We expect three themes – consolidation, restructuring, and valuation divergence – to distinguish performance among banks within an outperforming sector. In this context, we update our long-only model portfolio and highlight our top pair trade ideas. Our new portfolio comprises RBS, UBS, Credit Agricole, BNP Paribas, SanPaoloIMI, Capitalia, BPM and Deutsche Postbank (all OP/A). Industry consolidation seems imminent Extraordinary share price performance can be inspired by premium bids (for targets) or earnings upgrades from accretive purchases (for acquirers); recent activity suggests that the sector may be on the cusp of a consolidation wave, and we expect bank stocks to move accordingly. Among the potential consolidators, we favour BNP Paribas (OP/A) over ABN AMRO (IL/A); among the potential targets, we favour Deutsche Postbank (OP/A) over Commerzbank (U/A), and small Italian over small Iberian banks. Not all restructuring stories are the same We find that some restructuring plans are more credible than others; we prefer Credit Suisse (IL/A) over Deutsche Bank (U/A), HVB Group (IL/A) over Commerzbank (U/A), Credit Agricole (OP/A) over ABN AMRO (IL/A), and in Italy we prefer UniCredito, SanPaoloIMI, Capitalia and BPM (all OP/A) over BPVN (U/A) and Intesa, BNL and Antonveneta (all IL/A). Valuation divergence looks unsustainably high among some bank pairs Valuation divergence across the sector rebounded to the long-term average during 2H2004; but some bank pairs overshot this trend and look due to correct (i.e. converge). We favour BNP (OP/A) over SocGen (IL/A) and Santander (IL/A) over BBVA (IL/A). The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports.

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 Europe Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 Banks Europe Banks Executive summary: Apples and pairs We expect three themes – consolidation, restructuring, and valuation divergence – to distinguish performance among banks within an outperforming sector. In the context of these themes, we update our long-only model portfolio (given 100 units to invest with a greater-than-three-month view), which now comprises RBS, UBS, Credit Agricole, BNP Paribas, SanPaoloIMI, Capitalia, BP Milano and Deutsche Postbank (all OP/A). We also highlight nine pair trade ideas that were inspired by each of these three themes. Reiterating our Attractive coverage view; our portfolio strategists also remain Overweight banks Our portfolio strategists remain Overweight the banks as GARP screens are back in fashion (in which banks perform well), high cash yield remains a worthy investment theme (and many banks offer shareholder-friendly capital policies), and investors seek shelter from two worrying macro-trends (high oil prices and a falling US dollar) to which the banks have limited exposure. However, there are several potential risks to our bullish sector stance; these include macro risk in Germany (i.e. surprisingly large corporate provisions), rising price competition on deposits, sudden rate moves in Euroland, a US dollar rally, credit card regulation (mainly a UK issue), and potential forced consolidation within the industry that could destroy value. Pan-European banks poised for consolidation? Cash generation and strong balance sheets have become a hallmark of the European banks; we expect increasing dividends and share buybacks to drive performance this year. But premium bids (for targets) or earnings upgrades from accretive purchases (for acquirers) would generate the greatest scope for outperformance. Recent activity – e.g., Santander (IL/A) and Abbey, Danske Bank (NR) in Ireland – suggests that the sector may be on the verge of a consolidation wave. Among the potential buyers, we favour BNP Paribas (OP/A) over ABN AMRO (IL/A); among the potential targets, we favour Deutsche Postbank (OP/A) over Commerzbank (U/A), and small Italian – e.g., Capitalia (OP/A), BPM (OP/A) and Credem (IL/A) – over small Iberian banks – e.g., Bankinter (U/A), Banco Popular Espanol (IL/A) and BCP (U/A). Some restructuring plans are more credible than others Four of the five top performing banks last year were plays on a restructuring theme; while restructuring stories are likely to remain in vogue this year, we expect the market to be more discerning than it seemed to be in 2004. Some restructuring plans appear more credible than others, and we believe investors will start to distinguish among them. We prefer Credit Suisse (IL/A) over Deutsche Bank (U/A), HVB Group (IL/A) over Commerzbank (U/A), Credit Agricole (OP/A) over ABN AMRO (IL/A). In Italy, we would prefer UniCredito, SanPaoloIMI, Capitalia and BPM (all OP/A) over Intesa, BNL and Antonveneta (all IL/A) and BPVN (U/A). Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 1 Europe Banks Valuation divergence looks unsustainably high between some bank pairs Valuation divergence across the sector rebounded in 2H2004, when the coefficient of variation (CoV) of two-year-forward P/E multiples for the banks rose from 19% to 32% (versus a ten-year average of 28%). However, certain bank pairs overshot this trend and look due to correct (i.e. converge). Among these, we favour BNP Paribas (OP/A) over Societe Generale (IL/A) and Santander (IL/A) over BBVA (IL/A). Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 2 Europe Banks Part I: What to own? We introduced the new Goldman Sachs pan-European banks long-only model portfolio on January 14, 2005 (in PanEuropean Banks: The Weekly Check Book). Here we update our portfolio, and we also highlight preferences between banks pairs, relative to the three themes – consolidation, restructuring, and valuation divergence – that we believe will distinguish performance among banks this year. Given 100 units to invest (long-only) with a greater-than-three-month view… We highlight the eight names that make up our model portfolio. Given 100 units to invest in a long-only portfolio with a greater-than-three-month view, we would hold the following stocks in proportion to the following relative weightings: RBS (25 units), UBS (20 units), Credit Agricole (15 units), BNP Paribas (10 units), SanPaoloIMI (10 units), Capitalia (10 units), BPM (5 units) and Deutsche Postbank (5 units), all of which we rate OP/A. These weightings reflect both our relative conviction in each investment idea, as well as more practical considerations (e.g., liquidity constraints). Since inception (January 14, 2005), our model portfolio has provided 6.1% in absolute performance, or 1.1% performance relative to the FTSE banks index.

