Raiffeisen beats consensus on lower costs and impairments

Key message: Raiffeisen beat market consensus on ex-Russia profit, delivering EUR
416m versus EUR 325m consensus, driven mainly by lower operating costs, lower
Polish FX-related expenses, and lower loan-loss impairments, partly offset by
significantly weaker other operating income. The lower cost base and reduced
impairments point to efficiency improvements and a healthier-than-expected credit
environment, reflected in low default levels. Raiffeisen proposed a EUR 1.60 dividend,
slightly above consensus on the back of stronger results, with the payout ratio
remaining in line. 2026 guidance is broadly in line with market expectations.
