SustainabilityFirst green bond issuance

On 23 May 2018, the Climate Bonds Standard Board approved the certification of the proposed KBC Green Bond

Application was made on the basis of the proposed inaugural allocation, focused on renewable energy and green residential real-estate loans

Certification

Verification

One year after issuance and until maturity, a limited assurance report on the allocation of the Green Bond proceeds to Eligible Assets to be provided by an external auditor

To be published on KBC website

KBC GREEN PORTFOLIO APPROACH

Green Bond

portfolio Green Bond

funding

Inclusion of existing and new Green Assets

KBC will ensure the availability of sufficient Green Assets to match Green funding

Deletion of ineligible or amortising Green Assets

At a first stage, in the context of the inaugural Green Bond, KBC allocated theproceeds to two green asset categories: renewable energy and residential real-estate loans.

Within those categories, KBC has identified more than EUR 1.3 billion of GreenAssets within its private and corporate client business lines in Belgium.

For future transactions, in cooperation with the relevant business teams, KBCaims to capture more green assets from other categories and expand the greeneligibility to more business lines and clients.

Net interest income (1,136m EUR)• Up by 2% both q-o-q and y-o-y. Note that NII banking

increased by 2% q-o-q and by 5% y-o-y• The q-o-q increase was driven primarily by:

o additional positive impact of both short- & long-terminterest rate increases in the Czech Republic

o continued good loan volume growtho lower funding costspartly offset by:o lower netted positive impact of ALM FX swapso lower reinvestment yields in our eurozone core countrieso pressure on commercial loan margins in most core

countries

Net interest margin (1.98%)• Down by 2 bps q-o-q• Up by 2 bps y-o-y thanks to lower funding costs (due mainly to

the call of the CoCo) and the positive impact of repo rate hikesin the Czech Republic

Non-life sales up y-o-y, life sales down y-o-y

Sales of non-life insurance products• Up by 8% y-o-y thanks to a good commercial

performance in all major product lines in our coremarkets and tariff increases

Sales of life insurance products• Decreased by 10% q-o-q and by 5% y-o-y• The q-o-q decrease was primarily due to lower sales of

guaranteed interest products in Belgium• The y-o-y decrease was driven entirely by lower sales of

unit-linked products in Belgium• Sales of unit-linked products accounted for 40% of total

life insurance sales

Higher FV gains and other net income

The higher q-o-q figures for net gains fromfinancial instruments at fair value wereattributable mainly to:• a positive change in ALM derivatives• a positive change in market, credit and funding value

adjustments (mainly as a result of changes in theunderlying market value of the derivatives portfolioand decreased credit spreads)

partly offset by:• lower net result on equity instruments (insurance)• lower dealing room income, mainly in Belgium and

the Czech Republic

Other net income amounted to 56m EUR, moreor less in line with the normal run rate of around50m EUR. Note that 2Q18 was negativelyimpacted by the settlement of a legacy legal filein the Group Centre (-38m EUR), while 3Q17was negatively impacted by an additionalprovision of 54m EUR related to an industrywide review of the tracker rate mortgageproducts originated in Ireland before 2009

Operating expenses up, partly due to one-offs Cost/income ratio (banking) adjusted for specific

items* at 58% in 3Q18 and 57% YTD• Operating expenses excluding bank tax went up by 1%

q-o-q primarily as a result of:o higher staff expenses (mainly due to wage

inflation), except for Belgiumo higher ICT and marketing expenseso 14m EUR one-off costs:o 6m EUR expenses for early retirement in Belgiumo 5m EUR restructuring charges in CZo 3m EUR costs related to the sale of part of the

legacy loan portfolio in Irelandpartly offset by:o lower facilities expenses

• Operating expenses without bank tax increased by 7%y-o-y in 3Q18

• Excluding the consolidation impact of UBB/Interlease,bank tax, FX effect and one-off costs, operatingexpenses in 9M18 rose by roughly 3% y-o-y

• Pursuant to IFRIC 21, certain levies (such ascontributions to the European Single Resolution Fund)have to be recognised in advance, and this adverselyimpacted the results for 1Q18. The YTD increase canmainly be explained by the consolidation of UBB

• Total bank taxes (including ESRF contribution) areexpected to increase from 439m EUR in FY17 to 462mEUR in FY18

Net impairment releases, excellent credit cost ratio and improved impaired loans ratio

Very low asset impairments• This was attributable mainly to:

o net loan loss impairment releases in Ireland of 15m EUR(compared with 39m in 2Q18)

o also small net loan loss impairment reversals in Slovakia,Hungary, Bulgaria and Group Centre

partly offset by:o loan loss impairments of only 3m EUR in Belgiumo loan loss impairments of 12m EUR in the Czech Republic due

to 1 large corporate file

• Impairment of 6m on ‘other’, of which 4m EUR in the CzechRepublic mostly resulting from a review of residual values offinancial car leases under short-term contracts

The credit cost ratio amounted to -0.07% in 9M18 due tolow gross impairments and several releases

The impaired loans ratio stabilised at 5.5%*, 3.2% ofwhich over 90 days past due

The decrease (-3%-point) in the Solvency II ratiowas mainly the result of an increase in spreads andnet purchases in the equity portfolio

* On 19 April 2017, the NBB retroactively relaxed the strict cap on the loss-absorbing capacity of deferred taxes in the calculation of the required capital. Belgian insurancecompanies are now allowed to apply a higher adjustment for deferred taxes, in line with general European standards, if they pass the recoverability test. This is the case for KBC

