of the order is not clear, it is not possible to determine at this point of time whether there will be any negative financial impact on Raiffeisen Bank S.A., Bucharest and, if yes, the potential damage involved. However, in case of a mandatory change of repayment schedules, the impact could be significant. In May 2023, Raiffeisen Bank SA, Bucharest has disputed in court the validity of the "findings" of the ANPC and the court has decided that the ANPC measure is to be put on hold until there is a final court decision in the dispute against the findings. In June 2025, Raiffeisen Bank SA, Bucharest won the dispute against the findings. Since this decision is final, the trial regarding the ANPC order can be resumed.
In June 2024, Raiffeisen Bank SA, Bucharest received another ANPC report which basically also concerns the entire Romanian banking market and is based on an ANPC investigation on how banks comply with the obligation to provide customers with sufficient information. Based on the allegation of "deceiving practice" applied by banks, the report requires the banks to take the following measures: (i) In case of consumer loans with variable interest rates, ANPC is of the opinion that banks should have applied an interest rate composed of a public index (like ROBOR, EURIBOR, etc.) plus a margin rather than a type of "market interest rate" (not linked to a public index). Thus, variable interest rates being "market interest rates" would have to be recalculated, also retroactively, by deducting the public index valid at the beginning of the first variable interest period from the initial variable interest rate. The difference would then be applied as a margin over the public index applicable for the respective variable interest period and the result would constitute the interest rate for such period. Since installments are composed of payments of interest and principal, all components are subject to re-calculation as if the index plus margin had been applied from the beginning. (ii) In case of CHF loans, the outstanding principal amounts as well as installments would have to be re-calculated by converting the CHF exposure into Euro at the exchange rate valid at the date of the respective credit agreements and by calculating the installments as if the loans had been granted in Euro while still applying the CHF interest rate. Both measures seem to apply to current loans as well as loans that were repaid in the last six months prior to the date of the ANPC report (7 June 2024). Raiffeisen Bank SA, Bucharest is of the opinion that it has acted in compliance with legal requirements and has filed a dispute against the ANPC report. Both measures decided by ANPC are put on hold until there is a final court decision on the merits of the case. Should the court dismiss the dispute, this will result in repayments to customers, as a result of the application of the two previously mentioned recalculation measures.
RBI is involved in a dispute with a Cayman Island Company (Cayman Island Company) and other parties (including several subsidiaries of and a director of the Cayman Island Company) centered on non-payment of guarantees given by the former parent company of the Cayman Island Company (Parent Company). In August 2019, RBI began proceedings against the Cayman Island Company (and other parties) in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, Financial Services Division (the Cayman Islands Court). In those proceedings, RBI alleges in general terms that through a series of fraudulent transfers (the Fraudulent Scheme) the Parent Company was stripped of its assets, to frustrate the enforcement of RBI's guarantees. In September 2019, RBI obtained an order against the Cayman Island Company, restricting its ability to deal with its assets (the Freezing Order), pending determination of the proceedings before the Cayman Islands Court. In November 2019, the Cayman Island Company filed its defense and counterclaim to the proceedings before the Cayman Islands Court, including a € 203 million counterclaim against RBI. The Cayman Island Company's purported counterclaim is founded on documents that the Cayman Island Company has, to date, refused to provide. Further defendant parties were added to the proceedings before the Cayman Islands Court in 2020. In December 2021, the Cayman Islands Court of Appeal refused attempts by the Cayman Island Company and other parties to challenge the Freezing Order and the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands Court. Those attempts were rejected with costs ordered in RBI's favor. In 2023, RBI amended its claim, added the director of the Cayman Island Company (Director) as a party to the proceedings before the Cayman Islands Court and increased its claim for damages from approximately € 44 million to approximately € 106 million plus interest and costs. An application by the Director to challenge jurisdiction and his joinder to the proceedings before the Cayman Islands Court was heard in February 2025 and refused in April 2025, with costs awarded in RBI's favour. RBI is awaiting the Director's defense. Other related proceedings or applications have been brought against RBI by the Cayman Island Company and/or parties within the Cayman Islands Company's group, including in Malta, British Columbia (Canada), and Massachusetts (USA). The application in Massachusetts was dismissed by the court. The proceedings in Malta and British Columbia are being defended, but are for declaratory relief only, and no damages are claimed.
