f. Loan portfolio management
g. Impairment
h. Derivatives
i. Securities used for hedging
The Group offers derivative contracts in the form of swap contracts on highly liquid securities or currencies. On the day when the contract is
entered into, the Group purchases the underlying asset and hedges its exposure to price changes. Collateral is primarily in the form of cash or
listed, highly liquid securities. The risk management unit and ALCO set rules about the level of collateralisation and the risk management unit
monitors the compliance to these rules. Contracts are closed if required levels of collateralisation are not met.
The Group hedges itself for market risk of derivative contracts by purchasing the underlying securities at the commencement of the contract.
Since the contracts require delivery of the underlying securities to the customer on the settlement day, the credit risk towards the issuer is
immaterial.
To ensure an effective diversification of the loan portfolio the board has set a limit framework defining maximum exposure as a ratio of the
Group’s equity and/or the total size of the loan portfolio. These limits include limitation on joint exposure to associated clients, exposure to
individual and associated industries, single regions and countries etc. It is the responsibility of risk management to monitor that these limits are
not being violated and to report discrepancies to the credit committee.
One of the Group's primary sources of risk is credit risk. Credit risk is defined as the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a
financial loss for the
other party by failing to discharge an obligation.
The risk management unit monitors credit risk and is responsible for developing methodologies to systematically identify, assess, monitor, and
manage it. The Group uses a variety of tools and processes to manage credit risk, including collaterals, hedges and loan portfolio management.
To a very large extent the Group's loan portfolio consists of senior loans, most of which are highly collateralised.
Securing loans with collateral is a traditional method to reduce credit risk. The Group uses different methods to reduce credit risk by obtaining
collateral from customers where appropriate. Such collateral gives the Group right to the collateralised assets for current and future obligations
incurred by
the customer.
The Group applies appropriate haircuts on all collateral in order to ensure proper risk mitigation. For all collateral in listed securities, the Grou p
maintains the right to liquidate collateral in case its market value falls below a predefined limit.
The risk management unit ensures that loans have a credit rating and is responsible for reviewing the loan portfolio. The Group monitors the
value of collateral by listed securities on a real time basis and takes prompt action when necessary.
The originating department prepares a proposal for each larger loan or credit line which is presented to the credit committee for approval. The
proposal consists of a basic description of the client, the purpose of the loan, a simple credit assessment and arguments for or against granting
the loan. The committee decides whether there is need for further cred it assessment and on what terms the loan may be granted. For smaller
loans the originating department obtains a general credit approval from the credit committee with respect to the process, terms, credit limits and
total amount of the specific lending type.
A more thorough credit assessment may be conducted if considered appropriate and can include an assessment of a borrower's fundamental
credit strength as well as the value of any collateral. To assess the borrower's capacity to meet his or her obligations the committee can request
stress test analysis of the borrower's
cash flow or call for third party assessments.
Provisioning for loan impairments is estimated on the basis of expected loss models assessing the portfolio as a whole as well as individual
lending. Risk management unit suggest a level of provisioning for the portfolio, based on the expected loss assessment. Risk management unit
reassess impairments in the event of collateral decay, delayed payments, indication of increased risk, or other early warning signs. Provisions
require approval from the credit committee. Refer to note 82 in the financial statements for more information on the Group's impairment policy.

The Group utilises an economic forecast which is aligned with requirements for the calculation of expected credit loss. Following the Group's
acquisition of Ortus Secured Finance ltd., the Group owns loan portfolios in two geographical segments, i.e. Iceland and the United Kingdom
("UK"). In general, the Group utilises the same ECL methodology for the portfolios in both segments, although in the UK it is to a larger extent
based on an individual assessment by credit specialists and a separate macroeconomic forecast is used to reflect the UK economy. The following
tables shows the first 12 month macro economic values for the variables used in the expected credit loss model. For the UK portfolio 24 month
values are used.Reference is made to note 82 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about the Group‘s impairment

The book value of financial assets which fall under the impairment requirements of IFRS 9 are presented as net of expected credit losses ("ECL")
in the statement of financial position. The ECL are recalculated for each asset on at least a quarterly basis. The assessment of ECL is based on
calculations from PD, LGD and EAD models. Furthermore, the assessment is based upon management's assumptions regarding the development
of macroeconomic factors over the coming twelve months. The assumption s for macroeconomic development are decided for three scenarios: a
base case, an upside scenario, a downside scenario and for the UK portfolio there is a fourth scenario, severe downturn. Each scenario includes a
probability weight, and the ECL is derived as a weighted average. The amount of ECL to be recognized is dependent on the Group's definition of
significant increase in credit risk, which controls the impairment stage each asset is allocated to. The factors that are used to measure significant
increase in credit risk include comparison of changes in PD values, annualized lifetime PD values, days
past due and watch list.

