Despite the challenging operating conditions and lingering e ff ects of Covid - 19, we performed well. “The rapid changes of the past year underscore the importance of having clear strategic priorities and being able to adapt to changing circumstances. Our focus is on making the di ff erence for people and the planet by providing a superior customer experience and putting sustainability at the heart of what we do. “We continued to execute on our strategy and delivered strong results, as well as made signi fi cant progress in a number of areas, including providing seamless digital services using our strong scalable tech and operations foundations. An example of this is our onboarding process in the Netherlands, where 52% of new customers were digitally onboarded in the fourth quarter of 2022, up from 39% in the same quarter of 2021. This is really strong proof of how we’re digitalising our sales and service model in one of our Market Leaders countries. The year 2022 closed with impressive growth in the number of global mobile payments transactions, reaching a remarkable amount of 1.4 billion transactions, up more than 60% year - on - year. “Regarding our fi nancial performance, we managed to limit expense growth despite the impact of higher salary expenses and higher marketing expenses to invest in the growth of our customer base. In various countries, we supported our employees with allowances to help them cover their increased energy costs. “The positive developments in our net promoter scores prove that customers value our services. We’re now number one in six of our 10 retail markets. In Wholesale Banking too we see a growing appreciation among clients, with our net promoter score improving to 67 at year - end 2022, up from 59 at year - end 2021 and well above the industry benchmark. I’m particularly proud that even more customers are choosing ING as their primary bank. During this quarter, our primary customer base grew by 218,000, mainly in the Challenger & Growth markets. On a full - year basis, we gained 585,000 primary customers, bringing the total number to 14.6 million, which is 4% higher than year - end 2021. “We also made further progress on our sustainability goals during 2022. Wholesale Banking continues to be a sustainability pioneer in helping clients transition to a more sustainable way of doing business, achieving a volume of over €100 billion in sustainable fi nance mobilised by end - 2022. That puts us well on our way towards our goal of €125 billion annually by 2025. “Despite continued uncertainty in the current operating environment, I’m con fi dent in our ability to perform well in these circumstances. We have a good capital position, a growing customer base, a diversi fi ed income stream, a strong funding structure as well as one of the best credit ratings in the eurozone. We’ll continue to invest to provide our customers with a superior experience, helped by our technology foundations, and to facilitate the transition to a low - carbon economy. “I want to thank our customers for their ongoing loyalty to ING and our colleagues worldwide for their hard work under challenging circumstances, which contributed to our strong performance throughout the whole year. Also a thank you to our shareholders for continuing to support our strategy.” Press release ING Corporate Communications Amsterdam, 2 February 2023
Business Highlights Primary customers 14.6 mln +585,000 in 2022 Mobile - only customers 58% in % of total active customers vs 51% at 4Q2021 Net result €1,089 mln +15% vs 4Q2021 Fee income €888 mln - 4% vs 4Q2021 CET1 ratio 14.5% - 0.2% vs 3Q2022 Return on equity (4 - qtr rolling avg) 7.2% - 2.0% vs 4Q2021 ING continues to invest in giving customers a superior digital experience. In Belgium, ING launched a completely digital motorbike and moped insurance. Customers can calculate the premium, purchase the policy and make claims digitally. ING is the only bank in Belgium to o ff er a completely digital experience in this area. ING in Turkey integrated personal online advice in their pension contract sales process. Via a video call, customers can get more information about the pension funds, and fi nal approval of the contract is provided by SMS. ING is the fi rst bank in Turkey to provide this service in a fully digital way. In the Netherlands, 97% of customer interactions now take place via the app, showing our customers’ clear preference for digital interactions. One of the most complex processes in the retail bank is the settlement of an inheritance. In the fourth quarter, the fi rst customers in the Netherlands were able to manage their inheritance process fully digitally via the