Our solid capital position, diversi fi ed funding pro fi le and sound risk management enabled us to continue supporting our customers and the broader economy . “During this quarter, marked by turbulent market conditions, clients continued to put their trust in us. This was evidenced by our stable and diversi fi ed deposit base, which grew by €1.3 billion in the quarter. Another key element for future value creation is increasing the number of primary customers, as this provides us with opportunities to deepen our client relationships. I’m pleased that our primary customer base grew by 106,000 to 14.7 million during this quarter, with a strong contribution from our franchise in Germany. “Financially, we bene fi ted from the current interest rate environment. Our income was 21 percent higher than a year ago, supported by improved margins on liabilities. Wholesale Banking had a particularly good quarter, with a strong income contribution from daily banking and good results in Financial Markets. Expenses increased on the back of salary raises and higher marketing expenses to support the growth of our business. Quarter - on - quarter, the in fl ationary e ff ects were less pronounced, but we will keep a close eye on expenses to stay competitive. Risk costs were modest, re fl ecting the quality of our loan book and including some releases from earlier provisions. “O ff ering customers a superior experience is a pillar of our ‘making the di ff erence’ strategy. An example of how we’re making our services more accessible is a voice functionality on our app in the Netherlands that allows visually impaired people to carry out mobile payments independently and safely. And in Germany the online identity card function is making onboarding faster and more convenient. Already used by up to 20 percent of new customers to identify themselves, it is scalable and e ffi cient due to its fully digital nature. In terms of key performance indicators, we retain a leading NPS position in fi ve of our 10 Retail markets, we rate above 4.5 stars in iOS and Android App stores in eight and fi ve countries respectively, and more than 72 percent of customer communications were personalised in the fi rst quarter. “The other pillar of our ‘making the di ff erence’ strategy is to put sustainability at the heart of what we do . We aim to facilitate and fi nance society’s shift to a low - carbon future by supporting our clients in their transitions . In the fi rst quarter of 2023 , we closed 98 sustainability transactions and achieved a volume of sustainable fi nance mobilised of € 21 . 9 billion year - to - date . “Last year we became the fi rst global bank to restrict project fi nancing of new ‘upstream’ projects for the exploration and extraction of new oil and gas fi elds. In March this year, we announced that we will further expand this approach to ‘midstream’ (oil & gas infrastructure) activities. We also aim to reduce the volumes of the traded oil and gas that we fi nance. At the same time, we aim to increase the annual amount that we lend to renewables. I’m pleased that ING was ranked in the top - 10 of leading global lenders in clean energy in 2022. “Overall, our fi rst - quarter results re fl ect the outstanding work of our employees worldwide, who bring our strategy into action each day. I’m proud of how our people have supported our customers and each other in times of need, as we saw after the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria and as we continue to see in Ukraine. I’m con fi dent we will continue to deliver value for all our stakeholders.” Press release ING Corporate Communications Amsterdam, 11 May 2023
Business Highlights Primary customers 14.7 mln +106,000 in 1Q2023 Mobile - only customers 57% of total active customers vs 52% in 1Q2022 Net result €1,591 mln +271% vs 1Q2022 Fee income €896 mln - 4% vs 1Q2022 CET1 ratio 14.8% +0.3% vs 4Q2022 Return on equity (4 - qtr rolling avg) 9.7% +1.7% vs 1Q2022 Customer experience NPS score: Ranked #1 in 5 of 10 Retail markets Primary customers: +106,000 in 1Q2023 In 1Q2023, we made further progress on our sustainability goals and supported clients in making the transition to more sustainable ways of doing business. ING advised SAP SE, the world’s largest provider of enterprise application software, on the re fi nancing and increase of a €3 billion syndicated revolving credit facility, its fi rst sustainable fi nance transaction. SAP’s mission is to empower its clients on their ‘green’ journey via its cloud - based solutions. ING in Germany acted as sole ESG coordinator for establishing the sustainability terms, and was also joint coordinator and bookrunner. In structuring the deal, ING’s teams engaged with SAP’s