Exhibit 99.1

 

ING posts 3Q2023 net result of €1,982 million, driven by strong income in both Retail and Wholesale Banking Profit before tax increases significantly year - on - year to €2,866 million; CET1 ratio rises to 15.2% • Strong performance in both Retail and Wholesale Banking and 4 - quarter rolling RoE improves to 13.8% • Increase of 181,000 primary customers in the third quarter, with growth in almost all markets • Strong interest income combined with higher fee income • Operating expenses remain under control and risk costs are low, reflecting strong asset quality • Announcement of €2.5 billion share buyback programme as we continue to align our capital to our target level CEO statement “ING recorded another strong set of results in the third quarter of 2023, with net result more than doubling on the prior year", said Steven van Rijswijk, CEO of ING. “Notwithstanding the cooling economy and amid polarising geopolitical developments, which impacted business and consumer confidence, both our Retail and Wholesale Banking businesses posted strong results. Their interest income benefited from the positive rate environment and fee income also increased, especially in Retail Banking, driven by daily banking and investment products. “I’m proud that we gained another 181,000 primary customers to reach a total of 15.1 million. This growth occurred across almost all of our 10 retail markets, especially in Germany, Australia and Türkiye, further supporting our future value creation. Customers value our services, as shown in our net promoter scores, where we maintained our number one position in five of our 10 Retail Banking markets. A superior customer experience is a pillar of our ‘making the difference’ strategy. An example is digital onboarding. In many markets we now onboard most of our new retail customers fully digitally: 75% in the Netherlands, 72% in Australia and 63% in Germany – percentages that are all growing. “The cycle of recent central bank rate hikes, which helped the recovery of our profitability after a prolonged period of negative rates, appears to have paused. We are conscious of the public discussions on saving rates and, depending on developments in the competitive landscape, our liability margins may reduce somewhat from current levels. Overall income will be supported by our strong and diversified businesses, especially when loan demand recovers. “Wholesale Banking showed solid income growth as continued rates increases resulted in improved margins for Payments & Cash Management, and Financial Markets benefited from strong trading results. We focused on further optimising our capital usage and margins while decreasing risk weights, prioritising own origination of high - quality loans. “Expenses remained under control with year - on - year cost growth (excluding incidentals) below 5%. Risk costs were again low – a testament to the quality of our loan book and our prudent credit risk management. We remain vigilant, given global economic growth is slowing down. “In October, we published our Climate Report, setting out our progress on the path to net zero, including how we engage with clients. We also explain our work to assess climate risks and how we take action to mitigate them. One of the key challenges we face is balancing the world’s need for urgent action with helping drive economic progress and supporting the transition. We are proud of how we are using our financing to help our clients in this, but we can’t do it alone. Next to detailed transition plans for the nine most carbon - intensive sectors in our loan portfolio, the report includes specific calls to action on governments and regulators to guide the transition more firmly. “We continue to take steps to converge our capital ratios to our target level of around 12 . 5 % , today announcing another share buyback programme . We do this from a position of strength, convinced that operating at the right level of capital is in the best interest of all stakeholders and allows us to support the economy and our more than 38 million customers in over 40 countries . “These are uncertain times and it is hard to predict the impact of geopolitical conflicts . However, I’m confident that we are well positioned to withstand adverse challenges and continue to make a difference . I would like to thank everyone who contributed to our performance during the third quarter . ” Press release ING Corporate Communications Amsterdam, 2 November 2023 Investor enquiries E: investor.relations@ing.com Press enquiries T: +31 (0)20 576 5000 E: media.relations@ing.com Analyst call 2 November 2023 at 9:00 am CET +31 20 708 5074 (NL), PIN code: 8734585# +44 330 551 0202 (UK), PIN code: 8734585# (Registration required via invitation) Live audio webcast at www.ing.com Media call 2 November 2023 at 11:00 am CET +31 20 708 5073 (NL) +44 330 551 0200 (UK) (Quote ING Media Call 3Q2023 when prompted by the operator) Live audio webcast at www.ing.com

 

 

