Impairment losses on financial assets (risk costs) in 2018 are expected to be around the 2017 level. We anticipate that the NPL ratio will further reduce in the medium term. We aim to achieve a cost/income ratio of below 55 per cent in the medium term. We target a consolidated return on equity of approximately 11 per cent in the medium term. We target a CET1 ratio (fully loaded) of around 13 per cent post dividend in the medium term. Based on this target, we intend to distribute between 20 and 50 per cent (dividend payout ratio) of the consolidated profit. The targets in this outlook include the impact from IFRS 9 and FINREP; the sale of the core banking operations in Poland is not reflected. For further information please contact: Susanne E.