mobile channel. In Wholesale Banking, we were one of six underwriters in a fi nancing transaction for Porsche SE related to Porsche AG’s IPO. It was Germany’s second largest IPO ever, and supported our client in further strengthening its portfolio of investments. During 2022, our net promoter scores (NPS) improved in both Retail and Wholesale Banking, indicating our customers have a high level of satisfaction with our service. We’re now number one in six of our 10 retail markets. Within Wholesale Banking we achieved an all - time high NPS of 67 at year - end 2022, up from 59 at year - end 2021. Customer experience NPS score: Ranked #1 in 6 of 10 Retail markets Primary customers: +218,000 in 4Q2022 and +585,000 in 2022 We aim to put sustainability at the heart of what we do. We continue to facilitate the transition to a low - carbon economy and support our clients in their transition. In 4Q2022 we closed several deals, the largest one being $6 billion for Champlain Hudson Power Express. ING was mandated as the sole green loan coordinator on the transaction, which will fi nance the construction of a 339 - mile renewable power transmission line. The line will carry clean power from Canada to New York City, helping New York state reach its 2030’s renewable energy targets. Since April 2017, when we launched the world’s fi rst sustainability - linked loan (SLL) for Philips, we’ve provided SLLs to numerous companies across a wide range of sectors and regions. In the fourth quarter, ING closed an SLL for global container leasing company UES, which helped UES get its fi rst ESG rating. ING Lease in Poland closed the country’s fi rst - ever sustainability - linked lease transaction together with one of Poland’s biggest retailers. The interest rate of this lease contract is linked to the ESG performance of the client. This transaction is helping our client to realise its sustainability goals. Financial health is an important part of our sustainability approach. As a founding signatory of the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) Principles for Responsible Banking, we also signed the Commitment to Financial Health & Inclusion (December 2021). We’ve co - led a group of banks in developing a common set of indicators around fi nancial health and fi nancial inclusion of customers, which were announced in October 2022. The indicators are a fi rst step in a systemic approach to improving in this area by allowing a common language for banks to measure, set targets, track progress and collaborate. Financial health is becoming increasingly important in these times as the energy crisis and in fl ation put additional strain on customers.

Net core deposits growth represents customer deposits adjusted for currency impacts, Treasury and run - o ff portfolios. Total income Total income in 4Q2022 was strong at €4,868 million. This included a net TLTRO impact of € - 315 million, re fl ecting the net negative impact of unwinding our TLTRO - related derivative position (as a result of ECB's decision to change the conditions for the TLTRO programme) and the remaining TLTRO bene fi t until 23 November 2022. The bene fi t from the TLTRO III programme was €84 million in 4Q2021 and €71 million in 3Q2022. Excluding this net TLTRO impact, total 4Q2022 income was €5,183 million, supported by considerably higher net interest income on liabilities. Net interest income in this quarter bene fi ted from strongly improved liability margins. Year - on - year, net interest income was also supported by higher interest results from FX ratio hedging, re fl ecting higher interest rate di ff erentials, mainly on the US dollar and Polish zloty. Net interest income from mortgages declined, re fl ecting higher funding costs and a lower level of income from prepayment penalties. Interest income from other lending decreased, as higher average volumes could not fully compensate for lower margins. Sequentially, when excluding both the net TLTRO impact and the € - 343 million Polish mortgage moratorium impact that was recorded in the previous quarter, net interest income increased by €256 million, mainly driven by higher interest margins on liabilities. The net interest margin was 1.36% in 4Q2022. Excluding the net TLTRO impact, it was 1.48%. On a comparable basis, and when also excluding the impact of the Polish mortgage moratorium, the net interest margin improved by 9 basis points quarter - on - quarter and 14 basis points year - on - year. - 1,000 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 Net interest income (in € million) and net interest margin (in %) 3,333 3,389 4Q2021 1Q2022 2Q2022 3Q2022 4Q2022 3,604 - 343 Net interest income excl.

