9m17 Group core PPI increases by +9% yoy; Q317 provisions level off

Highlights

Group P&L

9m17 group PPI at €513m, flat yoy, on the back of:

• Flat group core income reflecting sustained deleveraging offset by

lower funding costs

• Lower group OpEx (-8% yoy equal to c€60m yoy)

• Increased non core income losses of €155m in 9m.17

More specifically in 3Q:

• NII down by 7% qoq or -€27m qoq, reflects continuing deleverage of

the loan portfolio, as well as reducing exposure to high yielding GGBs

• Net fees and commissions (-4% qoq) are up +43% yoy in the 9m,

benefitting from the elimination of Pillar funding costs and a pick up in

retail and other banking related fee income

• Group OpEx reduction (-8.0% yoy), is driven by domestic personnel

costs (-12.4% yoy), reflecting the 2016 VES

• Domestic credit risk charges are down by 24% qoq, but remain

conservative with a CoR ratio of 198bps; NPE coverage increases by

40bps qoq to 56.6%, the highest among domestic peers