In February 2025, RBI's subsidiary Kathrein Privatbank Aktiengesellschaft (Kathrein) was served with a claim for damages in the amount of € 50 million filed against it with the Commercial Court, Vienna, in connection with malversations by a former employee of Kathrein. Although Kathrein had already compensated the plaintiff for the amount originally subject to the malversation, Kathrein could not reach an out-of-court settlement with the plaintiff regarding the amount of the relating hypothetical loss of profit.The claimed amount is significantly higher than the amount determined by calculation of Kathrein, which is also supported by an external legal assessment. Following Kathrein's legal assessment, an adequate provision was recognized.
In September 2018, two administrative fines totaling PLN 55 million (€ 13 million) were imposed by FMA on Raiffeisen Bank Polska S.A. (RBPL), the former Polish subsidiary of RBI in the course of administrative proceedings based on alleged nonperformance of duties as the depositary and liquidator of certain investment funds. RBPL as custodian of investment funds assumed the role of liquidator of certain funds in February 2018. According to the interpretation of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority – which is known by its Polish abbreviation, KNF – RBPL failed to comply with certain obligations in its function as depository bank and liquidator of the funds. In the course of the transactions related to the sale of the core banking operations of RBPL to Bank BGZ BNP Paribas S.A., the responsibility for said administrative proceedings and related fines was assumed by RBI. RBI filed appeals against these fines in their entirety. In September 2019, in relation to the PLN 5 million (€ 1 million) fine regarding RBPL's duties as depositary bank, the Voivodship Administrative Court considered RBI's appeal and overturned the KNF decision in its entirety. However, the KNF filed an appeal in cassation against the judgement. In relation to the PLN 50 million (€ 12 million) fine regarding RBPL's function as liquidator, the Voivodship Administrative Court decided to dismiss the appeal and uphold the KNF decision in its entirety. RBI has raised appeal in cassation to the Supreme Administrative Court because it takes the view that RBPL has duly complied with all its duties. In April 2023, the Supreme Administrative Court decided to refer the case regarding the PLN 5 million (€ 1 million) fine back to the Voivodship Administrative Court for reconsideration. Furthermore, the Supreme Administrative Court dismissed RBI's appeal in cassation in connection with the PLN 50 million (€ 12 million) fine which is now final. However in October 2023 RBI filed a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights over this verdict. In October 2023, the Voivodship Administrative Court dismissed RBI's appeal and upheld the KNF decision imposing the PLN 5 million (€ 1 million) penalty on RBI in relation to the alleged violations of RBI's duties as depositary
of certain investment funds. A cassation appeal against this judgment to the Supreme Administrative court was submitted. In February 2025, the Supreme Administrative Court dismissed RBI's appeal in cassation in connection with the PLN 5 million fine (€ 1 million) which is now final. Both fines, i.e. the PLN 5 million fine (€ 1 million) and the PLN 50 million fine (€ 12 million), have already been paid.
In this context, several individual lawsuits and four class actions, aggregating claims of holders of certificates in the abovementioned investment funds, were filed against RBI, whereby the total amount in dispute as at 30 June 2025 equals approximately PLN 81 million (€ 19 million). Additionally, RBI was informed that a modification of a statement of claim had been submitted to the court which could result in an increase of the total amount in dispute by approximately PLN 91 million (€ 21 million). However, such modification has not yet been served upon RBI. The plaintiffs of the class actions demand the confirmation of RBI's responsibility for the alleged improper performance of RBPL (in respect of which RBI is the legal successor) as custodian bank. Such confirmation would secure and facilitate their financial claims in further lawsuits. Due to RBI's legal assessment, no provision has been recognized.