Consolidated Results Net core lending growth – which excludes FX impacts and movements in Treasury lending as well as in the run - o ff portfolios – was €3.1 billion in 4Q2022. Net core lending growth in Retail Banking was €2.2 billion and consisted of €1.4 billion of growth in residential mortgages (primarily in Germany and Belgium) and €0.8 billion in other retail lending. Wholesale Banking recorded a net core lending growth of €0.9 billion. On a full - year basis, net core lending grew by €18.2 billion in 2022, of which €11.2 billion was in residential mortgages. Net core deposits growth – which excludes FX impacts and movements in Treasury deposits as well as in the run - o ff portfolios – was €7.2 billion in 4Q2022. The growth in Retail Banking amounted to €10.4 billion, mainly re fl ecting an in fl ow from private individuals in Germany, the Netherlands and Spain. Net core deposits growth in Wholesale Banking was € - 3 . 2 billion, mainly due to seasonal out fl ow . For the full year 2022 , net core deposits growth totalled € 25 . 1 billion, of which more than half was attributable to Retail Netherlands . Net fee and commission income amounted to €888 million. In Retail Banking, the growth in daily banking fees, driven by higher fees for payment packages and new service fees, was more than o ff set by lower fees on investment products, re fl ecting low stock markets and subdued trading activity. In Wholesale Banking, high fee income in Lending from several large deals could not fully compensate for the impact of adverse market conditions in Global Capital Markets, Corporate Finance and Trade & Commodity Finance. Sequentially, Wholesale Banking fee income bene fi ted from a higher deal fl ow in both Lending and in Corporate Finance. On a full - year basis, net fee and commission income rose by 2.0%, as the growth in daily banking and Wholesale Banking Lending was partly o ff set by a decline in fees on investment products (from a record year in 2021) and in Global Capital Markets. Investment income was fl at year - on - year at €15 million and lower sequentially, as 3Q2022 had included a €111 million annual dividend from our stake in the Bank of Beijing. Other income was €420 million and included a €67 million gain from a legacy entity in Retail Belgium and a fi nal payment of €14 million from the transfer of our investment business in France to Boursorama. In 4Q2021, other income had included a €28 million gain on an investment in an associate. The third quarter of 2022 included a € - 288 million impact for the unwinding of a macro fair value hedge of deposits in Belgium, which was only partly o ff set by €100 million of income from the transfer of our investment business in France to Boursorama. Excluding the aforementioned items, other income improved year - on - year as higher trading results in Financial Markets were partly o ff set by lower other income in Group Treasury. Sequentially, other income increased, driven by Group Treasury. Operating expenses Total operating expenses were € 2 , 888 million and declined by 2 . 0 % compared with 4 Q 2021 , re fl ecting lower regulatory and incidental cost items . Expenses excluding regulatory costs and incidental items were €2,515 million and rose 5.0% year - on - year. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sta ff costs, due to CLA increases and indexation, and a small increase in FTEs. Furthermore, marketing costs increased, particularly in the Challenger and Growth markets, to invest in further growth of our customer base. Compared with 3Q2022, cost growth excluding regulatory costs and incidental items was 2.7%. This was mainly due to higher sta ff and marketing costs, and €15 million of impairments in Wholesale Banking. 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 Operating expenses (in € million) 2,296 649 159 214 2,365 2,448 96 2,515 82 291 2,396 4Q2021 1Q2022 2Q2022 3Q2022 4Q2022 Expenses excl. regulatory costs and incidental items Regulatory costs Incidental items 166 385 ING Press Release 4Q2022 4 85 Operating expenses in 4Q2022 included €82 million of incidental items, consisting of €30 million of allowances to employees to help cover their increased energy costs, €43 million of restructuring costs and €9 million of hyperin fl ation accounting impacts on expenses in Turkey (due to accounting requirements of IAS 29). By comparison, 4Q2021 had included €166 million of incidental items, of which €141 million was for redundancy provisions and impairments related to our exit from the French retail banking market. In 3Q2022, incidental items amounted to €85 million, of which €75 million was for adding the interest - on - interest e ff ect to the compensation of customers for certain Dutch consumer credit products and €10 million for the hyperin fl ation impact in Turkey. Regulatory costs in 4Q2022 were €291 million and included the annual Dutch bank tax, which is always fully recorded in the fourth quarter. Compared with 4Q2021, regulatory costs were lower, as in that quarter a 50% add - on to the tari ff of the Dutch bank tax had been applied.
Consolidated Results Addition to loan loss provisions Net additions to loan loss provisions amounted to €269 million, or 17 basis points of average customer lending. This included €407 million of risk costs in Stage 3, mainly related to individual risk costs. This re fl ected additions for a limited number of unrelated fi les in Wholesale Banking that were newly provisioned, while fi les with an existing provision showed a limited release on a net basis. Total Stage 1 and 2 risk costs (including o ff - balance - sheet provisioning and modi fi cations) were € - 137 million. This included a €112 million release of Stage 2 provisions for our Russian portfolio, partly re fl ecting a further decrease in our Russia - related exposure. Management overlays were lowered by €46 million, primarily in Wholesale Banking, driven by a reduction in the overlay for second - order impacts. The update of the macroeconomic indicators resulted in a net addition of €20 million to the collective provisions. - 500 0 500 1,000 Addition to loan loss provisions (in € million) 403 269 987 4Q2021 1Q2022 2Q2022 3Q2022 4Q2022 Stage 3 (lhs) S2a%# 9 A ',!*3"',% - oR a*a,!#R1&##2 I*&1K R'1) ! - 121 ', .1 - $ a4#0a%# !312 - +#0 *#,"',% Ia,,3a*'1#"K I0&1K 346 62 17 22 25 202 13 - 50 0 50 100 Net result ING’s net result in 4Q2022 was €1,089 million, up 15.2% on 4Q2021, re fl ecting higher income and lower risk costs, which more than compensated for a higher e ff ective tax rate. The e ff ective tax rate in 4Q2022 was 33.6% compared with 26.4% in 4Q2021 and 30.9% in 3Q2022. The full - year e ff ective tax rate came out at 31.4%, up from 27.7% in 2021. The increase was mainly caused by the impact in 2022 of the following non - deductible items for corporate income tax purposes: hyperin fl ation accounting loss in Turkey, impairments on TTB and interest expenses in various countries.