The following tables show financial assets subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9 broken down by credit quality bands where band i
denotes the lowest credit risk and band iv the highest credit risk. Assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are not subject to the stage
classification requirements of IFRS 9 but are nevertheless included in the tables in order to give a more complete picture of the credit quality of
loans to customers and reconcile the tables to the carrying amount on the balance sheet. The Bank has primarily used calibrated external credit
ratings to assess the default probability of its customers. Some of the larger borrowers are furthermore individually assessed by credit specialist s.
The Bank has implemented internal credit rating models for part
of the loan portfolio and intends to continue this development in 2025.

In accordance with regulation no. 575/2013 of the European Union on prudential requirements for credit institutions, which was incorporated
into Icelandic law with Act No. 38/2022, total exposure towards a customer is classified as a large exposure if it exceeds 10% of the financial
institution's Tier 1 capital (see note 38).
According to the regulation a single exposure, net of risk adjusted mitigation, cannot exceed 25% of the eligible Tier 1 capital. Based on Icelandic
rules no. 789/2022 on the Application of Optional Provisions and Authorisations Pursuant to the Act on Financial Undertakings, the value of
exposures towards financial institutions shall not exceed 25% of the eligible Tier 1 capital or 10 bn. ISK, whichever is higher. Single large exposure s
net of risk adjusted mitigation take into account the effects of collateral and other credit enhancements held by the financial institution, and
other credit enhancements, in accordance with regulation no. 575/2013.
The loan‐to‐value ratio (LTV) is the ratio of the gross amount of the loan to the value of the collateral, if any. The general creditworthiness of a
customer is viewed as the most reliable indicator of credit quality of a loan. Besides collateral included in the LTV ratios the Group uses other risk
mitigation measures, such as guarantees, negative pledge, cross‐collateral and collateralization of non‐quantifiable assets.
The breakdown of loans
to customers by LTV is specified as follows:
Less than 50% .................................................................................................................
50‐70% ............................................................................................................................
70‐90% ............................................................................................................................
90‐100% ..........................................................................................................................
Individuals ..............................................
Amounts have been adjusted to exclude collateral in excess of claim value, i.e. overcollateralisation.
100‐125% ........................................................................................................................
125‐200% ........................................................................................................................
Other loans with no collateral ..................................................................................
The Group applies the same valuation methods to collateral held as other comparable assets held by the Group. Haircuts are applied to account

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting contractual payment obligations associated with its financial liabil ities that
are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. This risk mainly arises from mismatches in the timing of cash flows. The Group has internal
rules that require certain matching of the maturities of assets and liabilities. Furthermore, to ensure the ability to meet liquidity needs, the Grou p
maintains a stock
of highly liquid unencumbered assets, e.g. cash, treasury bills and treasury bonds.
Liquidity is managed by treasury and monitored by risk management. Liquidity position is reported to the ALCO committee. The Central Bank of
Iceland sets minimum requirements for the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and the net stable funding ratio (NSFR). The minimum 30 day LCR
regulatory requirement is 100% for LCR total, 50% minimum requirement for LCR in ISK and 80% minimum requirement for LCR in EUR. The
minimum requirement for LCR EUR only applies when the Group‘s commitments in EUR represent 10% or more of the Group´s total commitments.
The minimum regulatory requirement for NSFR total is 100%.

The Group's deposit base is divided into different categories depending on customer type according to the LCR methodology. Different run off rates
are applied on each category representing their level of stickiness, which measures the stability of the deposit. Deposits with maturity over 30 days
are defined as term deposits within the LCR calculations, other as demand deposits. Run off rates are applied on each category of demand deposits
and the expected cash outflow over the next 30 days under stressed conditions calculated. The higher the run off rate, the more high quality liquid
assets the
Group must hold to ensure it can meet its obligations and maintain stability during a crisis.
The table below shows the Group's deposit base divided into different categories depending on customer type and run off rates according to the LCR
methodology.

It should be noted that the Group's expected cash flows sometimes vary considerably from the contractual cash flows, most significantly in that
demand deposits from customers are expected to remain stable or increase in the long term. In this case the presentation used reflects the worst
case scenario from the Group's perspective. Furthermore, the analysis does not consider any measures that could be taken to convert long ‐term
assets to cash through sale.
Cash flows relating to unrecognised balance sheet items (unused loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts) are presented separately
from financial assets and financial liabilities. Both contractual outflows and inflows are shown, to fully reflect the nature of these items.

Net unrecognised items .................................
Net assets (liabilities) excluding
Maturity analysis of financial assets and financial liabilities is based on contractual cash flows or, in the case of held for trading securities, exp ected
cash flows. If an amount receivable or payable is not fixed, e.g. for inflation indexed assets and liabilities, the maturity analysis uses estimates b ased
on current conditions.