Primary customers 15.1 mln +181,000 in 3Q2023 Mobile - only customers 62% of total active customers vs 57% in 3Q2022 Net result €1,982 mln +103% vs 3Q2022 Fee income €909 mln +4% vs 3Q2022 CET1 ratio 15.2% +0.3% vs 2Q2023 Return on equity (4 - qtr rolling avg) 13.8% +7.0% vs 3Q2022 Customer experience NPS score: Ranked #1 in 5 of 10 Retail markets Primary customers: +181,000 in 3Q2023 Offering a customer experience that is personal, easy, relevant and instant is one of our strategic priorities. In this quarter, our primary customer base grew by 181,000 to 15.1 million. This, along with our leading NPS rankings, shows that customers appreciate our products and services. ING constantly invests in online security and the fight against fraud. Customers in Belgium, for example, can now directly report potentially fraudulent transactions or concerns they might have, via app and web. Belgium is the first country to implement this within ING. ING in Türkiye revised its fraud detection framework to improve effectiveness, resulting in early improved detection. An important part of keeping ING safe and secure is knowing our customers. During onboarding, prospective customers need to provide ING with a lot of information, including the source of their funds and assets. We endeavour to make this process as seamless as possible. In Poland, a new feature in the mobile app – the KYC tracker – allows retail customers to easily track the status of their onboarding and directly address any requirements. Italy is one of the first ING Wholesale Banking (WB) countries providing clients uniform and harmonised monthly statements about banking fees charged to their account. All the countries in ING’s WB network are being migrated to the global billing platform that enables this new service. Sustainability Volume mobilised: €73.9 bln in 9M2023 vs €64.5 bln in 9M2022 ING Press Release 3Q2023 2 Sustainability deals supported by ING: 507 in 9M2023 vs 306 in 9M2022 We aim to put sustainability at the heart of what we do. Society is transitioning to a low - carbon economy. So are our clients, and so is ING. We finance a lot of sustainable activities, but we still finance more that’s not. In our Climate Report, we share our progress on the path to net zero, including how we engage with clients. We’re developing an online tool to collect and assess the transition plans and sustainability performance of (eventually) our largest WB clients. This will enhance our climate - related decision - making processes and improve how we engage with existing and prospective clients. We're also expanding our Terra approach to include additional carbon - intensive sectors and more parts of existing sectors. For example, we now cover our global commercial real estate portfolio. We cover the mid and downstream part of the oil & gas value chain and are working to expand into trade & commodity finance. We're also working to expand Terra to cover the aluminium portfolio and part of Business Banking. It’s our aim to have sustainable alternatives for our main Retail products in all markets by 2025. Our sustainability propositions within our mortgages offering, include loans to stimulate home renovations and a sustainability discount for energy - efficient homes. Our market share of mortgage production for A - label (or higher) homes in the Netherlands has increased from 13.5% in the third quarter of 2022 to 18.7% in the third quarter of this year. In Romania we successfully added new purposes to our sustainable personal loans, like solar panels. ING in Germany added sustainability filters for investments in its app, showing customers sustainability data for shares and investment funds available. Customers can use these filters to help identify investments that fit their sustainability preferences. They are already among the top four most - used filters in the app. We continued to invest in renewable energy. An example is our leading role in the financing of the first offshore wind farm in Poland, consisting of 76 wind turbines, which will, once completed, supply clean energy to over 1.5 million households. We also acted as green loan structuring agent for Swift Current’s Double Black Diamond Solar Project in Illinois, which is expected to reduce regional CO2 emissions by an estimated one million tons per year. This is expected to be the second largest solar project in the US. Business Highlights

Consolidated Results

 

 

