Vienna, 8 February 2017. Today, Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI)
announced its preliminary results for the 2016 financial year. The CET1
ratio (fully loaded) at 31 December 2016 stood at 13.5%, above market
expectations and significantly above RBI's capital target.

The CET1 ratio (fully loaded) was 12.3% at 30 September 2016. The increase
in Q4 2016 was primarily due to the closing of the sale of the Polish
leasing business (approximately 30 basis points), a reduction in other
risk-weighted assets (approximately 15 basis points), foreign exchange
movements (approximately 20 basis points positive effect on fully loaded
CET1 capital), Q4 2016 profit after tax of around EUR 99 million
(approximately 17 basis points) and recognition of Q3 2016 profit after tax
of EUR 213 million in the year-end capital ratios (approximately 35 basis
points). Q3 2016 profit was not yet recognized in the 30 September 2016
capital ratios due to regulatory requirements.
