Operational outlook
These are the Consolidated Financial Statements of Kvika banki hf. ("Kvika" or the "Bank") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") for the year 2024.
Kvika operates as well as a house of brands that are highly focused and excel in their field. The main brands are Kvika, Kvika Asset Management, Auður,
Aur, Lykill, Netgíró, and Straumur, as well as Ortus Secured Finance in the UK.
Kvika is a specialized financial institution strategically positioned to increase competition and transform financial services in Iceland. Opera ting without
a branch network, Kvika provides businesses, investors, and individuals with investment banking, insurance, asset management, payment, and banki ng
services. The Bank is listed on the main list of Nasdaq OMX Iceland.
Kvika operates in four business segments, two which are operated under the Kvika Bank brand, Commercial Banking and Investment Banking, and two
in own‐brand subsidiaries, Kvika Asset Management and Kvika Securities Ltd., the Group's operations in the UK. The insurance segment, operated
through the subsidiary TM tryggingar hf. ("TM") has been sold to Landsbankinn hf. This transaction is currently pending approval from the Icelandic
Competition Authority.
Profit before taxes from continuing operations for the fourth quarter amounted to ISK 1,601 million (Q4 2023: ISK 363 m illion) and for the year it
amounted to ISK 5,817 million ( 2023: ISK 3,009 m illion). Pre‐tax annualised return on weighted tangible equity (RoTE) from continuing operations was
18.5% for the quarter and 18.8% for the full year compared to 10.2% in 2023, based on the tangible equity position of Kvika, net of TM, at the beginning
of the year adjusted for changes in share capital and transactions with treasury shares during the year. Profit after taxes, including discontinued
operations, for the fourth quarter amounted to ISK 3,447 million (Q4 2023: ISK 1,578 million) and for the year it amounted to ISK 8,150 million ( 2023: ISK
4,034 million).
According to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, equity at the end of the year amounted to ISK 89,517 million (31.12. 2023: ISK 81,958
million), and total assets amounted to ISK 354,594 million (31.12.2023: ISK 335,397 million).
The Group's statement of financial position grew by ISK 19 billion or 5.7% during the year 2024. Loans to customers grew by ISK 14.0 b illion or 10.3%
during the year. Liquid assets amounted to ISK 105.7 b illion at end of December 2024, which is equal to 28.9% of total assets and 70.3% of loans to
customers.
On 30 May 2024 the Bank announced that it had signed a purchase agreement with Landsbankinn hf., in which Landsbankinn hf. purchased 100% of the
share capital in TM. On 17 March 2024, the Bank announced that it had received binding offers for the purchase of the share capital of TM. Due
diligence review has been completed, and the purchase agreement has been signed with standard conditions of approval from The Financial
Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland and the Icelandic Competition Authority ("ICA"). On 26 September 2024, the Financial Superviso ry
Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland has published the results of its assessment, finding that Landsbankinn is eligible to control a qualifying ho lding
in TM. The ICA has yet to conclude its review of the transaction. The purchase price according to the purchase agreement is ISK 28.6 billion and
Landsbankinn hf. will pay for the share capital in cash. The purchase price is based on TM's balance sheet at the end of 2023. The final purchase price
will be adjusted for changes in TM's tangible equity from the beginning of the year 2024 to the completion date, and the amount of the change will be
added to or subtracted from the price according to the
purchase agreement.
The outlook for Kvika in 2025 is positive, underpinned by Kvika's multiple operating segments across its key markets in Iceland and the UK, which
provide a diversified source of income. Kvika aims to build on its success in 2024, having already achieved revenue growth driven by loan book
expansion, improved interest margins and a recovery in fees and commissions, while managing costs.
The Group's net operating income during the year was ISK 17,184 million ( 2023: ISK 14,852 million). Net interest income amounted to ISK 9,681 million
(2023: ISK 8,021 million). Net fee income amounted to ISK 6,137 million ( 2023: ISK 5,916 million). Other operating income amounted to ISK 1,367 million
(2023: ISK 915 m illion). Administrative expenses during the period amounted to ISK 10,608 million ( 2023: ISK 10,785 m illion). During the period, the
Group had a net impairment charge of ISK 605 million (2023: ISK 1,027 million).
Previously, in May 2024, Kvika tapped an additional SEK 500 m illion in floating‐rate bonds, priced at a 240‐basis‐point spread over the 3‐month STIBOR.
Compared to the 410 ‐basis‐point spread on issuances in 2023, both the May 2024 and the January 2025 transactions represent a significant
improvement in Kvika's bond pricing.
In mid‐January 2025, Kvika completed the sale of 3.25 ‐year floating‐
rate bonds totalling SEK 600 million and NOK 400 million. These bonds were priced
at a spread of 200 basis points over 3 ‐month STIBOR (for the SEK tranche) and 3 ‐month NIBOR (for the NOK tranche). With over 20 investors
participating, it marked Kvika's largest international bond issuance to date.
Kvika's financial position remains strong, with robust liquidity and capital buffers well above regulatory requirements. It is expected to strengt hen
further following the sale of its insurance business, TM. The divestment will transform Kvika's capital position, allowing it to retain significant capital to
take advantage of growth opportunities by expanding its loan book across all business units, while utilising internal infrastructure more efficien tly.
Growth in mortgage lending is expected to reduce the average risk weight of the loan book and positively impact NPL ratios in the coming year.
The Group's external environment is expected to turn increasingly supportive. Growth is likely to recover in key markets, while market pricing sugge sts
that nascent rate cutting cycles will continue throughout 2025 both in Iceland and the UK, which we expect to provide a further tailwind to the Group's
operations via continued loan book growth, improved net interest margins
and increased market activity.
Additionally, in July 2024, Kvika issued ISK 500 m illion in Tier‐2 subordinated bonds to further strengthen the Bank's capital base. This issuance was a
tap on subordinated bonds originally issued in December 2023.

