Strong basis for forming Jyske Bank of the future

Foreword by Lars Mørch, CEO and Managing Director

2023 was a good year for Jyske Bank with a net profit of DKK 5.9bn, a successful integration of the former Handelsbanken Denmark and acquisition of PFA Bank.

Jyske Bank's earnings per share rose by 61% to DKK 89 in 2023 and exceeded the record-setting year 2022. The advance was due to the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark, a higher interest-rate level and a favourable development in the financial markets. Moreover, the very solid credit quality was maintained. In addition, the distribution of dividend at DKK 500m marked a resumption of capital distribution to the shareholders. Going forward, we en deavour to distribute a dividend in the region of 30% of the shareholders' proportion of the results. The annual dividend is to be supplemented by ongoing share buy-backs contingent on Jyske Bank's capital position.

Handelsbanken Denmark contributes to the results

The integration of the former Handelsbanken Denmark was successful. We estimate that the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark has already now attained the 2025 target of a contribution to the Group's pre-tax profit of DKK 1.0bn

Heading for Jyske Bank of the future

All in all, we have got off to a good start forming Jyske Bank of the future. Jyske Bank has good opportunities of becoming an even stronger business. Jyske Bank should not be changed fundamentally from one year to the other. But with due respect to our present business, we will based on Jyske Bank's strengths work on an update of the Group's business strategy towards the end of 2024.

year, the value proposition to the customers was improved even further particularly with respect to investment and housing to personal customers and insurance solutions to corporate customers. p.a., and the potential for the pre-tax profit is, at the present interest-rate level, estimated to be approx. DKK 0.3bn above the original expectations.

Several of the initiatives go hand in hand with the stronger business volume within asset management and wealth management advice which was a result of the acquisition of PFA Bank as we welcomed new colleagues and customers on 1 October. The acquisitions of Handelsbanken Denmark in 2022 and PFA Bank in 2023 mirror Jyske Bank's ambitions of high-quality growth and profitability. Dedicated and motivated organisation

Jyske Bank's target is to be an active and constructive part of the green transition and Jyske Bank's target is net zero CO2 emission across business-oriented activities in the form of loans and investments not later than in 2045 and 2050, respectively. In addition, Jyske Bank aims at lending growth contributing to mitigate climate changes, and the CO2 emission from Jyske Bank's own activities must be reduced by 65% from 2020 to 2030. among the Group's employees in the annual employee survey. Thank you to the employees for excellent efforts and great results in 2023. Focus on good customer experience In Voxmeter's image survey, Jyske Bank reported the largest advance among Danish banks, and we have a continued focus on ensuring good customer experience. Over the

The organisation has in an exemplary manner lifted the many tasks in connection with the integration. This took place in a constructive cooperation with Handelsbanken and the data processing centres BEC and Bankdata. All planned organisational changes have been implemented, and the integration and costs involved proceeded according to expectations.

Many colleagues have made targeted efforts for customers to experience the best possible transition to Jyske Bank's systems in connection with the IT migration at mid-November. In addition, we ascertain an increase in job satisfaction

Although the sharply rising interest rates sent up the macro economic uncertainty in the course of the last year, the Danish economy still seems to be resilient. Consequently, Jyske Bank anticipates a net profit of DKK 4.3bn – DKK 5.1bn in 2024.

Financial ratios

Relationships between income statement items under 'The Jyske Bank Group' key financial data and the IFRS income statement page 95 appear from note 2.

  • * Financial ratios are calculated as if additional tier 1 capital is recognised as a liability, cf. note 69.
  • ** The number of employees at the end of 2023, at the end of 2022, at the end of 2021, at the end of 2020 and at the end of 2019 less 16, 19, 15, 31 and 54 employees, respectively, who are financed externally.

Additional benefits to customers

Over the year, the value proposition to customers was improved even further particularly with respect to investment and housing to personal customers and the new Netbank Erhverv, Risk Manager and insurance solutions to corporate customers. Add to this a number of initiatives relating to deposit products, resulting, among other things, in Jyske Bank's share savings account being named Best in test by the Danish consumer magazine TÆNK. Strengthened climate effort The integration of the former Handelsbanken Denmark proceeded according to plan as regards financial, business and organisational issues. The future tasks of all employees were clarified in the first quarter of 2023, when also business analyses, forming the basis of the migration of data processing centres, were finalised. Branch mergers reduced the total number of branches by 1/4. The migration of IT to another data processing centre, involving more than 200 employees, also proceeded according to plan at mid-November 2023.

Successful integration

2023 has been characterised by rising interest in sustainability and especially climate among our customers. We have added more resources and developed more solutions within both corporate customers, housing and investment, and generally climate is on the agenda in an increasing number of contexts in our interaction with customers. In 2023, it resulted, in business terms, in additional loans of DKK 21bn to areas mitigating climate change. New domicile Jyske Bank will gather the activities from Jyske Realkredit's head office at Kgs. Lyngby, the head office of the former Handelsbanken Denmark at Havneholmen as well as existing business activities at Vesterbro at Kalvebod Brygge in Copenhagen as from mid-2025. The re-location is expected to create a good physical environment for customers as well as the employees, a strong professional environment and will also result in cost synergies.

PFA Bank acquisition and closing

On 13 June 2023, Jyske Bank announced the acquisition of PFA Bank and an agreement with Investeringsforeningen PFA Invest on the administration and portfolio management of the customers' funds. The price totalled DKK 247m inclusive of equity at DKK 127m, and the acquisition was implemented on 1 October 2023 following approval by the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority. Jyske Bank took over approx. 10,000 personal customers and private banking customers, deposits of DKK 0.7bn, assets under management of DKK 16.1bn and 43 employees.

Goodbye to Anders Dam – welcome to Lars Mørch

After almost 34 years with Jyske Bank - of these the past 28 years on the Group Executive Board - Anders Dam decided to retire at end-October 2023. With effect as from 1 November 2023, Jyske Bank's Supervisory Board appointed Lars Mørch as new CEO and Managing Director.

Highlights 2023

Jyske Bank's performance in 2023 was highly satisfactory. With a net profit of DKK 5.9bn, corresponding to DKK 89.3 per share, 2023 was a historically good year for Jyske Bank with a return on equity of 14.4%.

Earnings per share rose by 61% compared with the record-breaking year in 2022. The increase was boosted by 58% higher core income due to considerable growth in net interest income.

Higher interest rates and acquisitions contribute positively

Net interest income was affected by the higher level of interest rates as well as the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark. In addition, developments in the financial markets and Jyske Bank's positioning resulted in highly positive contributions to value adjustments.

Net fee and commission income showed a minor increase compared with the previous year which was characterised by high loan and refinancing activity. Consequently, the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark offset a lower level of activity in 2023 as a result of the higher interest rates.

Costs under control despite inflation

Core expenses rose by 25% compared to 2022. A steep increase had to be expected due to the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark which resulted in a rise in the

number of employees and higher IT expenses. The increase was also driven by a higher number of employees relating to financial crime prevention as well as the acquisition of PFA Bank and the inflationary effect of sector-wide prescribed salary increases. In addition to core expenses, non-recurring costs of DKK 235m were incurred relating to the integration of Handelsbanken Denmark and PFA Bank.

Solid credit quality

Loan impairment charges amounted to an expense of DKK 127m, corresponding to 0.02% of gross loans and guarantees. The credit quality remains solid with a low level of non-performing loans and the lowest level of actual writeoffs for more than a decade. Moreover, post-model adjustments of DKK 1.9bn offers a good basis for countering the macroeconomic uncertainty in 2024.

Resumed capital distribution to shareholders After the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark, Jyske Bank has built up a stronger capital base and with a common equity tier 1 capital ratio at 16.9, Jyske Bank has a solid capital position. This paved the way for a resumption of distribution to shareholders with an extraordinary dividend of DKK 500m in December 2023 combined with the proposal by the Supervisory Board for an additional dividend at DKK 500m in connection with the coming annual general meeting.

Stronger earnings and continued solid credit quality

Financial summary by Birger Krøgh Nielsen, CFO

The economic agenda in 2023 was continued interest-rate hikes from the Danish central bank but also resilient consumers and enterprises. The higher interest rates had at end-2023 only had a moderate dampening impact on the Danish economy.

Interest-rate hikes up to late summer

High inflation due to strong demand, bottlenecks in the supply chains and extremely high energy prices resulted in significant interest-rate hikes from the ECB and hence from the Danish central bank over 2022. And the interest-rate hikes continued well into 2023 when the ECB focused fully on reducing inflation. When the ECB paused its interest-rate hikes following yet another increase in September, the current-account rate of the Danish central bank attained 3.6% from 1.75% at end-2022 and -0.6% at end-2021. Broadly speaking, a historically aggressive interest-rate hike cycle from the central banks.

Short-term global banking turmoil

In the spring of 2023, the higher interest rates triggered short-lived global banking turmoil, which primarily affected medium-sized regional banks in the US. Due to unsuccessful risk management, the interest-rate hikes resulted in critical losses on the bond portfolios of several of these banks, which led to a string of US bank collapses. Over the same period of time, Credit Suisse landed in financial trouble of such a magnitude that the institution had to be taken over

Resilient consumers and enterprises

Over the year, interest-rate hikes spread gradually in the economy. Not least in connection with refinancing of adjustable-rate loans of homeowners. But consumer demand and the housing market were surprisingly robust, supported by continued employment growth. The shortage of labour declined over the year but remained at a high level, and consequently, many enterprises retained their employees and still needed to hire new ones. The same picture was seen in the labour markets in the US as well as in the euro zone, which contributed to supporting the Danish economy.

Risk of wage-price spiral

by UBS, the other large Swiss bank. The banking turmoil led to price declines of banking shares and to higher risk premiums on credits to banks. The turmoil was, however, short-lived since the problems were a special case and not an expression of general challenges at the banks. All in all, towards the end of 2023 we saw prospects that the slowdown in the Danish economy would continue and perhaps become more pronounced in 2024. Since the economy had not yet adjusted fully to the higher interest rates. The trading activity was for instance low for commercial property due to the risk of coming price declines.

The fall in energy prices in the autumn of 2022 and the higher interest rates spilled over in the last part of 2023 on the general price development, and inflation lost momentum. This resulted in increasing market expectations of interest-rate cuts by central banks in 2024. However, we still saw concerns that continued low unemployment rates risked creating a wage-price spiral in 2024 if the labour markets did not slow down. Consequently, central banks were hesitant promising fast and multiple interest-rate cuts.

Higher interest rates and a robust economy

External market overview by Niels Rønholt, Chief Economist

For 2024, Jyske Bank estimates a net profit in the range of DKK 4.3bn-5.1bn, corresponding to earnings per share in the range of DKK 64-76.

Core income is expected to decline in 2024, in particular as a result of lower value adjustments which were at a historically high level in 2023. Expectations mirror slow growth in the Danish economy and a reduction of Denmark's Nationalbank's certificate of deposit rate of 0.75 percentage point in 2024.

Core expenses exclusive of nonrecurring costs are expected to be roughly unchanged in 2024. Nonrecurring costs for the integration of Handelsbanken Denmark and PFA Bank are expected to nearly DKK 0.2bn. Expenses relating to the collective agreement and PFA Bank are also expected to be practically offset

2024 outlook

by a higher level of synergies involved in the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark as well as lower integration and restructuring costs.

It is presumed that loan impairment charges will be at a higher level in 2024 than in 2023. In 2023, the level of actual write-offs was at the lowest level for more than a decade, the proportion of non-performing loans was at a low level, and post-model adjustments, mirroring, among other things, risks involved in the expected economic development, amounted to DKK 1.9bn at the end of 2023. This provides us with a solid basis of addressing macroeconomic risks.

The expectations involve uncertainty and depend, for instance, on macroeconomic circumstances and the development in the financial markets.

About Jyske Bank

About Jyske Bank

Jyske Bank was founded on the basis of an ambition to be an alternative to the traditional competitors. We still are. Due to our built-in competitive gene and high ambitions we have become one of the largest banks in Denmark, and Jyske Bank runs a sustainable and responsible business, challenging and developing the Danish banking market and the surrounding society in a positive direction.

In 1982, Jyllands-Posten gave Jyske Bank the nickname "the Catfish in the Tank", and the name has stuck ever since. The catfish is a weird fish. We readily admit that. But it is full of life, and thanks to its energetic activity, it adds oxygen to the water, creating life and competition around it.

Pre-tax profit in 2023 by segments

Denmark's banks are important for the country's financial infrastructure, providing efficient and secure payments and contributing to development and growth to the benefit of the individual, businesses and society in general. Banks act as a clearing house between lenders and borrowers – those with surplus funds and those looking for financing of buying a house or growing their business.

As a systemically important financial institution, Jyske Bank is aware of and strives to live up to the Group's social significance. That is why we endeavour to run a sustainable and responsible business in all respects. It is about complying with the legislation in force at any given time and meeting the expectations that our stakeholders rightly have of us.

As a financial institution, we aim ultimately to help solve problems – for customers, for society and for the planet. We know we cannot solve everything, but we are keen to be part of the solution.

We contribute to society at the most fundamental level by paying taxes to the Danish government and salaries to our employees. We support local initiatives through partnerships and sponsorships, and through our business activities we generally want to contribute to solving societal challenges.

We work towards net-zero emissions, and climate (UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 13) is our most significant impact area. It is through our business activities that we can make the largest difference. This was shown by our first impact analysis in 2020 and is underlined by the fact that financed carbon emissions from lending and investments in scope 3 are currently estimated at 2.1m tonnes, and the bank's scope 1 and 2 emissions are 2,049 tonnes of CO2e. Our long-term goal is net-zero emissions for lending, investments and banking operations.