We forecast strong income growth (despite US dollar weakness), improved efficiency and better credit trends, and expect ongoing investments (the bears’ current focus) to inspire better cost/income in 2005. On all our valuation metrics, RBS is the standout among domestic UK banks. In addition to valuation support, RBS incurs less forecasting risk than the other UK banks given its greater earnings diversity (by business line and geography).

We believe that UBS offers the best risk/reward trade-off of our three European brokerage stocks; our SOTP valuation indicates 16% potential upside at UBS, compared with 8% at Credit Suisse and 0% at Deutsche Bank. In addition, we do not believe that the market has sufficiently recognised the value of UBS’ private banking operations; in our view, UBS is better poised than its peers for long-term growth given the sizeable investment in its onshore private banking network. It trades on 9.4x 2006E earnings (an 8% discount to the sector) and offers a 9% yield for 2005E (including dividend and share buybacks). Since 1999, UBS has returned more than 100% of cumulative net income to shareholders via dividends and buybacks, and we do not anticipate any change to this generous capital policy.

While revenue momentum in domestic retail, consumer finance and asset management (along with further merger- and non-merger related cost improvements) drives gross operating profit, integration within CIB is running ahead of plan (we expect to see the full impact of 2004E synergies this year, while consensus estimates currently suggest continued weakness in CIB revenues). Our sum-of-theparts-derived fair value implies a compelling 34% potential upside, and valuation (8.2x 2006E cash earnings) remains supportive. 0.0 GS P/NAV (05) Div. yield (05E) GS P/E (06E) Source: Datastream, Goldman Sachs Research estimates.

We expect that a benign French macro environment will continue to drive strong domestic Retail Banking revenues, while improving corporate loan growth will inspire steady development within Corporate and Investment Banking. We favour BNP Paribas over SocGen (IL/A) due to its greater earnings visibility (from consolidation of US-based acquisitions), lower CIB volatility (CIB returns are 20% less predictable at SocGen than at BNP Paribas), and valuation (BNP trades at a 4% discount to SocGen, on 2006E P/E multiples).

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 5 Banks Europe Selected metrics: SanPaoloIMI vs. European mkt-cap weighted avg Our positive stance on SanPaoloIMI is inspired, in part, by our confidence in the capacity of the new General Manager (Mr Modiano) to do for SanPaoloIMI what he did for UniCredito (OP/A); that is, we expect Mr Modiano’s GS ROAE (05E) 1.5 T1 ratio (04) 1.0 0.5 GS ROAA (05E) 0.0 Div. yield (05E) SanPaoloIMI (OP/A), fair value EUR11.7, implied upside 4% GS P/NAV (05) arrival to correspond with an increase in SanPaolo’s risk appetite, driving corporate loan growth (up to sector standards) and higher-margin lending (from structured solutions, add-on services and fees). We estimate the potential impact of this ‘Modiano effect’ at EUR170 mn incremental net earnings (not in our current forecasts) from the commercial banking division. This opportunity is non-trivial in a group context, adding a potential 10% to 2006E group net income or EUR1.8 bn to market value (EUR0.96 per share), which increases the implied upside (relative to SOTP-derived fair value) from 4% to 13%.

We estimate that a new lay-off plan could add 8.4% to Capitalia’s market value; meanwhile, we remain confident in Capitalia management’s ability to drive revenues from current (low) levels. As management focus has shifted from the balance sheet to the top line, we see opportunities from (1) increased mortgage sales, assuming that Banca di Roma can improve its sales rate from the current level of one mortgage per branch per month, (2) improved funding costs at Banco di Sicilia, where it currently pays 66 bp above the sector average, (3) growth in customer deposits, leading to a 120 bp potential mark-down, and (4) an increased AuM ratio at Banco di Sicilia.

Postbank has cheap funding, nationwide distribution, a pure retail mix, and a cost advantage over its domestic competition; as a result, we believe that Postbank is a structurally more profitable business than the German operations of its peers, Commerzbank (U/A) and HVB Group (IL/A). Our SOTP-derived fair value implies 6% upside from current levels, but this upside does not reflect three positive catalysts (potential re-deployment of surplus liquidity, rate gearing option, and consolidation speculation) which investors currently get “for free”. 0.0 Div. yield (05E) GS P/NAV (05) GS P/E (06E) Source: Datastream, Goldman Sachs Research estimates. Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 7 Europe Banks Three themes – consolidation, restructuring, and valuation divergence – drive our pair preferences Recent corporate activity suggests that the banks sector may be on the cusp of a consolidation wave; among the potential consolidators, we favour BNP over ABN; among the potential targets, we favour DPB over Commerzbank, and small Italian over small Iberian banks. We find that some restructuring plans are more credible than others; we prefer Credit Suisse over Deutsche Bank, HVB over Commerzbank, Credit Agricole over ABN, and in Italy we prefer UniCredito, SanPaoloIMI, Capitalia and BPM over BPVN, Intesa, BNL and Antonveneta. Valuation divergence looks unsustainably high for some bank pairs; we favour BNP over Societe Generale and Santander over BBVA.

