The objective of the merger is to simplify the corporate structure and to adapt the group to increasing regulatory requirements. As of now, no specific plans have been worked out yet. RBI's target of achieving a CET1 ratio of 12% by 2017 is maintained. It was moreover mentioned that this would be a downstream merger, i.e., the parent company (RZB) would be acquired by its subsidiary (RBI). The bank 2 detailed plans, resp. the advantages plans to release further information on and drawbacks of the merger, as it becomes available. RBI posted consolidated earnings of EUR 114 m. in Q1 2016, an increase of 37% compared to the previous year. The main reason for the rise in earnings was a 60% decline in loan loss provisions, though they are projected to increase again over the remainder of7 the financial year.

BIG posts solid 2015 annual result As was already evident in the half-year report, BIG had to report a slight decline in net earnings for FY 2015 (net profit -4% to EUR 402 m.), in spite of a moderate improvement in revenues (+6% to EUR 991 m.) and EBITDA 12 (+6% to EUR 623 m.). A once again “normalized” revaluation result has put an end to the positive trend in earnings that has been in place since 2012. This has however not stopped favorable cash flow performance from continuing. With nearly unchanged net debt of EUR 3.8 bn., all credit metrics could be improved. Around21 EUR 150 m. of the total volume of EUR 23 2.3 bn. in outstanding bonds is maturing in 2016, and in view of an ambitious residential construction program, fresh supply should be expected. While BIG is in the meantime issuing bonds without an explicit federal guarantee, its sovereign tasks as the federal government's real estate company are imbuing it with 27 an Aaa status such as that enjoyed by the Republic according to Moody's. České Dráhy: Moody's upgrade to Baa2 Following the release of the 2015 annual report and in view of the pending issue of an EUR-denominated bond, Moody's has reviewed its credit rating of České Dráhy (Baa2/ stable) and upgraded the Czech national railway company by one notch to Baa2.

May 2016 Topics of the Week Analyst: Carmen Riefler-Kowarsch [email protected] Simplification of corporate structure and regulatory requirements are the reason for the merger No specific plans have been worked out yet – a CET1 ratio of 12% in 2017 remains a target Downstream merger considered Integration of investments in the consolidation not yet clear RBI: Q1 Ergebnis und Ad Hoc Meldung zu RBI/RZB Merger Yesterday evening Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) has issued an ad-hoc release stating that the management boards of Raiffeisen Zentralbank Oesterreich (RZB) and RBI have come to a decision to evaluate a merger between the two institutions. The objective of the merger is to simplify the corporate structure and to adapt the group to increasing regulatory requirements. In the course of today's early presentation of the group's Q1 2016 results, statements on the planned merger were made as well. The board stresses in this context that there is merely the decision to pursue a merger at the current juncture, but no detailed plans or calculations have been made yet. These are to be worked out over the coming 6 months. The merger will likely be implemented in H1 2017. RBI's target of achieving a CET1 ratio of 12% by 2012 will be maintained. However, a reassessment is possible in the course of combining the groups. It was furthermore mentioned that this will be a downstream merger, i.e., the subsidiary RBI will acquire its parent company RZB. Apart from its function as the Raiffeisen sector's leading institution which fulfills management and services tasks, RZB also has the function of an investment holding company. Among its participatory interests are both bank-type and other corporate investments, of which a 31.5% stake in UNIQA Insurance Group is worth highlighting. At present the integration of these investments in the context of the consolidation remains unclear as well. The bank intends to release information on detailed plans, resp. the advantages and drawbacks of the merger as it becomes available. Selected data and key ratios (IFRS, in EUR m.)

