• This buffer comes on top of our ‘Own CapitalTarget’ and all together forms the ‘ReferenceCapital Position’
• Any M&A opportunity will be assessed subject tovery strict financial and strategic criteria

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.

slightly increased q-o-q and rose by 5% y-o-y• The small q-o-q decrease was driven primarily by:
o lower netted positive impact of ALM FX swapso lower reinvestment yieldso more pressure on commercial loan margins in most core
countriespartly offset by:o lower funding costs (due mainly to the call of the CoCo)o continued good loan volume growtho small additional positive impact of both short- & long-term
interest rate increases in the Czech Republico 1 day extra
Net interest margin (2.00%)• Down by 1 bp q-o-q due mainly to a slight increase in interest-
bearing assets• Up by 4 bps y-o-y thanks to lower funding costs and the

Lower FV gains, higher other net income
The lower q-o-q figures for net gains fromfinancial instruments at fair value wereattributable mainly to:• a negative change in market, credit and funding value
adjustments (mainly as a result of changes in theunderlying market value of the derivative portfolio)
• lower dealing room income
Other net income amounted to 71m EUR,higher than the normal run rate of around 50mEUR due to the settlement of an old legal file inBelgium and the sale of a building in Hungary

Operating expenses down due entirely to lower bank taxes, good cost/income ratio
Cost/income ratio (banking) adjusted for specificitems* at 58% in 2Q18 and 56% YTD• Operating expenses excluding bank tax went up by 2%
q-o-q due mainly to:o seasonal effects such as traditionally lower ICT,
marketing and professional fee expenses in 1Q18o higher staff expenses in Belgium and the Czech
Republic (mostly due to wage inflation)
• Operating expenses without bank tax increased by 6%y-o-y due chiefly to the consolidation of UBB/Interlease,higher ICT costs, higher marketing expenses and higherdepreciation & amortisation costs (due to thecapitalisation of some projects)
• 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 y-o-y increase canmainly be explained by the consolidation of UBB

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 39m EUR(compared with 43m in 1Q18)
o also small net loan loss impairment reversals in the CzechRepublic, Hungary, Bulgaria and Group Centre
partly offset byo additional loan loss impairments of 26m EUR in Belgium on
corporate files
• Impairment of 20m on ‘other’, of which:o 13m EUR in the Czech Republic mostly resulting from a
review of residual values of financial car leases under short-term contracts
o 6m EUR in Bulgaria mainly on a legacy property file
The credit cost ratio amounted to -0.10% in 1H18 due tolow gross impairments and several releases
The impaired loans ratio improved to 5.5%, 3.2% ofwhich over 90 days past due

Solvency II ratio* 218% 219%
The increase (+1%-point) in the Solvency II ratiowas mainly the result of lower risk on theinvestment portfolio, partly offset by an increase intechnical provisions (due to a slight decrease ininterest rates)
* 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

with a significant portion of the funding attracted from core customer segments & markets Customer funding further increased in 1H18 (versus FY17). The elevated amount in short-term wholesale funding is
mainly 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 31-12-2016 SRB requires KBC to achieve this target by 1 May 2019, using both HoldCo and eligible OpCo instruments

Economicoutlook
Group guidance
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 recuperatedin roughly 3 years’ time
B4 impact for KBC Group estimated at roughly 8bn EUR higher RWA on fully loaded basisat year-end 2017, corresponding with 9% RWA inflation and -1.3% impact on CET1 ratio
Referring to our dividend policy, KBC will pay an interim dividend of 1 EUR per share inNovember 2018, as an advance payment on the total dividend. The pay-out ratio policy(i.e. dividend + AT1 coupon) of at least 50% of consolidated profit is reconfirmed
Next to Belgium and Czech Republic, the International Markets Business Unit has becomea strong net result contributor, thanks to: Ireland: re-positioning as a core country with a sustainable profit contribution Bulgaria: merger of CIBank into UBB. The new group UBB has become the largest
bank-insurance group in Bulgaria with a substantial increase in profit contribution Sustainable profit contribution of Hungary and Slovakia

Post-balance sheet event*: KBC Bank Ireland sells part of legacy loan portfolio
KBC Bank Ireland has been organically building down its legacy portfolio of non-performing loans in Ireland over the past few years. Today, KBC announces the sale of an important part of its non-performing loans
Background1
Scope and NPL ratio impact2● KBC Bank Ireland sells approximately 1.9bn EUR of its legacy outstanding loan portfolio:
● Non-performing corporate portfolio● Non-performing Irish Buy-to-Let mortgage portfolio● Performing & non-performing UK Buy-to-let mortgage portfolio
● This will lead to a roughly 11%-points reduction of the NPL ratio to approximately 25% pro forma at end 2Q18 (versus reported35.6% at end 2Q18)
• Based on 1Q18 figures, the transaction will result in a net P&L impact of +14m EUR (after transaction costs), a release of risk-weighted assets ofapproximately 0.4bn EUR, leading to an improvement of KBC Group’s CET1 ratio of 7bps. These figures might slightly change up until closing date,which is expected in 4Q18
• We maintain our impairment guidance for Ireland, namely a net release in a range of 100m-150m EUR for FY18
P&L and Capital impact
By selling all of the sub-portfolio’s currently in scope, KBC Bank Ireland would be able to:(i) Achieve a NPL ratio reduction of c. 11%-points and reach a NPL ratio of approximately 25% pro forma at end 2Q18(ii) De-risk Brexit implications from the sale of the UK BTL portfolio.(iii) Enhance focus on its core strategy ‘Digital First’ in retail banking & micro SME, as presented at our Investor Day mid-2017

The Irish economy in 1H18 was characterised bysignificant positive momentum in activity andemployment growth, FY18 GDP growth of 6% isenvisaged
The upswing in the Irish economy has progressivelystrengthened and this has been reflected in robust andbroadly based jobs growth. As a result, theunemployment rate has reduced to 5.1% mid-2018, thelowest rate since 2007
The positive performance of the Irish economy hastranslated into increased demand for housing and inspite of some increase in supply, residential propertyprices continue to rise significantly
Impaired loans have reduced in 2Q18 by 0.2bn EUR (-4%q-o-q) with impaired loan ratio at 35.6% at 2Q18
Net loan loss provision release of 39m EUR in 2Q18driven by the continued growth in the CSO House PriceIndex and improved non-performing portfolioperformance. This compares with a 43m EUR release in1Q18
Looking forward, we are maintaining our impairmentguidance for Ireland, namely a net release in a range of100m-150m EUR for FY18

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?

Shareholders equity

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

Cost/income ratio (banking) [operating expenses of the banking activities of the group] / [total income of the banking activities of the group]
Cost/income ratio adjusted for specific items
The numerator and denominator are adjusted for (exceptional) items which distort the P&L during a particular period in order to provide a better insight into the underlying business trends. Adjustments include: • MtM ALM derivatives (fully excluded)• bank taxes (including contributions to European Single Resolution Fund) are included pro rata and hence spread over all quarters of the year instead of
being recognised for the most part upfront (as required by IFRIC21)• one-off items
Credit cost ratio (CCR) [net changes in individual and portfolio-based impairment for credit risks] / [average outstanding loan portfolio]. Note that, inter alia, government bonds are not included in this formula