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 8 Europe Banks Stock preferences relative to Theme #1: Consolidation Cash generation and strong balance sheets have become a hallmark of the European banks; we anticipate increasing dividends and buybacks to drive performance this year. But the greatest hope for performance lies in the prospect for premium bids (for targets) or earnings upgrades from accretive purchases (for acquirers). Recent activity – e.g., Santander (IL/A) and Abbey, Danske Bank (NR) in Ireland – suggests that the sector may be on the verge of a consolidation wave. In this context, we favour: • BNP Paribas (OP/A) over ABN AMRO (IL/A): Both are likely consolidators (as opposed to targets); however, BNP Paribas has greater purchasing power in the form of surplus capital (we estimate EUR5.3 bn for BNP versus EUR3.0 bn for ABN), a better track record on valuation discipline (BNP’s last three deals are estimated to be accretive in year one), and a more developed growth platform on which to build by strategic acquisition (BancWest now accounts for over 10% of forecast group net income at BNP Paribas). • Deutsche Postbank (OP/A) over Commerzbank (U/A): In our view, cross-border consolidation involving German banks is unlikely because the German banks are expensive, the political resistance to a potential intruder could prove formidable, and the financial gains for a foreign acquirer would likely be limited (given the paltry retail penetration and massive wholesale assets held by HVB Group, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank). We consider domestic consolidation a more likely scenario. We see the German banks suffering from three key problems: limited retail market share, funding risk from high loan/deposit ratios, and unfavourable wholesale-dominated business mixes. In this context, an ideal domestic target would offer high retail penetration, a liquid balance sheet, and a retail-dominated business mix. These are the characteristics of Deutsche Postbank (along with the regional savings banks, which cannot be bought for legal reasons). While both stocks have benefited from consolidation speculation, we believe it is Deutsche Postbank (rather than Commerzbank) that characterises a potentially attractive acquisition target under a (more likely) scenario of domestic consolidation. • Capitalia (OP/A), BP Milano (OP/A) and Credem (IL/A) over Bankinter (U/A), Banco Popular Espanol (IL/A) and BCP (U/A): Small Italian banks, along with small Spanish and Portuguese banks, have been supported by consolidation speculation; however, we believe consolidation involving the Italian banks is more likely. Small Spanish banks (average 12.4x 2006E cash earnings) trade at an even greater premium to the sector (10.3x) than do small Italian banks (11.3x). The potential for significant cost synergies is greater for the less efficient small Italian banks (average cost/income 70%) than it is for the Iberian targets (average cost/income 52%). In addition, we see greater opportunities for top-line growth at Italian versus Spanish and Portuguese banks, given their greater scope to increase SME lending as the Italian economy recovers, and to expand the mortgage and consumer finance businesses, which remain relatively underpenetrated in Italy. Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 9 Europe Banks Stock preferences relative to Theme #2: Restructuring Four of the five top performing banks last year were plays on a restructuring theme; while restructuring stories are likely to remain in vogue this year, we expect the market to be more discerning than it seemed to be in 2004. Some restructuring plans appear more credible than others, and we believe investors will start to distinguish among them. Therefore, we prefer: • Credit Suisse (IL/A) over Deutsche Bank (U/A): We believe that the comparison between Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse has become more relevant now that both stocks are viewed as restructuring stories. In our view, Credit Suisse is a more attractive story than its German peer for four reasons: (1) Credit Suisse still has non-core assets of which it intends to dispose (e.g., Winterthur), while Deutsche Bank’s strategy of disposing of non-core businesses is almost complete; (2) Credit Suisse is just beginning to resume its strategy of returning capital to shareholders via increased dividend payments and share buybacks, while Deutsche Bank has already returned EUR7.9 bn to shareholders over the past three years; (3) there is greater room for profit improvement at CSFB than there is for a turnaround at Deutsche Bank’s PCAM given the difficult operating environment in Germany, the lack of acquisition candidates and the challenges associated with turning around Deutsche Asset Management; and (4) we see greater valuation support for Credit Suisse, which trades at a 12% discount to Deutsche Bank on our 2006E cash earnings multiples. • HVB Group (IL/A) over Commerzbank (U/A): The credibility of HVB Group’s restructuring plan was buttressed by the recent arrival of two new managers. Christine Licci joined from Citigroup (NC), where she proved that not all German retail banking operations need lack profitability (Citigroup’s consumer finance operation in Germany, managed by Licci, maintained an ROE of around 30%); and Johann Berger joined from Hypo Real Estate (IL/A), where he successfully restructured a troubled domestic business (by the sale of EUR3.6 bn of NPLs, significant cost reductions, etc.). In contrast, Commerzbank’s restructuring efforts, which are focused on its investment banking operations, are proving rather painful. Commerzbank’s estimate of restructuringinspired revenue attrition (presented with its 3Q results) is looking increasingly conservative as headcount turnover in (profitable) derivatives and ECM businesses continues to rise. In addition, prior to the recent headcount reductions, investment banking accounted for 10% of group equity, 20% of revenues, 19% of direct costs and 30% of allocated costs. This final proportion (30% of allocated costs) is the sticking point. Pre-restructuring, investment banking absorbed almost one-third of total back-office expenses (flattering the performance of other divisions); post-restructuring, watch for rising costs, possibly in the corporate centre. • Credit Agricole (OP/A) over ABN AMRO (IL/A): Contrary to the widespread post-acquisition skepticism articulated by some investors who did not believe that tangible cost synergies could result from CIB integration, Credit Agricole management is delivering ahead of plan (EUR300 mn in synergies were realised by