1H 05 profit at record level of 784 m, driven by: Strong commission income (+21%) NII almost stable despite flatening yield curve

historic Slovakian loan (net 68 m)

Q2 05 (314 m), down q/q due to: One-off income in 1Q ( 68m) expected higher cost level:

Elimination of time lag in usage of IT and marketing budgets ( Q2/Q1 40m)

Higher income-related staff costs ( 27 m esp. at KBC Financial Products)

Restructuring costs (20 m) Q2 05 y/y trend: Q2 04 includes write-back (73 m) of

Competitive landscape in Belgium

In 1H 05, NIM was stable y/y at 2.0 %.

In Q4 04 and Q1 05 the (obviously lagging) effect of the flattening of the yield curve was offset by the improved product mix (shift to low-yielding liquid savings deposits in anticipation of an interest rate hike). In Q2 05, customers switched to long-term investments, anticipating deposit rate cuts (-25 bps as of Q3 03).

Volume growth (deposits/loans) was strong in Belgium, further boosting NII

Since mid-2004, credit spreads have seen a significant deterioriation as a result of increased price competition. Currently, pricing rationality is tending to be restored.

Change in retail market share since the beginning of 2004 (avg. deposits and loans), proxy

Source: Febelfin (market sample)Includes consumer loans, mortgages, saving accounts and saving certificates

In 2004, the large banks, representing >80% of the market, lost roughly 1% market share to the benefit of smaller players. But from 1H05, this trend seems to be on the wane.

KBC has been able to keep its market share stable (and may have further increased its market share in unit-linked insurance and probably mutual funds).

Do not underestimate the market: KBC Group is well positioned:

Consolidated banking market (80% of assets held by top-4 players)

Savings ratio amongst highest in the world (every year, ca. 15% of GDP flows into fin. assets)

Market highly receptive to cross-selling of AM & insurance, fueling strong growth trend in AM and life insurance business

Strong mortgage growth trend (ca. 10% per year) expected to continue, as residential property price levels are still below other European markets

Fee rates for retail banking services only 50% of European average (gradual increase expected)

Credit quality has proven to be solid over the cycle

Top-3 market position, esp. strong in Northern region (one of the wealthiest regions in the EU)

Of the top players, level of customer satisfaction is highest

Innovative product offering in retail AM (steadily increasing market share over the past 10 yrs.)

Still high cross-selling potential for (non-life) insurance products and well-performing bancassurance distribution model

Well-diversified revenue structure (50% fee income) and further increase in fee income targeted

Further cost efficiency improvement potential, among other things, via co-sourcing of back offices with other banks

Strong market growth momentum: KBC Group is well positioned:

Earning drivers in CEE - overview

Nom. GDP growth in 2005/06 at 6.3%. Although prospects have been revised due to global economic slowdown, growth will still outgrow EMU by c. 3%

Ongoing catch-up in product penetration (currently, an avg. of 45% for banking accounts and 5% for mortgages)

Mortgage volumes growing at double-digit pace (up 51% on avg. in 2004)

Financial sector could grow five-fold if financial assets to GDP were to reach current levels of S. Europe

Solid market position in retail and corporate businesses (excl. banking in Poland) with nationwide branch networks

Competitive advantage in enhancing cross-selling of asset management and insurance products

Well positioned in HNWI and private banking through epb know-how

C/I still on the high side overall, inducing further improvement, e.g., by setting up cross-border platforms for processing transactions

Adequately provisioned balance sheet (risks under control)

Now the model is in place:

Implementation of KBC’s distribution model and setting up of sales incentives and adequate sales approach

Unified management responsibility (joint management committee of bank and insurance)

= competitive advantage relative to other CEE players

Results are encouraging:

Page 30: KBC Bank Debt investor presentation Autumn 2005

Growth in AM fueling CEE earnings

KBC is well positioned:

Strong appetite for ‘risk-free’ investments in the market (money-market, capital-guaranteed funds), fully in line with KBC’s core competencies and successful track record in Belgium

Cost/AUM below average (around 16 bps vs. 20 bps for Europe)

= competitive advantage relative to other CEE players

Results are encouraging:

AUM grew in ’04 by 25%. Continued high growth expected in coming years (CAGR of 15-20% in mutual funds and 10-15% in pension products)

Via the funds business, new customers are recruited. Existing customers using deposits to buy funds replenish deposit accounts after one year

Private banking in higher gear

Dual brand strategy: network-led vs. ‘independent boutique’

Growth drivers: network trade-up, extension of product offer and hiring of private bankers

Business model: integrated private banking business in selected European markets focusing on clients with >€1m of investable assets

Total assets currently amounts to 76 bn (Sep-05)

Integrated network of local pure-play private banking brands (boutique style)

Priority of reducing costs by creating synergies in a central ‘hub’ (IT, operations, support)

Growth drivers: increased share of wallet, hiring of PB managers and opportunistic M&A

Low-growth market

Focus on profitability (leveraging the hub)

If possible, steer repatriated assets to KBC onshore

No expansion, except in IFAs with short payback

Small today , but high market growth expected (>15% p.a.)

Strengthening a network-led model, leveraging Belgian experience

FY 2005 profit outlook

KBC continues to be positive on its strategy in the various business lines

Banking costs are expected to decrease in 2005

There are no signs of any substantial decline in credit quality or in underwriting performance, non-life

The interest rate and stock market environments remain factors of uncertainty

KBC has already set a mid-term objective of >10% CAGR EPS growth

On the basis of the solid 1H 05 earnings and the prevailing view regarding the relevant economic and financial parameters, KBC’s 2005 net profit is expected to exceed the10% growth level, amounting to more than 2 bn euros