And what will happen going forward? We have got off to a good start forming Jyske Bank of the future based on the needs of our stakeholders in order to future-proof the bank ensuring than we can continue to deliver both the personal relations and digital service.

Our customers are looking for help finding the right financial solutions in the form of expert advice that goes beyond the purely financial.

Stakeholders

Large Corporates

Our customers in this segment are large national or inter-

national companies with complex business models that

require particular insight into their activities. Based on personal advice, we build strong relationships with the option of situational and more complex solutions.

Corporate and Institutional Banking

The very largest business enterprises in the Nordic region and institutional customers throughout Europe are served directly by our specialists in the capital market area.

As well as standard corporate services, we offer finance, advice on financial risks, and trading in securities, currency and financial instruments. Business volumes from the largest customers are steadily increasing, and we added a new business area back in 2022, Debt Solutions, to advise and structure complex financing solutions, including participation in the bond issues of the largest enterprises.

Jyske Bank is also the only Danish bank to offer advisory services and hedging for commodity risks, which has been of great value to many companies with the big fluctuations in commodity prices in the wake of the war in Ukraine.

Employees

Our employees are the conditions for running a sustainable and responsible business that challenges and develops the Danish banking market and the society.

It is the employees who ensure the personal relationship and the long-term customer relationships, and consequently, retention, job satisfaction and development are crucial for our business.

Competence, confidence and commitment are key words for us. Consequently, we have confidence in our employees and offer them large scope of action, because we believe that the individual employee both can and will take responsibility to solve his or her own assignments. Our employees are allowed to think differently, be creative and are allocated responsibility and authority, corresponding to the role and competencies of the individual employee.

We want to offer our employees the opportunity to develop professionally, personally and in terms of leadership, making them attractive in the job market.

We also know that there is more to life than work. And we believe that we get more committed employees when there is also time to live life alongside work. Therefore, our employees enjoy freedom under responsibility, and we strive for a good balance between work and leisure with the possibility of planning working hours according to the walk of life with changing needs in relation to working hours and homework.

Shareholders

Jyske Bank shareholders invest in a Danish and a value-based bank. Jyske Bank particularly matches investors who:

  • believe that the best long-term results are achieved when the interests of shareholders, customers and employees are balanced
  • prefer a full-line bank with a Denmark-based business model
  • want to invest in a loan portfolio of high credit quality.

At the end of 2023, the number of shareholders was almost 150,000. It is characteristic of Jyske Bank's share capital that it is distributed among many shareholders, including Jyske Bank customers and employees. About 69% of the share capital is held by Danish investors.

In 2023, the price of the Jyske Bank share rose to DKK 484.0 from DKK 451.3, corresponding to an increase by 7.2%. Inclusive of an extraordinary dividend at DKK 7.78 per share, the total return for the shareholders came to 8.3% in 2023. The turnover of the Jyske Bank share came to DKK 17.2bn compared to DKK 21.4bn the previous year. At the end of 2023, the share was covered by five analysts.

28.1%

Jyske Bank's largest shareholder is BRFholding a/s, who owned 28.1% of the share capital at end-2023. BRFholding a/s is a 100% owned subsidiary of BRFfonden, which purpose is carrying on mortgage banking business through partial ownership of Jyske Bank.

Ambitions and approach

Ambitions by Trine Lysholt Nørgaard, Director of IR and Sustainability

As a financial institution, we play a key role via financing of a wide range of activities in society. With a business volume of more than DKK 850bn, we can and will be part of the solution in the transition to a more sustainable society.

The climate is Jyske Bank's most significant impact area, and we want to participate in the transition alongside our customers. Analyses show that, with current climate commitments, the world's countries are still a long way needed to limit global warming to 1.5

Part of the solution

the Paris Agreement's target to limit global warming. Our long-term target is net-zero carbon emissions by the latest in 2050.

A matter of business

from delivering the carbon reductions degrees. It is more important than ever to take action and find ways to meet the needs of today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We support Denmark's climate targets and hence We find that most customers are keen to make more sustainable choices but may not know how. We want to make sustainability concrete and are continuously developing our value proposition to the customers. Our interactions with customers are always focused on how to create value for the customer but also for Jyske Bank and society at large.

Our progress will largely mirror that of our customers, and we can take action by entering into dialogue. In addition, we continue to integrate sustainability into relevant parts of our core activities, e.g. credit assessments and risk management.

This also applies to the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which imply new conditions both for us and for our customers. The CSRD requires not only a significant increase in sustainability-related disclosures, but also work on strategy, business model and integration into governance. We share knowledge and experience with our customers, believing that this will contribute to a stronger position for them and for us.

Future developments and rising expectations

We are very aware that the sustainability agenda is continuously evolving, and that stakeholders' expectations of banks, including Jyske Bank, are mounting. The climate is top of the agenda, but not the only issue. We will therefore be expanding our work in other areas, and it will be important to consider these different areas and

their impacts in combination, for instance climate and nature as well as focusing on the impact the work with these areas may have on social issues such as employee and human rights.

This will impose demands on our work. We will target our initiatives at the areas in which we can make the biggest difference and strive to ensure that Jyske Bank's position is clear and that stakeholders can follow our work and progress through our reporting.

Jyske Bank's approach

The overarching framework for our work is provided by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB). This ensures a holistic approach where we concentrate our efforts according to impact and materiality on the basis of Jyske Bank's business model and the composition of our business volume.

We focus on supporting customer progress in the implementation of sustainability and facilitating customers' sustainable choices and decisions.

In addition to the PRB we have signed up to other international initiatives, such as the UN Global Compact and the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, and nationally we follow the recommendations from Forum for Sustainable Finance. When it comes to asset management, our climate efforts are also supported by membership of the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative (NZAM) and Climate Action 100+.

End of the four-year PRB implementation period

2023 marks the end to the 4-year implementation period for PRB for banks which, like Jyske Bank, are founding signatories. Since signing in 2019 Jyske Bank has been working with the implementation of PRB's six principles as an overall framework for our work with sustainability.

Much has happened since UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative introduced the voluntary initiative in 2019. Sustainability is well on its way to be set on a fixed formula with the introduction of new legislation in the form of e.g. the EU's Taxonomy regulation and new requirements for sustainability reporting, CSRD, and the PRB have set a course in such a way that the principles remain relevant and contribute to development and learning.

At Jyske Bank, we look forward to further work with PRB in the expectation that PRB and other voluntary initiatives will continue to be at the forefront of legislation and thus a source of experience and knowledge sharing and sparring with peers across national borders.

Climate position

It is important for us to concentrate on where we can make the biggest difference. We have focused and prioritised our efforts and set targets for the parts of our business volume where we can reduce carbon emissions furthest to mitigate climate change.

Given Jyske Bank's business model and volumes, we have begun our work on lending by setting targets for transport, energy supply and agriculture, which are the industries in our loan portfolio with the highest emission intensity, and for real estate, which makes up a very large part of the loan portfolio. Other industries facing challenges, such as extraction of raw materials, make up a smaller share of our business and are not currently covered by reduction targets.

For assets under management, carbon reduction targets for equity funds and associated decarbonisation pathways mean that the focus of attention is on active ownership against the largest carbon emitters.

We expect and encourage our customers and investee companies to take action on climate risks and climate impacts. Our approach is based on monitoring and evaluating the performance and progress of customers and companies, and a conviction that we can best promote sustainability through customer dialogue and active ownership. We are very aware that the sustainability agenda is continuously evolving, and that expectations of banks, including Jyske Bank, are mounting. This applies particularly to the climate and the transition away from fossil fuels.

We prefer to engage rather than opt out of or exclude based on a general sustainability assessment of a given industry.

Next step

With this in mind, we are continuously developing our climate efforts. This includes being explicit about our position on the climate, including fossil fuels. In 2023, we started the preparation of a position paper. The main focus is on asset management activities and on establishing methods and standards, acquiring tools and sourcing data.

Our ambition is for the position paper to cover both asset management and financing, including our position on existing and new customer relationships. This is in keeping with our principle of taking a consistent line across our business areas where relevant. Many of the deliberations associated with the position paper concern matters of principle, and as such there is a need to ensure integration with our business strategy. The position paper is expected to be published in 2024.

Jyske Bank's approach and ambitions result in a number of targets reflecting that climate is in focus with regards to our business activities.

Our long-term target of net-zero carbon emissions by the latest in 2050 is supported by interim carbon reduction targets for 2030 covering investments in equities and mortgage bonds as well as lending to selected industries. We also aim to continue to increase our lending volumes for activities that help mitigate climate change.

Currently, 26% of loans (exclusive of repo loans) and approx. 50% of assets under management are comprised by carbon reduction targets, and we anticipate gradually to increase these proportions. Likewise, we continuously consider new measures to strengthen the effort, including the use of recognized standards for determining climate targets, e.g. SBTi, and joining voluntary initiatives and associations.

The target of long-term net-zero carbon emissions also applies to banking operations, and consequently, we also have a 2030 interim target for carbon reduction from banking operations.

Jyske Bank also has targets to ensure that Jyske Bank is an attractive workplace with dedicated and competent employees as this is a condition for business success.

Carbon reduction targets

For lending, Jyske Bank chose in 2022 to set out interim targets for reducing CO2 emissions for the industries in our lending portfolio that have the greatest emission intensity: agriculture, energy supply and road transport as well as commercial properties, which account for a large proportion of lending. Moreover, in 2023, a reduction target was determined for owner-occupied homes.

Together, these interim targets cover DKK 129bn or 26% of the total loan portfolio, and 34% of financed emissions from our lending.

Within asset management, we have set out targets for reducing the CO2e footprint for equities and mortgage bonds, and approx. 50% of the funds under management are covered by CO2 reduction targets.

In addition to these reduction targets for our business activities, Jyske Bank also has the target of reducing carbon emissions associated with its own operations by 65% by 2030 relative to 2020.

Follow-up on targets

Loans

Residential property, owner-occupied property and office and commercial properties

At the end of 2023, the realised development follows the projections, and from the charts it appears that kg CO2e per m2 has decreased by 13%-24% compared to baseline. The development is fuelled primarily by societal conditions such as declining emission factors driven by the increased proportion of renewable energy in the energy mix.

Agriculture, energy supply and road transport

For the reduction targets for agriculture, energy supply and road transport a quantitative follow-up cannot yet be prepared. Work with data collection from customers in the particular sectors continues. The targets have been determined so that they are in line with the societal expectations of the development.

When determining targets for owner-occupied homes, residential property and office and commercial properties, account has been taken of the Danish Energy Agency's projection of emission factors and pipeline gas (as a larger share of the gas used will consist of bio-natural gas), shift of energy sources to more renewable types of energy and the natural renovation of properties.

Residential property

Office and commercial properties

Investment

As an asset manager, we have committed ourselves to netzero CO2 emissions through the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative (NZAM), and our CO2 reduction targets for equity investments under management and funds with Danish mortgage bonds are determined under the auspices of NZAM.

Equities

At the end of 2023, the CO2e footprint from our customers' equity investments had been reduced by 60% since 2019, and in 2023 a big step has thus been taken towards fulfilling our target of reducing the CO2e footprint by 75% in 2030. We continue our ongoing focus on CO2e reduction, i.e. through built-in criteria of 6% annual CO2e reduction in a number of equity funds.

Mortgage bonds

For mortgage bonds in investment association funds, the CO2e footprint has been reduced by 54% since 2019, and the interim target of 40% reduction in 2030 has thus already been met. The development in the CO2e footprint has been flat to slightly decreasing for the various mortgage credit institutions, which is reflected in a corresponding slightly decreasing CO2e emission in the managed funds. The interim target is maintained at the present point in time..

Banking operations

For 2023, Jyske Bank's scope 1 and 2 emissions amount to 2,049 tonnes of CO2e, which corresponds to a reduction of 4%. The development can primarily be attributed to energy savings introduced by the Group in the second half of 2022 as a result of the energy crisis. The calculation of scope 1 and 2 is affected by the acquisition of Handelsbanken's Danish activities as at 1 December 2022. Of the locations taken over by Jyske Bank, it has, due to lacking opportunities of collecting consumption data, only been possible to include the locations still occupied by Jyske Bank at end-2023 in the calculation.

Follow-up on growth targets

We also endeavour to increase the business activity within areas with positive impact. Consequently, we have determined 2025 growth targets for loans to areas contributing to climate change mitigation. This takes place under the auspices of Jyske Bank Green Finance Framework.

In 2023, we saw progress in relation to all targets.

Financing renewable energy TWh 3.9 5.0
Loans to low-energy commercial property DKKbn 57.0 60.0
Loans for vehicles, plant and equipment are low-emission % 25.8 30.0

Growth targets

At the end of 2023, renewable energy corresponding to 3.9 TWh was financed against 3.6 TWh at the end of 2022. Continued progress is expected in the coming years although the development in renewable energy will also be driven by political decisions that can be difficult to predict. Read more about the development within renewable energy as a business area on page 43.

The financing of low-energy properties has increased by almost DKK 10bn in 2023 which can mainly be attributed to a good development in Jyske Bank's financing of rental properties. As a result, the target has been raised to DKK 60bn against previously DKK 50bn.

At the end of 2023, loans for low-emission vehicles, plant and equipment accounted for almost 26% against 18.3% at the end of 2022. The development in 2023 has been driven by a higher proportion of low-emission vehicles within passenger cars and passenger transport.

For further information about Jyske Bank Green Finance Framework, we refer to jyskebank.com/investorrelations/ sustainability/gff.