end of September 2004 versus a full-year target of EUR275 mn). We expect to see the full impact of 2004 integration this year and we believe that the integration-related revenue trough should be behind us, contrary to consensus estimates which imply continued weakness in CIB revenues. ABN AMRO Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 10 Europe Banks management released a statement (December 16, 2004) indicating that headcount reductions from back-office and investment banking operations (2,850 FTEs) would be greater than previously announced; however, related savings will not be realised until 2007, there is still no word on potential revenue impact of these cuts, and the subsequent one-off charge (EUR790 mn) has proven non-trivial in a year when revenues fell (versus 2003). • UniCredito, SanPaoloIMI, Capitalia and BPM (all OP/A) over Intesa, BNL and Antonveneta (all IL/A) and BPVN (U/A): The Italian banking sector is awash with restructuring stories; but some appear more credible and/or promising to us than others. For instance, UniCredito management is targeting (realistically, in our view) a 5% efficiency improvement to drive net profit up to EUR3 bn by 2007; given its discount to the sector (on forward cash earning multiples), we believe that such restructuring efforts will prove supportive for UniCredito shares. Our positive call on SanPaoloIMI is driven, in part, by our confidence in the capacity of the new General Manager (Mr Modiano) to do for SanPaoloIMI what he did for UniCredito; that is, we expect Mr Modiano’s arrival to correspond with an increase in SanPaolo’s risk appetite, driving corporate loan growth (up to sector standards) and higher-margin lending (from structured solutions, add-on services and fees). For Capitalia, we anticipate a restructuring announcement that could add more than 8% of incremental market value. We believe that the current level of staffing is becoming unjustifiable; relative to the sector average, Capitalia (ex-Bipop) employs 35% more employees per branch, and its staff cost / revenues ratio is 16% higher than its Italian peers. We are confident that BPM’s new CEO (Mr Viola) will execute on his (five-point) business plan, which includes improving cost/income to 65% (from current 79%, the highest among the Italian banks we cover) by 1H2005, growing net profit to EUR279 mn by 2006, internal restructuring aimed at cutting foreign branches and IT costs, headcount reduction target of (minimum) 300 employees, and the intention to harvest (low-yielding) financial assets to fund retail lending. Meanwhile, the restructuring efforts at Intesa and BPVN have run their course, and Antonveneta (on 13.3x 2006E cash earnings) and BNL (on 11.6x) shares are trading at a 30% and 14% premium to the sector (respectively), driven mainly by consolidation speculation. Stock preferences relative to Theme #3: Valuation divergence Valuation divergence across the sector rebounded in 2H2004, when the coefficient of variation of two-year-forward P/E multiples for the banks rose from 19% to 32% (versus a ten-year average of 28%). However, some bank pairs overshot this trend and look due to correct (i.e. converge). Among these, we favour: • BNP Paribas (OP/A) over Societe Generale (IL/A): Societe Generale’s premium to BNP Paribas (on 2005E cash earnings multiples) has increased from 4% to 7% over the past 15 months; we believe this valuation gap is due to close. In contrast to recent and relative P/E trends, we favour BNP Paribas over Societe Generale due to its greater earnings visibility (from consolidation of US-based acquisitions), lower CIB volatility (CIB returns are 20% less predictable at Societe Generale than at BNP Paribas), as well as valuation. Many investors justify BNP’s valuation discount to Societe Generale by acquisition risk; however, we believe that the market has overplayed this risk. Over the past few years, BNP management has given us no reason to doubt their valuation discipline, nor their commitment to bolt-on (accretive) deals, organic growth, dividends and buybacks. Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 11 Europe Banks • Santander (IL/A) over BBVA (IL/A): BBVA’s premium to Santander (on 2005E cash earnings multiples) has increased from 2% to 17% over the past 15 months; we believe this valuation gap is due to close. Strong growth in LatAm is not enough to justify BBVA’s elevated multiple, in our view, given concerns about domestic margin compression, increasing funding risk, stretched capital, rising acquisition risk, balance sheet contraction, and slowing growth in customer loans and deposits. Many investors justify Santander’s discount by execution risk on Abbey-related synergies; however, we believe that these risks are more than matched by the valuation disparity between these two global banks. Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 12 Europe Banks Part II: Reiterating our Attractive coverage view; screening for GARP Our portfolio strategists continue to recommend being Overweight the banks sector. Banks feature prominently in crosssector GARP (growth at a reasonable price) screens, which may be an influential investment decision tool this year, following the outperformance of high yield stocks over the past few years. In addition, robust balance sheets, low risk of non-performing loans, high dividend yields and share buybacks should continue to provide support. Meanwhile, banks have become a defensive play, as investors seek shelter from a macroeconomic backdrop of high oil prices and a falling US dollar anticipated during 2005. GARP screens are back in fashion as investors reduce yield exposure High yield was last year’s story; high yield stocks outperformed (by some 9%) in 2004, despite the market rally in the latter part of the year (see Exhibit 3). Subsequent valuation compression across the market has provided an opportunity to move out of some high yield areas. Exhibit 3: High yield stocks outperformed by 9% last year (and by even more in previous years) Relative performance: high yield versus low yield stocks across Europe 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 73 75 77 79 81 83 85 87 89 91 93 95 97 99 01 03 High Yield vs Low Yield Source: Goldman Sachs Strategy Research, from “Portfolio Strategy: How to thrive in 2005” (December 13, 2004). Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 13 Europe Banks This outperformance has reduced the yield spread (Exhibit 4) that high yielding stocks offer (i.e. relative to low yielding stocks); therefore, investors are reducing yield exposure and, we believe, looking for stocks that can offer GARP in 2005.