May 2016 Q1 2016 consolidated earnings of EUR 114 m. Both net interest income as well as commission income decreased Decline of net interest margin to 2.73% CET1 ratio (fully loaded) unchanged at 11,5% RBI posted consolidated earnings of EUR 114 m. in Q1 2016, an increase of 37% compared to the previous year. The main reason for the increase in earnings was a 60% decline in loan loss provisions, although they are projected to increase again over the remainder of the financial year. In addition, a negative trading results was reported last year due to foreign currency positions in Ukraine and hedges on foreign currency dividends. Both net interest income (-12.4% to EUR 718 m.) and commission income (3.4% to EUR 347 m.) declined; the decline in net interest income was not only attributable to a reduction in lending volumes (-7%), but primarily also to a decrease in the net interest margin (by -20 bps to 2.73%). The trading result improved by EUR 90 m. to EUR 28 m. The increase is attributable to the strong devaluation of Ukraine's currency in the previous year. Rising administrative expenses were primarily due to contributions to the bank resolution fund (+EUR 35 m.), which according to IFRS regulations have to be recognized in the first quarter for the full FY 2016. This resulted in an increase in the cost-income ratio (CIR) to 65%. RBI continues to expect that its medium term objective of a CIR between 50% to 55% can be achieved (mainly by selling its Polish subsidiary). The CET1 ratio (fully loaded) could be maintained at an unchanged 11.5%. Erste Group Research – Credit Markets – Covered Bonds/Financials Page 3 Erste Group Research Credit Markets | Covered Bonds/Financials | Europe 11.

The consolidated 2015 result included revenue growth of +6% to EUR 991 m. and EBITDA growth of +6% to EUR 623 m., as a strong increase in costs for personnel (+8%) and materials (+11%) was absorbed quite well. The maintenance ratio was barely changed at 17.6%. The result was not only supported by a 3% increase in rental income to EUR 795 m., but also by higher proceeds from project development companies (EUR +16 m. to EUR 26 m.), resp. proceeds from rent concessions (EUR 12 m.). Net earnings -4% A return to a “normalized” revaluation result of EUR -7 m. after EUR +59 m. (2014) was primarily responsible for ending the positive trend in earnings growth that has been in place since 2012. EBIT of EUR 613 m. stood 4% below the 2014 figure. As expected, the financial result (EUR -111 m. after EUR -116 m.) benefited from the favorable interest rate environment, while the tax burden was little changed. Overall, net earnings declined slightly by 4% to EUR 402 m. The recommended dividend payment to the federal government as the 100% owner was raised from EUR 70 m. to EUR 104 m. Positive cash flow trends The trend in cash flows continued to be positive. Operating cash flow of EUR 471 m. stood significantly above the previous year's EUR 425 m., even if shifts in due dates for rental payments have repeatedly resulted in one-off effects and showed up as positive effects in cash flow from working capital (EUR +27 m. after EUR -21 m.). Investment of EUR 377 m. declined moderately though, affecting investment cash flows commensurately, which stood at EUR 310 m. after EUR 337 m. However, as a result of the residential construction initiative of group company Austrian Real Estate (ARE), we expect that significantly higher levels will be recorded in coming years again. Credit ratios improve across the board With net debt nearly unchanged at EUR 3.8 bn., all credit metrics could be improved further. Thus the ratio of net debt/ EBITDA has declined from 6.4x to 6.1x and loan-to-value from 32% to approx. 30%. Balance sheet ratios have strengthened further, with the equity ratio at 53% and gearing at 59%. The planned increase in investment activity will however cap further improvements in our view. Erste Group Research – Credit Markets – Covered Bonds/Financials Page 4 Erste Group Research Credit Markets | Covered Bonds/Financials | Europe 11. May 2016 Outlook: growth in residential construction Strong growth is planned in coming years, which is already visible in the increasing number of consolidated companies. In 2015 19 new companies were founded overall, the number of fully consolidated enterprises has risen from 24 to 35, that of companies accounted for at equity from 18 to 26. The main focus of the expansion will be subsidiary ARE, which currently manages EUR 2.3 bn. (fair value as of 31.12.2015) in real estate assets, mainly comprised of office, commercial and development properties. The from now on substantially intensified residential construction activities are pooled in ARE as well. Until 2020 a total of EUR 2.0 bn. is to be invested in residential construction, i.e. an average of around EUR 400 m. per year, for the erection of 6,000 rental apartments and 4,000 condominiums, in order to ease the tense situation in Austria's housing market. Currently around 78% of the group's real estate assets are still managed by the BIG parent group, particularly properties rented out to the federal government. The group's individual financial statement (UGB/ Austrian corporate code) showed revenue growth of 3% to EUR 760 m. in 2015 and an increase in net earnings by 14% to EUR 189 m. Primary market supply in the framework of an EMTN program The BIG Group currently finances the majority of its financial liabilities (EUR 3.8 bn. as of year-end 2015) through the capital markets via an EMTN program (private placements, bond issues) with a scope of EUR 4.0 bn. As of year-end 2015 around 55% were financed through bonds, 23% through bank loans and around 22% through the money markets (commercial paper). The remaining term to maturity of the group's bonds amounted to an average of 7.5 years, with 70% having fixed coupons. A total issuance volume of EUR 2.1 bn. is currently outstanding, including foreign currencydenominated bonds, 38% in CHF and 15% in JPY, all of which are fully hedged against foreign exchange risk. In 2016 the equivalent of EUR 150 m. is maturing, and in view of the ambitious residential construction investment program, fresh primary market supply has to be expected. While BIG is issuing bonds without an explicit federal guarantee, its sovereign tasks as the federal government's real estate company (mainly schools, universities, official buildings), which generate 95% of its revenues, are imbuing it with an Aaa status such as that enjoyed by the Republic according to Moody's.