Strong and growing customer funding base

KBC Bank continues to have a strong retail/mid-cap deposit base in its core markets – resulting in a stable funding mixwith a significant portion of the funding attracted from core customer segments & markets

Customer funding further increased in 9M18 (versus FY17). The elevated amount in short-term wholesale funding ismainly on the back of short-term arbitrage opportunities

The resolution plan for KBC is based on a Single Point of Entry (SPE) approach at KBC Group level Bail-in is identified as the preferred resolution tool SRB’s current approach to MREL is defined in the ‘2017 MREL Policy’ published on 20 December 2017, which is based on the current legal

framework and hence might be revised in the context of the ongoing legislative process to review BRRD The MREL target for KBC is 25.9%, which is based on fully loaded capital requirements as at 31 December 2016 SRB requires KBC to achieve this target by 1 May 2019, using both HoldCo and eligible OpCo instruments

Looking forward

European economic conditions remain attractive, although we believe that the growth peakis behind us. Persistently decreasing unemployment rates, with even growing labourshortages in some European economies, combined with gradually rising wage inflation willcontinue to support private consumption. Moreover, also investments will remain animportant growth driver. The main elements that could impede European economicsentiment and growth remain the risk of further economic de-globalisation, including anescalation of trade conflicts, the Brexit and political turmoil in Italy

Business units

Solid returns for all Business Units Loan impairments for Ireland towards a release in 100m-150m EUR range for FY18 Impact of the reform of the Belgian corporate income tax regime: recurring positive P&L

impact as of 2018 onwards and one-off negative impact in 4Q17 will be fully recuperated inroughly 3 years’ time

B4 impact for KBC Group estimated at roughly 8bn EUR higher RWA on fully loaded basis atyear-end 2017, corresponding with 9% RWA inflation and -1.3% points impact on CET1 ratio

Next to the Belgium and Czech Republic Business Units, the International Markets BusinessUnit has become a strong net result contributor, thanks to: Ireland: re-positioning as a core country with a sustainable profit contribution Bulgaria: merger of CIBank into UBB.

Robust improvements in Irish economic conditions continue toboost the demand for housing but with supply improving, therehas been a modest easing in the pace of residential propertyprice inflation of late

Impaired loans have reduced by 0.1bn EUR (-2% q-o-q) withimpaired loan ratio at 35.0% at 3Q18. On a pro-forma basisadjusting for the legacy portfolio sale announced as part of2Q18 results, the impaired loan ratio is 25.0%

Net loan loss provision release of 15m EUR in 3Q18 drivenmainly by strong CSO House Price Index growth. This compareswith a 39m EUR release in 2Q18

Annex 5 - Solvency detailsImplementation of the BRRD in Belgium

1. The BRRD has been transposed to a large extent by the Act of 25 April 2014 on the legalstatus and supervision of credit institutions ("The Banking Act") which applies sinceMay-2015, with the exception of some major provisions, such as the bail-in tool. Someprovisions will be further implemented by a Royal Decree (“RD”):

• Bail-in mechanism and MREL requirement of the BRRD: RD was published in theBelgian Official Journal 29 December 2015 and entries into force as from 1 January2016. However, the resolution strategy and MREL target for KBC are assumptionsand have not been determined by the Resolution Authority

• Group dimension of the BRRD: transposition is currently under preparation

2. The competent authorities are

• Supervision authority (KBC Bank NV, KBC Group NV): ECB/NBB.

• Resolution authority (KBC Bank NV, KBC Group NV): Single Resolution Board asfrom 1 January 2016.

• Competent authority for conduct supervision of financial institutions andintermediaries (KBC Bank NV): FSMA.

3. The hierarchy of claims in Belgium is in line with the BRRD as provided for in art. 48BRRD and applies losses accordingly.

• Creditors are protected by the No Creditor Worse Off (“NCWO”) principle whichensures that creditors in resolution can’t be worse-off than in normal insolvencyproceedings (art 34(1) BRRD).

4. KBC plans on on-lending senior unsecured issued out of KBC Group NV as subordinatedinstruments at KBC Bank NV to ensure the on-loan would only take losses after Tier 2securities.

• Additionally KBC Bank NV’s funding needs in senior unsecured are expected to bemoderate going forward

Annex 5 - Solvency details What are the risks for HoldCo senior investors?

71

Shareholders equity

AT1

Tier 2

Senior Unsecured

Recapitalisation scenario, losses (originating in any or in all of the underlying entities*) are lower than the size of the capital instruments at theHoldCo level part or all of Senior debt issued by the HoldCo can be converted into shares to recapitalise the HoldCo up to a minimum level as decided by

the competent authorities. The investor then has a combination of shares and bonds of the HoldCo instead of only bonds and thus (co-)ownsthe underlying entities. The conversion factor would be determined by the competent authorities applying the NCWO principle.

Loss absorption scenario, losses (originating in any or in all of the underlying entities*) exceed the size of the capital instruments at the HoldColevel part or all of Senior issued by the HoldCo can be bailed-in to absorb losses. The NCWO principle implies that losses are only up-streamed to

the HoldCo upto the amount of the investment of the HoldCo in the entity(ies) generating the losses. Hence, the investor in the HoldCoSenior will lose (up to) its investment to the extent that the amount of outstanding HoldCo senior debt exceeds the value of the remainingunderlying entities of the HoldCo