We are not suggesting that total return is an unworthy investment theme; on the contrary, we reiterate our Attractive coverage view, in part, due to so many of the pan-European banks in our coverage universe offering shareholder-friendly capital policies (see Exhibit 5). However, our strategists believe that a combination of value and growth (a GARP approach), will provide the best returns this year; and the banks also screen well among sectors on this basis.

Searching for companies that offer growth and value Our strategists believe that a combination of value and growth (a GARP approach) will provide the best returns this year. On our economic forecasts, 2005 will offer a fairly benign macroeconomic environment; global growth is admittedly slowing but only back to trend levels, and interest rates remain low. With cash-rich balance sheets, the corporate sector appears positioned to start increasing investment for growth. We believe there are some companies offering reasonable growth prospects that are not being recognised by the market (see Exhibit 6). While companies forecasting very strong top-line growth in 2005 already trade at a Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 15 Europe Banks substantial premium, there are some companies which have solid (but not extraordinary) 2005E growth rates (i.e. around 4%-8%) that appear inexpensive on our strategists’ cross-sector analysis.

Screening for GARP I: The banks sector fares well Our strategists have identified attractive GARP opportunities on both a sector and a sub-sector level. Four medium-term growth estimates and four valuation metrics are incorporated into this process. The results show that banks (along with construction) exhibit particularly strong growth and value characteristics relative to other sectors. On a sub-sector level, the banks score well once again; multinational banks, global banks and investment banks all score solidly in GARP territory. Our strategists assigned a growth score and a value score to each sector (see Exhibit 7). The growth score is based on Goldman Sachs analysts’ medium-term growth estimates (2006-2007E and 2006-2009E sales CAGR, and 2006-2007E and 2006-2009E earnings growth CAGR). The value score is based on four valuation metrics (although only the latter two measures could be applied for the banks sector): EV/EBITDA, EV/capital employed, P/E and dividend yield. Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 16 Europe Banks All metrics were based on 2005 analyst estimates (for more details on the methodology behind this GARP screen, see “Portfolio Strategy: Cherry picking the best growth and value”, published January 14, 2005). The banks sector fares very well on this (and other) GARP screens, scoring best among all 28 sectors for value, and fifth (tied) for growth.

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 17 Europe Banks Screening for GARP II: The multinational, global and investment banks sub-sectors all score well The same exercise, when carried out at a sub-sector level, shows that three of the four banking sub-sectors screen well for GARP (see Exhibit 8); multinational, global and investment banks all landed within GARP territory, while domestic banks scored highly on value but poorly in terms of growth. Multinational banks tied for first (among 65 sub-sectors) on value and fifth on growth; investment banks ranked second (tied) on value and seventh (tied) on growth; global banks ranked fifth (tied) for value and tied for first on growth; and domestic banks ranked fifth (tied with global banks) on value but 16th (tied) on growth. Banks as a defensive play: Limited exposure to high oil prices and falling US dollar Banks have become a defensive play, in our view, as investors seek shelter from a macroeconomic backdrop of high oil prices and a falling US dollar anticipated during 2005. Apart from the relatively tiny exposure to commodities trading from which particular European banks are currently benefiting, the impact of high oil prices on the sector is intuitively limited. The impact of a weakening US dollar, conversely, is less dismissible. Our strategists estimate that one quarter of all European firms generate at least 25% of their profits from US operations. Within the European banking sector, however, the exposure to US$ weakness is more concentrated in a handful of banks, and we have found that most internationally-minded European banks are active in managing currency exposures, albeit in very different ways: • France: BNP Paribas and Societe Generale hedge their currency exposure from a capital standpoint, but not net income. • Spain: The two global Spanish banks hedge 70%-80% of investments/capital and a portion of their income budgets. • UK: HSBC only hedges structural foreign currency exposures in limited circumstances, where it aims to protect the Tier 1 capital or the US$ value of capital invested. RBS fully hedges its balance sheet but is exposed to translation on the US$ earnings of its US operations, Citizens (although US$ preference shares provide a partial hedge). • Switzerland: Credit Suisse does not hedge but UBS hedges its capital in a similar manner to HSBC and partially hedges its US$ earnings. Despite the recent US$ rally (6% appreciation versus the EUR since the start of December), our economists expect further dollar weakness, reflected in EUR/US$ at 1.35, 1.35 and 1.40 in 3, 6 and 12 months time respectively.

The negative impact of a 10% move in the US$ (versus the reporting currency of each bank under our coverage), based on 2004E pre-goodwill EPS, is only 2.6%, 40 bp below the European (cross-sector) market average (see Exhibit 10). This analysis takes into account all the various offsets (e.g., hedging or debt-denominated in foreign currencies), which would tend to soften the impact on the bottom line. Our Attractive coverage view is not without risks There are several potential risks to our bullish sector stance: • Macro risk in Germany (in particular, the potential for surprisingly large corporate provisions) fuelling the return of credit concerns across the continent. Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 20 Europe Banks • Rising price competition on deposits. • Sudden rate moves in Euroland to drive top-line uncertainty. • US dollar rally to detract from the perception of banks as a defensive sector. • Severe credit card regulation (mainly a UK issue) taking the steam out of hopes for robust growth in pan-European consumer finance. • Value destruction by imprudent deals.

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 21 Europe Banks Part III: Three themes to distinguish performance among banks We expect three themes – consolidation, restructuring, and valuation divergence – to distinguish performance among banks within an outperforming sector. In the context of these themes, we highlight our nine top pair trades: Credit Suisse over Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas over ABN AMRO, Deutsche Postbank over Commerzbank, Santander over BBVA, Credit Agricole over ABN AMRO, HVB Group over Commerzbank, BNP Paribas over Societe Generale, small Italian over small Iberian banks, and UniCredito, SanPaoloIMI, Capitalia and BPM over Intesa, BPVN, BNL and Antonveneta. Consolidation: A probability-weighted investment stance Cash generation and strong balance sheets are common characteristics among the European banks; we anticipate increasing dividends and buy-backs to continue to drive performance this year. However, recent announcements (e.g., Santander’s acquisition of Abbey, and Danske Bank’s purchase of National Australia Bank’s Irish assets) suggest that the banks may use their surplus capital to fund growth by acquisition, and not just within country borders (see Exhibit 11). Cross-border industry consolidation seems imminent in Europe, offering more potential banking combinations than previously envisaged by investors. Therefore, we believe that share price performance of the banks may well reflect consolidation speculation, both real and imagined, over the coming months.