Economic outlook
Capital adequacy and dividends
Despite the benign outlook, several risks warrant vigilance. Externally, geopolitical tensions, increased trade fragmentation, weak growth in ke y trading
partners and the potential for renewed global inflationary pressures could pose challenges. Domestically, the labour market's response to evolvin g
economic conditions, coupled with the pace of disinflation, will be critical. Additionally, fluctuations in tourism activity and global commodity prices
remain pivotal factors influencing Iceland's economic trajectory. The Bank remains committed to monitoring these dynamics and ensuring
preparedness to navigate any headwinds effectively.
As Iceland hopefully enters a new period of growth, its disinflationary progress, the onset of monetary easing, and the anticipated economic recover y
present opportunities for the Bank to continue driving value for stakeholders.
The Group's solvency ratio at 31.12.2024 was 1.33 (31.12.2023: 1.25) with a regulatory minimum requirement of 1.0.
The Bank's 2024 A nnual General Meeting ("AGM") approved a motion from the Board of Directors ("BOD") permitting the Bank to purchase up to 10%
of own shares subject to regulatory approvals. This authorisation applies until the next annual general meeting in 2025. In July 2024, the BOD decided
to exercise a part of that authorisation and established a buy ‐back programme to carry out the purchase of shares for a total consideration amount of
ISK 1 billion but for no higher nominal amount than 100,000,000 shares. The buy‐back programme was completed in September 2024 when the Bank
had purchased shares for
ISK 1 billion.
The Central Bank's Resolution Authority presented the Group with their first minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) in
January 2025. The MREL requirements, including the combined buffer requirement, are 28.4% of RWEA and 6.0% of total exposure amount ("TEM"). At
the end of 2024 these ratios were 41.1% and 31.1% respectively.
The Financial Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank published the results of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process ("SREP") for Kvika ba sed
on financial information at year ‐end 2023 on 10 July 2024. The capital requirement under Pillar II changed to 3.6% of total risk ‐weighted exposures
amount ("RWEA"), a decrease of 0.4pp from the year before. On 4 December 2024 the systemic risk buffer decreased by 0.8pp due to a decrease by the
Central Bank of Iceland. As of 31 December 2024, the systemic risk buffer decreased by a further 0.1pp due to changes in composition of risk weighted
exposure amount between Iceland and UK. Hence Kvika's total capital requirement at 31.12.2024, taking into account all capital buffers, amounted to
18.0%. Kvika's capital adequacy ratio was 22.8% at the end of December 2024 (31.12.2023: 22.6%). Kvika's CET1 requirement was 12.9% compared to a
CET1 ratio of 19.9% at the end of December 2024.
The Icelandic economy enters the coming year at an inflection point in the business cycle. The economy has remained resilient throughout a
challenging
period of disinflation and is on track to achieve a soft landing. Although growth has slowed markedly in the last year as restrictive monetary policy ha s
weighed on domestic demand, Ic eland is widely expected to avoid a recession and enter reco very from this year onward. Recent developments point to
an encouraging trajectory for disinflation, setting the stage for greater economic stability, lower interest rates, and a more supportive backdrop for the
financial sector.
Additionally, the Icelandic labour market has shown remarkable resilience amid the economic slowdown. While growth in employment has moderated
compared to recent years, job creation remains positive, and unemployment seems to be stabilising at relatively low levels. This reflects the flexib ility of
the Icelandic labour market, which has benefitted from migration flows and close integration with the European labour market.
Iceland's inflationary pressures have eased significantly over the past year. Headline inflation measured 4.8% in December, reflecting a three ‐
percentage‐point decline compared to the previous year. This progress has been broad ‐based, supported by slowing pressures on housing and goods
prices. Encouragingly, inflation expectations have also moderated across various horizons. The outlook suggests a continued deceleration, with i nflation
expected to approach the Central Bank's 2.5% target by mid ‐2026. This environment is expected to s upport growth in purchasing power and provide a
stronger foundation for economic growth and financial stability.
A milestone was reached as the Central Bank initiated its first rate cut in over four years in October. With the key interest rate now at 8.0%, monetary
policy has entered a phase of gradual easing. This shift marks a response to declining inflation and an evolving economic landscape. A downward
sloping yield curve anticipates further rate reductions over the coming year, signalling optimism about a more accommodative monetary environment .
These changes bode well for the Bank's lending and
investment activities, as headwinds from restrictive policy subside.
Growth in the Icelandic economy slowed markedly in 2024, with the economy unlikely to expand meaningfully for the year as a whole. Tight monetary
policy has curbed domestic demand while exporting sectors have faced challenges due to slowing growth in tourism, weak capelin stocks and electricit y
rationing to heavy industry. However, the slowdown is expected to give way to a robust recovery, with growth projected to reach nearly 2% in 2025 and
average 2.5% annually in subsequent years. Key drivers include a rebound in private consumption supported by stronger real wage growth and interest
rate cuts, continued growth in tourism and green shoots in nascent exporting sectors.
While global economic conditions remain uncertain, Iceland's economic outlook stands out favourably. Among advanced economies, growth prospects
for Iceland compare positively, particularly against the backdrop of muted performance in the euro area. Iceland's energy independence, underpinn ed
by its reliable renewable base load power, provides a significant competitive advantage. This stability has facilitated large investments in expor t‐
oriented sectors, particularly pharmaceuticals and land ‐based fish farming, which are expected to yield meaningful growth over a medium ‐term
horizon. These developments underscore Iceland's strong positioning for sustainable growth and resilience in the face of global challenges.
Asset markets have already seen a degree of recovery, with equities delivering strong returns towards the end of 2024, expected to drive increased
trading volumes and rebounding performance ‐related fees in asset management. Furthermore, spreads on peers' Eurobonds have tightened markedly
in the last year, potentially offering opportunities to lower funding costs by refinancing non ‐ISK debt in international markets in the coming year.
Declining inflation
is expected to allow the Group to maintain a lean cost base even as its operations grows, and balance sheet expands.