Since climate was identified as our most important impact area, we have quantified the impact by estimating financed emissions associated with our business activities. We use the estimates to follow up on developments and target our efforts.

Going forward, the identification of material impact areas must be seen in connection with CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) where a double materiality assessment is used to identify the material sustainability issues on which we must report.

The comprised business volume accounts for 87% of loans and investments on behalf of our customers and ourselves. For 2023 further information for both loans and asset management has been added. For asset management, information is provided on distribution by asset class and selected industries. For lending, more industries have also been added in addition to those previously stated. In the selection of industries, which is stated separately, the focus of attention has been on industries that account for a large proportion of the business volume (e.g. mortgage lending) or industries that are considered particularly challenged in terms of impact on the climate. The latter based on guidelines from Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA)1 and Net Zero Investment Framework (NZIF)2 .

The development for loans and investments, respectively, are discussed in the following sections. The business volume and the movements from year to year encompassed by the analysis are not comparable with Jyske Bank's traditional measuring of total assets. The business volume which forms part of the analysis also includes loans and investments which have not been included in Jyske Bank's balance sheet, for instance investment on behalf of our customers and loans for which Jyske Bank has the advisory responsibility but which have not been recognised in the balance sheet of Jyske Bank. These loans and investments have been included in the statement since Jyske Bank can impact these through our products and advisory services. On the other hand, investment products where customers make the investment decisions are not included For 2023, financed CO2 emission was estimated for a business volume of DKK 715bn which is approx. DKK 35bn higher than in 2022. The increase in the business volume can primarily be attributed to increasing lending to business customers, the incorporation of funds under management related to Handelsbanken Denmark and a minor increase in our investment portfolio. Total CO2e emission for 2023 is estimated to amount to around 2.1 million tonnes against approx. 1.9 million tonnes at the end of 2022. After three consecutive years with a decrease in total estimated CO2e emissions, we now see an increase fuelled partly by the larger business volume, partly an increase of 3% in total emission intensity. The increase

1) Industries designated by the NZBA include agriculture, aluminium, cement, coal, property, iron and steel, oil and gas, power generation, and transport.

2) NZIF is the most widely implemented net zero framework across investors and all financial institutions in the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ).

Loans

For 2023 the average emission intensity amounts to 2.49 tonnes of CO2e per DKK million, a decline of 2% relative to 2022. The decline is sufficient for the total financed CO2e emission associated with loans to be estimated to be largely unchanged, approx. 1.3 million tonnes of CO2e, even though lending volume has risen by approx. DKK 7bn.

The modest effect from growth in lending volume can be attributed to the fact that the increased volume can be attributed to an increase of approx. DKK 11bn in mortgage loans for low-energy commercial properties (energy label A and B).

It also translates into a 15% drop in the emission intensity of mortgage lending. The emission intensity for home loans to personal customers falls almost correspondingly.

Transport and Agriculture together account for more than 50% of the CO2e emissions for lending and are at the same time the two industries with high emission intensity that account for the largest lending volume. For Transport, the emission intensity fell by 7% compared to 2022, which can be attributed to the inclusion of commercial operating lease agreements with low-emission intensity.

Within manufacturing industry, an increased proportion of companyspecific data has resulted in a 22% decrease in emission intensity, as the company-specific emissions are lower than emissions estimated with emission factors at industry level.

For personal customers, the emission intensity for car loans declined as a result of increased financing of low-emission vehicles.

Overall, the figures for 2023 confirm the picture from previous years' estimates, which is why it is still relevant for Jyske Bank to focus on transport, agriculture and properties (mortgage lending to corporate customers and housing loans to personal customers).

Many of Jyske Bank's present initiatives are targeted at properties as we offer solutions and services to both personal and corporate customers. For instance, advisory services about energy renovation of the climate screen and change of source of heating of the property and green mortgage loans to corporate customers. The effect of these initiatives is, however, significantly lower than the effect of societal conditions such as the increasing proportion of renewable energy in the energy mix.

Emission intensity

Investment

Asset management

Overall, the emission intensity increased by 6%. Broken down by asset type, it is evident that there were significant movements behind the development: the emission intensity for equities declined by 27% and, conversely, the emission intensity for corporate bonds and covered bonds increased by 82% and 26% respectively.

For mortgage bonds, which account for the majority of covered bonds, the addition of funds under management from the former Handelsbanken Denmark led to an increase in the emission intensity of 26%, although endeavours were made during the year to reduce the effect.

For equities, there is a built-in CO2 reduction target in most investment strategies, and this has contributed to the significant decrease in emission intensity.

CO2 reduction is an integrated part of Jyske Bank's approach to responsible and sustainable investment. It has thus been decided that all equity strategies work with CO2 reduction. The decision will take effect as from 1 January 2024.

As a new feature, asset management is distributed into three groups based on Net Zero Investment Framework (NZIF)3 . In NZIF, the majority of the industries are classified as 'material', and these industries have subsequently been distributed into 'higher impact' and 'lower impact'4 . Industries that are not classified as 'material' are included in the 'Other' group.

3) NZIF is used as a methodology to determine the extent to which our plans, strategies and developments in emissions are consistent with our net-zero target in 2050.

4) "Higher impact" is defined as Climate Action 100+ companies and companies assessed by Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI).

Out of a total of DKK 136.7bn under management, DKK 9bn, close to 7%, is invested in a number of industries with 'higher impact', and these account for 38% of the financed CO2e emissions. These are primarily equity investments, and a significant proportion of these are placed in equity funds that are subject to expectations of CO2 reduction.

Danish mortgage bonds account for DKK 75bn out of the DKK 122bn in 'lower impact', and the development in the emission intensity hereof has been discussed above.

In asset management, we focus on 'higher-impact' industries as we want to focus on companies that are closely linked to fossil fuels, directly and indirectly, and thus companies that contribute to causing potential climate change and which must transition to low-emission and ultimately to net-zero emission societies.

We also participate in a new Sustainalytics engagement programme relating to Net Zero Transition. Moreover, we still participate actively in Climate Action 100+ in the investor-driven engagement at Vistra and Walmart.

Investment portfolio

The impact analysis includes approx. DKK 75bn relating to the Group's own investments, and they mainly consist of Danish mortgage bonds and other types of bonds, e.g. corporate bonds.

For 2023, the financed CO2e emission is estimated to amount to 170,916 tonnes of CO2e and the average emission intensity is 2.3 tonnes of CO2e per million DKK. As a result of the large proportion of Danish mortgage bonds, the average emission intensity is still at a relatively low level, although it has increased by 10% compared to 2022. The increase can be attributed to higher investment in high-CO2 emission industries, e.g. shipping.

Data quality

For further considerations on sustainability and Jyske Bank's own investments, please refer to jyskebank.com/ investorrelations/governance/code-of-conduct. A complete overview of the data quality is available on page 216.

Despite more company-specific data, the data quality
score rose in 2023 to 3.89 against 3.83 in 2022. The minor
deterioration in data quality is due to an update of Finance
Denmark's CO2 model according to which estimates for
properties with expired EPCs are assessed to have a data

Waste as an impact area

Also waste is identified as a material impact area for Jyske Bank. We gained the first experience with the area in 2021 when our initial impact analysis was based on statistics for non-recycled waste and hazardous waste. The analysis showed that 13% of Jyske Bank's corporate loans are granted to sectors in which a large amount of waste is not recycled and that approx. 50% of the waste from Danish households are not sorted for recycling. It was also ascertained that limited data were available. For hazardous waste, it was for instance not possible to see which sectors were generating hazardous waste and consequently it was not possible at that point in time to assess Jyske Bank's impact on hazardous waste.

It appeared from the initial impact analysis that waste was part of the basis of the investment decisions of companies in industries where waste involves a material risk.

In 2021, the conclusion was that Jyske Bank's possibility of impacting the amount of non-recycled waste relates to dialogue and information to the customers and that additional quantification requires a wider basis of data.

Since our analysis in 2021 a new waste framework directive has been introduced in Denmark involving that both private households and business enterprises must sort waste in many fractions. This directive will have an impact on the volume of waste which cannot be recycled and may imply that it is other industries than before that have the highest proportion of non-recycled waste.

Within PRB there are also no guidelines for the area. According to UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) few banks are working with waste as impact area. Consequently, we have decided to follow UNEP FI's recommendation to assume a progressive approach for target setting. This implies that we in 2023 determined a practice target for waste.

Waste is a natural part of the dialogue that our sustainability specialists have with corporate customers, and waste is often one of the metrics that customers are advised to report on if they do not already do so.

Some of our large corporate customers who have raised sustainability-linked financing also have waste as one of the metrics that determine the rate of interest on the loan.

We will revisit our impact analysis in 2024 and, as an extension of this work, make any adjustments to our areas of most significant impact and identify associated opportunities for commercial action. selected equity strategies via thres 350

Since the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation took effect, waste has subsequently been included in

the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors, known as Principal Adverse Indicators (PAIs). For assets under management, we calculate the percentage of hazardous and radioactive waste generated by investee companies. In 2023, Jyske Bank exercised active ownership on the topic of waste

via engagement programmes from Sustainalytics under the responsible cleantech heading. Jyske Bank is monitoring this negative impact for hold values.

The governance structure for sustainability at Jyske Bank sets out clear roles and responsibilities to help create clarity on direction and scope and also to ensure sufficient progress and cohesion across business areas.

As sustainability becomes more and more integrated into our core activities, and stakeholders' expectations of Jyske Bank's work mount, more decisions will be cross-cutting and strategic. As a result, Jyske Bank reinforced its governance structure in 2023 by:

    1. setting up a forum for sustainable and responsible financing to decide on important actions in that area, and
    1. increasing the number of permanent members of the Group's Sustainability Committee to ensure broader representation of business units.

The new forum in the financing area is an adjunct to the Forum for Responsible Investment (FAI), which is the Jyske Bank Group's hub for considering and deciding on overarching issues relating to responsible and sustainable investment. FAI was established in 2010.

The governance structure is reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Forum for Responsible Investment

Considers and decides on overarching issues relating to responsible and sustainable investment, including investment cases of fundamental importance (e.g. companies and countries), matters of approach, active ownership and exclusion lists.

Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Financing

Also serves as the Group's committee for the Green Finance Framework.

ESG risks refer to potential significant negative impacts on the Group – whether financial or reputational – as a result of current or future environmental, social or governancerelated events.

ESG risks are considered one of several risk drivers behind the Group's main risk types. Therefore, ESG risks are not treated as an independent type of risk, but are part of the management of credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and non-financial risks.

Further description and analyses of the Group's management of ESG risks can be found in the report Risk and Capital Management 2023 on jyskebank.com/investorrelations/ capitalstructure.

Identification and assessment of ESG risks at portfolio level

Jyske Bank has a framework that is used as a basis for the Group's work with ESG risks at portfolio level, and which forms the foundation for, among other things, climate stress test as well as internal and external reporting.

The aim of the framework is:

  • To have a combined and documented understanding of how ESG risks affect Jyske Bank, both commercially and in terms of the Group's overall risk profile across the different types of risk.
  • To have a foundation for prioritising and focusing the forward-looking work in relation to ESG events.

The work within the framework is risk-based, with identification and assessments being continuously updated and expanded – not least as the underlying data basis improves. The framework builds on best practices as set out by the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Banking Authority (EBA).

ESG risks materialize differently in the short, medium and
long-term, respectively and also depend on the specific
scenario considered. In Jyske Bank's framework, assess
ment is made on the basis of scenarios developed by NGFS
(Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening
the Financial System), which are adapted to Jyske Bank's
specific context - especially in relation to being a Danish
credit institution.
The Jyske Bank Group's framework for the management
of ESG risks identifies relevant ESG events for the Group
following an event-based approach which allows us to react
to specific events. A distinction is made between physical
and transition risks, where physical risks are divided into
acute and chronic risks, as it is important in the later assess
ment whether it is an immediate danger or instead a longer
term or structural change.

For all ESG events the potential negative impact is assessed. Materiality is the product of impact and probability. The materiality assessment consists of three levels, which indicate whether the issue is assessed as non-material (grey), potentially material (light green) or material (dark green). The overview on the right shows examples of areas that currently have either dark green or light green materiality assessment, which are thus particularly important areas that Jyske Bank will focus even more on in the future.

If an ESG event materializes, the impact occurs through a transmission channel. The transmission channel is the connection between the ESG event and a possible financial loss for the Jyske Bank Group. For example, a flood (physical ESG event) may potentially result in a lower value for the bank's property collaterals in the affected area. This decrease in value could result in higher impairment charges. Other examples of relevant transmission channels for Jyske Bank could be a reduction in asset value, increased operating costs and lower turnover for companies.

Understanding the specific transmission channels for ESG events is essential for assessing the potential impact of a given ESG risk event for Jyske Bank.

At the present basis of analysis, it is especially through transition risks that Jyske Bank is exposed to ESG risks. The reason for this is a combination of the fact that Jyske Bank lends to industries that are characterised as energy-intensive, and that Denmark has ambitious targets for the green transition. This means that there is a high probability of regulatory changes, technological changes and strong interest in the area from the Group's stakeholders.

When it comes to physical risks, it is mainly acute risks in the form of swings in temperature and precipitation that we need to focus on in future, but only for a small part of the portfolio. With chronic risks, only water consumption and water scarcity present a potential risk, and again only for a small part of the portfolio.

The ESG risk picture is part of the risk organisation's ongoing monitoring and assessment of the overall risk picture.