Treasury, Environmental, and Diversity & Inclusion teams to help align the company’s general business strategy with its ESG ambitions. Aligning the most carbon intensive parts of our oil and gas portfolio with climate goals is one of the ways we aim to fi ght climate change. In 2022, ING became the fi rst global bank to restrict the fi nancing of projects for the exploration and extraction of new oil and gas fi elds. In March this year, we announced that we will expand this approach to restricting the project fi nancing of the infrastructure activities that unlock these new oil and gas fi elds. Ultimately, one of the best ways to decarbonise society is to increase the availability of renewable energy. That’s why we have intensi fi ed our renewable energy e ff orts. According to Bloomberg NEF, ING already is a top - 10 global lender in clean energy. We announced our aim to grow our annual commitment to new fi nancing of renewable energy by 50 percent by the end of 2025. At year - end 2022, already 59 percent of our lending portfolio for power generation was in renewable energy (a total of €8 billion), meaning a 10 percent increase compared with 2021. Sustainability Volume mobilised €21.9 bln in 1Q2023 vs €17.3 bln in 1Q2022 Sustainability deals supported by ING: 98 in 1Q2023 vs 77 in 1Q2022 A superior customer experience is what di ff erentiates us and we’re continuously working to o ff er customers an experience that is relevant, easy, personal and instant. Our net promoter scores (NPS) show that customers value our services. In 1Q2023 we were number one in fi ve of our 10 retail markets. ING Press Release 1Q2023 2 Customers continue to embrace mobile banking. In 1Q2023, the number of mobile transactions increased 51% compared with the same quarter a year ago. Through our partnership with Amazon, customers of ING in Belgium can now bene fi t from up to 11 percent cashback on Amazon.com.be. By activating the ING+ deals service via the banking app, Belgian customers can enjoy cashback savings from more than 50 merchant partners. ING is the fi rst Belgian bank to o ff er such a cashback incentive in partnership with Amazon. We introduced a similar service in Germany in 2021, where our customers get a cashback on their Amazon orders via DealWise, ING's shopping platform. Banks, also ING, are committed to making their payment services accessible to all. This includes customers with a visual impairment. In March 2023, we introduced an option in our Android app in the Netherlands that enables visually impaired people to hear the amount they are about to pay before con fi rmation of their payment, giving them the con fi dence that the transaction is correct. Knowing who we do business with (KYC) helps us keep ING – and the fi nancial system – safe. To make onboarding and the collection of the required KYC documentation for new Wholesale Banking clients easier, we’ve introduced DOOR – direct online onboarding request – on Wholesale Banking’s InsideBusiness banking platform. Available in 15 countries, DOOR is an example of how we’re using our scalable technology and operations to provide a seamless digital service that saves time for our clients and our employees.

Net core deposits growth represents customer deposits adjusted for currency impacts, Treasury and run - o ff portfolios. Total income Total income in 1Q2023 was very strong at €5,567 million, particularly driven by Retail Banking and the cash management activities within Wholesale Banking, re fl ecting the current interest rate environment. Income was also supported by higher results in Financial Markets. Year - on - year, net interest income excluding TLTRO was supported by the strong increase of interest margins on liabilities, combined with an increase in customer deposit balances. Net interest income from mortgages declined, albeit at a slower pace, 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. Financial Markets recorded strong income growth in all segments. Rising rates led to higher funding costs resulting in a reduction in net interest income. This was more than o ff set by increased other income from rising rates related to opposite positions. Treasury bene fi ted from prevailing favourable FX swap interest rate di ff erentials. These activities led to a decrease in net interest income of € - 234 million, which was more than o ff set by an increase of €267 million in other income. Sequentially, when excluding the net TLTRO impact, a higher net interest income on liabilities more than compensated for the lower net interest income from the aforementioned Treasury activities. In 4Q2022, the impact of these activities on net interest income was € - 137 million and €+184 million on other income.

