EE again sells its potential
S t r o n g fundamental g r o w t h potential
1
Ø EE is likely to return to a moderate GDP growth track (EE CAGR 2011\2020 +3,2%, Ukraine +3,8%, Russia +4,1%)
Ø In the long run EE banking revenues have above par growth prospects mostly driven by economic growth, lending volumes and risk costs (EE revenues CAGR 2011\2020 +9,7%)
Ø EE is still very underpenetrated in banking (Retail volume/Disposable income 100% vs 371% world av. - Corporate volume/GDP 56% vs 99% world av.)

Origin Outlook for the next years
q EE markets continue to be underpenetrated (retail volumes over disposable income is only 100% vs ~370% global average)
q There is a natural momentum to PFA accumulation
q Eastern Europe is likely to stay one of the fastest growing regions in a global setting
q Two drivers at play Ø GDP growth potential of the
region Ø Low penetration

Rollercoaster
Ø EE macro-economic outlook clearly worsened in the last 12 months (Ukraine 2011\2015 GDP growth forecast in July 2011 was +4,23%, in July 2012 was +3,48% and continuously decreasing)
Ø Plenty of possible global downturn banking scenarios could impact EE banking in different extent (Eurozone breakup, Asia slowdown, US fiscal spiral)
Ø Macro volatility led ¾ of banks to be valued at below 1.0x (EE is the region with the highest number of “below 1x” P/BV banks (77% vs world av. 61%)

S t r u c t u r a l volatility 2
Origin Outlook for the next years
q Fragmented markets with: Ø Low financial wealth Ø Declining demographics
q Sensitivity to developments in EU and global commodities markets (Russia/Ukraine)
q The combination of low wealth and poor demographics creates vulnerability
q The region seems to be sensitive to adverse events, e.g., EMU breakup
q Valuation multiples hit their lows

There are different sheeps in the herd
Ø In the last 12 months divergences in performance have been expected among EE banks. Main groups: Relative stability (Czech Republic, Slovakia), Healthy (Russia, Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria), Constrained (Hungary, Ukraine, Serbia, Romania, Bosnia, Albania)
Ø The increasing diversity is reflected by the widening ROE gap between the best and the worst (more than 10% difference between “performing” and “constrained” groups)
Ø The divergence between banking groups is also prominent, even within the same markets (Av. ROE–COE, from +2,6% to -5,2%)
Ø High margin and low cost in EE are key factors keeping banking returns high versus WE, however, both are vulnerable

I n c r e a s i n g diversity of performance 3
Origin Outlook for the next years
q Macro/banking vulnerability differs by country
q Broadly, two country performance groups: “Constrained” and “Performing” countries
q Several regional players are severely hurt
q Risk costs at peak levels in many markets
q Health’ (sustainable Loan-to-Depo and capital adequacy) has become a true differentiator
q Risk cost rebound
6
Industrial revolution starts in Emerging Markets
Ø While slower than in Northern Europe, role of branches is expected to change in CEE as well, requiring answers from banks (expected decline in branch visits: NE -48%, CE -27%, EE -20%)
Ø Young citizens of some EE countries already match and exceed their WE peers in terms of Internet usage, but there is still a gap in mature groups
Ø 16-24 generation growing older will likely apply their habits also to banking needs

Technological shifts 4
Origin Outlook for the next years
q Rapid changes in consumer behavior and challenging economics make for rapid adoption of new technologies
q Threat of new/non-traditional entrants

3 key strategies
Ø The portfolios of the Top 10 banking groups remain fragmented
Ø Consolidate / exit sub-scale markets Ø Potential asset swaps
Portfolio reshaping
Front-office effectiveness
Operational consolidation
Ø Raise effectiveness of physical networks, re-define channel strategy
Ø Pilot new technologies Ø Focus more on strategic customer segments
Ø Truly ‘frugal’ look at operating cost base and processes
Ø Lean 2.0 to reduce waste in operations and rationalize costs
Ø Consolidate operations regionally, where possible