Identification and assessment of ESG risks at customer level

Based on the requirements of assessment of the customer's ESG risks in the FSA's Executive Order on the management and control of banks, etc. and Jyske Bank's credit policy, an internally developed ESG profile was implemented in 2023 in which the corporate customer's risk is assessed either via machine screening or a questionnaire completed by the account manager. Today, this profile is a permanent part of credit recommendations.

The ESG profile ensures a more uniform approach to assessing customers, just as it gives the individual adviser a structured framework in connection with the customer dialogue. This results in an identification and assessment of the customers' current status in the ESG area while at the same time achieving a better shared understanding of the future opportunities or risks that relate to the customer's business model. These assessments also form part of our ongoing monitoring and risk management.

Governance and policies for ESG risks

Responsibility for Jyske Bank's methods for measuring, analysing and reporting the Group's ESG risks is assigned to the Risk Unit under the Group's Chief Risk Officer.

For instance, the risk unit carries out reporting on ESG risks to the Supervisory Board and its risk committee. It also reports to relevant stakeholders and decision makers in the organisation, such as the Sustainability Committee. The Supervisory Board has overall responsibility for the Group's strategy for sustainability, which involves both risks and opportunities.

The Group's policy on sustainability and corporate social responsibility sets out the overall framework, standards and guidelines for how the Jyske Bank Group works with sustainability and social responsibility in all parts of the Group's own and business-oriented activities. The policy is supported by a number of other policies, including policies for the Group's main risk types. As a bank, we can make the biggest difference via the activities we finance through our lending and investments on customers' behalf. We need data in order to measure our progress. There are currently challenges in terms of both data availability and data quality, but these challenges must not prevent us from acting and gathering experience.

Lending takes place in accordance with the Jyske Bank
Group's credit policy. The credit policy states that the credit
assessment must include an assessment of whether the
company has identified and considered issues and any
risks related to sustainability that may affect the company's
business foundation, debt-servicing ability, earnings and
financial strength.
Our policy on responsible and sustainable investment sets
out how sustainability risks are to be integrated into the in
vestment decision process and investment advice.

Data availability and quality

Climate is currently the focus of attention, but going forward, it will also be necessary to work on data availability and quality in other areas, for example biodiversity. It is also expected that the focus of attention will be on social issues, e.g. human and labour rights.

Jyske Bank uses Finance Denmark's common model for cal-culating CO2 and wants to contribute to the development of solutions that make it simple and efficient for customers to calculate and report on ESG issues. Jyske Bank has, for ex-ample, contributed with sparring to a free ESG reporting tool for the real estate industry, which aims to standardize work with and reporting on ESG among Danish players.

In addition, many of Jyske Bank's corporate customers are small and medium-sized companies that are not comprised by the Taxonomy Regulation due to their size. Some of these companies have activities that can be classified as sustainable according to the taxonomy regulation and which are financed by Jyske Bank, but they will not be recognized in Jyske Bank's GAR until they are comprised by CSRD and thereby the Taxonomy Regulation.

The EU's taxonomy spills over into our business activities

Jyske Bank's criteria for lending areas that mitigate climate change are defined in Jyske Bank's Green Finance Framework. The framework also shows the extent to which the loans meet the criteria in the EU's taxonomy for activities that are environmentally sustainable. There is a close connection for most areas of lending, and we anticipate to use the definitions of the EU Taxonomy in the framework. When Jyske Bank provides sustainability-linked loans, there may also be focus on the taxonomy's definitions in relation to determination of KPIs for loans.

Jyske Bank's reporting according to the Taxonomy Regulation is available on pages 217-237 of this report.

These years, several significant pieces of legislation on sustainability are coming into force, and 2023 has therefore been characterised by preparation, so that we secure the necessary knowledge, data and documentation to be able to report on our sustainability activities.

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, CSRD

From the financial year 2024, Jyske Bank must report according to CSRD, which is a new EU directive that tightens the requirements for companies' sustainability reporting and replaces the existing directive for non-financial reporting, NFRD.

The aim of CSRD is to ensure that companies report consistently and reliably, and to increase the number of companies reporting on their sustainability efforts. This will increase transparency, with benefits for investors, suppliers and customers alike.

CSRD will be implemented gradually by company size over the next three years.

According to the principle of double materiality a sustainability issue must be included in our reporting if it is assessed that Jyske Bank has a material impact on the sustainability issue now and/or in future, positively or negatively, or if the sustainability issue has a material impact on Jyske Bank's financial ratios now or in future, positively or negatively.

Green Asset Ratio

The Taxonomy Regulation sets out a classification system defining what economic activities count as environmentally sustainable.

As part of CSRD, Jyske Bank in 2023 prepared a double materiality assessment and has thus identified the sustainability issues on which the Group must report in 2024. the taxonomy. For personal customers, the financial institution carries out the assessment of alignment.

The objective is to improve transparency of sustainable activities in society. All listed companies with more than 500 employees must report what proportion of their activities align with the taxonomy regulation. This also applies to financial institutions, which must for the first time calculate the Green Asset Ratio (GAR), the proportion of the portfolio aligned with the taxonomy. In the previous two years, financial institutions have calculated the proportion of the portfolio that was eligible with the taxonomy.

Currently, reporting covers two out of six environmental objectives. In 2023, the criteria for the last four environmental objectives were published, and companies must for the first time report on activities covered by these objectives. In financial institutions, reporting will not be available until next year when our reporting can be based on customer reporting.

Jyske Bank's Green Asset Ratio 2023

The financial institutions' calculation of GAR must be based on the counterparty's/corporate customer's reporting on We expect that in the coming years we will see an increase in the customers' share of taxonomy-aligned activities as the necessary documentation for existing activities is provided.

Jyske Bank's Green Asset Ratio for 2023 has been computed at 3.67%, when financing of corporate customers is weighted by the counterparty's Capex KPI, and 3.70% when weighted by turnover KPI from customers covered by the Taxonomy Regulation.

Jyske Bank's GAR is significantly lower than the proportion of the eligible part of the portfolio. The lower level was to be expected since alignment requires compliance with technical screening criteria, that the activity does not harm other environmental objectives and finally compliance with minimum social safeguards in relation to human and labour rights.

Legislation

We contribute most by participating in the transition alongside our customers and investee companies. This is reflected in our range of solutions and services, which is constantly being expanded to give customers increased opportunities to make sustainable choices, and in our aim to engage in customer dialogue and active ownership at investee companies.

Climate and environment

Sustainability will continue to evolve as a discipline in the years ahead, which means that training will be a permanent priority to ensure that both advisers and specialists can add value.

It's all about business but begins with ourselves. Responsibility and an ambitious approach to banking operations are a condition of credibility towards customers and other stakeholders.

Action through customer dialogue

Jyske Bank's strategy is to achieve long-term profitable growth through local presence and customer focus. We therefore consider it our role to support our customers' needs and wishes to ensure that they have information on, and access to, competitive solutions. We aim to help our customers make the green transition – which makes sustainability an integral and entirely natural part of our customer dialogue and advice and is a key part of our product range and of the activities and the communication that customers encounter.

Dialogue with personal customers

In our advisory services to personal customers concerning sustainable choices, it is especially housing, cars and investments that are the focal point. This is reflected in the products we develop and in the activities and communication the customers encounter. This could be, for example, webinars with experts in energy improvement of the home or targeted messages about opportunities to apply for subsidies from public funds, for home owners whose home meets given criteria.

Collaboration on energy improvements

In 2023, the focus of attention was across the country on energy renovation of residential property. Subsidies for heat pumps were, for instance, made available from two government funds for all-year homes meeting various criteria. The government and Finance Denmark also launched a collaboration to make it cheaper to replace an oil or gas boiler with a greener and cheaper solution. As part of the efforts, Jyske Bank launched an attractive loan product during the year for homeowners looking to upgrade their boilers. The loan has a reduced rate of interest, and there is no start-up fee to the bank or registration fee to the government. The loan will be on the shelf until the end of 2028.

In total, we granted 421 loans exclusively for home energy improvements in 2023.

In our advisory services to personal customers concerning In addition to the collaboration with Botjek, which carries
sustainable choices, it is especially housing, cars and in out energy and maintenance reviews for home owners at

Investment advice

Investment is an important driver of the sustainable development to which we wish to contribute.

When we advise our customers on investments or manage a customer's portfolio, we have an obligation to ask about their preferences in relation to sustainability. We ask about the customer's wishes by focusing on sustainable initiatives in two ways.

First, the customer can state how much of their investment they want to invest sustainably via two key figures, the EU's Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and the EU's Taxonomy Regulation5 .

Second, the customer can state whether the investment should actively help minimise negative impacts on the environment and society, for example by reducing carbon emissions or minimising fossil fuels.

Mapping the customers' sustainability preferences started in 2022, and in 2023 the question frame has been further developed.

5) The EU's Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) defines an investment as sustainable if the company contributes to an environmental or social objective, does no harm to other environmental or social objectives, and complies with good corporate governance. The EU's Taxonomy Regulation is a classification system with six environmental objectives. An investment is considered aligned if the company contributes significantly to one or more environmental objectives – without doing harm to any of the others. It must also meet minimum social safeguards for human and employee rights.

Exclusion

De-selection of companies within tar sand and coal

Jyske Bank's approach to sustainable investment is based on four elements:

Practically all funds are classified as an Article 8 fund

We develop our supply of investment products on an ongoing basis. In 2023, 39 funds managed by Jyske Invest Fund Management A/S have had binding criteria regarding sustainability and are thus categorised as Article 8 funds under the SFDR. The focus of attention is in particular on climate changes, since the reduction of CO2e emissions is generally considered one of the relevant parameters in the sustainable development and transition and crucial for meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature increases. As at 2 January 2024, a further 20 funds were categorised as Article 8 funds under the SFDR.

In 2023, Jyske Bank excluded companies from our investment solutions whose revenue is associated with the extraction of thermal coal and tar sand and where revenue related to this business exceeds 5%. This opt-out applies within own asset management, but it is to the widest possible degree endeavoured to comply with this with respect to all investments.

Dialogue with corporate customers

All of Jyske Bank's corporate customers are encountering a general increase in demands from their surroundings for them to deliver on ESG parameters and hence demand specific advisory services on sustainability. This has been particularly noticeable in agriculture and construction in recent years. In order to meet the customers' needs, we strive to be more than a financial partner, so that we enter as a credible and practical sparring partner into the dialogue with the customer. We do this, among other things, with our dedicated team working actively on giving customers and employees input on how they can get better at integrating sustainability into their day-to-day work.

Theme days for farming customers

In January 2023, we held three theme days for the bank's farming customers. The aim was to create a forum for sharing knowledge and experience, give participants an insight into the bank's initiatives and focus areas, and inspire them to begin making and documenting sustainable improvements. The day ended with customers having the opportunity to sign up to a networking group on sustainability. A number of participants reported that the event provided both inspiration and reassurance about an uncertain future.

The farmer of the future

At the Agromek agricultural fair in Herning each January, the Future Farmers competition recognises the achievements of three farmers in turning good ideas into results in the areas of sustainability, markets and technology.

In 2023, the winners of the three categories were:

Sustainability: Go-gris

The team behind Go-gris won for working not only on biodiversity but also on the aquatic environment, animal welfare, bioenergy and employee welfare.

Markets:

Kasper and Peter Mejnertsen, Mejnerts

Mejnerts won for covering the entire value chain themselves, serving as farmers, millers and potato packers and selling direct to customers.

Technology:

Network event for large property managers

Six network events on sustainability in the property sector were held in 2023 across the country. The events were aimed at customers with one or more rental properties, mainly large property managers and portfolios. These events are a good example of our growing dialogue with property customers on the footprint of their properties. The events all focused on energy efficiency and documenting carbon emissions, as well as the customer's social and governance strengths in terms of sustainability. A further two events will be held in the spring 2024 in Aarhus and Fredericia.

Help to prepare climate accounts

In the spring of 2023, Jyske Finans entered into a partnership with consulting firm Nordic Green Solutions on a scheme which is being offered to selected customers looking to work actively on integrating sustainability into their strategy and/or reporting. Like Jyske Finans, Nordic Green Solutions is helping Danish businesses move in a greener direction, with the emphasis on thinking green rather than acting green. The firm's goal is to make industry climate-neutral. With their expertise and advice, they help customers both to apply for funding, and to execute projects to reduce carbon emissions. In this way, Jyske Finans and Nordic Green Solutions are helping make green investments both manageable and realistic.

Semi-annual risk overview

The growing focus on and importance of sustainability is reflected in Jyske Bank's semi-annual risk overview based on responses from corporate customers on the probability and impact of various factors in terms of achieving their strategic plans. Sustainability has ranked highest for probability several times, and in the latest edition based on responses in the second half of 2023 it is assessed that the impact is on the increase.

To meet the demand for dialogue and advice on sustainability, Jyske Bank will continue its training activities for the bank's employees in 2024. To start with, advisers working with large corporate customer will be offered

tailored training in how they can keep up with upcoming legislation, sustainable finance options, sustainability in the boardroom, and reporting.

Tailored training of employees

Risk overview

High

Mortgages make up 70% of our lending, and Jyske Bank is leading the way in creating solutions and transparency around sustainability in mortgage bond investing. We are doing this by publishing indicators such as energy labels for cover pools, integrating them into investment processes and finding good solutions for mortgage bond investors. In 2023, we continued the network on Danish mortgage business and sustainability for pension funds that we started in 2022.

In 2023, we also held engaging dialogue meetings with seven Danish issuers of covered bonds. The aim was to put particular focus on useful and relevant data for working on objectives to reduce CO2 emissions. It has been agreed to continue the dialogue at meetings held at least once a year to discuss current sustainability issues.