Additionally, RBI received a number of claim notices from BNP in connection with certain bank operations in respect of which BNP is the legal successor to RBPL. Said claim notices primarily relate to administrative proceedings conducted by the KNF (Polish Financial Supervision Authority) in connection with alleged failures of RBPL/BNP in acting as a depository of investment funds and could lead to cash penalties. Furthermore, claims in this context have been raised by investors to BNP, and as a mitigating measure RBI supports BNP in this regard. The financial impact can not be estimated at this time.
On 7 July 2024, the Austrian Federal Finance Court (Bundesfinanzgericht) submitted a request for a preliminary ruling to the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU"), asking whether the following value-added tax ("VAT") exemption in § 6(1) No. 28 second sentence of the Austrian VAT Act constitutes state aid according to Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. According to § 6(1) No. 28 second sentence of the Austrian VAT Act services provided between companies that predominantly carry out banking, insurance, or pension fund transactions are exempt from tax, provided that these services are directly used to carry out the aforementioned tax-exempt transactions, and for personnel leasing by these companies to the associations (Zusammenschlüsse) mentioned in the first sentence of § 6(1) No. 28 of the Austrian VAT Act. Based on this regulation, RBI has provided and received VAT-exempt services. Should the CJEU rule that the tax exemption constitutes (forbidden) state aid, it is to be expected that such state aid would be reclaimed for the past (for a maximum of ten years). It is expected that this might result in repayment obligations of RBI and some of its Austrian subsidiaries in the aggregate amount of approximately € 20 million. A provision was made in the amount of the expected repayment obligation. In July 2024, an amendment to the Austrian VAT Act was adopted, according to which the VAT exemption in § 6(1) No. 28 second sentence of the Austrian VAT Act was deleted as from 1 January 2025. On 5 May 2025, the CJEU ruled that the preliminary request of the Austrian Federal Finance Court was inadmissible. The Austrian Federal Finance Court submitted a new request for a preliminary ruling on 30 May 2025. As a result of these procedural processes, no changes were made to the creation of provisions.

1 Previous-period figures adapted due to changed allocation
The average headcount fell 2,020 full-time equivalents year-on-year to 44,876, primarily due to the sale of the Belarusian Group units (down 1,618) and in Russia (down 1,040). In contrast, increases were recorded particularly in Hungary (up 465), at head office (up 118) and in the Czech Republic (up 101).
RBI is subject to the own funds requirements pursuant to Article 92 CRR and the combined capital buffer requirement pursuant to the Austrian Banking Act ("BWG"), which comprises a capital conservation buffer (Section 22 BWG), a systemic risk buffer (Section 23e BWG), a capital buffer for systemically important institutions (Section 23d BWG) and a countercyclical capital buffer (Section 23a BWG). From 1 July 2025, RBI is also required to comply with the newly introduced sectoral systemic risk buffer for risk-weighted assets in the commercial real estate sector in Austria (Section 23d (7) BWG). A breach of these requirements could lead to restrictions on dividend distributions and coupon payments.
The Financial Market Stability Board (FMSG), which is responsible for this in Austria, has recommended that the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) impose a systemic risk buffer (SyRP) and a capital buffer for systemically important banks (O-SII buffer) for RBI. Since 1 January 2025, the SyRP has been 1 per cent at consolidated level and 0.50 per cent at unconsolidated level, while the O-SII buffer is 1.75 per cent at both, consolidated and at unconsolidated level. The capital conservation buffer is 2.5 per cent. The new sectoral systemic risk buffer for risk-weighted assets in the commercial real estate sector in Austria, which was introduced on 1 July 2025, will be 1 per cent and must be met on a consolidated and individual level. The countercyclical capital buffer, on the other hand, was set at 0 per cent in Austria, but amounts to 0.66 per cent based on the buffer rates set for banks in other EU member states and the corresponding weighted average calculation of RBI's business.
