Moscow, March 4, 2021 - Sberbank (hereafter "the Group" or "Sber") released its Annual consolidated IFRS financial

Herman Gref, Chairman of the Executive Board, CEO:
"A year ago we could hardly imagine the challenges we would encounter in 2020: the pandemic, the drop in oil prices,
interruption in operations of certain segments of the economy. In the scope of the joint efforts with the government
and businesses, we became an important player in the collective fight against the consequences of the pandemic: we
immediately organized an anti-crisis control centre, started offering support to retail clients and businesses from the
beginning of the turmoil. During 2020, we issued RUB17.7 trn loans under our own and state programs. We offered our
clients different restructuring and financing options to cope with the crisis.
Sber was able to quickly restore the business once the restrictions were lifted. The launch of a massive costs
optimization program helped us support profitability, and as a result achieve Return on Equity of 16%.
An important milestone of 2020, was the launch of our new brand, Sber, which is a universe of our financial and
non-financial products and services, as well as our new Strategy 2023 that concentrates on building an integrated
ecosystem around a client."