Jyske Realkredit awarded a prize for highest volume of green bonds sold

In 2023, Jyske Realkredit was awarded a prize for issuing the highest amount of green bonds in volume terms. The award ceremony took place during Euronext Sustainability Week

Mortgage loans account for DKK 352.7bn, or 70% of the Jyske Bank Group's loans and around 30% of the mortgage loans have been granted for the financing of property living up to the criteria of Jyske Bank's Green Finance Framework, providing the basis for the issue of green bonds.

in early September 2023 when Euronext Securities Copenhagen awarded prizes for sustainable financing.

The price is an expression that Jyske Realkredit is in a strong position vis-a-vis borrowers as well as bond investors with the large amount of issued green bonds and transparency within sustainability reporting.

In addition, the prize is a recognition of the Jyske Bank Group's efforts financing a green transition in the Danish society – especially in the corporate customer area where we have seen a close dialogue with customers about sustainability and green financing. Carsten Træholt Frie, Head of Property Financing at Jyske Bank, states:

"At Jyske Bank, Corporate Clients, sustainability and green transition are included as an important element in the dialogue with corporate customers. We want to support corporate customers' development of their businesses also in this area. Therefore, it is also important to offer support with green financing of buildings and supply systems".

Since 2018, Jyske Realkredit's Sustainable Transparency Template has offered investors insight into both the energy standard of the homes for which Jyske Realkredit has granted loans, and the energy used in the homes broken down by resource. For instance, investors can see the proportion of the total energy consumed that consists of renewable energy. The template also shows calculated CO2eemissions for the loan portfolio.

Renewable energy – new opportunities, more consideration

An increased production of renewable energy is a prerequisite for the transformation of the energy system, which is crucial to achieving the Paris Agreement's target of limiting the average temperature increase to 1.5 degrees.

Renewable energy is one of Jyske Bank's specialities within the corporate customer area. Over 14 years, knowledge and skills have been accumulated in the area, and since the beginning of 2022, we have doubled the resources in the Renewable Energy department, which is located physically in Silkeborg and Copenhagen.

Jyske Bank has thus financed wind and solar cell farms for many years. Jyske Bank has also financed the first PtX systems in the market, and generally follows our existing customers with re-spect to new technologies.

Jyske Bank has set the ambitious target of having financed 5 TWh of renewable energy production by the end of 2025. That corresponds to 1.25 million households out of around 2.8 million households in Denmark in total. At the end of 2023, we had financed 3.9 TWh.

Trends

Batteries

Batteries will be part of future infrastructure. Batteries can increase supply security and protect the power network by providing short-term storage and frequency control. Battery and other storage technologies are also essential for achieving 100% fossil-free power production – since it is necessary to compensate when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing.

Biogas

Upgraded biogas is to account for 100% of Danish gas consumption in 2030. This will require substantial expansion of Danish biogas production. The biogas market is increasingly being consolidated by ever fewer and more professional players with the financial muscle and operational experience to deliver large-scale projects.

Hydrogen

The establishment of hydrogen infrastructure in Germany will result in larger sales opportunities and a steadily increasing production of green hydrogen in Denmark.

Strong growth These years, we are seeing increased investments in renewable energy projects and the use of new technologies in renewable energy projects. For example, we see more hybrid farms, where wind turbines, solar panels and batteries are combined, resulting in greater complexity – also with respect to financing. At the same time, players are increasingly professional, and competition in the loan market is growing, partly because a number of European competitors also operate in Denmark. All of this is asking considerably more of us as a bank and of our financial solutions.

In the coming years, renewable energy will continue to be an area of rapid development with new business opportunities for Jyske Bank. Large foreign investors will increasingly move into the Danish market for sustainable energy assets, for example through pension funds or listed companies.

From political quarters, we expect to see new legislation on energy farms in 2024, and 9GW of the agreed offshore wind farms to be established around 2030 are expected to be tendered during 2024.

Demands for comprehensive impact assessments for humans and animals as well as increased compensation for close neighbours of sustainable energy facilities indicate an increasing attention to biodiversity resulting in greater community involvement and local ownership.

THEME:

We consider it crucial to integrate sustainability both into our business activities and into the operation of the bank itself. Our target is to reduce carbon emissions from the operation of the bank by 65% by 2030 relative to 2020. Our own climate footprint (scope 1 and 2) is limited, and we can make the biggest difference through business activities, but the change begins with ourselves.

Sustainable banking is many things and is both about increased awareness, changing behaviour and CO2 reduction. In 2023, we have continued to work with a number of different initiatives, such as selecting energy sources, increasing energy efficiency and forming new habits, but in addition we have also created new initiatives.

New branches

In 2023, especially the acquisition of Handelsbanken's Danish activities left its mark in the form of branch mergers. Branches and departments were merged, and premises were vacated, leading to changes in the building stock due to divestments and acquisitions. The outcome was that Jyske Bank operated across 101 branches (including 96 branches and a 24-hour customer centre) at the end of the year. Closing branches also meant that there was a lot of different inventory such as crockery and furniture that was no longer usable in the bank. All inventory was sorted and categorized so it could be sold or donated. Some of the furniture was put up for resale while others were donated to associations In 2022, the Group mapped its many different buildings to see which roofs were suitable for solar panels. The first panels were fitted the same year to the roof of our head office in Silkeborg, covering a total area of 1,000 square metres. Further panels were added in 2023 both to head office and to the roof of Jyske Finans, which operates as an independent company within the Jyske Bank Group. This will help reduce our electricity purchases and carbon emissions. Altogether, Jyske Bank's solar panels have a production capacity of around 500,000 kWh a year, which corresponds to a decrease in our carbon emissions of around 234 tonnes a year.

and non-profit organisations, and the furniture that could no longer be used was disposed of in an environmentally correct manner. A total of 22 tonnes were either recycled or broken down. Even what ended up as waste and was incinerated was made into slag, which is i.e. used in connection with the construction of new roads.

Solar panels

We are not planning additional panels in 2024, partly because further changes may still need to be made to the number and location of branches around the country.

Charging stations

Over the years, charging stations have been established at several of Jyske Bank's branches and locations. These are primarily used for charging the bank's cars, but at the head office in Silkeborg, 8 charging stations have been established which are publicly accessible. This number will double during 2024.

Own production of renewable energy in 2023

Reduced electricity consumption

For years, we have been replacing traditional light bulbs with LED lamps with much lower energy consumption and a longer life. In 2023, it was time to replace the light fittings in one of the bank's largest offices, Capital Markets. The upgrade will lead to an expected annual reduction in both electricity consumption and CO2 emission of 85,000 kwh and 40 tonnes of CO2e, respectively.

In 2024, we plan to replace the lighting in our parking garages, which will save around 145,000 kWh of electricity a year and reduced our carbon emissions by around 68 tonnes of CO2e.

Waste sorting

A waste initiative in 2023 saw the installation of 200 sorting stations at our branches where both staff and customers can sort waste into three different fractions. All branches are also able to sort waste into no fewer than ten different fractions, such as glass and cardboard.

The aim is to reduce the amount of residual waste by ensuring that as much as possible is recycled. When waste is sent for recycling, these materials can be used in the production of new goods. Sometimes, however, we prefer not to create any waste at all – for example, a keyboard and other IT equipment that could instead be reused by a colleague – we think that this is common sense.

Limited fleet of company cars

Work-related travel for internal and external meetings may be made using the bank's own loaner vehicles. The bank currently has a fleet of 33 cars, and we are constantly looking to reduce it further in line with our actual needs. With a growing number of meetings held online, we anticipate a continuous reduction in the fleet, and this accelerated in 2023 and will continue in 2024.

Purchase of goods and servicesr

Our purchases of goods and services amount to more than DKK 1.8 billion a year including IT services from Bankdata and JN Data. These purchases are made according to the principles set out in our procurement policy, which ensure not only good prices, quality and terms, but also that we take account of relevant ethical, environmental, political and social considerations. Work on further developing responsible supplier conduct, including an update of our procurement policy, will continue in 2024.

Credit and debit cards from recycled plastic

Jyske Bank's cards are made of recycled plastic. Already at the beginning of 2021, we began issuing cards in partnership with IDEMIA.

The percentage of recycled plastic is 85%, and half of all of the bank's cards have now been replaced. Jyske Bank's Visa/Dankort cards make up a large part of our total number of cards, and these cards will begin to be made from recycled plastic from the beginning of 2024.

Social

Our social responsibility covers and impacts many different stakeholders, such as our employees, customers, business partners and society in general. Combined with our goal of being transparent and responsible in terms of our attitudes, our values and our conduct, we are subject to a wide range of demands and expectations.

At Jyske Bank, we have a constant focus on ensuring well-being, equal development opportunities, and a safe and healthy working environment for all our employees.

It is crucial for us to ensure high levels of IT and data security so that customers' private and financial data are safe. We also work diligently to prevent financial crime and maintain a healthy corporate culture.

Finally, we believe in supporting an equal and fair society by making a difference where we can in areas such as young people's financial literacy and ensuring that rights are secured, including human rights.

In the Jyske Bank Group, employees are considered the most important resource and a prerequisite for our success. It is our ambition to attract, retain and develop employees with the skills, the conduct and the attitudes that form the foundation for meeting our strategy and targets.

In 2023 a number of initiatives have further contributed to ensuring that the Group is considered an attractive workplace that offers job satisfaction and equal rights and development opportunities for all.

Career development

Development and a good working life go hand in hand at Jyske Bank, with a wide range of learning and development opportunities for all employees. Most recently, we have increased attention to internal career opportunities by offering all employees a career conversation with an HR partner looking at opportunities and expectations for changing jobs within the Group.

Focus on the local working environment

We also started up the Jyske Work Lab, where we are looking into whether local experimentation with the way we work can provide new ways of moving job satisfaction and the working environment in a positive direction. These activities will continue in 2024.

The Jyske Bank Group attaches great importance to both the physical and the mental working environment. This applies both to the central working environment organisation and local working environment groups, where managers and union representatives work together on day-to-day workplace issues at branch level. All union representatives complete Jyske Bank's own working environment training programme, which ensures that competence is increased, and efforts are anchored throughout the organisation. In 2023, we paid particular attention to welcoming new local working environment groups following the integration of Handelsbanken Denmark and PFA Bank. Jyske Bank has chosen a structured approach to ensure that all new employees get off to a good start in the Group. The goal is an integration process that gives employees a sense of belonging, engagement, achievement and job satisfaction as quickly as possible. Especially in relation to the change from study to working life there is a risk of dissatisfaction, which is why we work purposefully with onboarding adapted to the individual's role and organisational affiliation, and therefore we have created a tailored onboarding package depending on the job to be carried out. Some aspects are common to all new employees, such as a new e-learning programme introduced in 2023 to provide insights into Jyske Bank's corporate culture and various practical matters.

Working life off to a good start at Jyske Bank

2023 saw particular focus on onboarding our 630 new colleagues from the former Handelsbanken Denmark and the 43 colleagues from PFA Bank. The onboarding included learning activities developed together with employees responsible for the relevant area of work. In addition, more than 400 former Handelsbanken employees participated in a half-day induction programme at our Silkeborg head office, with tours and presentations.

All managers from the former Handelsbanken Denmark completed a course in values-based leadership during 2023 as part of their integration with Jyske Bank. The activities in the course helped increase consistency of leadership and ensure rapid integration - both professionally and socially. We will carry out similar initiatives for PFA Bank's employees and managers in 2024.

Attractive workplace

From student life to working life

Recent years have seen a special focus on creating a better and more balanced transition from student life to working life. The financial sector is high on young people's wish list for where they would like to begin their career. In 2023, Jyske Bank moved up eight places to 26th in consulting firm Universum's survey of the workplaces where Danish business and finance students would most like to work when they graduate.

This improved ranking is a tribute to our work on attracting, hiring and retaining graduates, partly through our trainee and graduate programmes which are constantly being developed and improved. Young people also benefit from various networking opportunities – for example, we have a dedicated network for all employees under the age of 35 which can meet in Aarhus, Silkeborg and Copenhagen.

At Jyske Bank, we also work with universities and other academic institutions turning out Financial Economists and Bachelors of Finance, such as Aarhus University and the business academies in Aarhus, Copenhagen and Kolding. Work on building and maintaining relationships with academic institutions and student associations is a priority as part of Jyske Bank's efforts to raise its profile as an attractive workplace.

In 2023, Jyske Bank participated in 77 network events, including a CV workshop at the Aarhus Business Academy. At the workshop, a good and constructive dialogue was established with about 30 students about how to write a good CV and a good job application, including focus on job interviews. The students were able to ask questions and receive immediate and qualified feedback, which helped to ensure a high level of activity and a good atmosphere.

Further focus on employee engagement

One of the Jyske Bank Group's strategic targets is to be among the top three companies in the Danish financial sector for employee engagement by 2025. In our annual survey of job satisfaction, engagement and loyalty we have witnessed a positive trend in employee engagement which is now at its highest level since 2016 when these surveys were introduced across the Group. This trend is extra positive seen in light of the fact that 2023 was marked by many integration activities in connection with the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark.

In 2023 the score was up by 1 point relative to last year's score of 79 points. Benchmark for top 3 in the sector had in 2023 risen to 82 points, the average in the financial sector being 77 points. Jyske Bank managed in 2023 to lift the level even further relative to the sector average which is at the same level as last year.

The advance was due primarily to the strong efforts being made locally in close cooperation between the leader, the union representative and the employees. Reports prepared on the basis of the survey offer an insight into what makes the biggest difference in terms of increasing employee engagement. At Group level, we have in 2023 seen special focus on the role of the leaders with respect to boosting and supporting the continued positive development.