The Bank's issued share capital amounted to ISK 4,722 million as at 31 December 2024 (31.12.2023: ISK 4,781 m illion). At the end of the year the Bank
held ISK 62 million treasury shares (31.12. 2023: ISK 59 m illion). The shares were acquired through a share buy ‐back programme. The net change in the
Bank's issued share capital amounted to a reduction in nominal value of ISK 59 million during the year (ISK 148 million reduction during the year 2023).
The Bank had 2,741 shareholder at year ‐end 2024 (2023: 2,876), none of which held more than 10% of shares in the Bank (2023: 0). The ten largest
shareholders are as follows:
The 2024 AGM also approved a motion from the BOD to, subject to approval from the Financial Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland,
decrease the share capital of the Bank by 58,952,375 shares by cance lling treasury shares held by the Bank. In March 2024, the share capital reduction
was carried out. Furthermore, the 2024 AGM approved a motion from the BOD that no dividend will be paid in the year 2024 on 2023 operations.
Through the purchase of own shares in 2024, the Bank's dividend policy was met. The dividend policy states that the aim is for shareholders to be
returned an annual dividend of at least 25% of last year's profit after taxes, whether in the form of dividends or through the purchase of own shares.
In 2024, changes were made to the risk management framework regarding sustainab ility risk. Previously, sustainability risk was categorized under
operational risk, but it has
now been elevated within the risk management framework and is considered an independent risk factor.