The Group performs monthly sensitivity analysis on financial assets and liabilities in trading portfolios that are subject to interest rate risk. Th e
sensitivity analysis assumes a shift in the yield curves for all currencies. A parallel shift in yield curves would have the following impact on the
Group's pre‐tax
profit and equity, assuming all other risk factors remain constant:
Indexed .....................................................................................................
Non‐indexed .............................................................................................
Market risk constitutes risk due to changes in the market prices of financial instruments and comprises interest rate risk, currency risk and other
price risk. Notes 52‐57 relate to market risk exposure.
The Group has a strict policy on controlling market risk and to keep the exposure within set limits. The risk management unit monitors market risk
limits on a daily basis and reports regularly to the ALCO committee and to the CEO.
The Group's exposure to interest rate risk is twofold. On the one hand, the Group has a proprietary portfolio of bonds, where market rates affect
prices and any fluctuations are recognised in the income statement. On the other hand, the Group has mismatch in assets and liabilities with
fixed interest terms. These include loans and swap contracts for securities on the asset side and borrowings and deposits on the liability side. This
mismatch does not create an immediate effect on the income
statement but nevertheless affects the Group's economic value.
The Group takes measures to minimise interest rate risk by matching the interest rate profile and duration of assets with the Group's liabilities as
well as using derivative and non‐derivative financial instruments to manage effectively the risk of an adverse impact on the Group's earnings.
Proprietary positions which are subject to interest rate risk fall under the scope of the Group's market risk management.

The following exchange rates have been used by the Group in the preparation of these financial statements:
Closing Average Closing Average

143.9 149.3 150.5 149.2

Currency risk arises when financial instruments are not denominated in the functional currency of the respective Group entity and can affect both
the Group's income statement and statement of financial position. A part of the Group's financial assets and liabilities is denominated in foreign
currencies.
Currency positions are monitored by risk management and reported to the ALCO committee. Any mismatch between assets and liabilities in each
currency is monitored closely and managed within limits.
The Group is subject to limits set by the Central Bank of Iceland regarding the maximum open currency position. At 31 December 2024 and 31
December 2023 the Group's position in foreign currencies was within those limits.
EUR/ISK ...........................................................................................................................
USD/ISK ..........................................................................................................................
GBP/ISK ...........................................................................................................................
The Group applies hedge accounting according to IAS 39 against translation of foreign operations. Currency swap agreements are used as a hedge
instrument against translation difference arising from foreign operations.
Short positions ...............................................................................................................
Deposits ..........................................................................................................................
Subordinated liabilities ..................................................................................................
Given the net balance of CPI linked assets and liabilities, a 1% change in the CPI would, with other things constant, result in the following changes
to
the Group's pre‐tax profit.
Government bonds ........................................................................................................
Other fixed income securities ........................................................................................
Loans to customers ........................................................................................................
Derivatives ......................................................................................................................
Exposure towards changes in CPI is the risk that fluctuations in the Icelandic Consumer Price Index (CPI) will affect the balance and cash flow of
indexed financial instruments.
The Group is exposed to inflation indexation of assets and liabilities den ominated in ISK. All indexed assets and liabilities are valued according to
the CPI measure at any given time and changes in CPI are recognised in the income statement.
The Group controls its indexation risk through derivatives contracts and sales and purchases of indexed bonds, mostly government bonds, and
thus keeps its exposure to the CPI within the limits set by the ALCO committee.

Given the net currency position, a 10% change in the value of the ISK would, with other things constant, result in the following changes to the
Group's Consolidated Income Statement or equity.
The individual business units within the Group are primarily responsible for managing their respective operational risk. The risk management unit
is furthermore responsible for identifying, monitoring and reporting the Group's operational risk. Operational risk can be reduced through staff
training, process re‐design and enhancement of the control environment. The risk management unit monitors operational risk by tracking loss
events, quality deficiencies, potential risk indicators and other early ‐warning signals. The unit takes an active role in internal control and quality
management.
Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, from human error or external events
that affect the Group's
reputation and operational earnings.

Equity risk is the risk that the fair value of equites decreases as the result of changes in the value of shares and other variable income securities in
the Group’s portfolio.

Level 1
Level 2
Fixed income securities ..............................................................................................
Inputs are not observable or unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the valuation. This category includes instruments that are
valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments for which significant unobservable adjustments are required to reflect the differences
between the instruments.
Inputs are not quoted market prices but are observable either directly, i.e. as prices, or indirectly, i.e. derived from prices. This category
includes financial instruments valued using quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices for similar or identical
instruments in markets that are considered less than active and other instruments which are valued using techniques which rely primarily
on inputs that are directly or indirectly observable from market data.
Level 3
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices. For other financial
instruments the Group determines fair value using various valuation techniques. IFRS 13 specifies a fair value hierarchy based on whether the
inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources
whereas unobservable inputs reflect the Group's
market assumptions. These two types of inputs result in the following fair value hierarchy:
The Group uses widely recognised valuation techniques, including net present value and discounted cash flow models, comparison with similar
instruments for which market observable prices exist, Black‐Scholes and other valuation models.
Fixed income securities ..............................................................................................
Shares and other variable income securities .............................................................
Fair value hierarchy
Fair value hierarchy classification
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position is classified into the fair
value hierarchy as follows:
Valuation process
The Bank's Credit committee is responsible for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities classified as level 2 or level 3
instruments. The valuation is carried out by personnel from respective departments under supervision from Risk. The valuations are revised at
least quarterly, or when there are indications of significant changes in the underlying inputs.
Valuation techniques
For more complex instruments, the Group uses proprietary models, whic h usually are developed from recogn ised valuation models. Some or all
of the inputs into these models may not be market observable and are derived from market prices or rates or are estimated based on
assumptions. When entering into a transaction, the financial instrument is recognised initially at the transaction price, which is the best indicat or
of fair value, although the value obtained from the valuation model may differ from the transaction price. This initial difference, usually an
increase in fair value, indicated by valuation techniques is recognised in income depending upon the individual facts and circumstances of each
transaction and no later than when the market data becomes observable.
The value produced by a model or other valuation technique is adjusted to allow for a number of factors as appropriate, because valuation
techniques cannot appropriately reflect all factors market participants take into account when entering into a transaction. Valuation
adjustments are recorded to allow for model risks, bid ‐ask spreads, liquidity risks, as well as other factors. Management believes that these
valuation adjustments are necessary and appropriate to fairly state financial instruments carried at fair value in the statement of financial
position.
Valuation techniques include recent arm's length transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties, if available, reference to the current fai r
value of other instruments that are substantially the same, the discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. Valuation techniques
incorporate all factors that market participants would consider in setting a price and are consistent with accepted methodologies for pricing
financial instruments. Periodically, the Group calibrates the valuation technique and tests it for validity using prices from any observable curre nt
market transactions in the same instrument, without modification or repackaging, or based on any available observable market data.

