institutional customers and the public sector.

Segment contribution to consolidated net income underlines the Helaba Group's well-balanced business model

Segment performance returns to pre-pandemic level

Net earnings from Corporates & Markets segment driven by valuation recoveries, higher margins and TLTRO premiums

Improved result in Other segment mainly due to lower level of general risk provisioning items not allocated to segments

Comfortable levels of capital ratios

Helaba is well capitalised and all regulatory requirements are

significantly exceeded:

□ CET1 ratio of 14.3 %

Changes in capital ratios compared to previous year mainly due to

stronger rise in RWAs in relation to equity base. Risk-weighted assets

amounted to € 63.8 bn (previous year: € 60.5 bn). This rise was partly

due to the effects of applying CRR II methodology

Includes management adjustment and an adjustment to risk provisioning in the Other segment

Overall reduction in risk provisioning

Substantial allocations to stage 2 provisions for portfolio risks already made in previous year, but maintained to a large extent in 2021

Investor Presentation The Helaba Group | March 202226

Helaba has been steadily reducing its exposure in Russia and Ukraine for many years. Last week, it suspended all new

business with Russia.

The net exposure in both countries together is currently in the low double-digit million range and mainly consists of

export and trade finance.

Helaba has already factored in the risks for its Russian exposure by setting aside a general loss provision in the annual

financial statements.

As a major provider of payment transactions, Helaba is working closely with relevant authorities to implement embargos

and sanctions. Implementing sanctions (blacklists) in the bank‘s technical systems is a well-established process.

At present, Helaba is analysing its portfolios with regard to possible second and third -round effects. This includes:

□ An analysis of the possible impact of the sanctions on Helaba's credit portfolio

□ An analysis of customer groups with strong business ties to Russia, Ukraine and neighbouring regions

□ A review of the bank's preparedness with respect to possible cyber-attacks

□ An analysis of potential consequences for Helaba's profitability

Helaba only has very low exposure to Russia and Ukraine

Investor Presentation The Helaba Group | March 202227

The Group's very encouraging performance in 2021 as a whole was also based on the consistently good quality of its

portfolio. The rise in stage 3 credit defaults was in line with expectations and is manageable. A management adjustment

of € 113 m accounts for more than half of risk provisioning in 2021.

Conditions in 2022 will remain challenging in view of continued uncertainty, especially due to the war in Ukraine, further

inflation developments, the future course of the pandemic and supply chain constraints. However, Helaba is actively

managing the risks associated with sectors affected by these factors and is in a position to react effectively to further

developments as they arise.

Provided that the economic recovery continues, we expect a reduced level of risk provisioning for 2022 as a whole. We

had already made ample provision for portfolio risks in 2020 and 2021.

Harness sustainability as an

Expansion of Sustainable Finance Advisory to support our

Range of our ESG products to be continuously expanded

Investor Presentation The Helaba Group | March 2022

Conditions for 2022 will be marked by numerous uncertainties in

the wake of the Ukraine conflict.

Overall, Helaba is only impacted directly to a very small extent.

New business with Russia has been suspended. The sanctions

imposed are being implemented.

We will continue to monitor and analyse further developments

very closely.

With its broadly diversified business model and the consistent

implementation of its strategic agenda, Helaba is well placed to

meet any challenges that may arise in 2022.

Helaba's earnings target for 2022 is in line with its medium-term

objectives. However, given the war in Ukraine and the current

very high level of uncertainty in respect of possible second and

third-round effects, we have decided not to issue a specific

earnings forecast.
