Österreichische Volksbanken-Aktiengesellschaft /Quarterly Report

Q3 2009 result: Operating income of euro 307 million, consolidated net income falls to euro -607 million due to risk provisions

The Managing Board of Österreichische Volksbanken-Aktiengesellschaft announced on 6 November 2009 that ÖVAG Group generated operating income of euro 307 million in the first three quarters of 2009.

However, risk provisions and corrections in the valuation of participations drove down consolidated net income to euro - 607 million before tax as of 30 September 2009.

Despite the negative result in the third quarter, ÖVAG on a Group basis has a core capital ratio of 8.5 %, which exceed the statutory minimum and an equity ratio of 11 %.

For the fourth quarter, further effects are expected from the valuation of participations and the increase in risk provisions, but to a lesser extent than in the third quarter.

Due to the continuing difficult economic environment, a distribution in 2011 for the 2010 fiscal year on profit-related securities is unlikely from today´s viewpoint.
Publication of the final 2009 results is planned for April 2010.