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 22 Europe Banks Investors benefit from premium deals, not mergers of equals. We believe that the greatest hope for performance lies in the prospect for premium bids (for targets), along with earnings upgrades from accretive purchases (for acquirers), as opposed to the non-premium share-swapping that usually characterizes a merger of equals. Still, it is next to impossible to predict how (specifically) consolidation will play out in Europe. Although it is reasonable for the imaginations of European investors (inspired by last year’s cross-border banking deals) to be encouraged further by significant excess capital in the banking sector, market fragmentation, and a strong (EUR) currency, we believe that it is unreasonable for those same investors to assume that, in any attempts to use capital to drive growth, the management teams of European (and global) banks will show a collective lack of valuation discipline. While we consider the European banking sector to be poised for consolidation, the probability of any one deal going ahead is relatively low , considering the numerous uncertainties surrounding any transaction, not to mention the seemingly countless number of combinations and permutations. This (low) probability of any one consolidation event should be weighed against the potential upside implied by an imagined premium transaction; in our view, this essential calculation (expectation of gain) appears to be disregarded by some investors and the market impact of acquisition speculation is subsequently exaggerated (see Exhibit 12). We propose a framework to help investors gain exposure to this problematic consolidation theme, by highlighting areas of the market where transactions look more probable. This framework has two premises: • Given that hostile deals are a non-starter among banks (due, in part, to the typical lack of transparency of banks’ loan books), the prospect for sector consolidation is a direct function of the (often limited) number of willing sellers; and, • History shows that the total value of premium acquisitions rarely exceeds 40% of a buyer’s market capitalization (and when a deal approaches this limit, it is, generally, received poorly by investors). Rule #1: A deal cannot happen without a willing seller Over the past few years, deals in the banking sector have been driven more by the target’s willingness to sell than by the buyer’s strategic ambition. For instance, Household International, Charter One Financial, ABSA, Abbey, Korea First Bank and National Australia Bank (their Irish operations) were all willing sellers targeted opportunistically by HSBC, RBS, Barclays, Santander, Standard Chartered and Danske Bank (respectively). So the relevant question becomes: who are the next willing sellers? We look for banks that are: • Increasing their business focus (e.g., perhaps by selling non-core insurance, capital markets, or peripheral markets operations). Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 23 Europe Banks • Struggling to remain competitive under market pressures (e.g., small UK or Spanish mortgage banks constrained by housing trends, small US banks suffering from lack of scale, equity brokers as victims of contracting margins). • Experiencing management change (e.g., where the incoming team may be more shareholder friendly and less brand-loyal), and/or • Suffering threats imposed by other banks (e.g., reluctant sellers seeking a white knight). After a qualitative screen of our coverage universe in the context of the criteria listed above, our banks analysts would consider 24 of our 46 banks under coverage (51% of our universe) to be potential willing sellers (see Exhibit 13); these banks include ABN AMRO, Alliance & Leicester, Antonveneta, Bankinter, BCP, BMPS, BNL, BPM, BPU, Bradford & Bingley, Capitalia, Commerzbank, Credem, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Postbank, Dexia, Intesa, Lloyds TSB, Northern Rock, Popular, SanPaoloIMI, SEB and Societe Generale.

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 26 Europe Banks Rule #2: Buyers are limited by the size of their target History shows that acquisitions within the industry have averaged a premium of about 33%, and that such premium acquisitions are rarely greater than 40% of a buyer’s market capitalization (when they approach this limit, they are poorly received by investors). If we assume that this second rule of thumb holds true in most cases (that the size of an acquisition cannot exceed 40% of a buyer’s market value), then the potential number of premium deals among major European banks becomes a straightforward equation. Exhibit 14 shows the number of theoretical buyers per bank within our European bank coverage universe. This theoretical analysis provides some potential guidelines for investors. Among the banks that we would consider as potential willing sellers (see Exhibit 13), all have benefited by consolidation speculation over the past six months (i.e. share prices have appreciated markedly during times of intense market speculation). However, we believe a reality check is needed. Given the paltry number of potential premium acquirors for some of these banks (according to the rule that premium acquisitions should not exceed 40% of a buyer’s market capitalisation), the probability of a premium deal and the expectation of gain on investment may be much lower than investors perceive. For instance: • Despite share price appreciation inspired by take-out speculation surrounding ABN AMRO, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Lloyds TSB and Societe Generale over the last six months, there is only one (HSBC) potential premium acquirer in Europe of each of these banks, according to our 40% rule (or four global banks, if Citigroup, JP Morgan and Bank of America are included); • similarly, according to our 40% rule, there are only five European potential premium bidders for Dexia (they are HSBC, RBS, UBS, Santander and Barclays), • and only nine European potential premium bidders for SanPaoloIMI (they are HSBC, RBS, UBS, Santander, Barclays, BNP Paribas, HBoS, BBVA and Lloyds TSB). Conversely, there are over 20 European potential premium bidders for each of the following potential willing sellers in our coverage universe: Credem, BPM, Bankinter, Bradford & Bingley, Northern Rock, BPU, Deutsche Postbank, Antonveneta, Alliance & Leicester, BMPS, BNL, BCP and Capitalia. For investors interested in playing this consolidation theme, expectation of gain (i.e. probability-weighted potential upside) would be greater for investments in these smaller potential willing sellers, rather than for the larger potential willing sellers for whom there are few possible premium bidders, in our view. In the context of this consolidation theme, and as outlined in “Part I: What to own?”, we favour BNP Paribas over ABN AMRO (among the potential consolidators), and among potential targets we favour Deutsche Postbank over Commerzbank, and small Italian over small Iberian banks.

Source: Goldman Sachs Research estimates. Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 28 Europe Banks Although both are likely consolidators (as opposed to targets), we favour BNP Paribas over ABN AMRO because BNP has greater purchasing power in the form of surplus capital, a better track record with respect to valuation discipline, and a more developed growth platform (in BancWest) on which to build by strategic acquisition. We favour Deutsche Postbank over Commerzbank because (1) we consider domestic consolidation a more likely scenario for the German banks than cross-border activity, and (2) Deutsche Postbank offers any domestic acquirer the three attributes they covet most: high retail penetration, a liquid balance sheet, and a retail-dominated business mix. We favour small Italian banks (Capitalia, BPM and Credem) over small Iberian banks (Bankinter, Popular and BCP) because the potential for cost synergies looks greater for the less efficient small Italian banks, we see greater opportunities for Italian (rather than Iberian) top-line growth (by SME lending, mortgage and consumer finance businesses), and the Iberian names have already enjoyed their run (these small Iberian banks are trading at a 10% premium to the Italians, on our estimates).

Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 30 Europe Banks Restructuring: Some plans look more credible than others Four of the five top performing banks last year were plays on a restructuring theme; while restructuring stories are likely to remain in vogue this year, we expect the market to be more discerning than it seemed to be in 2004. Some restructuring plans appear more credible than others, and we believe investors will start to distinguish among them. We favour Credit Suisse (IL/A) over Deutsche Bank (U/A): We believe that the comparison between Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse has become more relevant now that both stocks are viewed by investors principally as restructuring stories. In our view, Credit Suisse is a more attractive story than its German peer for four reasons: • Credit Suisse still has non-core assets of which it intends to dispose (e.g., Winterthur), while Deutsche Bank’s strategy of disposing of non-core businesses is largely complete. As a result, we believe that Credit Suisse has greater potential to optimise capital allocation than Deutsche Bank. • Credit Suisse is only just beginning to resume its strategy of returning capital to shareholders through increased dividend payments and share buybacks. Deutsche Bank has already returned EUR7.9 bn (EUR2.2 bn in dividends plus EUR5.7 bn in share buybacks) of capital to shareholders over the last three years compared with EUR1.55 bn at Credit Suisse. We estimate that, on an ongoing basis, Credit Suisse will generate SFr2.7 of surplus cash per share (offering a 6% cash flow yield post dividends), while Deutsche Bank will generate EUR3.7 per share (yielding a 5% cash flow yield post dividends). • There is greater room for profit improvement at CSFB (Exhibit 16) than there is for a turnaround at Deutsche Bank’s PCAM, in our view, given the difficult operating environment in Germany, the lack of acquisition candidates as well as the challenges associated with turning around Deutsche Asset Management. • We see greater valuation support for Credit Suisse than Deutsche Bank. Based on our EPS estimates, Deutsche Bank is trading at 10.9x 2006 cash earnings and 1.3x BV for an 11% 2006 ROE. Credit Suisse is trading at 9.6x our 2006 cash earnings forecasts and 1.4x BV for a 14% 2006 ROE. Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 31 Europe Banks Exhibit 16: We see room to improve productivity at CSFB Revenue per employee at UBS IB and CSFB IS (SFr ‘000) 2001 2002 2003 2004E UBS Investment Bank CS Institutional Securities 938 1066 786 894 916 775 951 803 Gap 14% 14% -15% -16% Source: Company data, Goldman Sachs Research estimates. We favour HVB Group (IL/A) over Commerzbank (U/A): The credibility of HVB Group’s restructuring plan was buttressed by the recent arrival of two new managers with proven track records. In contrast, Commerzbank’s restructuring efforts (focused on its investment banking operations) are proving painful. Commerzbank’s estimate of restructuring-inspired revenue attrition (presented with its 3Q results) is looking increasingly conservative as headcount turnover in (profitable) derivatives and ECM businesses continues to rise. Prior to the recent redundancies, investment banking accounted for 10% of group equity, 20% of revenues, 19% of direct costs and 30% of allocated costs. This final proportion (30% of allocated costs) is the sticking point. Pre-restructuring, investment banking absorbed almost one-third of total back-office expenses (flattering the performance of other divisions); post-restructuring, watch for rising costs, possibly in the corporate centre. Also, we see significant valuation support for HVB’s German business; stripping away Bank Austria and the industrial portfolio (i.e. Munich Re), HVB’s German operations trade at 7.1x 2006E cash earnings, versus 12.7x for Commerzbank. We favour Credit Agricole (OP/A) over ABN AMRO (IL/A): Contrary to the widespread post-acquisition skepticism articulated by some investors who did not believe that tangible cost synergies could result from CIB integration, Credit Agricole management is delivering ahead of plan (EUR300 mn in synergies were realised by end of September 2004 versus full-year target of EUR275 mn; see Exhibit 17). We expect to see the full impact of 2004 integration this year and we believe that the integration-related revenue trough should be behind us; meanwhile, consensus estimates imply continued weakness in CIB revenues.

On the other hand, ABN AMRO management released a statement (December 16, 2004) indicating that headcount reductions from back-office and investment banking operations (2,850 FTEs) would be greater than previously announced; however: • Related savings will not be realized until 2007. • There is still no word on potential revenue impact of these cuts. • The subsequent one-off charge (EUR790 mn) has proven non-trivial in a year when revenues fell (versus 2003). We favour UniCredito, SanPaoloIMI, Capitalia and BPM (all OP/A) over Intesa, BNL and Antonveneta (all IL/A) and BPVN (U/A): The Italian banking sector is awash with restructuring stories; but some appear more credible and/or promising to us than others. For instance, UniCredito management is targeting (realistically, in our view) a 5% efficiency improvement to drive net profit up to EUR3 bn by 2007; given its 9% discount to the sector (UniCredito trades on 9.6x 2006E cash earnings), we believe that such restructuring efforts will prove supportive for UniCredito shares. Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 33 Europe Banks Our positive call on SanPaoloIMI is driven, in part, by our confidence in the capacity of the new General Manager (Mr Modiano) to do for SanPaoloIMI what he did for UniCredito; that is, we anticipate Mr Modiano’s arrival to correspond with an increase in SanPaolo’s risk appetite, driving corporate loan growth (up to sector standards) and higher-margin lending (from structured solutions, add-on services and fees). We estimate the potential impact of this “Modiano effect” at EUR170 mn incremental net earnings (not in our forecasts) from the commercial banking division. This opportunity is non-trivial in a group context, adding a potential 10% to 2006E group net income or EUR1.8 bn to market value (EUR0.96 per share). For Capitalia, we anticipate a restructuring announcement that could add more than 8% of incremental market value (see our note: “Time for a second round of cost reduction”, published December 13, 2004). Meanwhile, we remain confident in Capitalia management’s ability to drive revenues from current (low) levels. As management’s focus has shifted from the balance sheet to the top line, we see opportunities arising from: • Increased mortgage sales, assuming that Banca di Roma can improve sales rate from the current level of one mortgage per branch per month. • Improved funding costs at Banco di Sicilia, where it currently pays 66 bp above the sector average. • Growth in customer deposits, leading to a 120 bp potential mark-down. • Increased AuM ratio at Banco di Sicilia. And for BP Milano, in addition to the support shares may continue to receive from ongoing consolidation speculation (see above), we believe that the new CEO (Mr Viola) will execute on his (five-point) business plan, which includes: • Improving cost/income to 65% (from current 79%) by 1H2005. • Growing net profit to EUR279 mn by 2006. • Internal restructuring aimed at cutting foreign branches and IT costs. • Headcount reduction target of (minimum) 300 employees. • Intention to harvest (low-yielding) financial assets to fund retail lending.