The objective of risk management is to promote a good and efficient culture of risk awareness within the Group and to increase the understanding of
employees and management on the Group's risk taking, in addition to an assessment process related to risk and capital position. An emphasis is placed
on being up to speed on the latest developments and adoption of rules related to risk management, such as regarding capital ‐ and liquidity
management. The Group faces various risks associated with its operations as a financial conglomerate that arise from its day ‐to‐day operations. Active
risk management entails analysing risk, measuring it and taking actions to limit it, as well as monitoring risk factors across the Group. The Group's r isk
management and main operations are described in the notes accompanying the Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to notes 42 ‐58 on the
analysis
of exposure to various types of risk.
Kvika is obliged to observe recognised corporate governance guidelines, pursuant to Par. 7 of Article 54 of Act No. 161/2002, on Financial Undertakin gs.
The Bank complies with chapter VII of Act No. 161/2002 and in most respects with the Guidelines on Corporate Governance issued jointly in February
2021 by the Chamber of Commerce, Confederation of Icelandic Enterprise (SA) and Nasdaq Iceland. The Bank's a nnual general meeting in March 2024
approved a proposal to establish a Nomination Committee. The committee serves as an advisory role to facilitate informed decision ‐making be
shareholders when selecting board members. Kvika has three times b een recognized as a company which has achieved excellence in corporate
governance following a formal assessment based on the Icelandic Guidelines on Corporate Governance issued by the Icelandic Chamber of Commerce,
Confederation of Icelandic Enterprise (SA) and Nasdaq Iceland, first in 2018, in 2021 and in 2024. The recognition applies for three years at a time unl ess
there have been significant changes to the BOD or the ownership of the Bank. The BOD intends to have such an assessment carried out on a regular
basis and maintain the aforementioned recognition. Additionally, Kvika complies with Guidelines of the European Banking Authority (EBA) on Intern al
Governance (EBA/GL/2021/05), cf. Art. 15 of Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council no. 1093/2010, which was incorporated into
Icelandic law with Act no. 24/2017 on European Supervisory System on the Financial Market.
In accordance with the Bank´s articles of association, five members and two alternate members are elected to the BOD each year at the annual general
meeting. The eligibility of members of the BOD is subject to statutory law. It is the Bank´s policy concerning election of the BOD that the BOD
collectively has sufficient knowledge, competency and experience to understand the Bank´s operations, including the main risk factors. The ratio o f
each gender of members of the BOD and alternate members shall be at least 40%. The election of BOD members and their eligibility is furthermore
governed by the provisions of the Act on Public Limited Liability Companies No. 2/1995 and the Act on Financial Undertakings No.
161/2002.