The lower net result was mainly due to higher risk costs, re fl ecting additions related to our Russian portfolio and for the risks of secondary impacts in 2022, while the previous year had included signi fi cant releases from Covid - 19 related overlays. ING Press Release 4Q2022 5 ING’s return on equity is calculated using IFRS - EU shareholders' equity after excluding 'reserved pro fi t not included in CET1 capital', which amounted to €1,411 million as per the end of 2022. This re fl ects 50% of the resilient net pro fi t in 2022, which has been reserved for distribution in line with our policy, minus the 2022 interim dividend paid in August 2022. Resilient net pro fi t is de fi ned as net pro fi t adjusted for signi fi cant items that are not linked to the normal course of business. In line with this de fi nition, the combined impact of hyperin fl ation accounting and the impairment on the goodwill allocated to Turkey (recorded in 2Q2022) has been excluded. Therefore, resilient net pro fi t was €34 million higher than net pro fi t in 4Q2022 and €363 million higher on a full - year basis. Dividend In line with our dividend policy, the Board proposes to pay a fi nal dividend over 2022 of €1.4 billion, subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting on 24 April 2023. The proposed fi nal 2022 dividend amounts to €0.389 per ordinary share and will be paid in cash shortly after approval by the Annual General Meeting. An interim dividend of €0.17 per ordinary share for year 2022 was paid in August 2022. Additionally, €0.082 per ordinary share was paid in cash on 16 January 2023, being the remainder of the total share buyback amount as announced on 3 November 2022.
Consolidated Balance Sheet Balance sheet Compared with September 2022, ING’s balance sheet decreased by €90.5 billion to €968.3 billion, including the impact of an early repayment of €29.5 billion of ING's TLTRO III participation and €13.6 billion of negative currency impacts that were mainly driven by the depreciation of the US dollar against the euro. The decrease on the asset side of the balance sheet was mainly visible in cash and balances with central banks and in fi nancial assets at fair value through pro fi t or loss. Customer lending decreased by €7.7 billion, including €8.3 billion of negative currency impacts. These decreases were partly o ff set by higher loans and advances to banks, largely due to increased reverse repos. On the liability side of the balance sheet, the main decreases were recorded in deposits from banks (including the €29.5 billion early partial repayment of ING’s TLTRO III participation), fi nancial liabilities at fair value through pro fi t or loss, and customer deposits. These decreases were partly o ff set by deposit growth in Retail Banking, primarily in the Netherlands, Germany and Poland, and a higher amount of debt securities in issue consisting mainly of increased CD/CPs. Compared with year - end 2021, ING’s balance sheet grew by €17.0 billion, including €4.1 billion of positive currency impacts driven primarily by the appreciation of the US dollar against the euro in 2022. Balance sheet growth was mainly recorded in loans and advances to banks, fi nancial assets at fair value through pro fi t or loss, customer lending, and in other assets ( fi nancial transactions pending settlement) . This was partly o ff set by a decline in cash and balances with central banks . On the liability side of the balance sheet, the main increases were in customer deposits (re fl ecting strong growth in Retail Banking Netherlands and despite the discontinuation of Retail Banking France), fi nancial liabilities at fair value through pro fi t or loss, and debt securities in issue (increases in both CD/ CPs and other, mainly long - term, debt securities in issue). These increases were partly o ff set by lower deposits from banks following the €29.5 billion repayment of ING’s TLTRO III participation in December 2022. After this partial repayment, an amount of €36.0 billion TLTRO III funding remains.

ING Press Release 4Q2022 7 Consolidated Balance Sheet Shareholders’ equity decreased by €4,010 million in 2022, primarily re fl ecting €4,936 million of capital distribution. That consisted of €3,349 million of cash dividends paid (€1,545 million of fi nal dividend over 2021, a €634 million interim dividend payment over 2022 and €1,171 million additional cash payments) and €1,587 million of share buybacks (recorded as a change in treasury shares). Higher interest rates led to a €2,901 million decline in the cash fl ow hedge reserve. These decreases were largely o ff set by the €3,674 million net result recorded for full - year 2022 and €1,088 million of positive exchange rate di ff erences. Shareholders’ equity per share decreased to €13.79 on 31 December 2022 from €14.28 on 31 December 2021.