Consolidated Results The fourth quarter of 2022 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 the ECB's decision to change the conditions for the TLTRO programme) and the remaining TLTRO bene fi t until 23 November 2022. In 1Q2022, the bene fi t from the TLTRO programme was €82 million. Net core lending growth – which excludes FX impacts and movements in Treasury lending as well as in the run - o ff portfolios – was €1.0 billion in 1Q2023. Net core lending growth in Retail Banking was €2.2 billion and consisted of €0.8 billion of growth in residential mortgages (primarily in the Netherlands and Germany) and €1.4 billion in other retail lending (mainly in Belgium). In Wholesale Banking, core lending declined by €1.2 billion, as €1.8 billion of growth in Lending was more than o ff set by a lower utilisation in Working Capital Solutions and the impact of lower commodity prices in trade fi nance. In a quarter with quite some market turmoil, our deposit base remained resilient. Net core deposits growth – which excludes FX impacts and movements in Treasury deposits as well as in the run - o ff portfolios – was €1.3 billion in 1Q2023. The quarterly growth in Retail Banking amounted to €1.7 billion, mainly re fl ecting in fl ows in Poland, Spain, Belgium and Germany, partly o ff set by lower current account balances and a shift from deposits to assets under management in the Netherlands. Net core deposits in Wholesale Banking declined by €0.4 billion. Net fee and commission income amounted to €896 million. In Retail Banking, daily banking fees increased year - on - year on the back of higher charges for payment packages and new service fees. This was more than o ff set, however, by a decline in fees from investment products compared with a record level in 1Q2022, re fl ecting lower assets under management and subdued trading activity. In Wholesale Banking, fee income was stable as higher fee income from Lending deals compensated for the impact of lower commodity prices on fee income in Trade & Commodity Finance. Compared with 4Q2022, total fee income rose slightly. In Retail Banking, the increase in fee income was driven by investment products as stock markets recovered. Fee income for Wholesale Banking rose slightly on a sequential basis. A higher deal fl ow in Global Capital Markets was partly o ff set by lower commissions in Corporate Finance and in Lending, after a strong 4Q2022. Investment income was €15 million in 1Q2023 and decreased by €14 million compared with 1Q2022, which had included a capital gain in Belgium. Sequentially, investment income was fl at. Other income rose from both comparable quarters. Strong trading results for Financial Markets in 1Q2023 and the aforementioned shift from Treasury - related net interest income to other income (re fl ecting bene fi ts from market opportunities) more than o ff set a € - 70 million IAS 29 impact to re fl ect hyperin fl ation in Turkey (versus € - 32 million in 4Q2022). The fi rst quarter of 2022 had included a €150 million impairment on our equity stake in TMBThanachart Bank (TTB) and negative valuation adjustments in Financial Markets as a result of the Russian invasion in Ukraine. The fourth quarter of 2022 had 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. Operating expenses Total operating expenses were €3,071 million, including €525 million of regulatory costs and €4 million of incidental cost items. Expenses excluding regulatory costs and incidental items were €2,541 million. The year - on - year expense growth of 10.7% was primarily attributable to the impact of high in fl ation on sta ff expenses, re fl ecting indexation and CLA increases across most of our markets since 1Q2022. Additionally, marketing expenses increased, particularly in the Challenger and Growth markets, to invest in further growth of our customer base. Expenses also included €27 million of legal claims in Retail Challengers & Growth Markets. Compared with 4Q2022, expenses excluding regulatory costs and incidental items only marginally increased. This mainly re fl ected higher sta ff expenses, IT investments and legal provisions, which were o ff set by lower professional fees and marketing expenses. Furthermore, 4Q2022 included €15 million of impairments in Wholesale Banking. 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 Operating expenses (in € million) 2,296 649 159 214 2,365 2,448 96 2,515 291 82 2,541 1Q2022 2Q2022 3Q2022 4Q2022 1Q2023 Expenses excl. regulatory costs and incidental items Regulatory costs Incidental items 525 ING Press Release 1Q2023 4 4 85 Operating expenses in 1Q2023 included €4 million for hyperin fl ation accounting impacts on expenses in Turkey (due to accounting requirements of IAS 29). There were no incidental cost items in 1Q2022, while 4Q2022 included €82 million of incidental cost items, consisting of €43 million of restructuring costs, €30 million of allowances to employees to help cover their increased energy costs and a €9 million IAS 29 impact. Regulatory costs were €525 million and are seasonally higher in the fi rst quarter of the year. This re fl ects the accounting requirement to recognise certain annual charges in full in the fi rst quarter, such as the contributions to the European Single Resolution Fund (SRF) and to the Belgian deposit guarantee
Consolidated Results scheme, and the Belgian bank tax (whereas the annual Dutch bank tax is recorded in the fourth quarter). The €124 million decrease in regulatory costs compared with 1Q2022 was mainly caused by a lower tari ff for the European SRF contribution. Addition to loan loss provisions Net additions to loan loss provisions amounted to €152 million. This is equivalent to 9 basis points of average customer lending and is well below the through - the - cycle average. Stage 3 risks costs were €197 million. This was mainly related to collective provisions, including additions for model adjustments, while additions for individual client fi les were limited. Total Stage 1 and 2 risk costs (including o ff - balance - sheet provisioning and modi fi cations) were € - 45 million. This included a €118 million net release of Stage 2 provisions for our Russia - related portfolio, mainly due to a further reduction of our exposure. It also included a €46 million addition for adjustments to CHF - indexed mortgages in Poland to re fl ect the changed expectation in future cash fl ows following the opinion of the Advocate General on a case pending at the European Court of Justice.