In addition, the ECB requires RBI to hold additional capital (Pillar 2 Capital Requirement, P2R) of 2.79 per cent on the basis of the annual Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) in order to cover risks that are not sufficiently covered by Pillar 1. These requirements have applied at consolidated level since 1 January 2025. The ECB also expects compliance with the Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G) of 1.25 per cent.
The capital requirements were complied with on an ongoing basis and as at 30 June 2025, the CET 1 ratio (including combined capital buffer requirements) was 11.98 per cent; taking into account the P2G, the ratio was 13.23 per cent. Regulatory changes are monitored and taken into account in planning.
The entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 (CRR III) on 1 January 2025, led to significant changes in the calculation of riskweighted assets and capital requirements, particularly through the introduction of the output floor and revised standards for credit and operational risk. These regulatory changes form the basis for shifts within the individual risk positions, including the discontinuation or redefinition of individual categories. As a result, full comparability with historical figures is no longer entirely possible.
The following consolidated figures have been calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) and other statutory provisions such as the Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) of the European Banking Authority (EBA).

The Group uses alternative performance measures in its financial reporting, not defined by IFRS or CRR regulations, to describe RBI Group's financial position and performance. These should not be viewed in isolation but treated as supplementary information.
These key figures are often used in the financial sector to analyze and describe the earnings and financial position. The special items used below to calculate some alternative performance measures arise from the nature of Group's business, i.e. that of a universal banking group. However, it is to mention that the definitions mostly vary between companies. Please find the definitions of these ratios below.
Consolidated return on equity – The profitability ratio is calculated from the ratio between the adjusted consolidated result and the average consolidated equity. The adjusted consolidated result consists of the consolidated result reported in the income statement less the other comprehensive income recycling effects in the course of deconsolidation reclassified into income statement as well as the dividend on the additional tier 1 capital. The consolidated equity is the capital attributable to the shareholders of RBI. It is calculated on an average monthly basis excluding capital of non-controlling interests and without consolidated result.
Cost/income ratio is an economic metric and shows the company's costs in relation to its income. The ratio gives a clear view of operational efficiency. Banks use the cost/income ratio as an efficiency measure for steering the bank and for easily comparing its efficiency with other financial institutions. General administrative expenses (excluding recharged transaction tax) in relation to operating income (less recharged transaction tax and before impairment) are calculated for the cost/income ratio. General administrative expenses comprise staff expenses, other administrative expenses, and depreciation/amortization of intangible and tangible fixed assets. Operating income comprises net interest income, dividend income, current income from investments in associates, net fee and commission income, net trading income and fair value result, net gains/losses from hedge accounting and other net operating income.
Effective tax rate (ETR) – Relation of income tax expense to profit before tax. The effective tax rate differs from the company's jurisdictional tax rate due to many accounting factors and enables a better comparison among companies. The effective tax rate of a company is the average rate at which its pre-tax profits are taxed. It is calculated by dividing total tax expense (income taxes) by profit before tax. Total tax expense includes current income taxes and deferred taxes.
Loan/deposit ratio is used to assess a bank's liquidity. It is calculated with loans to non-financial corporations and households in relation to deposits from non-financial corporations and households.
Net interest margin – This profitability ratio is calculated with net interest income set in relation to average interest-bearing assets (total assets less investments in subsidiaries and associates, tangible fixed assets, intangible fixed assets, tax assets and other assets).
NPE – Non-performing exposure – It contains all non-performing loans and debt securities according to the applicable definition of the EBA document Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on Supervisory Reporting (Forbearance and nonperforming exposures).
NPL – Non-performing loans – It contains all non-performing loans according to the applicable definition of the EBA document Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on Supervisory Reporting (Forbearance and non-performing exposures).
NPE ratio is an economic ratio to demonstrate the proportion of non-performing loans and debt securities in relation to the entire loan portfolio of customers and banks, and debt securities. The ratio reflects the quality of the loan portfolio of the bank and provides an indicator for the performance of RBI's credit risk management.