During the quarter, the CET1 ratio strengthened again, to end at 14.5%. The inclusion of €0.5 billion of interim pro fi ts and lower RWA more than o ff set the impact of lower FX reserves (€ - 0.8 billion). The decrease in both the Tier 1 ratio and the Total capital ratio mirrors trends in the CET 1 ratio and was furthermore a ff ected by the depreciation of the US dollar . The leverage ratio increased as the lower Tier 1 Capital was more than o ff set by the lower leverage exposure. Risk - weighted assets (RWA) The decrease in total RWA mainly re fl ects the FX impact on credit RWA. ING Group: Composition of RWA ING Press Release 4Q2022 8 in € billion 31 Dec. 2022 30 Sep. 2022 Credit RWA 282.6 291.8 Operational RWA 35.0 32.7 Market RWA 13.9 14.0 Total RWA 331.5 338.6 The FX impact on credit RWA was € - 5.7 billion and was mainly caused by the depreciation of the US dollar against the euro. Excluding currency impacts, credit RWA decreased by €3.6 billion, mainly due to a better overall pro fi le of the loan book (€ - 3.1 billion) and model updates (€ - 2.0 billion). The decreases were partly o ff set by higher lending volumes (€2.4 billion), which were mainly visible in Wholesale Banking. The increase in operational RWA was € 2 . 3 billion and included regular updates of the AMA model, among others for external loss data . Market RWA decreased by € 0 . 1 billion . Distribution In line with our distribution policy of a 50% pay - out ratio on resilient net pro fi t, the Board proposes to pay a fi nal cash dividend over 2022 of €0.389 per share. This is subject to the approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in April 2023. ING has reserved €562 million of the 4Q2022 net pro fi t for distribution. The resilient net pro fi t in 4Q2022 (which is de fi ned as net pro fi t adjusted for signi fi cant items not linked to the normal course of business) was €1,123 million. This includes a positive adjustment to the reported net result of €34 million related to hyperin fl ation accounting according to IAS 29 in the consolidation of our subsidiary in Turkey. The additional distribution of €1.5 billion, as announced on 3 November 2022, was completed. A total number of 107.0 million ordinary shares had been repurchased by 28 December 2022, for a total amount of €1.2 billion, and the remaining amount was paid in cash (€0.082 per share) to shareholders on 16 January 2023. CET1 requirement ING targets a CET1 ratio of around 12.5%, which is comfortably above the prevailing CET1 ratio requirement (including bu ff er requirements) of 10.58% (3Q2022: 10.52%). ING’s fully loaded CET1 requirement increased to 10.98% (3Q2022: 10.96%). The increases in the countercyclical bu ff ers, as announced earlier by various macro prudential authorities, will phase in over the coming quarters. MREL and TLAC requirements Minimum Required Eligible Liabilities (MREL) and Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) requirements apply to ING Group at the consolidated level of the resolution group. The available MREL and TLAC capacity consists of own funds and senior debt instruments issued by ING Group.
Capital, Liquidity and Funding The intermediate MREL requirements are 27.39% of RWA and 5.97% of leverage exposure (LR). The MREL surplus based on RWA mirrors trends in the Total capital ratio and declined as the impact of the issuance of two senior debt instruments (total €2.25 billion) was more than o ff set by instruments that lost MREL eligibility (maturity <1 year). The MREL surplus based on LR mirrors trends in the leverage ratio.

Credit risk management Total credit outstandings decreased signi fi cantly in 4Q2022, resulting from a decrease in Wholesale Banking. This is mainly re fl ected in ‘Treasury & Other' and was related to TLTRO repayments and a decline in our cash and balances with central banks. Stage 2 outstandings decreased, mainly due to repayments and improvements in credit quality. The Stage 2 ratio rose marginally due to the sharp decline in total credit outstandings. Stage 3 outstandings and the Stage 3 ratio increased slightly. In 4Q2022, ING Group’s stock of provisions remained stable, as a decrease in Stage 2 provisions, driven by releases, was o ff set by an increase in Stage 1 and Stage 3 (individual fi les). The Stage 3 coverage ratio increased to 33.9% compared with 32.7% in the previous quarter. The loan portfolio consists predominantly of asset - based and secured loans, including residential mortgages, project - and asset - based fi nance, and real estate fi nance with generally low loan - to - value ratios.