Valuation divergence: After the rebound, we see that some bank pairs have overshot Valuation divergence across the sector rebounded in 2H2004, when the coefficient of variation (CoV) of two-year-forward P/E multiples for the banks rose from 19% to 32% (versus a ten-year average of 28%); that is, the standard deviation of P/E multiples, measured monthly and relative to the average P/E across our coverage universe, has rebounded (since last September) to around long-term average levels (see Exhibit 19).

However, some bank pairs overshot this trend and look due to correct (i.e. converge). Among these, we favour BNP Paribas (OP/A) over Societe Generale (IL/A) and Santander (IL/A) over BBVA (IL/A): BNP Paribas (OP/A) over Societe Generale (IL/A): Societe Generale’s premium to BNP Paribas (on 2005E cash earnings multiples) has increased from 4% to 7% over the past 15 months; we believe this valuation gap is due to close (Exhibit 20). We favour BNP Paribas over Societe Generale due to its: • Greater earnings visibility (from consolidation of US-based acquisitions). • Lower CIB volatility (CIB returns are 20% less predictable at Societe Generale than at BNP Paribas). • Valuation (BNP Paribas trades at a 7% discount to Societe Generale on a 2005E cash earnings price multiple). Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 36 Europe Banks Many investors justify BNP’s valuation discount to Societe Generale by acquisition risk; however, we believe that the market has overplayed this risk. Over the last few years, BNP management has given us no reason to doubt their valuation discipline, nor their commitment to bolt-on (accretive) deals, organic growth, dividends and share buybacks. Exhibit 20: Increasing valuation divergence between BNP Paribas and Societe Generale is due for a correction, in our view P/E multiple on Goldman Sachs 2005E cash earnings, measured monthly since December 2003 11.0 BNP Paribas Societe Generale 10.5 10.0 9.5 9.0 8.5 8.0 Dec-03 Jan-04 Feb-04 Mar-04 Apr-04 May-04 Jun-04 Jul-04 Aug-04 Sep-04 Oct-04 Nov-04 Dec-04 Jan-04 Feb-04 Source: Company data, Goldman Sachs Research estimates. Santander (IL/A) over BBVA (IL/A): BBVA’s premium to Santander (on 2005E cash earnings multiples) has increased from 2% to 17% over the past 15 months; we believe this valuation gap will continue to close (Exhibit 21). Strong growth in LatAm is not enough to justify BBVA’s elevated multiple, in our view, given concerns surrounding: • Domestic margin compression. • Increasing funding risk. Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research - February 24, 2005 37 Europe Banks • Stretched capital. • Rising acquisition risk. • Balance sheet contraction. • Slowing growth in customer loans and deposits. Exhibit 21: Increasing valuation divergence between Santander and BBVA is due for a correction, in our view P/E multiple on Goldman Sachs 2005E cash earnings, measured monthly since December 2003 14.0 BBVA Santander 13.0 12.0 11.0 10.0 9.0 Dec-03 Jan-04 Feb-04 Mar-04 Apr-04 May-04 Jun-04 Jul-04 Aug-04 Sep-04 Oct-04 Nov-04 Dec-04 Jan-04 Feb-04 Source: Company data, Goldman Sachs Research estimates. Many investors justify Santander’s discount by execution risk on Abbey-related synergies; however, we believe that these risks are more than offset by the valuation disparity that exists between these two global banks.

Global banks stand out in this regard with a coverage ratio of 179% and NPL/loans of 1.4%. Balance sheet: Deposit funding will be under greater demand as commercial loan volumes are expected to pick up for the first time in several years. Even so, we forecast that retail banks will likely show a deterioration in their loan/deposit ratios.

Distribution of ratings/investment banking relationships Goldman Sachs Investment Research global coverage universe Investment Banking Relationships Rating Distribution Global OP/Buy IL/Hold U/Sell OP/Buy IL/Hold U/Sell 24% 59% 17% 66% 57% 53% As of January 1, 2005, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research had investment ratings on 1,716 equity securities. Goldman Sachs uses three ratings - Outperform, In-Line, and Underperform - reflecting expected stock price performance relative to each analyst's coverage universe, on an unweighted basis with regard to market capitalization and with a 12-month time horizon. On a global basis, Goldman Sachs seeks to limit Outperform ratings to approximately 25% of ratings and to have at least 10% of ratings Underperform; however, variations from such percentages in certain analysts' ratings and in geographic regions may exist from time to time. Each analyst also assigns a coverage view - Attractive, Neutral, or Cautious - representing the analyst's investment outlook on the coverage group. NASD/NYSE rules require a member to disclose the percentage of its rated securities to which the member would assign a buy, hold, or sell rating if such a system were used. Although relative ratings do not correlate to buy, hold, and sell ratings across all rated securities, for purposes of the NASD/NYSE rules, Goldman Sachs has determined the indicated percentages by assigning buy ratings to securities rated Outperform, hold ratings to securities rated In-Line, and sell ratings to securities rated Underperform, without regard to the coverage views of analysts.
