The outlook was adapted to the changed environment and is summarized as
follows:

- In the context of expected overall economic developments, particularly in
CEE, we are aiming, with the inclusion of the acquisition of Polbank, for a
return on equity before tax of around 15 per cent in the medium term. This
is excluding future acquisitions, any capital increases, as well as
unexpected regulatory requirements from today's perspective.
- In 2012, we expect a stable business volume due to the economic
environment and restrictive regulatory requirements.
- Against the backdrop of a permanently changing regulatory environment and
further strengthening of our balance sheet structure we are continuously
evaluating the level and structure of our regulatory capital to be able to
act promptly and flexibly. Depending on market developments, a capital
increase also continues to be a possible option.
- Despite the cautious economic growth forecast, we expect to see a
stabilization of the net provisioning ratio along with only a marginal
increase in non-performing loan volumes. Due to current developments on the
economic and political fronts, it is not possible to accurately predict
when we will reach a turning point as far as non-performing loans are
concerned.
- In 2012, we expect higher bank levies than in the previous year. In
Austria and CEE this will presumably result in a negative earnings effect
of some EUR 160 mn (of which approximately EUR 100 mn in Austria, EUR 40 mn
in Hungary and EUR 20 mn in Slovakia).
- We plan to raise around EUR 4.6 bn in long-term wholesale funding
(maturity of more than one year) for the RBI Group in 2012. In the capital
markets we intend to raise EUR 2.1 bn in wholesale funding, of which around
EUR 1.3 bn had already been placed as of mid-March.
- We have implemented group-wide cost efficiency programs in order to
achieve a flat cost development.