The increase re fl ects strong income growth and modest risk costs, which in the year - ago quarter had been heavily impacted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The e ff ective tax rate in 1Q2023 was 30.5% (which took into account non - deductible interest expenses in various countries) compared with 29.0% in 1Q2022 and 33.6% in 4Q2022. The strong fi rst - quarter result was re fl ected in the return on average IFRS - EU equity of 13.0%. On a four - quarter rolling average basis, the return on average IFRS - EU equity increased to 9.7% from 7.2% in the previous four - quarter rolling period.

This re fl ects 50% of the resilient net pro fi t in both 2022 and 1Q2023, which has been reserved for distribution in line with our policy, minus the 2022 interim dividend that was paid in August 2022. ING Press Release 1Q2023 5 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, and consistent with prior quarters, the impact of hyperin fl ation accounting has been excluded. Therefore, resilient net pro fi t was €68 million higher than net pro fi t in 1Q2023.
Consolidated Balance Sheet Balance sheet In 1Q2023, ING’s balance sheet increased by €54.4 billion to €1,022.2 billion, including €4.6 billion of negative currency impacts (mainly due to the depreciation of the US dollar and Australian dollar against the euro). The increase 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, which were both at relatively low levels at year - end 2022. Customer lending, adjusted for €3.1 billion of negative currency impacts, increased by €1.1 billion. Growth in Retail Banking (mainly in Belgium and Germany) was partly o ff set by a decline in Wholesale Banking (mainly lower utilisation in Working Capital Solutions). On the liability side of the balance sheet, the main increases were recorded in fi nancial liabilities at fair value through pro fi t or loss (mirroring the development on the asset side of the balance sheet) and in customer deposits (which rose by €19.4 billion, mainly related to Treasury and driven by market opportunities). The increase in debt securities in issue was due to higher CD/CPs and €4.0 billion of covered bonds that were issued on 15 February. Subordinated loans included a $1.0 billion issuance of AT1 securities on 14 February and a dual - tranche issuance of Tier 2 bonds in February (of GBP 0.75 billion and €0.5 billion, respectively), which were largely o ff set by the call of a $1.25 billion Tier 2 bond in March. Deposits from banks declined due to a €5.0 billion early partial repayment of ING’s TLTRO III participation. Of the remaining €31.0 billion TLTRO III participation, €25.0 billion will mature in June 2023 and €6.0 billion in March 2024.

CET1 capital increased mainly due to the inclusion of €0.8 billion of the quarterly net pro fi t. The increase in the Tier 1 ratio re fl ects the issuance of $1.0 billion of AT1 instruments in February 2023. Tier 2 capital decreased as the €2.2 billion redemption of two Tier 2 instruments more than o ff set the approximately €1.4 billion dual - tranche Tier 2 issuance in February. The leverage ratio decreased as the higher leverage exposure was only partly o ff set by higher Tier 1 capital. As from January 2023, the G - SII bu ff er requirement (0.5%) has come into e ff ect, increasing the overall leverage ratio requirement to 3.5% in accordance with Article 92(1a) of the capital requirements regulation (CRR). Risk - weighted assets (RWA) The decrease in total RWA mainly re fl ects lower credit RWA. ING Group: Composition of RWA ING Press Release 1Q2023 7 31 Dec. 2022 31 Mar. 2023 in € billion 282.6 278.0 Credit RWA 35.0 35.0 Operational RWA 13.9 14.3 Market RWA 331.5 327.4 Total RWA The FX impact on credit RWA was € - 1.4 billion and mainly caused by the depreciation of the US dollar against the euro. Excluding currency impacts, credit RWA decreased by €3.1 billion, mainly due to a better overall pro fi le of the loan book (€ - 1.7 billion) and a decrease for our Russia - related exposures (€ - 1.3 billion). Operational RWA remained fl at. Market RWA increased by €0.4 billion, mainly due to higher structural FX positions. Distribution In line with our distribution policy of a 50 % pay - out ratio on resilient net pro fi t, a fi nal cash dividend over 2022 of € 0 . 389 per share was paid on 5 May 2023 . ING has reserved €829 million of the 1Q2023 net pro fi t for distribution. Resilient net pro fi t in 1Q2023 (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 €1,659 million. This includes a positive adjustment to the reported net result of €68 million, related to hyperin fl ation accounting according to IAS 29 in the consolidation of our subsidiary in Turkey. ING announced today the start of a share buyback programme under which it plans to repurchase ordinary shares of ING Groep, for a maximum total amount of €1.5 billion. The buyback programme will have an impact of roughly 46 basis points on our CET1 ratio. 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 10.73%. This requirement has increased compared with 4Q2022 (10.58%) due to the anticipated phase - in of various countercyclical bu ff ers. ING’s fully loaded CET1 requirement in 1Q2023 was 10.98%, unchanged versus 4Q2022. The increases in the countercyclical bu ff ers, as announced earlier by various macroprudential 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 27.53% of RWA and 5.97% of leverage exposure. The MREL surplus based on RWA mirrors trends in the Total capital ratio and was furthermore impacted by one instrument that lost MREL eligibility (maturity <1 year). The MREL surplus based on LR mirrors trends in the leverage ratio.