Kvika banki hf.
Endorsement and Statement
by the Board of Directors and the CEO
A new sustainability risk policy for Kvika was approved by the Bank's BOD in the year that aligns with the guidelines from the Financial Supervisory
Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland and the draft regulatory framework of the European Banking Authority (EBA) on sustainability risk
(EBA/CP/2024/02). Sustainability risk according to the policy includes both Kvika's external risk exposure to various stakeholders and sustainability risk
factors (inside‐out risk) as well as the risk posed to Kvika by sustainability factors (outside ‐in risk). Sustainability risk may impact other risk categories
within the Bank. No changes have been made to the sustainability risk policies of Kvika Asset Management and TM since 2023.
The first step in the risk management process for monitoring sustainability risk is identifying key sustainability topics within Kvika's operation s. This was
achieved through a double materiality assessment (DMA) conducted in 2024, marking the first time Kvika has undergone such a process. The DMA is
currently voluntary in Iceland as the analysis follows the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which is expec ted to
be transposed into Icelandic law in the near future. The findings highlight the most significant sustainability topics for Kvika's operations and sh ape
Kvika's approach to sustainability reporting.
In line with these findings, Kvika is now publishing its first sustainability report considering the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group´s (EFRAG)
standards known as the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). These standards align with the CSRD and define rules for sustainability
disclosures. Kvika aims to fully comply with all relevant data points in the ESRS when the CSRD becomes legally binding in Iceland. Kvika's sustainabi lity
disclosures under these requirements supplements the current legal requirements for non ‐financial reporting as outlined in Article 66 d of the Act on
Annual Accounts no. 3/2006.
The CEO reports to the Board and verifies the effectiveness of internal controls and risk management in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Inter nal
controls and risk management applied in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are organised with a view to preventing any
significant deficiencies in the accounting process. Kvika's BOD and control units regularly verify the effectiveness of internal controls and risk
management.
The Risk Committee has an advisory and supervisory role for the Bank's BOD, among other things, in determining its risk policy and risk appetite. The
Audit Committee is intended to play an advisory and supervisory role for the Bank's BOD by, among other things, ensuring the quality of financial
statements and other financial information from the Bank and the independence of its auditors. The Audit Committee supervises accounting
procedures and the effectiveness of internal controls as well as internal and external auditing. The Remuneration Committee has an advisory and
monitoring role for the BOD in relation to
remuneration at the company and its Group and that they support its goals and interests.
The main aspects of internal and external control and the Bank's management in connection with the accounting process are described in detail in the
Statement on the Corporate Governance of Kvika.
The BOD is responsible for the Group's risk management framework. It approves the Kvika Banki Group risk policy, which provides an efficient and
transparent framework for managing risk and risk appetite in relation to identified risk factors.
The Bank´s articles of association may be amended at lawfully convened shareholders´ meetings, provided that the notice of the meeting specifies tha t
proposals for such amendments are scheduled and outlines the main substance of the amendments. An amendment takes effect only if approved by at
least 2/3 of the votes cast and by shareholders controlling at least 2/3 of the shares represented at the meeting. However, the provisions of the articl es
of association regarding the voting rights of shareholders and equality among them cannot be amended except with the consent of all the shareholders
who are subject to the curtailment of rights, cf. paragraph 3 of Article
94 of the Act on Public Limited Liability Companies No. 2/1995.
The Board determines compensation for the CEO. The BOD emphasizes good corporate governance and adherence to accepted guidelines on corporate
governance. The Board has laid down comprehensive rules in which the authority of the Board is defined and its scope of work in conjunction with the
CEO. They address e.g. the competence of Board members to participate in individual decisions, confidentiality and information disclosure between the
CEO and the Board. All Board members are independent of the Bank and its major shareholders, and no executive directors are on the Board. The Bank
aims to promote gender equality, and two out of five board members are women.
The BOD has delegated certain tasks to three separate subcommittees , the Risk Committee, Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee. The
appointment of committee members shall always comply with currently applicable law. It is not permitted to appoint employees of the Bank to any
subcommittee. Members shall have the necessary ex perience and knowledge for each committee's tasks according to applicable laws and rules. Each
committee has incorporated procedural rules which have been confirmed by the BOD.
Kvika's strategy is to increase competition in financial services and simplify customers' financial affairs. Its core values are long ‐term thinking, simplicity,
and courage. One of the guiding principles of the Group is to be a responsible participant in society and in 2022 a sustainab ility policy was issued, which
remains in effect for Kvika Bank and the Group based on Kvika's ownership policy for key subsidiaries. Relevant supporting policies were subsequentl y
developed or updated, such as policies on education and career developm ent, equality, health, and human resources, as well as a response plan
against bullying, harassment, and violence. There has been no need for a separate human rights policy at Kvika, given that the Group primarily operate s
in Iceland, where there is
a clear legal framework for human rights issues.
Kvika supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and has selected six as priority areas: goal no. 3 – good health and well ‐being; goal no. 4 –
quality education; goal no. 5 – gender equality; goal no. 9 – industry, innovation, and infrastructure; goal no. 13 – climate action; and goal 17 –
partnerships for the goals. The Bank monitors progress on initiatives within the Group that align with these goals.
Kvika is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and progress was made in the year 2024 in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Scope 1
emissions decreased by 38% year ‐over‐year and Scope 3 by 51%. These reductions are attributed to initiatives such as transitioning from fossil ‐fuel‐
powered to electric vehicles, reducing employee flights and other measures. Overall, Kvika's total GHG emissions for 2024 were 282 tCO
₂e.

governance statement. A copy of the statement is available on the Bank's website, www.kvika.is.