Value of assets
Significant unobservable input
Unlisted bonds
Fair value measurements for Level 3 financial assets
Level 3 assets consist primarily of unlisted bonds, shares and share certificates and loans measured at fair value. Each asset is evaluated
separately but assets within an asset group share a valuation method. The following valuation methods are in use:
Expert modelLoans to customers
Deposits and other borrowings are typically either short ‐term or have variable interest rates. Other liabilities consist primarily of accounts
payables, unsettled transactions, withholding taxes and other short ‐term payables. The carrying amount of these liabilities is therefore
considered a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
The Group holds financial instruments which are not measured at fair value. Except for loans to customers, the Group believes that the best
estimate of the fair value of these financial instruments is equal to the carrying amount at the reporting date and does therefore not report a
fair value for these financial instruments. Loans to customers measured at amortised cost are classified as level 3, in the fair value hierarchy, and
have a book value of ISK 149,329 m illion at end of December 2024. The estimated fair value of loans to customers measured at amortised cost at
end of December
2024 is ISK 149,121 million.
Cash and balances with Central Bank includes several components as detailed in note 18. These assets are either balances available on ‐demand
or on very short notice, or other assets easily converted to c ash. Other financial assets consist primarily of short ‐term receivables. The carrying
amount of these assets is therefore a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
Asset class Method Significant unobservable input
Unlisted bonds Expected recovery Value of assets
Unlisted variable income securities Market price Recent trades
The Group believes its estimates represent appropriate approximations of fair value and that the use of different valuation methodologies and
reasonable changes in assumptions or unobservable inputs would not significantly change the estimates.
A 10% change in the estimates would have the following effect on profit before taxes:
Shares and other variable income securities ..................................................................................................................
Loans to customers ..........................................................................................................................................................
Given the methods used, the possible range of the significant unobservable inputs is wide. When determining the values used the Group
considers the financial strength of the entity in question, recent trades if any and multipliers for comparable instruments.