Total income Total income in 3Q2023 was again very strong at €5,842 million, an increase of 32.4% year - on - year and slightly above the prior quarter. This was mainly driven by Retail Banking, reflecting the current interest rate environment, coupled with the continued strong performance of Wholesale Banking. Year - on - year, net interest income was strongly supported by a sharp recovery of interest margins on liabilities. This was reflected in higher income in Retail Banking, as well as from the cash management activities in Wholesale Banking. Net interest income from mortgages, after adjusting for the € - 343 million impact from the Polish moratorium in 3Q2022, also increased. In Financial Markets, rising interest rates led to higher funding costs, resulting in a reduction in net interest income, while other income (related to the opposite position) rose significantly. Treasury continued to benefit from favourable market opportunities through money market and FX transactions. In the third quarter of 2023 these activities had a € - 249 million impact on net interest income (versus € - 225 million in 2Q2023 and € - 102 million in 3Q2022), which was again more than offset in other income (€+273 million). Sequentially, net interest income in Retail Banking continued to increase, albeit at a slower pace because margins on liabilities stabilised after an acceleration of core savings rate increases in several of our markets. Net interest income from mortgages declined slightly as asset repricing continued to trail market interest rate increases in some of our geographies. Net interest income from other retail lending rose modestly. Wholesale Banking recorded a slight decline in net interest income (primarily due to Treasury), while interest income from lending increased. Net interest income (in € million) and net interest margin (in %) The net interest margin was 1.57% in 3Q2023, an improvement of 1 basis point compared with 2Q2023. Year - on - year, when excluding the impacts of the Polish mortgage moratorium and TLTRO in the prior year, the net interest margin increased by 18 basis points. ING Press Release 3Q2023 4 In Retail Banking, net core lending growth – which excludes FX impacts and movements in Treasury lending as well as in the run - off portfolios – was €0.5 billion. This was driven by €2.2 billion of growth in residential mortgages, primarily in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Other retail lending declined by €1.8 billion. In Wholesale Banking, core lending declined by €2.8 billion, reflecting subdued demand and our focus on further optimising our capital usage. After an exceptional increase in deposits in the previous quarter (particularly in Germany), net core deposits growth – which excludes FX impacts and movements in Treasury deposits – was € - 7.0 billion in 3Q2023, of which € - 4.7 billion was in Retail Banking and € - 2.4 billion in Wholesale Banking. In Retail Banking, this was mainly due to a shift from deposits to assets under management and seasonal impact (as customers spend more during the summer holiday period). In Belgium, outflows were also attributable to customers buying retail bonds issued by the Belgian government in September. In the non - eurozone countries where ING operates, deposits continued to increase, particularly in Poland and Australia. Total net fee and commission income rose 3.8% year - on - year, mainly driven by growth in Retail Banking. Fees from investment products increased, particularly in Belgium, due to a net inflow in assets under management. Daily banking fees in Retail Banking also increased, reflecting higher fees for payment packages and new service fees. In Wholesale Banking, higher fees in Lending were offset by a decline in fees from daily banking; this was partly due to lower volumes. Compared with 2Q2023, total fee income was almost stable. Strong growth was recorded in Retail Banking, particularly in daily banking, which included seasonally higher travel - related fee income and lower commissions paid to independent agents in Belgium. Fee income for Wholesale Banking declined sequentially, mainly due to subdued demand in Lending and seasonally lower deal flow in Global Capital Markets and Corporate Finance. Investment income in 3Q2023 mainly consisted of a €98 million annual dividend from our stake in the Bank of Beijing compared with a dividend of €111 million a year ago. Other income increased significantly compared with 3Q2022, which had included a hedge accounting impact of € - 288 million and €100 million income from the transfer of our investment business in France to Boursorama. Excluding these two exceptional items, the growth in other income was mainly driven by Treasury (partly offset in net interest income) and higher trading results in Financial Markets. Sequentially, other income increased slightly as higher other income from Treasury more than compensated a larger IAS 29 impact (reflecting a higher inflation in Türkiye). Operating expenses Total operating expenses were € 2 , 793 million, including € 109 million of regulatory costs and € 122 million of incidental cost items . Expenses excluding regulatory costs and incidental items were €2,562 million and rose 4.7% year - on - year. This was primarily attributable to the impact of high inflation on staff expenses, reflected in CLA increases and indexation, and a small increase in FTEs. These factors were partly offset by savings from exiting the French and Philippine retail markets, as well as by positive FX impacts. Consolidated Results

 

 