Endorsement and Statement

Kvika's Green Funding Framework was updated in 2024 to better align with the European Union's Taxonomy Regulation. By year‐end 2024 Kvika's total
green commitments amounted to ISK 8,526 million, covering issued green bonds and green deposits offered by the Bank. The Green Funding
Framework enables Kvika to direct capital towards sustainable development and support the green transition in the economy. So far, all green
commitments have been allocated within the asset category of clean transportation, specifically to Lykill's green car loans. Kvika's green assets at the
end of 2024 amounted to ISK 10,530 million.
At Kvika, work has been carried out to implement the requirements of the Taxonomy Regulation and the Group publishes now for the second time
information in accordance with Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation. To comply with the regulation's provisions, an analysis of the Group's assets
was conducted with regards to the Taxonomy Regulation's technical criteria, and the proportion of green assets (Green Asset Ratio or GAR) was
calculated. This ratio represents the Group's assets that involve financing and investment in environmentally sustainable economic activities
according to the criteria of the Taxonomy Regulation. Information on Kvika´s GAR can be found in an unedited appendix to this annual report.
The Bank has established a policy on measures against financial crime, rules on managing conflicts of interest, regulations on gifts, rewards, and
incentive payments, as well as policies concerning reputational and conduct risk. They state that no employee or third party acting on behalf of the
Group shall give, promise, request, accept, or receive bribes or other undue benefits intended to influence decision‐making in their professional
capacity. Kvika has also implemented internal rules and procedures to strengthen its defences against bribery and corruption. Additionally, rules have
been set regarding the segregation of duties, personal trading by employees, and whistleblower protection. These rules and policies, largely established
at the Group level, form the foundation—along with the Bank's code of ethics—of Kvika's anti‐corruption and anti‐bribery measures.
Through these measures Kvika seeks to prevent its operations and those of its subsidiaries from being used for financial or economic crimes. The Bank
regularly conducts and reviews risk assessments related to money laundering across its operations and business relationships, utilizing the information
technology system Lucinity, which employs modern technology and artificial intelligence to detect suspicious behaviour.
Further information on sustainability and non‐financial disclosures can be found in Kvika's 2024 Sustainability Report, which accompanies this annual
account and is available on the Bank's website, www.kvika.is. Deloitte provides a limited assurance on selected data points in Kvika´s Sustainability
Report for 2024 and on the disclosure in Kvika´s impact and allocation report that is a part of the Sustainability Report.
Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

Testing the appropriateness of forwa rd looking information and how they
have been applied in the expected credit loss models.
We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of Kvika banki hf. for the year ended December 31, 2024 which comprise, the consolidated income
statement, the consolidated statement of compreh ensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of c hanges
in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summar yo f
significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of Kvika banki hf .a sa t
December 31, 2024, and its consolidated financial per formance and its consolidated cash flows for th e year then ended in accordance with Internation al
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU and additional requirements, as applicable, in the Act on Annual Accounts, the Act on Finan cial
Undertakings and rules on accounting for credit institutions.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Internat ional Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsi bilities under those standards are further descr ibed in
the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, we re of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Stateme nts of
the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Book value of loans to customer s amounted to ISK 150,203 m illion at
year end (2023: ISK 136,323 million) and the total expected credit loss
for the group amounted to ISK 2, 345 million ( 2023: ISK 2, 234 million)
against loans at amortized cost, unused credit facilities and guarantees
at 31 December 2024.
Based on our risk assessment and industry knowledge, we have examined the
impairment charges for loans and provisions for undrawn loan commitments and
evaluated the methodology applied as well as the assumptions made according
to the description of the key audit matter.
Our opinion in this report on the Consolidated Financial Statements is consi stent with the content of the additional report that has been submitted to the
company´s audit
committee in accordance with the EU Audit Regulation 537/2014 Article 11.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of Kvika banki hf. in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Iceland, and we have ful filled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA.