Non - fi nancial risk As previously disclosed, after our September 2018 settlement with Dutch authorities concerning Anti - Money Laundering matters, and in the context of signi fi cantly increased attention to the prevention of fi nancial economic crime, ING has experienced heightened scrutiny by authorities in various countries. The interactions with such regulatory and judicial authorities have included, and can be expected to continue to include, onsite visits, information requests, investigations and other enquiries. Such interactions, as well as ING’s internal assessments in connection with its global enhancement programme, have in some cases resulted in satisfactory outcomes. Some have also resulted in, and may continue to result in, fi ndings or other conclusions which may require appropriate remedial actions by ING, or may have other consequences. We intend to continue to work in close cooperation with authorities as we work to improve our management of non - fi nancial risks. ING is also aware, including as a result of media reports, that other parties may, among other things, seek to commence legal proceedings against ING in connection with the subject matter of the settlement.

Retail Netherlands Net interest income excluding TLTRO was supported by a strong increase in liability margins and higher volumes. Year - on - year, this was more than o ff set by a decline in interest income from mortgages, re fl ecting the lengthening of the duration of the book and lower prepayment penalties, and from Treasury (o ff set in other income). Sequentially, interest income from mortgages stabilised. Fee income rose strongly compared with 4Q2021, mainly due to increases in payment package fees and new service fees for business banking. Sequentially, fee income declined, as the previous quarter had included seasonally higher travel - related payment fees. Other income increased on both comparable quarters, driven by higher Treasury - related income. Net core lending grew by €0.4 billion in 4Q2022, re fl ecting €0.3 billion of higher mortgage volumes and a €0.1 billion increase in business lending. Net core deposits growth was €2.9 billion. Expenses in both 3Q2022 and 4Q2021 included incidental items: €75 million for adding the interest - on - interest e ff ect to the compensation of customers for certain Dutch consumer credit products in 3Q2022 and €11 million of restructuring costs in 4Q2021. Expenses excluding regulatory costs and these incidental items increased slightly, both year - on - year and sequentially, mainly because of higher sta ff and marketing expenses. Regulatory costs declined slightly year - on - year, but increased from 3Q2022, re fl ecting the annual booking of the Dutch bank tax. Risk costs were € 28 million and included the impact of the update of the macroeconomic forecast and some releases from management overlays . Retail Belgium (including Luxembourg) Net interest income excluding TLTRO increased strongly year - on - year, as higher margins on liabilities more than compensated for mortgage margin compression due to higher funding costs, while interest income on other lending was fl at. Furthermore, 4Q2021 had included a € - 23 million reclassi fi cation from other income to net interest income. Compared with 3Q2022, interest income excluding TLTRO also increased, as the upward trend in liability margins more than o ff set a decline in interest income from lending. Fee income increased on both comparable quarters. Year - on - year, this was mainly attributable to higher daily banking fees. Sequentially, fee income was primarily supported by higher fees on investment products as stock markets recovered. Other income in 4Q2022 included a €67 million gain from a legacy entity, while 3Q2022 had included an impact of € - 247 million to unwind a macro fair value hedge. Net core lending rose by €1.7 billion compared with 3Q2022, consisting of €0.6 billion of growth in mortgages and a €1.1 billion increase in business lending. Net core deposits growth was €0.7 billion. Expenses excluding regulatory costs declined year - on - year, as the impact of automatic salary indexation was more than o ff set by FTE reductions and lower IT costs. Sequentially, expenses excluding regulatory costs increased slightly, mainly due to higher sta ff costs. Regulatory costs in 4Q2022 re fl ected the allocation of the annual Dutch bank tax. Risk costs were €22 million and included a reduction in management overlays.