NPL ratio is an economic ratio to demonstrate the proportion of non-performing loans in relation to the entire loan portfolio to customers and banks. The ratio reflects the quality of the loan portfolio of the bank and provides an indicator for the performance of RBI's credit risk management.
NPE coverage ratio describes to which extent non-performing loans and debt securities have been covered by impairments (Stage 3) thus expressing the ability of a bank to absorb losses from its NPE. It is calculated with impairment losses on loans to customers and banks and on debt securities set in relation to non-performing loans to customers and banks and debt securities.
NPL coverage ratio describes to which extent non-performing loans have been covered by impairments (Stage 3) thus expressing the ability of a bank to absorb losses from its NPL. It is calculated with impairment losses on loans to customers and banks set in relation to non-performing loans to customers and banks.
Operating result is used to describe the operative performance of a bank for the reporting period. It consists of operating income less general administrative expenses.
Operating income – They are primarily income components of the ongoing business operations (before impairment). It comprises net interest income, dividend income, current income from investments in associates, net fee and commission income, net trading income and fair value result, net gains/losses from hedge accounting and other net operating income.
Provisioning ratio is an indicator for development of risk costs and provisioning policy of an enterprise. It is computed by dividing impairment or reversal of impairment on financial assets (customer loans) by average customer loans.
Return on assets (ROA before/after tax) is a profitability ratio and measures how efficiently a company can manage its assets to produce profits during a period. It is computed by dividing profit before tax/after tax by average assets (based on total assets, average means the average of year-end figure and the relevant month´s figures).
Return on equity (ROE before/after tax) provides a profitability measure for both management and investors by expressing the profit for the period as presented in the income statement as a percentage of the respective underlying (either equity or total assets). Return on equity demonstrates the profitability of the bank on the capital invested by its shareholders and thus the success of their investment. Return on equity is a useful measure to easily compare the profitability of a bank with other financial institutions. Return on the total equity including non-controlling interests, i.e. profit before tax respectively after tax in relation to average equity on the statement of financial position. Average equity is calculated on month-end figures including non-controlling interests and does not include current year profit.
Return on risk-adjusted capital (RORAC) is a ratio of a risk-adjusted performance management and shows the yield on the risk-adjusted capital (economic capital). The return on risk-adjusted capital is computed by dividing consolidated profit excluding the accumulated effects in the course of deconsolidation reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement by the risk-adjusted capital (i.e. average economic capital). This capital requirement is calculated within the economic capital model for credit, market, and operational risk.
Common equity tier 1 ratio – Common equity tier 1 as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets (RWA) according to CRR/CRD IV regulation.
Leverage ratio – The ratio of tier 1 capital to all exposures on and off the statement of financial position insofar as they are not deducted when determining the capital measurand. The calculation is in accordance with the methodology set out in CRD IV.
Total risk-weighted assets (RWA) – Risk-weighted assets (credit risk, CVA risk) including market risk and operational risk.
Tier 1 ratio – Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets (RWA).
Total capital ratio – Total capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets (RWA).

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Raiffeisen Bank International AG, Vienna, for the period from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprise the statement of financial position as of 30 June 2025, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the period from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025 and the condensed notes, summarizing the significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's) for Interim Reporting as adopted by the EU.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review procedures.
Our liability towards the Company and towards third parties is limited in accordance with § 125 par 3 Austrian Stock Exchange Act in connection with § 275 par 2 of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) and § 62a Austrian Banking Act (BWG).
We conducted our review in accordance with Austrian Standards for Chartered Accountants, in particular in compliance with KFS/PG 11 "Principles of Engagements to Review Financial Statements", and with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity".
A review of interim financial statements includes primarily of making inquiries, primarily of company personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review procedures, nothing came to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS's) for Interim Reporting as adopted by the EU.
We have read the accompanying interim group management report and evaluated whether it does not contain any apparent inconsistencies with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Based on our evaluation, the interim group management report does not contain any apparent inconsistencies with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