Our examination included the following elements:
Testing of key controls over assumptions used in the expected credit loss
models.
Obtaining and substantively testing the evidence behind valuation of collateral
with particular focus on post‐model adjustments applied to collateral value.
Measurement of loan impairment charges for loans and provisions for
guarantees is deemed a key audit matter as the determination of
assumptions for expected credit losses is highly subjective due to the
level of judgement applied by Management.
Substantively testing the PD models, related methodology and how they have
been applied in the expected credit loss
models.
During our audit we have evaluated whether the Groups expected credit loss
models are compliant to IFRS 9.

In accordance with Paragraph 2 article 104 of th e Icelandic Financial Statement Act no. 3/2006, we confirm to the best of our knowledge that the
accompanying report of the board of directors includes all information re quired by the Icelandic Financial Statement Act that is not disclosed elsew here in

The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and fa ir presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance w ith
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU and additional requirements in the Icelandic Financial Statement Act, and for such
internal control as the Board of Directors and the CEO determines is necessa ry to enable the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements that ar ef r e e
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The board of directors and the audit committee are responsible for overseeing the Kvika banki hf. financial reporting process.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a
material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. I f
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw atte ntion in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidat ed
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the
date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the ot her
information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially mi sstated.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Conso lidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatemen t,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fra ud
or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of us ers
taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to expres sa n
opinion on the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit .
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform
audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk o f
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher tha n for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but n ot
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Kvika banki hf.'s internal control.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for assessing Kvika banki hf.’s ability to con tinue as

securities and the obligation to flag. This responsibility includes preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements in a XHTML format in accordanc et oE U
regulation 2019/815 on the European single electronic format (ESEF regulation).
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance, based on evidence that we have obtained, on whether the Consolidated Financial Statements is
prepared in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and exte nt of
procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessm ent of the risks of material departures from the requirement set out in t he

State Authorized Public Accountant
We also provide the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors and the Audit Co mmittee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and a re therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor ’s
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matte r or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter sho uld
not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doin g so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits
of such communication.

The Bank's management has assessed the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Group has the resources to continue
its operations.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect
the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in Icelandic krona (ISK), which is the Group's functional currency. All financial information h as
been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
securities used for hedging are measured at fair value;
The Group's assets and liabilities which are denominated in other currency than ISK are translated to ISK using the exchange rate as at the end of day
31 December 2024.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical results and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on ‐going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in
which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period and future periods if the revision affects both current and futur e
periods.
Information about areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements made by management in applying accounting policies that can have a
significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements is provided in note 108.
In order to enhance the informational value of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the notes are evaluated based on relevance and importance
for the reader. This can result in information, that has been evaluated as neither important nor relevant for the reader, not being presented in the
notes.

15. Special tax on financial activity
16. Special tax on financial institutions
Other changes ......................................................................................................................................
Net impairment
According to Act No. 155/2010 on Special Tax on Financial Institutions, certain types of financial institutions, including banks, must pay a nnually a tax
based on the carrying amount of their liabilities as determined for tax purposes in excess of ISK 50 billion at year ‐end. The tax rate is set at 0.145%
(2023: 0.145%) and the tax is not a deductible expense for income tax purposes. The tax is presented separately in the consolidated income statement.
The special tax on financial activity is an additional income tax which becomes effective when the income tax base exceeds ISK 1,000 million. It is levi ed
on the same entities as the tax on financial activity according to Act No. 90/2003. The tax rate is set at 6.0% (2023: 6.0%) and the tax is not a deductible
expense for income tax purposes. The tax is presented separately
in the consolidated income statement.
Profit before tax amounts to ISK 5,817 million. Income tax amounts to ISK ‐766 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 13.2%. This is substantially
different from the Icelandic corporate tax rate of 21%, mainly due to non‐taxable income from shares.
Tax exempt revenues / loss ..................................................................................................................
Non‐deductible expenses .....................................................................................................................
Income tax is recognised based on the tax rates and tax laws enacted during the current year, according to which the domestic corporate income tax
rate was 21.0% (2023: 20.0%). The temporary provision of the tax law to increase income tax to 21.0% on the tax base for the year 2024 had an
insignificant impact on the Group due to loss carry forwards. Companies within the Group, which operate outside of Iceland, recognise income tax in
accordance with the applicable tax laws in the country where they reside.
Net change in impairment of
other assets ...........................................................................................
Net change in impairment of loan commitments, guarantees and unused credit facilities ...............
The Bank and some of its subsidiaries will not pay income tax on its profit for 2024 due to the fact that Group has a tax loss carry forward that offsets
the calculated income tax. At year ‐end 2024, the tax loss carry forward of the Group amounted to ISK 9.7 b illion. A substantial part of the tax loss carry
forward is utilisable until end of year 2028. Management is of the opinion that the Group's operations in the years to come will result in taxable results
which will be offset with the tax loss carry forward. The Group has therefore recognised the tax loss carry forward as a deferred tax asset in the
consolidated statement of financial position.
Effect of tax rates change reversed due to loss carry forwards ...........................................................