May 2016 Analyst: Ralf Burchert, CEFA [email protected] “Provisional” Baa2 rating ahead of an EUR-denominated bond issue České Dráhy: Moody's upgrade to Baa2/stable Following the release of ČD's 2015 annual report (see also Erste Covered Bonds/ Financials Weekly of 04.05.2016) and in view of a pending EURdenominated bond issue, Moody's has reviewed its credit rating of České Dráhy (Baa2/ stable) and upgraded the Czech national railway company by one notch to Baa2 (“provisional”) with a stable outlook. The agency justifies the stronger rating by citing an improvement in the structural performance of the group's operating business, as well as its debt levels, which should remain stable over a two-year horizon. In addition, the liquidity position has improved, which is also aimed at the apparently imminent EUR-denominated bond issue. Rating history of České Dráhy Source: Moody´s, Erste Group Research Stronger baseline credit assessment The upgrade is in line with a stronger baseline credit assessment (BCA), which has been improved from ba3 to ba2. With respect to the trend in the adjusted debt/ EBITDA ratio, a target range of 4.5x to 5.0x is expected in the time period until 2018. Capital expenditure is estimated to be in a range of CZK 5 to 6 bn. (equivalent to approx. EUR 200 m.). Important arguments in favor of the baseline assessment are ČD's quasi-monopoly role as the national railway company, the importance of the passenger transport business, with the risk that long-term contracts with the Republic and the 14 regional authorities won't be extended after 2019 seen as small, as well as improvements at freight transport subsidiary ČD Cargo. The Czech Republic's A1 rating is supportive as well. The stable outlook for the rating has been maintained. The underlying assumptions are that operating trends will remain stable over the coming 18 to 24 months, and that it will be possible to renew most long term contracts. EUR 300 m. redemption in June The volume of EUR 800 m. in currently outstanding bonds (apart from private placements) by the two group companies ČD a.s. and the 100% subsidiary ČD Cargo has only relatively short remaining terms to maturity until 2018 and consists of three placements by ČD a.s. and two by ČD Cargo. Among the three redemptions coming due in 2016 is a EUR 300 m. bond maturing in June of 2016, which is supposed to be refinanced shortly.