Operating expenses (in € million) Quarter - on - quarter, expenses excluding regulatory costs and incidental items increased 1.3%. This was mainly due to higher staff and IT expenses. Regulatory costs were €109 million and rose year - on - year, mainly because 3Q2022 had included a lower contribution to the deposit guarantee scheme in Germany. Incidental expense items in 3Q2023 amounted to €122 million, reflecting €46 million of restructuring and related costs for Retail Belgium, €26 million of hyperinflation accounting impacts on expenses in Türkiye (due to the accounting requirements of IAS 29) and €51 million that we have provisioned in Corporate Line. This compares with €85 million of incidental items in 3Q2022 and €6 million in 2Q2023. Addition to loan loss provisions Net additions to loan loss provisions amounted to €183 million. This is equivalent to 11 basis points of average customer lending and well below the through - the - cycle average. Stage 3 risk costs were €238 million. This reflected Stage 3 individual risk costs for a number of smaller individual clients in Wholesale Banking and collective Stage 3 risk costs in the consumer lending and business lending portfolio of Retail Banking (spread across various locations). Total Stage 1 and 2 risk costs (including modifications) were € - 54 million. This included a €60 million net release of Stage 2 provisions for our Russia - related portfolio (mainly due to a further reduction of our exposure), a net reduction in management overlays and the impact of a number of smaller individual clients moving to Stage 3. Addition to loan loss provisions (in € million) Risk costs for Retail Banking were €166 million, mainly reflecting net additions in Belgium, Germany and Poland. Wholesale Banking recorded €15 million of risk costs, which included a €44 million release for our Russia - related portfolio (consisting of a €60 million release in Stage 2 and a €16 million addition in Stage 3). The Corporate Line recorded €3 million of risk costs, reflecting hyperinflation accounting impacts on risk costs in Türkiye (due to the accounting requirements of IAS 29). Net result ING’s net result in 3Q2023 was €1,982 million compared with €979 million in 3Q2022 and €2,155 million in the prior quarter. The effective tax rate in 3Q2023 was 28.5% compared with 30.9% in 3Q2022 and 26.9% in 2Q2023 (the latter quarter included a tax refund in Spain and lower non - deductible expenses in Türkiye and the Netherlands). In 3Q2023, ING’s return on average IFRS - EU equity was 16.0%. On a four - quarter rolling basis, the return on equity further increased to 13.8% from 11.7% in the previous four - quarter rolling period, reflecting continued strong performance. Return on equity ING Group (in %) ING’s return on equity is calculated using IFRS - EU shareholders' equity after excluding 'reserved profit not included in CET1 capital', which amounted to €1,709 million at the end of 3Q2023. This reflects 50% of the resilient net profit in the first nine months of 2023, which has been reserved for distribution in line with our policy, minus the 2023 interim dividend that was paid in August. ING Press Release 3Q2023 5 Resilient net profit is defined as net profit adjusted for significant items that are not linked to the normal course of business. In line with this definition, and consistent with previous quarters, the impact of hyperinflation accounting has been excluded. Therefore, resilient net profit was €121 million higher than net profit in 3Q2023. Consolidated Results

The decrease on the asset side of the balance sheet was mainly visible in loans and advances to banks and in customer lending. Loans and advances to banks declined by €8.2 billion, largely because of less reverse repo business. Customer lending decreased by €6.0 billion, mainly due to movements in Treasury lending, subdued loan demand in Wholesale Banking and our focus on further optimising our capital usage. Other assets declined by €2.4 billion, reflecting lower financial assets pending settlement. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss rose by €6.0 billion due to higher trading assets, while financial assets at fair value through OCI increased by €1.4 billion due to higher investments in bonds. Cash and balances with central banks increased by €3.1 billion. Assets held for sale relate to a legacy portfolio in Germany. On the liability side of the balance sheet, the main decrease was €14.0 billion in customer deposits. This was largely caused by movements in Treasury and Retail deposits. In Retail Banking this was mainly due to a shift from deposits to assets under management, seasonality (as customers spend more during the summer holiday period) and customers buying retail bonds issued by the Belgian government, partly compensated by an inflow in non - eurozone countries. Furthermore, deposits from banks decreased by €4.8 billion due to reduced funding needs for Treasury. These movements were partly offset by an increase of €6.6 billion in debt securities in issue, of which €4.7 billion was in CD/CP and €1.9 billion in other debt securities in issue. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss rose by €5.4 billion due to higher trading liabilities, roughly mirroring the movement on the assets side. Shareholders’ equity Shareholders’ equity increased by €975 million, supported by the €1,982 million net result recorded in 3Q2023. This was partly offset by the payment of the €1,260 million interim dividend in August. Shareholders’ equity per share increased to €14.77 on 30 September 2023 from €14.07 on 30 June 2023.