Liquidity and funding In 1Q2023, the 12 - month moving average Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) remained stable at 134%, with the total of high - quality liquid assets (HQLA) and both the net in fl ow and net out fl ow at similar levels compared with the previous quarter. At the end of 1Q2023, the LCR stood at 137%. ING takes its relatively high proportion of stable and insured deposits into account in managing its LCR as well as the available stock of ECB - eligible unencumbered assets.

In 1Q2023, ING repaid €5 billion of its TLTRO III participation. The increase in the balance sheet compared with 4Q2022 was mostly due to growth in professional funding, re fl ecting seasonal impact and pre - funding of the TLTRO repayment.

Credit risk management Total credit outstandings rose in 1Q2023, mainly due to higher cash and balances with central banks, re fl ected in ‘Other retail banking’, Financial Markets, and ‘Treasury & Other’. Stage 2 outstandings decreased, mainly driven by a further decline in our Russia - related outstandings. Stage 3 outstandings remained stable. In 1Q2023, ING Group’s stock of provisions decreased slightly, mainly due to write - o ff s in Stage 3, which were partly o ff set by the impact of model updates. The Stage 3 coverage ratio declined to 33.5% from 33.9% in the previous quarter. The loan portfolio consists predominantly of asset - based and secured loans, including residential mortgages, project - and asset - based 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 was supported by a strong increase in liability margins. This was only partly o ff set by lower interest income from mortgages, mainly due to lower prepayment penalties. Treasury - related interest income declined due to a shift to other income, re fl ecting activities to bene fi t from prevailing favourable FX swap interest rate di ff erentials. Sequentially, when excluding the net TLTRO impact, net interest income increased, as higher margins on liabilities more than compensated for the temporary shift in Treasury from interest income to other income. Fee income rose on both comparable quarters, driven by daily banking. This was supported by an increase in fees for payment packages as from 1 January 2023 and new service fees for business banking, introduced in 2022. The strong increase in other income was attributable to Treasury due to the shift from net interest income to other income. Net core lending growth was €0.2 billion in 1Q2023, as €0.5 billion of higher mortgage volumes more than compensated for a €0.3 billion decrease in other lending. Net core deposits declined by €2.6 billion and included the impact from operational payments performed by business banking clients in January and a shift from deposits to assets under management. Expenses excluding regulatory costs increased both year - on - year and sequentially, mostly due to higher sta ff expenses and an €8 million restructuring provision. Regulatory costs in the fi rst quarter mainly re fl ected the contribution to the European Single Resolution Fund, which declined compared with 1Q2022 due to a lower tari ff . Risk costs were €56 million and mainly related to model adjustments in the mortgage portfolio. Retail Belgium (including Luxembourg) Net interest income increased strongly year - on - year, as higher margins on liabilities more than compensated for mortgage margin compression due to higher funding costs. Sequentially, interest income excluding TLTRO also increased, supported by an upward trend in liability margins, while interest income from lending stabilised. The decline in fee income year - on - year was mainly due to lower fees on investment products, re fl ecting lower assets under management in line with market developments . Compared with 4Q2022, net fee income decreased because of higher commissions paid to agents. Investment income in 1Q2022 had included a realised capital gain. Other income in 4Q2022 included a €67 million gain from a legacy entity, while 1Q2022 had included higher Treasury - related income. Net core lending increased by €1.4 billion and was fully driven by business lending. Net core deposits grew by €0.7 billion. Expenses excluding regulatory costs increased on both comparable quarters, largely due to automatic salary indexation and €9 million of restructuring expenses. Regulatory costs in the fi rst quarter included the annual Belgian regulatory costs, which declined compared with 1Q2022, re fl ecting a lower tari ff for the European Single Resolution Fund this year and a partial reimbursement of the Belgian bank tax that was paid in 2016. Risk costs amounted to €78 million and included the impact of model updates for the mortgage and consumer lending portfolios.
