Operating performance
0 5 Operating performance of the second quarter was good Revenues held up remarkably well despite the weak economy Expenses have continued to come down, driven by WCS and BU US Efficiency ratio has further improved Revenues Q2 2002
0 6 Good performance in C&CC was driven by all franchises Revenues stable Expenses higher due to incidentals in BU NL Strong performance despite adverse currency movements Operating result Q2 2002
0 7 BU NL restructuring is on track Revenues increased due to higher net interest revenue Expenses up due to incidentals but staff costs trending down Conversion of the branch network is on track. Target of EUR 400 mln annual cost savings as of 2004 is maintained Revenues Q2 2002
0 8 BU US posted another quarter of growth and improved efficiency Revenues went up by 7.1% in local currency: mortgage origination stabilised, value of mortgage servicing rights increased Expenses came down due to strict cost control and lower mortgage related expenses Revenues Q2 2002
0 9 Strong performance in BU Brazil despite market volatility Revenues were up 1.4% in local currency In local currency, expenses were up 10.1% driven by higher staff costs and automation costs related to the opening of new branches Effective tax rate is an integral part of the BU operating efficiency. Net profit increased by 68.2% to EUR 143 mln Revenues Q2 2002
0 10 PC and AM were affected by difficult market conditions PC commissions and asset values were down, particularly in France and International Private Banking. Operating performance was affected by higher expenses, in part due to further investments in the Dutch franchise Resilient AM revenues despite the significant reduction in the value of AuM and associated revenues, in line with market conditions. Costs were contained enabling AM to deliver a satisfactory operating performance Revenues Q2 2002
0 11 WCS improved its operating performance despite weak markets Modest decline in revenues due in part to stable flow business Expenses sharply down, driven by TOPS, strict cost control and the closure of US Equity & Corporate Finance domestic business Operating result and efficiency ratio improved significantly Revenues Q2 2002
Update on WCS
0 13 Restructuring decisions have begun to pay off in first half of 2002 Overall revenues down in the first half of 2002, with more stable flow revenues mitigating the downturn in volatile businesses Cost base reflects the positive impact of the restructuring decisions, particularly TOPS and US domestic closures Expenses have come down sharply and we expect it to fall by an additional 5% in the second half of 2002 Aggressive capital management has remained a key theme. Target of RWA reduction of EUR 20 bn will be achieved by year end. A further EUR 10 bn reduction is targeted by 2004

Asset Quality and Capital
0 19 Unprecedented level of corporate failures drove provisioning up Provisioning rose sharply due to an unprecedented level of corporate failures triggered by perceived fraudulent practices Decrease expected in HY02, barring any force majeure Slightly higher level for the year assumed due to Q2 levels Quality of the portfolio remains satisfactory Annualised provisions / RWA (%)
0 20 Tier 1 has improved despite Brazil Adverse currency movements have impacted Tier 1 solvency The impact of Brazil was 19 basis points in the second quarter The capital release from RWA reduction in WCS has improved Tier 1 ratio (EUR bn) / % change / Total assets Shareholders’ equity Group capital Risk-weighted assets Tier 1 ratio Total capital ratio % 10.80% % 10.91% 1.7 (6.5) (7.9) (8.4) (1.2) (4.5) (9.8) (12.4)
0 21 Optimal Tier 1 & 2 ratios are a function of several factors Optimal capital structure is a function of cash-flows and asset quality Sustainability of the income stream Asset quality and levels of provisioning Effective tax rate Pay out ratio (policy is 45 to 50%) Proportion of cash dividend (approx. 40%)
0 22 ABN AMRO has high coverage ratios Operations are cash generative Cash-flow is sustainable Historically, pay out ratio and cash proportion of dividend have led to a retention of at least 70% Coverage ratios are high at half year 2002 Operating income / Provisioning : 2.8x Net attrib. Profit / Cash dividend: 3.2x PBT / [taxes, extraordinaries, cash dividend]:1.8x
Outlook
0 24 Outlook unchanged Given the level of corporate failures in the second quarter, we have assumed a slightly higher level of provisioning for the year We expect net profit, excluding extraordinary items, to be in line with 2001 Interim dividend stable at EUR 0.45 per ordinary share