The increase of both the Tier 1 and the Total Capital ratios mirrors trends in the CET1 ratio. The leverage ratio increased to 5.0% due to a decline in total assets, combined with an increase in Tier 1 capital. Risk - weighted assets (RWA) The decrease in total RWA mainly reflects lower credit RWA. ING Group: Composition of RWA ING Press Release 3Q2023 7 30 June 2023 30 Sep. 2023 in € billion 272.6 270.8 Credit RWA 35.0 35.0 Operational RWA 15.3 15.0 Market RWA 322.9 320.8 Total RWA Excluding a € 0 . 4 billion FX impact, credit RWA decreased by € 2 . 2 billion, mainly due to a better profile of the loan book (€ - 1 . 1 billion) and a further decrease of our Russia - related exposure (€ - 1 . 0 billion) . Operational RWA remained flat. Market RWA decreased by €0.4 billion, mainly due to a reduction in trading book positions. Distribution ING has reserved €1,052 million of the 3Q2023 net profit for distribution. Resilient net profit in 3Q2023 (which is defined as net profit adjusted for significant items not linked to the normal course of business) was €2,103 million. This includes a positive adjustment to the reported net result of €121 million, related to hyperinflation accounting according to IAS 29 in the consolidation of our subsidiary in Türkiye. In line with our distribution policy, an interim dividend over 1H2023 of €0.35 per share was paid on 14 August 2023 (representing approximately 1/3 of the 1H2023 resilient net profit). The additional distribution of €1.5 billion, as announced on 11 May 2023, was completed. A total of 121.3 million ordinary shares had been repurchased by 13 October 2023. 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 €2.5 billion or a maximum of 300 million shares. The buyback programme will have an impact of roughly 78 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 buffer requirements) of 10.98%. This requirement has increased compared with 2Q2023 (10.93%) due to the phase - in of various countercyclical buffers. ING’s fully loaded CET1 requirement stood at 10.83% in 3Q2023, which is lower than the prevailing CET1 ratio requirement as a result of a 0.50% lower O - SII (Other Systemically Important Institutions) buffer requirement effective as of 31 May 2024. This is partly offset by various countercyclical buffers becoming effective over the coming quarters. The increase in the fully loaded CET1 requirement to 10.83% (2Q2023: 10.70%) reflects the re - activation of the countercyclical buffer in Belgium to 1% from 4Q2024 which will be phased 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. The intermediate MREL requirements are 27.79% of RWA and 5.97% of leverage exposure. The MREL surplus based on RWA of €17.1 billion mirrors trends in the Total capital ratio and was furthermore impacted by the issuance of HoldCo instruments ($3.0 billion). The MREL surplus based on leverage ratio (LR) mirrors trends in the leverage ratio. Capital, Liquidity and Funding

This was partly offset by maturities amounting to €3.0 billion. A €0.85 billion Green RMBS and a €1.75 billion dual tranche Opco Senior were issued in September but only settled in October; therefore, they do not yet show up in the long - term debt maturity ladder for 3Q2023.