Segment Reporting: Retail Banking Retail Germany Net interest income was supported by signi fi cantly higher margins on liabilities. Year - on - year, fee income re fl ected a lower number of brokerage trades in investment products and lower fees from mortgages due to lower brokerage volumes. This was partly compensated by higher daily banking fees. Sequentially, investment product fees increased, re fl ecting a higher number of trades. Other income declined compared with 1Q2022 when Treasury - related income had been exceptionally high. Net core lending growth in 1Q2023 was €0.3 billion, driven entirely by mortgages. Net core deposits grew by €0.5 billion. Operating expenses excluding regulatory costs increased year - on - year, predominantly due to higher marketing expenses to invest in the further growth of our customer base, combined with the impact of in fl ation on sta ff expenses. Compared with 4Q2022, which included €10 million of incidental items for sta ff allowances and restructuring costs, expenses excluding regulatory costs rose, primarily due to investments to support business growth. Regulatory costs were seasonally higher than in 4Q2022 and declined year - on - year due to lower contributions for deposit guarantee schemes. Risk costs were €33 million and primarily related to consumer lending, driven by collective provisions and a model update. 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 negative currency impacts and tighter lending margins. 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. Sequentially, fees rose slightly. Other income in 4Q2022 included €14 million of income from the fi nal settlement of the transfer of our investment business in France, while 1Q2022 had included a €150 million impairment on our equity stake in TTB. Excluding the aforementioned items, other income increased year - on - year due to higher Treasury results. Net core lending increased by €0.3 billion in 1Q2023, mainly due to higher business lending in Poland and Turkey. Net core deposits growth was €3.1 billion, driven by net in fl ows in Poland and Spain. Expenses in 1Q2023 included €27 million of legal provisions, while 4Q2022 had €10 million of legal provisions and €33 million of incidental items (mainly restructuring costs for France and Turkey). Expenses – excluding regulatory costs and the aforementioned legal provisions and incidental items – were almost fl at sequentially, but they rose year - on - year, mainly due to in fl ationary pressure on sta ff costs. This was partly o ff set by savings following the discontinuation of our retail activities in France and the Philippines. Regulatory costs re fl ect lower DGS and SRF contributions year - on - year. Risk costs were €75 million and included €46 million for adjustments to the expected future cash fl ows of CHF - indexed mortgages in Poland.

Segment Reporting: Wholesale Banking Net interest income excluding TLTRO rose slightly year - on - year. Net interest income for Payments and Cash Management (PCM) increased signi fi cantly, bene fi ting from higher interest rates. This was largely o ff set by lower net interest income for Financial Markets, re fl ecting the increased cost of funding (which was more than compensated by higher other income). Sequentially, interest income excluding TLTRO declined slightly. An increase for PCM was o ff set by lower interest for Financial Markets and Treasury, which saw a temporary shift from net interest to other income, re fl ecting activities to bene fi t from prevailing favourable FX swap interest rate di ff erentials. Fee income was stable year - on - year, as higher fees in Lending and Financial Markets compensated for a lower deal fl ow and lower commodity prices in Trade & Commodity Finance. Sequentially, higher fee income in Financial Markets more than o ff set a decline in Lending and Corporate Finance, which both had a strong 4Q2022. Other income increased signi fi cantly both year - on - year and sequentially. This was mostly due to strong income in Financial Markets, which bene fi ted from market volatility, while 1Q2022 had included negative valuation adjustments after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Net core lending decreased by € 1 . 