Diversity at Jyske Bank

Diversity at Jyske Bank is about having a sharper focus on inclusion and diversity among the Group's employees, as it is considered an advantage to have several different inputs on a given matter. We believe that the differences between us help to bring new perspectives and nuances to our everyday work. Diversity is therefore important for innovation and for ensuring that we develop the right solutions – for our shareholders, customers and employees.

Therefore, we continuously work to ensure a culture where all the Group's employees have an experience of belonging and being respected – for who they are. At Jyske Bank, diversity is valued, and we want to actively promote a culture of respect for the individual and aim for everyone to have a sense of belonging and the opportunity to realize their full career potential. We are working on a variety of initiatives which aim to create equal opportunities for all and allow everyone to be themselves – regardless of gender, age and ethnicity. In 2023, we identified relevant diversity areas and have, for example, established a procedure for how to break down barriers to diversity in our recruitment process. Going forward, we will be working with diversity parameters other than gender, including age and education.

We believe that also focus on diversity will help us attract and retain the best employees. Read our diversity policy jyskebank.com/investorrelations/governance/ code-of-conduct

To ensure a continuous, cross-organisational focus on diversity, we have established a diversity committee with representatives from many different employee groups and management levels in the Group. The committee works on initiatives, awareness and inspiration with the overall aim of removing barriers to diversity, for example by working on unconscious bias in everything from re-

cruitment and employee development to client advisory services and communication materials. During 2023, the committee was, among other things, inspired by presentations from CBS (Copenhagen Business School), discussed frameworks and ideas for concrete activities and discussed relevant and current issues and success stories in the Group.

Women in management

There are many aspects of our work on diversity and inclusion, but one low-hanging fruit in the financial sector, and at Jyske Bank in particular, is gender diversity. Our strategic target is for 30%-33% of the bank's managers to be women in 2025, and currently 28% of the banks managers are women against 27% at the end of 2022.

We have worked hard in recent years on increasing the share of women managers as part of recruitment and management training, and raising awareness of the value of diversity. The work with gender diversity is a lengthy process that takes time, but we can see and expect that the initiatives we have launched over the past few years will work.

When it comes to recruitment, we have started using the tool Develop Diverse to ensure that our job adverts appeal equally to women and men – including at management level - and provides alternative suggestions if our choice of words favours one gender over the other. This helps ensure diversity among our applicants. We also strive for gender balance when recruiting graduates. In practice, this can be a challenge, as many of the programmes we recruit from (finance and IT programmes at universities) do not have equal representation of women and men.

Gender diversity is an important issue throughout the organisation and is integrated into appointments and career development, where we try to make sure that both genders are interested and grasp the career opportunities available to them.

Generally equal pay for equal work

The gender pay gap is a persistent challenge in Denmark – including in the financial sector where there are generally large differences in pay levels for similar job functions. As in previous years, Jyske Bank's gender pay statistics were discussed by a working group with representatives from the Danish Financial Services Union (Finansforbundet), Jyske Bank Kreds and the bank's HR department. The provisional conclusion is that there is generally equal pay for equal work in the Jyske Bank Group. The discussion of the statistics showed that they are an important tool for dialogue on equal pay, and so a number of functions have been selected for closer review by the working group.

Through our business activities, Jyske Bank contributes to financial security and a good life – for the whole life – for many people. This is also about well-being and social relations which is the focal point of our various social initiatives. We can make a difference with our resources and competencies, and we engage in national and local partnerships with other businesses, the public sector or players from the civil society concerning combating of loneliness.

Together we are stronger

By forming social partnerships in selected areas, Jyske Bank can help move the Danish society and its people in a more sustainable and socially balanced direction. Working alone, our impact is smaller. We therefore chose many years ago to partner with others, because together – we are stronger.

In these partnerships, each organisation makes a commitment to generate dialogue and joint solutions bringing together civil society and the private and public sectors. Skills, resources and knowledge are combined in a joint venture with a social purpose.

Social engagement

Christmas for everyone in Holstebro

For the third year in a row, Jyske Bank's branch in Holstebro asked employees, customers and locals to donate toys and other high-quality second-hand items that might bring joy to others at Christmas. Gifts were to be nicely wrapped, labelled with the target group, and dropped off at the branch. The partnership also involves local institutions, with some schools taking the opportunity to put sustainability on the agenda.

"The idea is that people can donate toys they have lying around at home. Many of our kids have so many toys that have nothing wrong with them but are simply not used. So why not let them bring pleasure to other children? These gifts are also sustainable, because the items are being reused," says Nicolai Bue, Market Director, Holstebro.

The scheme is being run by Jyske Bank together with the local chamber of commerce and charity Dan-ChurchSocial. Once the collection period is over, the charity selects recipients among the families who have asked for help at Christmas.

Kids Tour

Kids Tour is Denmark's largest and most fun bicycle race for children. The race is arranged by child safety charity Børneulykkefonden, and Jyske Bank is the main partner across the country. 12 cycling events were held from April to September with exciting activities all around the event arena.

The Kids Tour is aimed at young cyclists aged 3-10, and the events focus on road safety, exercise, healthy values – and promoting cycling. Jyske Bank is supporting the work of Børneulykkesfonden on reducing the number of children involved in road accidents.

"Many of our kids have so many toys that have nothing wrong with them but are simply not used. So why not let them bring pleasure to other children?"

Nicolai Bue, Market Director, Holstebro

Finance on the school timetable

Jyske Bank is keen to take its share of responsibility for teaching youngsters good money habits that may pave the way for lifelong financial health.

In September 2023, we participated alongside Finanssektorens Arbejdsgiverforening [Danish Employers´ Association for the Financial Sector] at a youth festival in Copenhagen. Our marquee hosted discussion and activities focusing on budgeting and on the financial sector as a potential workplace.

In 2023, we also took part in the annual Money Week event organised by Finance Denmark, where staff from the country's banks go back to school to increase pupils' financial literacy by teaching them about budgeting, loans and interest.

Digital consumption

Jyske Bank is the lead sponsor of the annual Gamebox Festival, a big gaming convention. As part of the 2023 event, we hosted a panel debate on "Money in gaming", looking at gaming vs gambling and the issues around children playing addictive games. The panel consisted of Anne Fiskaali, a psychologist and researcher into gaming, e-sports and digital games, William Karlberg from the Danish Police's online patrol unit, and Rico Corneliussen, director of Esport Denmark.

"We decided to go in as lead sponsor of Gamebox Festival for two reasons. On the one hand, we see gaming and e-sports as a positive environment where everyone can participate regardless of age, physical ability, ethnicity, gender and so on. On the other, there is the risk of addiction and bad financial habits. We're keen to help here by providing more

information for children and parents," says Jens Skov, Head of Events & Partnerships at Jyske Bank.

Combating loneliness

Jyske Bank continued to help tackle some of the problems and taboos associated with loneliness through a number of customer events as part of the Denmark Eats Together campaign by Folkebevægelsen mod Ensomhed (United against Loneliness). In connection with the campaign, we invited women to dinner in four towns during the year. Local branches created a pleasant setting for presenting the bank's social engagement and providing information on sustainable investment opportunities, all warmly welcomed by the guests.

We also shone a spotlight on our local partnership Flere i Fællesskaber (FiF) [More Together], which aims to reduce loneliness among young and old in Silkeborg Municipality. In 2023 FiF used our facilities for a network meeting with all of the partners, and FiF also borrowed our advertising pylon at our head office for its own messages during a campaign week.

"It raises awareness in the town and shows how broadly supported the initiative is when Jyske Bank makes its pylon available for a community campaign. It's a joint venture – across different sectors – which is making a real difference," says Ann-Britt Dalby from Silkeborg Municipality.

Old partnership – new name and format

Jyske Bank has been a member of Folkebevægelsen mod Ensomhed (FmE) [United against Loneliness] since 2015. Together with around 90 NGOs, municipalities etc., we aim to reduce the number of people in Denmark struggling with severe loneliness.

We previously participated in the Nationale Partnerskab mod Ensomhed (NPE) [National Partnership Against Loneliness] when it needed to gather knowledge and inspiration on how the private sector is working on inclusion and togetherness in the workplace.

The two organisations FmE and NPE will be merging in 2024 – and it is hoped that this will create synergies and a stronger image so that everyone in Denmark is aware of United against Loneliness. Jyske Bank is contributing with our competencies and resources. We are therefore arranging dinners events, producing short videos about loneliness and togetherness, and encourage to volunteering. In this way, we're helping draw attention to an issue that we believe to be important.

"... we see gaming and e-sports as a positive environment where everyone can participate regardless of age, physical ability, ethnicity, gender and so on"

Green Bazaar helps promote local sports

THEME:

Jyske Bank continued to work closely with local stakeholders on the Green Bazaar, a sports recycling scheme - for a third year in Viborg and for the first time in Aarhus and Holstebro. The concept is simple: Used sports clothing and equipment for indoor use is collected and sorted by volunteers from various clubs and Jyske Bank, and everybody can then drop by on the day of the bazaar to upgrade their wardrobe for free and give this used sportswear and equipment a new lease of life. For some young people, the bazaar is a real help because they might not have the money for new trainers for example. For others, a possibility of thinking in terms of reuse.

"We believe that it's no longer enough just to hand out kit sponsorships. Something more is needed, and we can see that we're making a noticeable difference with the Green Bazaar. We've had really strong support, and the scheme has taught us that when everyone contributes the resources at their disposal, we can achieve much more than our traditional sponsorships could," says Rikke Lyng Lauridsen, Manager at Jyske Bank.

In Aarhus, 600 kg of clothes were collected. The bazaar was well attended and around 1,000 children and adults dropped by the bazaar to see if they could find something useful, but unfortunately there was not enough sportswear and equipment to cover the demand. But the support for the event was top notch.

"I was completely blown away by the support we had in Aarhus. It was a great pleasure to be able to pass on so many clothes and shoes to young people who needed them. The Green Bazaar is a fantastic example of when we bring together people with different skills from clubs, the local authority and businesses, we can move to the next level and make a much bigger difference than we can on our own," says Ulla Vestergaard Madsen, Market Director at Jyske Bank.

The Green Bazaar concept has been developed in close collaboration between Jyske Bank's branches, sports clubs, local authorities, businesses and volunteers. It is a great way of showing support and engagement, helping local clubs and societies, making a difference for the climate – and getting even more children and young people to participate in sports.

As a large financial institution, Jyske Bank wants to support our customers with digital platforms and protect their personal and financial data. An increasingly digital world is asking more and more of our IT and data security, and we aim to maintain the highest standards to defend against cyber threats and ensure that the related risks are managed professionally.

Higher focus on privacy data

As part of the security of personal data, we have in 2023 increased focus on developing new and stronger methods and processes for handling privacy data. In addition, we have reassessed all important data handling processes to ensure continuous monitoring of risks in the privacy area. In addition, the bank's handling processes and method have been expanded to ensure that employees who are in contact with customer data in the best possible way handle customer data with a high degree of responsibility.

Attack averted

Creativity flourishes among cyber criminals. We saw this in early 2023 when the bank was hit by a DDoS attack, which is an overload attack as hackers attempt to paralyse our digital platforms to the detriment of customers and employees. We managed to fend off the attack, so customers only experienced minor inconvenience. The attacks were orchestrated in a more advanced way than we have previously experienced, and consequently we upgraded our defence. We have obtained an efficient defence which is able to absorb and combat major DDoS attacks.

Generative AI

Generative AI took the world by storm in 2023 and brings not only new business opportunities, but also greater risk of better-planned cyber attacks carried out with greater quality and precision. In 2024, we will therefore step up efforts to identify and support responsible use of AI for business purposes, for instance by offering e-learning modules about AI and to clarify the use of AI in a work context. Furthermore, we will analyse new lines of attack opened up by AI in order to further strengthen our cyber defence.

New and stricter demands in store

As from January 2025, the financial sector must observe new and considerably stricter demands for parts of the IT security area. New financial sector legislation is also expected on cyber and information security. Our current assessment is that Jyske Bank is already in a strong position in terms of compliance, but some of the new requirements will require major changes and increased levels of security both on the technology side and on the administration side.

IT and data security

Geek nights focusing on AI and ChatGPT

Artificial intelligence (AI) is about simulating human intelligence using machines that are programmed to think and learn in the same way as we do. AI has rapidly become part of everyday life – with many people benefiting from the opportunities it opens up, and it will affect large parts of our lives in the future. ChatGPT is the software that has grown fastest in terms of user numbers and is for many people synonymous with AI.

To learn more about AI, our Business Concepts and Quality Development departments invited all employees to "geek nights" during the autumn to gain new knowledge and insights in this area. One of Denmark's leading experts, Erik David Johnson, spoke about how AI works and why it will be transformative for the way we work in the future.

Two events were held in Kgs. Lyngby and Silkeborg, respectively – more than 200 employees participated.

AI

Thorough customer due diligence can prevent Jyske Bank from being misused for money laundering and terrorist financing. The bank's financial products and services enable personal and corporate customers to plan, finance and invest for both their current and future needs. However, there is also a significant risk of the bank being misused. Preventing financial crime is therefore a top priority for Jyske Bank, and we aim to prevent the misuse of the bank for unlawful purposes of any kind.

We strive continuously to improve our knowledge of our customers and their business activities. We have therefore initiated processes which ensure monitoring of their transactions and behaviour, and the bank's employees receive regular training in this area.

When it comes to prevention of financial crime the bank centralised and specialised tasks in 2023, corresponding to additionally 60 full-time employees. The primary focus has been to strengthen the bank's know-your-customer (KYC) procedures and monitoring transactions. We will continue the focus on development of these areas in 2024.

