Net Revenue
Up on growing Fees, resilient NII and solid Trading

CONSISTENT EARNINGS GROWTH ...
Earnings continue to grow (+6.7% 1H/1H, +6.0% Y/Y)
... IN A SELECTIVE, PROFITABLE, HIGH QUALITY WAY
Continuous focus on quality:
- Resilient, best-in-class Net NII well above COE
- Top tier Fees to Revenue, with strong upside potential
- LLPs still at low point and stable driven by conservative provisioning andwritebacks
- Trading continues to be solid
OUTLOOK
Strong Fee growth over medium term and confirmed high quality NII above CoE
Net Interest Income
Resilient and highly profitable on its own merit

RESILIENCE & QUALITY DISCIPLINE
- Solid, stable NII (−0.4% Q/Q) despite rates down
- Relentless quality focus in last 3 years led to constrained growth but superior Net NII RoAC now reaching 20.6%
- Continuous shift in lending mix towards higher profitability and crossover segments and products
- Strong discipline on deposit pass-through management: 31.5% in 2Q24
NII SENSITIVITY
Pass-through ± 1p.p. = c.130m (annualized)
Rates6 ± 25bps = c.140m (annualized)
OUTLOOK
NII profitability above cost of equity even when rates normalize,
1. Calculated as Interest income on average interest earning assets minus interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities 2. Stated NII net of LLPs 3. Numerator calculated by adjusting the Stated NII by the C/I ratio (pro quota), LLPs and tax rate (always assumed flat at 30%, to neutralize the possible relevant volatility of this item). Denominator resulting from 13% CET1 * Credit and counterparty risk RWAs (average between RWA BoP and EoP) 4. Impacts related to both deposits and loans 5. Including structural hedge of core deposits in 2Q24: amount c.184bn, avg yield c.1.1%, duration slightly below 5 years 6. Based on average Euribor 3M / ECB Deposit Facility Rate
Asset Quality and Cost of Risk
Structurally lower cost of risk protected by strong coverage

STRUCTURALLY LOWER TODAY
- Strong and well covered asset quality, with overlays stock remaining high to protect the future
- CoR at 5bps in 1H, in line Y/Y; stable1 in ITA and GER, while CEE benefits from continuous writebacks and NPE disposal. Steady de-risking in RU led by writebacks
- CoR excluding Russia at 12bps in 1H, broadly in line Y/Y
- Provisioning and portfolio quality allowing to cushion increase in "other charges & provisions"2in RU, notimpacting profitability
OUTLOOK
- Reaffirming 2024 guidance to <20bps considering possible normalization in overall COR
- CoR in 20-25bps area in 2025-26, also leveraging overlays
- High overlays to protect against spikes
1. Stable Q/Q in Italy (exc. a largely state-guaranteed single name in 1Q24) and in Germany
2. Other charges and provisions taken on Russia related to a trade finance transaction based on the current assessment of legal proceeding outcome and client reimbursement probability