2 billion in 1 Q 2023 , as an increase in Lending was more than o ff set by a lower utilisation in Working Capital Solutions and the impact of lower commodity prices in Trade & Commodity Finance. Net core deposits declined by €0.4 billion, attributable to Financial Markets, while client accounts remained stable. Expenses excluding regulatory costs increased year - on - year, mainly due to in fl ationary impacts on sta ff expenses, re fl ecting CLA increases and indexation. Compared with 4Q2022, expenses excluding regulatory costs declined, re fl ecting lower costs for professional services and IT as well as €10 million of incidental items (mainly restructuring costs) and €15 million of impairments in the prior quarter. Regulatory costs are seasonally higher in the fi rst quarter of the year. However, they decreased year - on - year, mainly re fl ecting lower contributions to the European Single Resolution Fund in 1Q2023. Wholesale Banking recorded a net release of €90 million from loan loss provisions in 1Q2023. This was driven by a €118 million release of Stage 2 provisions for our Russia - related portfolio, mainly due to a further reduction of our exposure. Stage 3 risk costs were limited. 4Q2022 1Q2022 1Q2023 In € million Profit or loss 1,073 1,024 1,059 Net interest income - excl. net TLTRO impact - 77 37 0 Net interest income - net TLTRO impact 318 324 323 Net fee and commission income 1 6 3 Investment income 192 139 406 Other income 1,507 1,530 1,791 Total income of which: 746 800 807 Lending 443 379 529 Daily Banking & Trade Finance 287 215 349 Financial Markets 31 136 107 Treasury & Other 1,507 1,530 1,791 Total income 775 644 725 Expenses excl. regulatory costs 98 171 136 Regulatory costs 872 815 860 Operating expenses 635 715 931 Gross result 65 939 - 90 Addition to loan loss provisions 570 - 224 1,021 Result before tax Profitability and efficiency 0.9 - 5.2 - 1.2 Net core lending growth (in € billion) - 3.2 6.3 - 0.4 Net core deposits growth (in € billion) 57.9% 53.3% 48.0% Cost/income ratio 370 391 454 Income over average risk - weighted assets (in bps) 1) 13 205 - 19 Risk costs in bps of average customer lending 7.1% - 4.3% 15.2% Return on equity based on 12.5% CET1 2) 159.4 163.9 156.2 Risk - weighted assets (end of period, in € billion) Wholesale Banking: Consolidated pro fi t or loss account ING Press Release 1Q2023 12 Total Wholesale Banking 1) Total income divided by average RWA (annualised). 2) After - tax return divided by average equity based on 12.5% of RWA (annualised).
ING Press Release 1Q2023 13 Segment Reporting: Wholesale Banking Lending income rose year - on - year, supported by an increase in fee income and with higher volumes largely compensating for lower interest margins. Compared with 4Q2022, interest margins stabilised, while other income increased as 4Q2022 was impacted by negative fair value adjustments and secondary sales discounts. Income from Daily Banking & Trade Finance increased strongly both year - on - year and sequentially, predominantly driven by higher PCM income, which bene fi ted from increased interest rates and higher client volumes. Income for Bank Mendes Gans also rose, partly as a result of higher customer balances. This more than compensated for lower income year - on - year in Trade & Commodity Finance, re fl ecting lower commodity prices. Financial Markets delivered a signi fi cant increase in income, both year - on - year and sequentially, mainly driven by higher trading results. This was especially visible in Rates, Money Markets, Non - Linear Trading and Credits, as these desks all bene fi ted from volatility and good client fl ow despite the market turmoil in March. Commission income was up on both prior periods, particularly quarter - on - quarter, driven by a higher deal fl ow in Global Capital Markets. The quarterly income of Treasury & Other declined year - on - year as 1Q2022 had included high mark - to - market gains from hedge ine ff ectiveness and credit default swap positions. Sequentially, the income of Treasury & Other increased signi fi cantly, mainly because 4Q2022 contained a € - 77 million net TLTRO impact.

Total income in 1Q2023 included a € - 69 million IAS 29 impact, re fl ecting the application of hyperin fl ation accounting in the consolidation of our subsidiary in Turkey. Excluding this IAS 29 impact, total income increased by €90 million year - on - year. This was mostly driven by higher results from foreign currency ratio hedging (mainly on the US dollar and Polish zloty) and partially by hedge ine ff ectiveness and the revaluation of derivatives. Compared with 4Q2022, total income excluding the IAS 29 impact decreased, primarily due to a €17 million TLTRO bene fi t recorded in the previous quarter. Operating expenses in 1Q2023 decreased compared with 4Q2022, which included €21 million for allowances to sta ff in the Netherlands to cover their increased energy costs, as well as a VAT refund. Year - on - year, expenses were relatively stable.