The remuneration policy conforms to Articles 57 a and 57 b of Act No. 161/2002 on Financial Undertakings, Act No. 2/1995 on Public Limited
Companies and other applicable rules and guidelines, as well as Act No. 25/2023 on Sustainable Finance Disclosure. A more detailed description of
the policy can be found on the Bank's website, www.kvika.is.
The Board of Directors has approved a performance based incentive scheme at the proposal of the Remuneration Committee. The scheme forms
a part of the remuneration policy adopted by the Bank. As described above it does not apply to the Bank's subsidiaries that are subject to
independent legal requirements regarding remuneration policies and/or gr anting of bonuses. The Bank's subsidiaries subject to independent legal
requirements have, thus, each implemented own incentive schemes.
Deferred cash payments .....................................................................................................................................................
The Bank's incentive scheme is set forth in accordance with Article 57 b of Act No. 161/2002 on Financial Undertakings. Performance based
payments may consist, in part or in full, of shares or share ‐linked instruments, such as warrants or stock options for shares in the Bank. Payments
according to the scheme are based on key performance indicators (KPIs) that reflect the goals of the Bank, the division and the employee. The
basis for performance based pay reflects sound risk management and does not induce excessive risk taking. Performance based pay to individual
employees shall not exceed 25% of their annual salary and 40% of the performance based pay shall be deferred for three years. Performance
based pay that does not exceed 10% of annual salary is not subject to deferral. A more detailed description of the scheme can be found in the
Bank's remuneration policy on it's website, www.kvika.is. Incentive schemes of the Icelandic subsidiaries are similar to the Bank's due to specific
Icelandic legal requirements that are similar for the operations of the Bank and these subsidiaries. UK law has not implemented similar restrictions
for incentive schemes and, therefore, the incentive scemes of the UK subsidiaries differ from the Bank and the Icelandic subsidiaries.
Deferred ..............................................................................................................................................................................
Salary related expenses ......................................................................................................................................................
Non‐deferred ......................................................................................................................................................................
The Board of Directors has adopted a remuneration policy at the proposal of the Remuneration Committee. The Bank's Annual General Meeting
approved the Bank's current remuneration policy in March 2024. The Board of Directors will submit an updated remuneration policy for approval
at the Bank's Annual General Meeting in 2025. The remuneration policy applies on a consolidated basis. However, it does not apply to the Bank's
subsidiaries that, based on the activities carried out by the subsidiaries, are subject to independent legal requirements regarding remuneration
policies and/or the granting of bonuses, except to the extent required by law. Kvika shall strive to ensure that the remuneration policies of
subsidiaries take into account the Bank's remuneration policy as possible. The Bank's subsidiaries subject to independent legal requirements have ,
thus,
each implemented own remuneration policies.
The Bank has issued share options in accordance with authorisations of its annual general meeting, the Group's remuneration policy and incentive
scheme. At year end 2024, there were outstanding share options based on the Bank's incentive scheme.
In 2022, the Bank, on the basis of an authorisation by the A nnual General Meeting of Kvika banki hf., held on 31 March 2022, granted share
options to certain employees of the Group on the basis of the Bank´s incentive scheme. The share options were granted in order to align the long ‐
term interests of the Group and said employees. The employees paid for the share options with a deferred part of performance based payments.
For the share options the employees paid a total of ISK 94.5 million by using deferred performance based payments. The cost of these share
option agreements is ISK 94.5 million based on the Black ‐Scholes calculation model but in return previously expensed performance based
payments were cancelled.
The main terms of the share options from 2022 are as follows:
The exercise price of the share options is ISK 22.495 per share, which is equivalent to the weighted average price in transactions with shares
of the company on Nasdaq OMX Iceland for ten business days prior to the contract date, with 7.5% annual interest over the period, and the
exercise price shall be adjusted for dividends that may be decided
until the exercise period begins.
The options do not allow for cash settlement.
The share options may be exercised in 2025, during an exercise period of three months where in that period the strike continues to accrue
with 7.5% annual interest until the option is exercised.
In general, share options shall lapse if the share option holder's employment relationship with the company is terminated until the beginning
of the exercise period.

The vesting period of the share options is 36 months from grant date of the share options. Following that the share options may be exercised
for a period of three months where in that period the strike continues to accrue with 7.5% annual interest until the option is exercised.
However, in the event of a merger involving a dissolution of the company or if there is a change in the company's control, the share options
will become fully vested.
In general, share options shall lapse if the share option holder's employment relationship with the company is terminated before the end of
the vesting period.
Executive managers within the Group commit to retain, until the end of their employment, shares which market value correspond to profit
after taxes of utilised share options until the value of the shares owned by those individuals is equivalent
to six months’ salary.
The value of the share options was determined by an independent specialist and the value is in line with the laws and rules applicable to
bonus payments of financial undertakings.
As of December 2024, a three year general share option plan, set forth in accordance with Article 10 of the Income Tax Act No. 90/2003, has
lapsed. There are thus no share options outstanding on the basis of said general share option plan. No decision has been made whether or not
another general stock option plan, cf. Art. 10 of Act No. 90/2003, will be implemented.

In certain instances, the Group is entitled to revoke the share options in part or in whole in line with applicable rules.
In 2023, the Bank, on the basis of the same authorisation from the A nnual General Meeting in 2022, granted share options to four employees of
the Group on the basis of the Bank´s incentive scheme. The share options were assigned as a a deferred part of recruitment bonuses that were
granted between December 2022 to April 2023. The stock options are granted in order to align the long ‐term interests of the company and said
employees. The cost of these share option agreements is ISK 14.7 million based on the Black‐Scholes calculation model.
The main terms of the share options from 2023 are as follows:
The exercise price of the share options is ISK 20.107 per share, which is equivalent to the weighted average price in transactions with shares
of the company on Nasdaq OMX Iceland for ten business days prior to the contract date, with 7.5% annual interest over the period, and the
exercise price shall be adjusted for dividends that may be decided during the vesting period.
In certain instances,

As the Iceland revenue and customs has not yet concluded its review, the Bank has not charged any amount to its income statement nor made
any changes to the tax returns for the respective years.
The Bank is aware of that the Iceland revenue and customs ("Skatturinn") is currently reviewing the tax treatment of warrants that the Bank sold
during the years 2017 to 2019. The Iceland revenue and customs is looking into whether the warrants should be taxed as perquisites instead of as
a financial instruments. Should that be the case, then the Bank would be required to pay the respective social security tax and tax on financial
activity. The Bank would however be able to deduct the amount of salary related expenses, as well as the amount of the perquisites, from its tax
base
for the respective years in question, and thereby increase its deferred tax losses.
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
Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland has published the results of its assessment, finding that Landsbankinn is eligible to control a
qualifying holding 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.