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on earnings attributable to shareholders and a weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the year. The diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Bank has issued stock options that have
a dilutive effect.

Assets with indefinite useful life, such as goodwill, are not amortised but are subject to annual impairment testing as described in note 90. Goodwill
is allocated to cash generating units ("CGUs") for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those CGUs or groups of CGUs that
are expected to benefit from the business combinations in which th e goodwill arose. Goodwill has been allocated to four CGUs, Asset
Management, Commercial Banking, Investment Banking and UK operations.
Investment Banking ........................................................................................................................
The goodwill impairment tests were performed at the end of 2024. Their results show that the recoverable values exceed the carrying values of
goodwill. In addition to the base case testing, additional scenarios were tested where some key inputs had been stressed. In all scenarios tested the
results show that there is sufficient headroom and that there
are no triggers indicating that impairment is necessary.

The cash flow projections for 2024 are derived from the Group's three year business plan which has been approved by the Board of Directors. In
some instances, the Group's subsidiaries have prepared a three year business plan which has been approved by the Board of Directors of those
companies. Management prepares a five year cash flow projection for each CGU, which is derived from the three year business plan and is also
based on management assumptions. The following table shows the key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount. The
recoverable amounts are calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flow of the CGUs. The time value of money and price of uncertainty
are based on external market information about market risk, interest rates and CGU specific elements like country risk.

The FME has designated the Group as a financial conglomerate as defined in Article no. 3 of Act no. 61/2017 on Additional Supervision of Financial
Conglomerates. As a result of this designation, the Group's capital adequacy is calculated as the solvency ratio of a financial conglomerate. The
Group furthermore calculates the consolidated capital adequacy ratio for entities not belonging to the insurance sector by excluding the insurance
activities from calculation of risk ‐weighted exposures amount and capital base. The Group similarly calculates the solvency ratio of entities solely
belonging to the insurance sector. In 2023, the Group introduced a change in treatment of deductions from capital base due to significant holdings
in financial institutions and deferred tax assets. The calculations now take into account article 48 of the Capital Requirements Regulation no.
575/2013 of the EU.
Solvency measures the Group's ability to take on setbacks, thus indicating its financial strength. The available capital and capital requirements o f
the Group is calculated as a financial conglomerate according to Articles 16, 17 and 18 of Act on Additional Supervision of Financial Conglomerates
No. 61/2017. The Group's solvency ratio is 1.33, with a regulatory minimum requirement of 1.0.

The Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority (FME) supervises the Bank on a consolidated basis and, as such, receives information on the capital
adequacy of, and sets capital requirements for, the Bank as a whole. The Bank's regulatory capital calculations for credit risk and market risk are
based on the standardised approach and the capital calculations for operational risk are based on the basic indicator approach.
Minimum capital requirement is based on the Bank's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) and is reviewed by the FME through
the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP). The Bank's minimum regulatory capital requirement, based on SREP from 2024 is 11.6%.
The minimum regulatory capital requirement including the additional capital buffers is 18.0% as at 31 December
2024.

TM tryggingar hf. has been classified as a disposal group held for sale and as a discontinued operation. This does not affect the Group‘s capital
adequacy calculation. Nonetheless, assuming a cash sale of the subsidiary, the Bank’s capital would increase. To what extent the capital adequacy
ratio would increase depends on the final sale price as well as other factors, such as a potential special dividend payment or share buy ‐back
following the sale.