Segment Reporting: Retail Banking Retail Germany (including Austria in 2021) Net interest income excluding TLTRO was boosted by signi fi cantly higher margins on liabilities. Year - on - year, interest income was still impacted by lending margin pressure, while mortgage margins improved sequentially. Fee income decreased versus both comparable quarters, primarily due to a lower number of brokerage trades in investment products and lower fees from mortgage brokerage, re fl ecting lower production volumes. Year - on - year, this was partly compensated by higher daily banking fees. In 4Q2021, investment income had included an €8 million reversal of a one - o ff loss related to the transfer of ING’s retail operations in Austria to bank99. Other income in 4Q2022 re fl ected lower Treasury - related income. Net core lending growth in 4Q2022 was €0.7 billion, of which €0.9 billion was in mortgages. Net core deposits grew by €3.3 billion following an increase of our deposit rate on 6 December 2022. Operating expenses in 4Q2022 included €10 million of incidental items for sta ff allowances and restructuring costs. Expenses excluding both regulatory costs and incidental items increased slightly quarter - on - quarter due to higher sta ff costs and marketing expenses to support customer growth. Year - on - year, the increase was o ff set by savings following the discontinuation of the Austrian retail banking activities. Regulatory costs decreased year - on - year, but were up sequentially, as 3Q2022 included an adjustment of the deposit guarantee contributions. Risk costs were €52 million in 4Q2022 and primarily related to consumer lending. Retail Other Challengers & Growth Markets Net interest income was supported by higher margins on liabilities, most notably in Australia and Spain following increases in central bank interest rates. This more than compensated for negative currency impacts and tighter lending margins. Net interest income in 3Q2022 included € - 343 million for the Polish mortgage moratorium. Fee income decreased year - on - year due to lower fees on investment products, re fl ecting low stock markets and subdued trading activity, and the impact of ING’s exit from the French retail market. Investment income in 3Q2022 included a €111 million annual dividend from our stake in the Bank of Beijing. Other income included €14 million of income from the fi nal settlement of the transfer of our investment business in France, for which €100 million was recorded in 3Q2022. Furthermore, 3Q2022 included €38 million of proceeds from the sale of a non - performing loan portfolio in Spain and a €15 million impairment on our equity stake in TTB. Net core lending decreased by €0.6 billion, mainly due to a decline in mortgages in Australia and Spain. Net core deposits growth was €3.4 billion, driven by net in fl ows in Spain and Poland. Expenses included €33 million of incidental items, which were mainly restructuring costs for France and Turkey. By comparison, 4Q2021 had included €155 million of incidental items that mainly consisted of impairments and restructuring provisions related to our exit from the French retail market. Expenses excluding regulatory costs and incidental items rose versus 4Q2021 due to in fl ationary pressure across Retail Challengers & Growth Markets: Consolidated pro fi t or loss account ING Press Release 4Q2022 12 In € million Retail Challengers & Growth Markets 4Q2022 4Q2021 3Q2022 Germany Other Challengers & Growth Markets 4Q2022 4Q2021 3Q2022 4Q2022 4Q2021 3Q2022 Profit or loss Net interest income - excl. net TLTRO impact 1,373 1,027 854 568 345 421 804 682 433 Net interest income - net TLTRO impact - 42 4 16 - 42 2 16 0 1 0 Net fee and commission income 214 269 230 89 125 99 124 144 131 Investment income 0 12 110 1 8 - 1 - 1 4 111 Other income 81 88 192 - 14 29 - 19 95 59 210 Total income 1,626 1,400 1,401 603 510 516 1,023 890 885 Expenses excl. regulatory costs 845 926 799 269 263 256 576 663 543 Regulatory costs 90 100 58 24 32 - 4 67 67 62 Operating expenses 935 1,026 857 293 296 253 642 730 605 Gross result 691 374 543 310 214 263 381 160 280 Addition to loan loss provisions 152 35 136 52 7 43 100 27 94 Result before tax 539 339 407 258 207 220 281 132 187 Profitability and efficiency Net core lending growth (in € billion) 0.1 4.4 1.4 0.7 2.2 1.7 - 0.6 2.2 - 0.3 Net core deposits growth (in € billion) 6.8 - 1.5 6.6 3.3 - 5.0 4.4 3.4 3.5 2.2 Cost/income ratio 57.5% 73.3% 61.2% 48.6% 58.0% 49.0% 62.8% 82.0% 68.3% Risk costs in bps of average customer lending 29 7 26 21 3 17 37 10 34 Return on equity based on 12.5% CET1 1) 16.1% 9.6% 13.1% 19.2% 15.2% 19.6% 14.1% 6.1% 9.2% Risk - weighted assets (end of period, in € billion) 78.2 77.8 77.5 29.8 29.4 29.7 48.4 48.4 47.8 1) After - tax return divided by average equity based on 12.5% of RWA (annualised).
ING Press Release 4Q2022 13 Segment Reporting: Retail Banking all markets, as well as investments in operational process improvements in Australia and €10 million of legal claims in 4Q2022. Sequentially, higher expenses mainly re fl ected the impact of increased marketing expenses to support customer growth combined with higher sta ff costs. 3Q2022 included a litigation provision of €21 million recorded in Spain. Risk costs were €100 million. They were primarily attributable to net additions in Poland and Italy, and related to management overlays to re fl ect the risks from secondary impacts of the deteriorated macroeconomic outlook combined with model updates.