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, findings 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 - financial 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 rose year - on - year, driven by a strong increase in liability margins. Interest income from mortgages also rose, driven by higher volumes and margins. These increases were largely offset, however, by lower Treasury - related interest income (compensated in other income), reflecting activities to benefit from favourable market opportunities through money market and FX transactions. Sequentially, net interest income declined due to Treasury, as well as to lower interest income from liabilities, reflecting the increase of savings rates. Fee income grew year - on - year, supported by higher fees for payment packages and new service fees. Sequentially, fee income also rose, partly reflecting seasonally higher customer travel - related fees. Other income increased on both comparable quarters, driven by much higher Treasury - related income (that was partly offset by lower net interest income). Net core lending grew by €0.7 billion in 3Q2023, reflecting higher mortgage volumes, while business lending was stable. Net core deposits declined by €1.1 billion due to seasonality (as customer spend more during the summer holiday period), and a shift from deposits to assets under management (particularly in the private banking segment). This decrease was partly compensated by higher deposits from business clients. Excluding regulatory costs and €75 million of incidental items in 3Q2022, expenses increased both year - on - year and sequentially, mainly due to higher staff and marketing expenses. The incidental costs in 3Q2022 had to do with a provision for the compensation to customers for certain Dutch consumer products. Risk costs were € - 1 million and included a release from management overlays in the business lending portfolio, while additions remained on a low level. Retail Belgium (including Luxembourg) Net interest income increased both year - on - year and sequentially, as higher income from liabilities more than compensated for the impact of lower margins on mortgages due to higher funding costs. Fee income increased on both comparable quarters. Year - on - year, this was mainly attributable to higher fees on investment products. Sequentially, the growth in fee income was primarily driven by daily banking due to seasonality and lower commissions paid to agents. In 3Q2022, other income had included an impact of € - 247 million to unwind a macro fair value hedge. Net core lending decreased by € 1 . 4 billion, as € 0 . 5 billion of growth in mortgages was more than offset by a € 1 . 9 billion decline in business lending . Net core deposits declined by €2.3 billion, mainly attributable to customers buying retail bonds issued by the Belgian government in September and a shift to assets under management. Expenses were higher as the third quarter of 2023 included €46 million of incidental cost items related to restructuring and a further optimisation of the branch network, while 2Q2023 had €10 million of restructuring costs. Expenses excluding regulatory costs and the aforementioned incidental items increased on both comparable quarters, mainly due to the impact of automatic salary indexation. Risk costs were €50 million, including an increase in Stage 3 provisions for a small number of business lending clients and higher collective provisions on mortgages, reflecting a decline in house prices.

Retail Germany Net interest income rose strongly year - on - year. This was supported by higher liability volumes at significantly improved margins and by an increase in interest income from mortgages. Sequentially, the pace of growth in net interest income diminished due to increased client rates. Fee income declined compared with 3Q2022, mainly due to a lower number of brokerage trades in investment products. Sequentially, fee income increased, primarily driven by higher fees from mortgage brokerage. Other income increased from both comparable quarters, reflecting higher Treasury - related income. Net core lending growth in 3Q2023 was €0.7 billion and largely driven by mortgages. After an exceptional increase of €16.3 billion in the previous quarter, net core deposits declined by €5.7 billion. This reflected intensified competition and a shift to assets under management. Expenses excluding regulatory costs increased year - on - year, predominantly due to higher staff expenses related to annual salary increases and investments in business growth. Sequentially, expenses excluding regulatory costs rose, mainly attributable to investments in business growth and seasonality in marketing expenses. Regulatory costs in 3Q2022 had included an adjustment to the deposit guarantee contributions. Risk costs were €46 million and primarily related to consumer lending and mortgages. Retail Other Net interest income year - on - year was supported by higher margins on liabilities, most notably in Spain and Poland. This more than compensated for negative currency impacts and tighter lending margins. Net interest income in 3Q2022 had included € - 343 million for the Polish mortgage moratorium. Sequentially, margins on liabilities increased, while margins on lending declined. Fee income rose compared with both prior periods, mainly driven by higher fees in daily banking; sequentially, fees from investment products also increased. Other income decreased on both comparable quarters due to lower Treasury - related results, while 3Q2022 had included €100 million of income from the transfer of our investment business in France and €38 million of proceeds from the sale of a non - performing loan portfolio in Spain. Net core lending increased by €0.5 billion in 3Q2023, mainly due to higher mortgage volumes in Spain, Poland and Australia. Net core deposits growth was €4.5 billion, largely driven by net inflows in Poland and Australia. Expenses in 3Q2023 included a €14 million release from a legal provision compared with an addition of €21 million in 3Q2022, while in 2Q2023 a restructuring provision of €12 million was recorded. Expenses – excluding regulatory costs and the aforementioned provisions – rose on both comparable quarters. This was mainly due to inflationary pressure on staff expenses, which year - on - year was partly offset by cost savings following the discontinuation of our retail activities in France and the Philippines, and FX impacts in Türkiye. Risk costs were €72 million with net additions mainly in Poland and Spain. Segment Reporting: Retail Banking