Significant accounting policies

a. Subsidiaries
b. Business combinations
c. Non ‐controlling interest
d. Fiduciary services
e. Transactions eliminated on consolidation
f. Structured entities
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements, and
have been applied consistently by Group entities.
The Group provides custody services, fund management and discretionary and advisory investment management services which require the
Group to make decisions on the handling, acquisition or disposal of financial instruments on behalf of its clients.
The financial statements of managed funds and investment portfolios managed by the Group on behalf of customers are not included in the
financial statements, as they do not constitute assets or liabilities of the Group.
Intra‐group balances, income and expenses, and unrealised gains and losses arising from intra ‐group transactions, are eliminated in preparing
the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment to the
extent of the Group's interest in the associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that
there is no evidence of impairment. This also applies to subsidiaries classified as disposal groups held for sale.
The Group acts as investment manager or investment advisor, for example, to a number of investment funds operated by the fund management
company Kvika eignastýring hf. The purpose of such a fund management company is to generate fees from managing assets on behalf of
third‐party investors by providing investment strategies. These investment funds are financed through the issue of units to investors. The Group
has no contractual obligation to provide financial support to these structured entities.
From time to time, the Group makes seed capital investments in certain fund products in order to establish track records for new products, to
test new investment strategies or to launch new products at a viable minimum size.
The Group has set up a formal procedure to assess whether or not to consolidate investment funds managed and administered by the Group on
behalf of its customers and other investors in the consolidated financial statements. As part of this assessment, the Group reviews all facts and
circumstances including the purpose and design of the investment fund, to determine whether the Group, as fund manager, is acting as agent or
principal. The Group is deemed to be a principal when the Group acts as fund manager and cannot be removed without cause, has variable
returns through
significant holdings and is able to influence the returns of the funds by exercising its power.
Structured entities are entities that have been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the
entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual
arrangements.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the
definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is account for within equity. Otherwise, other
contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent
consideration are recognised in profit and loss.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Group reassesses its relationship
with an entity when there is a change in one or more of the elements of control.
The Group uses the acquisition method to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value, at
the date of exchange, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued. Identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date,
irrespective of the extent of any minority interest.
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If
the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised immediately in the
income
statement.
Non‐controlling interest represent the portion of profit or loss and equity not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Bank. Non ‐controlling interest
is presented separately in the income statement and is included in equity in the statement of financial position, separately from equity
attributable to owners of the Bank.
The Group chooses on an acquisition ‐by‐acquisition basis whether to measure non ‐controlling interest in an acquiree at fair value or according
to the proportion of non ‐controlling interests in the acquiree's net assets. Changes in the Bank's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not
result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances the carrying amounts of the controlling and non ‐
controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which
the non‐controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to
the owners of the Bank.

Interest income and expense are recognised in the income statement usi ng the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate
that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial instrument to the gross carrying amount of the
financial asset or the amortised cost of the financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate for financial instruments other than
purchased or originated credit ‐impaired assets, the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial
instrument but not ECL. For purchased or originated credit ‐impaired financial assets, a credit ‐adjusted effective interest rate is calculated using
estimated future cash flows including ECL.
The amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured on initial
recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference
between that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, adjusted for any expected credit loss allowance. The gross
carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any expected credit loss allowance.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the respective Group's entity using the exchange rate at the date
of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency using the
exchange rate at the reporting date. Non ‐monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are
translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non ‐monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are
stated at fair value are translated using the
exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the
functional currency at spot exchange rate current at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the
functional currency at the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Fee and commission income and expense are recognised in the inco me statement when an agreement with a customer meets all of the
following criteria:

Short‐term employee benefits obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability
is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short ‐term cash bonus or profit ‐sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Current tax liabilities include the estimated tax payable next year on current year's profit according to the tax rates prevailing at reporting date,
in addition to corrections
on tax from previous years.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be
utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax
benefit will be realised.
The deferred income tax asset and/or liability has been calculated and recognised in the statement of financial position. The calculation is based
on the difference between assets and liabilities as presented in the tax return on the one hand, and in the consolidated financial statements on
the other, taking into consideration tax losses carried forward. This difference is due to the fact that the tax assessment is based on premises
that differ from those governing the financial statements, mostly due to temporary differences arising from the recognition of revenue and
expense in the tax returns and in the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and tax liabilities are offset in the statement of financial position when there is a legal right to settle on a net basis and they
are levied by the same taxing authority on the same entity or on different entities subject to joint taxation.
Fair value changes of loans to customers held at fair value
Administrative expenses comprise expenses other than interest exp enses, fee and commission expenses an d expenses related to fair value
changes.
A breakdown of administrative expenses is provided in note 9.
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in profit or loss as the related service is provided. The Group has no
further obligations once those contributions have been paid.
Equity‐settled share‐based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at grant date. The grant date fair
value of equity ‐settled share‐based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding
increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is
adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non ‐market performance conditions are expected to be met, such
that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non ‐market
performance conditions at the vesting date.
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case it is recognised there.

Financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss are all other financial assets which are not classified at amortised cost or at fair va lue
through other comprehensive income. This includes financial assets classified mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss and financial asset s
which are irrevocably designated by the Group at initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss that would otherwise meet the
requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Group may designate financial assets
as at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Fixed income securities may be classified as financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI") when
they meet the classification criteria. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest rate. Interest income and foreign exchange gains or
losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statem ent of Comprehensive Income. F ixed income securities classified as FVOCI are subject to
impairment measurement using the expected credit loss approach. Fair value measurements are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income
while on derecognition, cumulative gains (losses) recognised in Other Comprehensive Income are reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of
Income.
the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are
managed;
The Group's financial assets are classified into one of three measurement categories, i.e. i) at amortised cost, ii) at fair value through other
comprehensive income or iii) at fair value through profit or loss. The measurement basis of individual financial assets is determined based on an
assessment of the cash flow characteristics of the assets and the business models under which they are managed.
The Group initially recognises loans and advances, deposits, debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date on which they are
originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised on the trade date, which is the date when the Group becomes a party
to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payment of
principal and interest and the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows, i.e. Held to collect. After
initial measurement, financial assets in this category are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortisation is
included in interest income in the Consolidated Income Statement. The majority of the Group's loans to customers are carried at amortised cost
using the effective interest rate method. Interest on loans to customers is recognised as interest income.
The Group makes an assessment of the objective of a business model in which an asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the
way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:
the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. In particular, whether management's
strategy focuses on earning contractual interest revenue, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial
assets to the duration of the liabilities that are funding those assets or
realising cash flows through the sale of the assets;
how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group's management;
Impairment on financial assets measured at amortised cost is calculated using the expected credit loss approach. Loans and debt securities
measured at amortised cost are presented net of allowance for credit losses in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at fair value. Loans to
customers which are measured at fair value through profit or loss are assets whose cash flows do not represent payments that are solely
payments of principal and interest but are non ‐trading assets. Interest on loans to customers measured at fair value through profit or loss is
recognised as interest income. Changes in fair value, as well as any gains or losses realised on disposal, are recognised in the line item Net
financial income (expense) in the Consolidated Income
Statement.
how managers of the business are compensated ‐ e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the
contractual cash flows collected; and
the frequency, volume and timing of sales in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and its expectations about future sales activity.
However, information about sales activity is not considered in isolation, but as part of an overall assessment of how the Group's stated
objective for managing the financial assets is achieved and how cash flows are realised.
Financial assets that are held for trading or managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at fair value
through profit or loss because they are neither held to collect contractua l cash flows nor held to both collect contractual cash flows and to sell
financial assets.

80. Offsetting
81. Determination of fair value
Income and expenses are presented on a net basis for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions, such as in the Group's trading
activity, or other circumstances permitted by International Financial Reporting Standards.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when the Group enters into a
transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred
financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its statement of financial position, but retains either all or
substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets or a portion of them. In such cases, the transferred assets are not
derecognised. Examples of such transactions are securities lending and sale and repurchase agreements.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation of the Group is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair
value of a liability reflects its non ‐performance risk. When available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price
in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency
and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position, when there is a legally enforceable
right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is normally the transaction price – i.e. the fair value of the
consideration given or received. If the Group determines that the fair value at initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair
value is evidenced neither by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique that uses
only data from observable markets, then the financial instrument is initially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference between the
fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently, that difference is recognised in profit or loss on an appropriate basis ov er
the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or the transaction
is closed out.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs
and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take
into account in pricing a transaction. For further information on valuation techniques, refer to notes 60 ‐ 61.
Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to other risk or variability of cash flows that are inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement,
the related financial asset is classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets held within the business models Held to collect and Held to collect and sell are assessed to evaluate if their contractual cash
flows are comprised of solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). SPPI payments are those which are consistent with a basic lending
arrangement. Principal is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and may change over the life of the instruments, e.g. due to
repayments. Interest relates to basic lending returns, including compensation for the time value of money and credit risk associated with the
principal amount outstanding and for other basic lending risks (expected losses, liquidity risks and administrative costs), as well as a profit
margin.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except in the period after the Group changes its business model and if
the change is significant to the Group's operations.
The Group's financial liabilities are classified into one of two measurement categories, i.e. at amortised cost or at fair value through profit or
loss. Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss, all other financial liabilities are measured at amort ised
cost. Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are initially recognised at fair value, which is typically equal to cost, i.e. cash advanced l ess
any transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Accrued interest, in the case of
interest bearing liabilities is included
in the carrying amount. Interest expense is recognised in net interest income.