Segment Reporting: Wholesale Banking Net interest income excluding TLTRO rose year - on - year, mainly driven by increased margins in Payments and Cash Management (PCM), which bene fi ted from higher interest rates. Sequentially, interest income decreased, primarily in Financial Markets and Treasury. Fee income was stable year - on - year, as higher fees in Lending largely compensated for lower deal fl ow in Global Capital Markets (GCM), Corporate Finance and Trade & Commodity Finance (TCF). Sequentially, fee income was supported by strong fee income in Lending and an increased deal fl ow in Corporate Finance, while deal fl ow in TCF was lower. Other income increased year - on - year, supported by higher trading income in Financial Markets. This was partly o ff set by negative fair value adjustments and secondary sales discounts in Lending. 4Q2021 had included a €28 million gain on an investment in an associate. Sequentially, other income increased mainly in Treasury (partly due to the € - 41 million hedge accounting impact recorded in 3Q2022) and in Financial Markets, while Lending was impacted by the aforementioned valuation adjustments recorded in 4Q2022. Net core lending rose by €0.9 billion in 4Q2022, driven by Lending and Working Capital Solutions, and was only partly o ff set by Trade & Commodity Finance (re fl ecting lower commodity prices). Net core deposits decreased by €3.2 billion in the fourth quarter, mainly due to seasonal out fl ow. Expenses excluding regulatory costs increased versus both comparable quarters, partly due to €10 million of incidental items (mainly restructuring costs), €15 million of impairments and FX impacts re fl ecting the weakening of the euro relative to other currencies year - on - year. The remaining increase was mainly attributable to higher sta ff costs (due to CLA increases and indexation). Net additions to loan loss provisions amounted to €65 million, which is equivalent to 13 basis points of average customer lending. Risk costs in 4Q2022 predominantly re fl ected Stage 3 individual risk costs; these were attributable to newly provisioned fi les and were partly o ff set by releases from fi les with existing provisions. Net releases in Stage 2 were driven by a €112 million release of provisions for our Russian portfolio, partly re fl ecting a further decrease in our Russia - related exposure. They also included a reduction in the overlay for second - order impacts. Lending income decreased both year - on - year and sequentially, fully due to negative fair value adjustments and secondary sales discounts recorded in 4Q2022. The business remained strong, with an increase in volumes and signi fi cantly higher fee income from several sectors, while net interest income remained stable.

ING Press Release 4Q2022 15 Segment Reporting: Wholesale Banking Income from Daily Banking & Trade Finance increased both year - on - year and sequentially, predominantly driven by higher PCM income, which bene fi ted from increased interest rates and higher volumes. This more than compensated for lower fee income, mainly in TCF, and lower other income. Income for Financial Markets increased year - on - year, supported by higher trading results, especially in Money Markets, Non - Linear Trading and Global Securities Finance. This was partly o ff set by lower commission income from GCM, re fl ecting a slowdown of the market. Sequentially, income increased slightly, mainly because of positive valuation adjustments. The quarterly income of Treasury & Other declined year - on - year, as 4Q2022 included a € - 77 million net TLTRO III impact, while 4Q2021 had included positive fair value adjustments in Corporate Investments (including a €28 million gain on a capital stake) and a higher deal fl ow in Corporate Finance. Sequentially, income declined slightly, as the impact of a € - 102 million change in TLTRO bene fi t was largely compensated by higher income in Treasury and in Corporate Finance, while 3Q2022 included a € - 41 million hedge accounting impact to unwind a macro fair value hedge in Belgium.

ING Group N.V., as a non - hyperin fl ationary parent presenting its consolidated fi nancial statements in euro, did not restate comparative periods. Total income was supported year - on - year by higher results from foreign currency ratio hedging (mainly on the US dollar and Polish zloty). Compared with 3Q2022, total income rose by €42 million, including a €52 million higher TLTRO III bene fi t, which was partly o ff set by lower income from foreign currency ratio hedging. Operating expenses in 4Q2022 decreased sharply year - on - year, re fl ecting the temporary 50% increase in the Dutch bank tax of €87 million that had been recorded in Corporate Line in 4Q2021. Excluding these regulatory costs, expenses increased year - on - year, mainly due to €21 million for allowances to sta ff in the Netherlands to cover increased energy costs and a lower VAT refund. Sequentially, the increase in expenses was mainly attributable to the energy allowances, and was only partly o ff set by the VAT refund recorded in 4Q2022.