Wholesale Banking recorded another strong quarter with a result before tax of €1,037 million, up 46% on 3Q2022. Combined with disciplined capital management, this led to a return on equity of 16.7% and an improvement in income over average risk - weighted assets. Expense development was flat compared with the previous quarter, while the growth in expenses year - on - year reflects the impact of collective labour agreements and inflationary pressure, as well as investments to support business growth. Risk costs were again low as additions for a few individual clients were largely offset by a € 44 million release for our Russia - related portfolio . Net core lending growth was € - 2.8 billion, reflecting subdued demand, our focus on further optimising our capital usage and a continued reduction of our Russia - related exposure. Lending income held up well. Net interest income increased on both comparable periods, supported by higher average asset volumes. Fee income rose year - on - year as 3Q2023 included one large deal, but could not match the level from 2Q2023 when a number of sizeable deals was recorded. Other income declined as 3Q2022 had included a €20 million positive fair value adjustment. Income from Daily Banking & Trade Finance increased strongly year - on - year, driven by higher Payments & Cash Management (PCM) income, which benefited from higher interest rates. This was partly offset by lower income from Trade & Commodity Finance due to lower commodity prices and volumes. Sequentially, the lower income mainly reflected slightly lower volumes for both PCM and Working Capital Solutions. This contributed to a net core deposits growth of € - 2.4 billion for the quarter. Income from Financial Markets increased significantly year - on - year, as ongoing volatility driven by interest rate hikes led to positive valuation adjustments and higher trading results. The third quarter of 2023 also included a €61 million gain from the release of reserves. Compared with 2Q2023, total income was supported by this reserve release and by solid trading results as markets stabilised quarter - on - quarter. This was partly offset by seasonally lower Global Capital Markets income. Third - quarter 2023 income from Treasury & Other rose strongly year - on - year, mainly because of a change in the impacts of revaluations and hedge ineffectiveness in Treasury, coupled with positive fair value adjustments in Corporate Investments. In addition, 3Q2022 had included a € - 41 million hedge accounting impact in Belgium that was partly offset by a €25 million TLTRO III benefit. Sequentially, income rose slightly, mainly due to the positive fair value adjustments in Corporate Investments. This more than compensated for lower Corporate Finance fees.

Total income in 3Q2023 included an € - 88 million IAS 29 impact, reflecting the application of hyperinflation accounting in the consolidation of our subsidiary in Türkiye. The impact on income was higher than in both comparable quarters, reflecting a higher level of inflation in Türkiye. Excluding this IAS 29 impact, total income decreased by €18 million year - on - year. This was mostly due to lower results from foreign currency ratio hedging (reflecting lower interest differentials, as EUR interest rates increased more than the interest rates of other currencies), partly offset by higher capital charges received from ING entities. Compared with 2Q2023, total income excluding IAS 29 impacts increased by €55 million, mainly reflecting the annual dividend from our stake in the Bank of Beijing recorded in 3Q2023 (€98 million). The third quarter of 2023 included €76 million of incidental cost items, consisting of €26 million of hyperinflation accounting impacts on expenses in Türkiye (versus €10 million in 3Q2022 and €6 million in 2Q2023) and €51 million that we have provisioned. Expenses excluding incidental items decreased by €12 million year - on - year. This was mainly due to one - off restructuring and insurance expenses that had been recorded in 3Q2022. Sequentially, excluding incidental items, expenses were relatively stable. Segment Reporting: Corporate Line