Stage 3 covers financial assets that have objective evidence of a credit loss event at the reporting date.
12‐month expected credit losses are recognised in stage 1, while lifetime expected credit losses are recognised in stages 2 and 3. IFRS 9 draws a
distinction between financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and those that hav e.
Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability ‐weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of the
financial instrument.
An asset moves from 12‐month expected credit losses to lifetime expected credit losses when there has been a significant deterioration in credit
quality since initial recognition. Hence the ‘boundary’ between 12 ‐month and lifetime losses is based on the change in credit risk not the
absolute level of risk at the reporting date.
There is also an important operational simplification that permits companies to stay in ‘12 ‐month expected credit losses’ if the absolute level of
credit risk is ‘low’. This applies even if the level
of credit risk has increased significantly.
There is also a third stage. This applies to assets for which there is objective evidence of impairment. In Stage 3 the credit loss allowance is still
based on lifetime expected losses but the calculation of interest income is different.
In the periods subsequent to initial recognition, interest is calculated based on the amortised cost net of the loss provision, whereas the
calculation is based on the gross carrying value in Stages 1 and 2.
Finally, it is possible for an instrument for which lifetime expected credit losses have been recognised to revert to 12 ‐month expected credit
losses should the credit risk of the instrument subsequently improve so that the requirement for recognising lifetime expected credit losses is no
longer met.
Lifetime expected credit losses
Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, taking into account the potential for default at any point
during the life of the financial instrument.
Expected credit losses
12 month expected
credit losses
Stage 2 covers financial assets that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition (unless the low credit risk
simplification has been applied and is relevant) but that do not have objective evidence of a credit loss event.
Stage 1 covers financial assets that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or (where the optional low credit
risk simplification is applied) have low credit risk.
The Group measures the ECL on each balance sheet date according to a three‐stage expected credit loss impairment model.
The general approach
contract assets;
loan commitments issued; and
financial guarantee contracts issued.
For trade receivables and contract assets without a significant financing component a simplified (lifetime expected loss) approach can be
applied.
For assets that are credit‐impaired at purchase or origination lifetime expected loss approach shall be applied.
For other assets/exposures a general (or three‐stage) approach shall be applied.
The Group estimates an ECL for each of these types of assets or exposures. However, IFRS 9 specifies three different approaches depending on
the type of asset or exposure:
debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;
finance lease receivables measured at amortised cost;
The Group recognises loss allowances for ECL on the following financial instruments that are not measured at FVTPL:
debt instruments measured at amortised cost;
12‐month expected credit losses are a portion of the lifetime expected credit losses. They are calculated by multiplying the probability of a
default occurring on the instrument in the next 12 months by the total (lifetime) expected credit losses that would result from that default. They
are not the expected cash shortfalls over the next 12 months. They are also not the credit losses on financial instruments that are forecast to
actually default in the next 12 months.
Expected credit losses are defined as the difference between all the contractual cash flows that are due to an entity and the cash flows that it
actually expects to receive (‘cash shortfalls’). This differenc ei sd i s c o u n t e da tt h eo r i g i n a le f f e c t i v ei n t e r e s tr a t e( o rc r e d i t‐adjusted effective
interest rate for purchased or originated credit‐

Migration of corporations by one or two risk grades in the PD model is considered to be a significant increase in risk and therefore warrant a
transfer to stage 2, depending on the origination grade. However, the Group considers risk grade 6 and lower for corporations to be low risk and
therefore excludes any movement between categories that does not result in a rating above that level. If the borrower is in Creditinfo's default
registry then he moves to stage 3 if he is more than 30 days delinquent but stage 2 otherwise.
Risk Management is responsible for managing the credit risk of the Group which includes a qualitative SICR assessment. Risk Management
reviews on a monthly basis large exposures, unsecured loans and loans that are past due on a loan by loan basis.

The Risk Management department can manually override automatic default triggers if the following applies:
the reason for reported default triggers is known to the Bank and not considered to be lack of willingness or ability to pay.
The Group utilises an economic forecast and the current 12 month PD for the purpose of estimating lifetime PD for loans in stage 2. The 12
month PD is adjusted with a survival rate for each year until maturity with the following formula: PD t =P D12 *S Rt where PD12 is the 12 month PD
from the credit rating model and SR t is the survival rate at time t, which is calculated recursively as SR t =S Rt‐1 *( 1‐PDt). The Group monitors the
appropriateness of the assumption as a part of it’s yearly validation and monitoring process. The PD assessment for portfolios in the UK is
primarily individually assessment done by credit specialists based on payment history and general creditworthiness where performing
customers are ranked in three different risk classes.
When considering whether a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) has occurred the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative factors.
In general the Group will rely on a quantitative analysis based on the PD model but will additionally consider qualitative factors based on the
information available to the Group.
The Group has defined the following criteria’s for SICR:
Over 30 days past due of any of the client's exposures or client is in Creditinfo's default registry
Definition of default
The Group utilises internal and external Probability of Default models (PD models). Internal models are developed using internal default data
along with demographic and other explanatory variables. External models are developed by Creditinfo, an Icelandic credit bureau, for the
domestic corporate and invidiual portfolios. The Creditinfo PD models are calibrated to the default rate of the underlying portfolios. The PD
models calculate a 12 month PD and a lifetime PD is calculated for stage 2 loans. All PD models use an economic regression model which uses
forecasted macro variables to adjust the PD values
for economic scenarios.