Centralisation of customer due diligence tasks

Recurring customer due diligence tasks were centralised during 2023.

Orders from the Inspections by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority

In June 2023, Jyske Bank received a report from the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority with four orders concerning the bank's cash management. The four orders concern the quality of KYC procedures, the effectiveness of the banks's internal controls in the KYC area, monitoring of cash in highrisk areas and monitoring of holders of powers of attorney and preventing employees from misusing their position.

Centralising these tasks creates great value for the individual customer adviser, freeing up more time for customer-oriented tasks, such as advisory services. The higher quality of the task solution thus benefits both the customers and the bank. Even so, it is still the individual adviser who is responsible for each customer's overall money-laundering risk, reflecting the adviser's knowledge of the customer from meetings and other contact. they must be extra alert. All of our efforts are relevant across customer segments, but there are some groups, such as the elderly, who are considered to be particularly at risk. Our many initiatives to raise awareness around fraud include: • New solution enable the customer to lower the

We have duly noted the orders, one of which was resolved in 2023. The other three orders are expected to be resolved by the end of first quarter of 2024.

Higher focus on governance and risk tolerance

In 2023, the money-laundering reporting officer has become part of Group Management to ensure that responsibility is increasingly anchored at Group level. In addition, business units are also involved in a new Forum for Customer Assessment designed to look at customers associated with a particularly high risk in terms of money laundering, terrorist financing or sanctions. We also created a new department for analysis and risk identification which will set the bank's risk tolerance level and create greater transparency.

Prevention of financial crime

DKK 1,000 note to be withdrawn

At the end of 2023, the Danish central bank decided that the DKK 1,000 banknote and older banknotes will be withdrawn in 2025. The decision was prompted by the declining use of cash in Denmark during the past many years – a trend that is expected to continue. Given people's willingness to use new digital payment solutions and the general trend for digitisation in Danish society, this is a natural development.

We welcome the decision, which we consider a positive step towards combating money-laundering. We stopped paying out DKK 1,000 notes from our cash machines back in 2018, simultaneously launching even more digital payment solutions for our clients.

The total value of notes and coins in circulation in Denmark is currently around DKK 69 billion, with DKK 1,000 notes making up no less than DKK 23 billion of this. Only one in ten transactions in stores are now paid for in cash, mainly by people aged 30-39 and 60-69.

Back in the 1990s, Jyske Bank was one of the first banks to work with values-based behaviour and leadership, as opposed to a leadership style based on rules and control. Our values are the DNA that binds us together and determines how we treat both one another and others. The values bring a common language and culture for our employees and mean that our customers can feel confident that they know Jyske Bank and what we stand for.

A fundamentally responsible bank

As a systemically important financial institution, the Jyske Bank Group strives to live up to the Group's social significance. That is why we endeavour to run a sustainable and responsible business in all respects. It is about complying with the legislation in force at any given time and meeting the expectations that our stakeholders rightly have of us.

High ethical and professional standards

To live up to the expectations of running a responsible business, it is vital that we have a healthy corporate culture building on the highest ethical and professional standards. These standards frame our employees' approach to the risk of the bank being exposed to financial crime on the part of customers or business partners.

We want to make sure that we continue to have a healthy corporate culture in the future, and our actions are guided by legislation and guidelines on responsible customer advice, tax, data ethics and remuneration. We want to be transparent and therefore publish policies and data – and we work with the authorities on supervision, procedures and any specific issues arising. We cannot rule out errors, but we are open about them and make sure we learn from them.

Principles before profits

As a significant financial institution in Denmark with different types of customers and financial transactions, we are conscious of the risk of being misused for purposes of corruption, bribery and other forms of financial crime by customers, business partners and others.

As a responsible and values-based business, Jyske Bank does not accept corruption and bribery. No customer or other business partner is good or important enough for Jyske Bank to compromise on these principles, which will always go before profit. We set high ethical and professional standards for our anti-corruption and anti-bribery efforts, and our employees are expected to act with honesty and integrity. Consequently, we pursue a zero-tolerance policy for deliberate breaches of our anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies.

Healthy corporate culture

The Policy Promoting a Healthy Corporate Culture covers
all activity and professional areas and requires that all pro
fessional conduct in the Group is governed by objective and
lawful motives. Should a situation arise where an employee
notices or suspects potential infringements of EU law,
financial regulation, serious breaches of the law or other
serious matters, the case will be submitted for further inves
tigation in the Group. Employees can use our whistleblower
programme anonymously, protecting them from reprisals.
The policy was updated in 2023 to reflect international
standards and was subsequently approved by the Super
visory Board.

"… the values are the bank's DNA that bring a common language and culture for our employees and mean that our customers can feel confident that they know Jyske Bank and what we stand for"

Open dialogue and a flat hierarchy

The bank's communication culture is one of openness, trust and respect between management and other employees. This contributes to a general sense of engagement and an understanding that people can contribute and create value whatever their role or seniority. This is underlined by the fact that multiple perspectives in e.g. decision processes is regarded as value-generating. Our leadership approach reflects the view that the individual employee is both able and willing to take responsibility for their own work. People's skills and judgement are trusted by management, and employees are given responsibilities and powers commensurate with their role and competence.

Data ethics policy

Data are a cornerstone of the Jyske Bank Group's business and form part of most solutions, both internal and external. Communication with customers and stakeholders is based on high-quality data. The Group's policy on data ethics sets out how data ethics are to be integrated into our business processes and the use of data by management and other employees.

Personal data are involved in a wide range of processes in the Jyske Bank Group. The use of data on customers and their interactions with the Group, together with data on our products and services, is essential for our business model and our ability to deliver the best solutions for our customers.

lected parts of the development organisation in 2023. As a Group, we also took a position on the use of generative AI such as ChatGPT, which was on everyone's lips during the year. This has resulted in internal guidelines to provide guidance on this work.

Those responsible for development initiatives involving IT will continue to be reminded methodically of our position on data ethics dilemmas as part of their development activities.

The use of solutions involving elements of artificial intelligence often requires a position to be taken on data ethics, and it is crucial for the Group that customers feel confident that their data will be treated with respect and care, and in accordance with the law and the Group's goals and values. New focus areas We conducted an information campaign in this area for se-Human rights are universal, meaning that all people should be treated with dignity. Some of the social challenges faced by the world, such as conflict, climate change and discrimination, are inspiring efforts to ensure a sustainable and successful future for all. This asks much of governments, but businesses too have a responsibility to respect human rights, as set out in the UN's Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Human rights

Human rights, as established in both the Danish labour market model and international conventions, norms and values, are a natural foundation for the Jyske Bank Group's activities. We see human rights as a basis for a safe, just and equal society.

On the one hand, businesses can hinder safe working environment, exploit migrant labour and harm done to the communities. On the other, they can promote human rights by providing decent work, raising living standards and ensuring a responsible and sustainable supply chain.

As a major financial institution, Jyske Bank distances itself from human rights violation as an employer, as a supplier of various financial services, and as a driving force for progress and prosperity. Our contribution takes place at multiple levels: in the workplace, in the way we do business and who we do business with, among the partners we work and share knowledge with, and finally in our value chain.

In the Jyske Bank Group, human rights are fundamental values, and we see a role as an active participant in work for equal rights as a natural consequence of our size and the composition of our workforce. Therefore, Jyske Bank makes continuous efforts to respect human rights and via an open culture, clear channels and procedures, we encourage employees to speak out against discrimination and violations. In 2024, our work on human rights in the context of the bank's operations, and our communication of this work, will be furthered through participation in the UN Global Compact's Business & Human Rights Accelerator programme. Hence, we will focus on integration of the UN Guiding Principles through a management system that ensures that human rights impacts are managed, minimised and prevented.

Result for the year

Earnings per share rose by 61% to DKK 89 against DKK 55 for the previous year, corresponding to a net profit of DKK 5,904m and DKK 3,752m, respectively. The increase was fuelled, in particular by the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark and the impact from the higher level of interest rates and favourable financial markets. The profit for 2023 is in line with the most recently announced expectations of earnings per share of approx. DKK 89 and a net profit of approx. DKK 5.9bn.

DKKm

Net profit

Net interest income rose by 66% to DKK 9,722m. This is the highest level so far and is due primarily to a significantly higher level of interest rates. Nationalbanken's rate of interest on certificates of deposit was lifted to 3.6% at the end of 2023 from -0.6% at mid-2022. The higher interest-rate level has improved the return on Jyske Bank's bond holdings and placings with central banks, etc. In addition, the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark also contributed considerably to the increase in net interest income.

Core income

Core income rose by 58% relative to 2022 boosted by net interest income.

Net fee and commission income was up 2% to DKK 2,579m. The increase is attributed to the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark and PFA Bank which more than offset the impact from lower refinancing and trading activity.

Value adjustments increased to DKK 1,539m from DKK 139m in the preceding year. The positive results can be attributed to a favourable development in the financial markets, including, in particular, the price development of Danish mortgage bonds.

Other income declined to DKK 227m from DKK 239m. The year before showed a high level of share dividends etc. as well as positive results on equity investments in associates.

Income from operating lease (net) fell to DKK 289m from DKK 343m. The sales conditions in the used car market remained favourable although used car prices declined from a high level.

Core expenses rose by 25% compared to 2022. The increase can primarily be attributed to the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark which contributed, among other things, to an increase in the number of full-time employees as well as higher expenses for data vendors and amortisation of acquired customer relations. The increase was also supported by a higher number of full-time employees relating to financial crime prevention as well as the acquisition of PFA Bank. In addition, the effect from wage adjustments relating to the collective agreement at 4.5%.

Core expenses Loan impairment charges Investment portfolio earnings

Loan impairment charges amounted to an expense of DKK 127m against an income of DKK 605m in 2022. The low expense corresponds to 0.02% of gross lending and guarantees and can primarily be attributed to rising interest rates and expectations of a slowdown in the economy. The post-model adjustments relating to loan impairment charges rose as a result of the macroeconomic uncertainty. The credit quality is still solid with a low level of non-performing loans and the lowest level of actual write-offs for more than a decade.

In 2023, investment portfolio earnings
amounted to DKK -3m against DKK
-131m in 2022. Positive return on
Danish mortgage bonds was more
than offset by rising internal funding
costs due to a higher interest-rate level.
The hedging of additional tier 1 capital
instruments in SEK had a positive
effect of DKK 14m in 2023 and was
offset by a negative adjustment of
shareholders' equity.

Core expenses

In addition to core expenses nonrecurring costs relating to the integration of Handelsbanken Denmark rose to DKK 235m from DKK 144m in the preceding year.

Earnings per share amounted to DKK 27 in the fourth quarter against DKK 25 in the third quarter, corresponding to a net profit of DKK 1,798m and DKK 1,618m, respectively.

Core income rose by 12% due to particularly high value adjustments and higher net fee and commission income.

Net interest income increased by 2%. The increase is due to both a continued rise in interest income relating to loans and higher income from excess liquidity due to the higher level of interest rates. These factors more than offset the effect from 0.25 percentage point higher deposit rates on transactions accounts as from 27 November 2023.

Net fee and commission income increased by 27% relative to the preceding quarter. The development can mainly be attributed to seasonally higher investment-related fee income and the acquisition of PFA Bank. The categorisation of some items of fee income was changed in connection with the migration of Handelsbanken Denmark from BEC to Bankdata.

Value adjustments amounted to DKK 661m against DKK 452m in the preceding quarter. The positive trend can primarily be attributed to higher prices of bonds due to falling interest rates.

Income from operating lease (net) fell to DKK 56m from DKK 66m. Sales conditions in the used car market were still favourable although realisation gains from the sale of used cars showed continued signs of normalisation.

Core expenses rose by 5% to DKK 1,605m. The develop
ment can primarily be attributed to the acquisition of PFA
Bank. Non-recurring costs relating to the acquisition of
Handelsbanken Denmark rose to DKK 79m from DKK 59m.
Loan impairment charges amounted to an expense of DKK
31m against an income of DKK 13m in the preceding quar
ter. Credit quality is still solid with a low level of non-perform
ing loans and the level of post-model adjustments relating
to loan impairment charges was up by DKK 519m.
Investment portfolio earnings amounted to DKK -10m
against DKK 65m in the preceding quarter. The develop
ment can be attributed both to lower net interest income
and lower value adjustments.

At the end of 2023, Jyske Bank's total loans (exclusive of repo loans) amounted to DKK 503.2bn and consisted of 70% mortgage loans at fair value and 30% bank loans, an increase of 3% compared with the end of 2022 due to higher mortgage lending.

Nominal mortgage loans rose to DKK 373.7bn from DKK 365.6bn. Higher loans to corporate customers and subsidised housing more than offset the effect from lower lending to private customers.

Bank loans amounted to DKK 150.5bn against DKK 155.5bn at the end of 2022. The change can be attributed to loans under bank activities as the majority of the decline coincided with the deferral of tax and VAT payments. Loans under leasing activities realised an increase of 3% driven by corporate customers.

Bank deposits amounted to DKK 199.8bn, corresponding to a 6% increase relative to the end of 2022. The development was fuelled by a higher amount of time deposits from corporate customers whereas private customers migrated to savings products with higher deposit rates. Bank deposits were DKK 49.3bn higher than bank loans at the end of 2023.

The business volume within asset management rose to DKK 248bn at the end of 2023 from DKK 218bn at the end of 2022. The business volume was over the period affected by the acquisition of PFA Bank, positive market returns, positive net sales of investment solutions to retail customers and negative net sales to institutional customers.

The fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2023

Jyske Bank's total loans (exclusive of repo loans) amounted to DKK 503.2bn at the end of the fourth quarter against DKK 489.4bn in the previous quarter. The development can be attributed to higher mortgage loans.

Nominal mortgage loans rose by 1% due to higher loans to corporate customers.

Bank loans driven by 1% underpinned by public authorities.

Bank deposits rose by 3% in the fourth quarter as private customers still transferred deposits to savings products. The business volume within asset management was up to DKK 248bn from DKK 225bn boosted by the acquisition of PFA Bank and rising prices of equities and bonds and positive net sales to both retail customers and institutional customers.

Jyske Bank's credit risks primarily relate to mortgage loans secured against real property as well as bank loans, advances and guarantees. Loans, advances and guarantees are distributed with 59% to corporate customers, 39% to private customers, and 2% to public authorities. At the end of 2023, the total exposure rose by 3% to DKK 567.0bn relative to the level at the end of 2022.

Loan impairment charges amounted to an expense of DKK 127m in 2023, corresponding to 2bp of gross loans, advances and guarantees. The effect on the income statement is distributed with an expense of DKK 90m relating to banking activities, an income of DKK 12m relating to mortgage activities, and an expense of DKK 49m relating to leasing activities. The expense in 2023 was generally caused by higher model-based loan impairment charges due to rising bankruptcy risks in the Danish economy. Moreover, post-model adjustments relating to impairment charges increased by DKK 509m. Recognised write-offs losses amounted to DKK 306m in 2023 or 5bp against DKK 438m and 8bp in the preceding year, respectively.

At the end of 2023, stage 3 loans amounted to 1.1% of loans, advances and guarantees against 1.2% at the end of 2022 and hence remained at a low level. The proportion of loans subject to forbearance measures fell to 1.3% of loans, advances and guarantees from 1.4%.

At the end of 2023, Jyske Bank's balance of loan impairment charges amounted to DKK 4.7bn, corresponding to 0.8% of loans, advances and guarantees against DKK 4.6bn and 0.8%, respectively, at the end of 2022. Inclusive of the balance of discounts for acquired assets at DKK 0.3bn, Jyske Bank's balance of impairment charges and discounts amounted to DKK 5.1bn, or 0.9% of loans, advances and guarantees at the end of 2023.

At the end of 2023, loan impairment charges based on post-model adjustments amounted to DKK 1,934m against DKK 1,425m at the end of 2022, or 37bp and 28bp, respectively of gross loans, advances and guarantees (exclusive of repo loans). The estimates remained at a high level and still by far reflect macroeconomic risks. The increase of DKK 509m in 2023 can primarily be attributed to a technicality due to Handelsbanken Denmark's migration of data processing centre in November from BEC to Bankdata whereby the proportion of post-mode adjustments at DKK 303m included in Handelsbanken Denmark's balance of loan impairment charges was specified. In addition, the increase in post-model adjustmetns was a result of the macroeconomic development and higher uncertainty of prices of especially investment and rental property due to the higher level of interest rates.

Recognition and measurement uncertainty

Measurement of certain assets and liabilities is based on accounting estimates made by the Group management. The areas that involve assumptions and estimates that are material for the financial statements include loan impairment charges, fair value of unlisted financial instruments, provisions and acquisitions and are described in detail under Accounting Policies (note 68), to which reference is made.

Loans, advances and guarantees – by sector (DKKbn/%)

Risk handling is an integrated part of Jyske Bank's business model. In this connection, the Group's risk management organisation's objective is to deliver decision-support management reporting, analyses and monitoring relative to primarily capital, liquidity and risk issues. This is in order to support the Group's strategic targets within the framework of a risk appetite determined by the Supervisory Board. The overall objective of risk management is to identify and assess risks to the effect that these can be handled and mitigated to a relevant degree and at an appropriate balance between risk and return.

It is crucial for Jyske Bank's profitability and capital structure that operations of the enterprise are characterised by healthy and sufficient risk management and risk culture. This comprises:

  • Systematic work with risk identification and risk statement
  • Implementation of the Group Supervisory Board's risk appetite and specification hereof in relevant risk targets and risk limits
  • Analysis and monitoring of internal and external issues which may affect and/or describe the Group's risk picture.

The work of the risk organisation is one of the basic elements of the management's basis for decision and the risk organisation's risk assessments are an integrated part of business decisions.

Due to the volatility of the Group's present risk environment a comprehensive and dynamic risk set-up is required which is on an ongoing basis delivering a holistic and true and fair risk picture with inclusion of all material risks.

Risk organisation

In cooperation with the Executive Board, the Group Supervisory Board is responsible for ensuring that the Group has an organisational structure that will secure an appropriate separation of functions between units assuming risks and units controlling risks.

The Jyske Bank Group's work with risks and risk management is generally organised according to the model with three lines of defence.

Jyske Bank's approach to risk management

Jyske Bank's work with risks derives from the Group's business model and is outlined by the risk appetite of the Group Supervisory Board. This has been formulated in risk policies and instructions in all material areas. The derived risk profile is driven by a number of financial and non-financial risks. Jyske Bank's efforts to run a responsible and sustainable bank are also reflected in the bank's non-financial risk management. Risks in relation to employee and employment relationships, appropriate marketing/distribution and sufficient safety in the workplace are part of the bank's risk taxonomy and form part of the ongoing management of non-financial risks in the bank. Risks are analysed, monitored and reported on an ongoing basis in a continuous process.

Integration of Handelsbanken Denmark

The takeover of Svenska Handelsbanken's Danish business affected the risk picture for the Jyske Bank Group in 2023. The financing of the takeover reduced the Group's capital base by the goodwill payment of DKK 3 billion, while the balance sheet taken over increased risk-weighted assets by DKK 25 billion. The focus in 2023 was therefore on the year's earnings being used primarily for consolidation. The Danish economy has slowed, which is being reflected in lending activity. Despite the slowdown, the Group's loan portfolio has proved resilient, with losses and impairment charges still at low levels. This has to be expected to change in 2024, when we expect an increase in loan impairment charges.

The integration process and the quality of the portfolio taken over have lived up to expectations in all material respects.

Work on IT risks strengthened

The Group has worked intensively on expanding its IT risk management set-up in recent years. This work will continue in 2024. Against this background, the Group made a major contribution to the Danish FSA's extensive cyber risk stress-testing exercise, which included Jyske Bank's preparedness.

There are inevitably significant operational risks when taking over such a large portfolio. Throughout the process, the Jyske Bank Group has concentrated on being able to identify and mitigate these risks. So far, the integration has proceeded according to plan. The integration of systems and IT was successfully completed in November 2023. Inflation and interest rates were a focus area in 2023. The spring brought financial turmoil with a number of large American banks going under. This led to much wider credit spreads and so higher funding costs.

Slowdown in the Danish economy

Focus on inflation and interest rates

Inflation and interest rates were also in focus when it came to Jyske Bank's lending activities, because a large share of the Group's lending is for housing and other property. There are not yet any signs of either the personal or corporate portfolios being noticeably weaker, although higher interest rates will naturally affect customers.

Geopolitical unrest continues

Russia's invasion of Ukraine continued in 2023. In addition, we saw an escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict, leading to unrest and attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. The consequences include longer delivery times and higher freight rates. Freight rates climbed by around 70% in the last two weeks of 2023. This could create a risk scenario with supply chain issues and so further price inflation, and this is an element in the Group's stress scenarios in 2024.

Risk Unit reassured

All in all, the Group is satisfied with its current risk profile. Given the current environment of high interest rates and low economic activity, however, there are areas to which risk management will pay particular attention in the coming period. These are discussed below under "Risk outlook for 2024".

Housing and property pricese

Housing and property prices are a key focus area in the Group's risk management given Jyske Bank's business model with a large mortgage portfolio. Movements in housing and property prices will therefore continue to be monitored closely in the coming year. Market conditions had changed significantly at the end of 2023, with lower economic activity and higher interest rates which may not yet have been fully incorporated into prices. A new property tax was also introduced at the beginning of 2024 which is expected to have a particularly negative impact on apartment prices in the cities.

Sector-specific systemic risk buffer

As a consequence of the stagnant commercial property market, banks in Denmark will be subject to a sector-specific buffer of 7% of risk-weighted lending to real estate companies with effect from 30 June 2024. This has already been incorporated into the Group's capital planning and stress testing, and into the pricing of relevant loans.

Low economic growth and higher household expenditure

that the rise in interest rates entails a number of opposing and delayed effects. These are being followed and analysed closely – partly through the Group's stress tests.

2024 will bring a special focus on the personal customer portfolio, as household finances are expected to be significantly affected by both higher interest rates and higher prices. The most cyclical business customers will also be monitored closely, including project financing and real estate companies. Prospect of falling interest ratesd Interest rates rose sharply in 2023, but the consequences for the Group's loan portfolio have been surprisingly limited so far. The composition of the bank's balance sheet means ESG risk management and climate stress testing are a relatively young discipline, and we are constantly increasing our understanding of what the sustainability agenda and climate change mean for the Group's risk profile. One priority in 2024 will be further developing analytical tools and models and strengthening our data. The Jyske Bank Group will also take part in the Danish FSA's climate stress test and the European Banking Authority's one-off analysis of banks' resilience to the "Fit for 55" legislative package. Finally, Jyske Bank has reported in line with the TCFD recommendations since 2021.

Climate stress testing

Last year before CRR III

2024 will also be the last year before all banks are required to comply with the updated Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR III). The new rules will significantly affect the calculation of risk-weighted exposures, and so Jyske Bank has spent some time analysing and integrating the implications into the Group's capital planning.

Jyske Bank's objective is to achieve a capital ratio of 20%-22% and a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 15%- 17%. At these levels, Jyske Bank can comfortably absorb the effects from future legislative changes while at the same time having the required strategic scope.

At the end of 2023, Jyske Bank had a capital ratio of 21.0% and a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 16.9% against 19.5% and 15.2%, respectively, at the end of 2022. In 2023, the capital ratios increased due to the recognition of the profit for the year, which more than compensated for the effect from a higher weighted risk exposure and total distribution of dividends worth up

to DKK 1bn, pending approval of DKK 500m dividend at the upcoming annual general meeting.

The total weighted risk exposure rose to DKK 225.5bn at the end of 2023 from DKK 220.9bn at the end of 2022. The increase was particularly caused by declining interest rates which triggered higher credit risk associated with mortgage loans stated at fair value. Moreover, market risk rose from a low level whereas operational risk rose as a result of a higher level of income.

In December 2023, Jyske Bank distributed an extraordinary dividend of DKK 500m or DKK 7.78 per share due to the solid earnings in 2023. For adoption

As of the financial year 2024, the Supervisory Board endeavours to distribute an annual dividend in the region of 30% of shareholders' result. The annual dividend is to be supplemented by ongoing share buy-backs contingent on Jyske Bank's capital situation.

at the annual general meeting on 21 March 2024, the Supervisory Board proposes distribution of a dividend at DKK 500m, or DKK 7.78 per share. The requirements of the total capital base consist of one Pillar I requirement of 8% of the weighted risk exposure with a capital addition for abovenormal risk under Pillar II and buffers.

At the end of 2023, Jyske Bank's individual solvency requirement was 11.2% of the weighted risk exposure against 10.8% at the end of 2022. To this must be added a SIFI requirement of 1.5% and a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% as well as the countercyclical buffer of 2.4%. Hence, the total capital requirement is 17.7%, which is an increase compared with the end of 2022 when the capital requirement was 16.7%.

Capital management

Both the SIFI requirement, the capital conservation buffer and the contra-cyclical buffer have been fully phased in. Moreover, we anticipate a sector-specific systemic buffer for corporate exposures against property companies to be implemented at mid-2024.

Compared with the common equity tier 1 capital ratio, the excess capital adequacy came to 4.1% of the weighted risk exposure, corresponding to DKK 9.3bn against 3.2% and DKK 7.0bn, respectively, at the end of 2022.

Future legislation

In line with previous years, Jyske Bank is well prepared to comply with all known future statutory requirements. Below is a brief description of the most important legislative changes that are expected to impact Jyske Bank the most in the years to come.

New legislation will most likely result in increasing capital requirements, where the strongest effects are expected in connection with credit risk due to a coming output floor. Jyske Bank is still endeavouring to obtain compliance with the EBA's guidelines which were published as part of the EBA's so-called IRB repair programme which came into force on 1 January 2022. Jyske Bank has already recognised significant add-ons to the Group's risk-weighted exposure which should offset the expected increases as a result of the higher requirements of the IRB repair programme.

In the autumn of 2023, the EU Commission finished its work on implementing the recent recommendations from the Basel Committee in the so-called CRR3/CRD6 regulations. Although the text is now final, it has not yet come into force since a final approval in the European Parliament has not yet taken place, which is, however, considered a formality. The final CRR3 text did not give rise to change Jyske Bank's expectations of the effect from new legislation. However, because of the temporary easing in relation to Basel III

regarding calculation of the output floor, this is not expect
ed to result in additional capital requirements before the
expiry of temporary easing in 2032. CRR3 includes many
limitations with respect to which models and methods
advanced banks may use going forward in connection with
the determination of their risk-weighted assets and hence
their capital requirement. In the course of 2024, Jyske Bank
anticipates to make an early application of several of the
new limitations and due to these new limitations the Group's
total model landscape will be reviewed again.
After the implementation of the EBA guidelines relating
to the IRB repair programme, which after the first quarter
of 2022 have been fully recognised, future regulation is
expected to reduce the common equity tier 1 capital ratio
by up to 1.5 percentage points. Uncertainty surrounding
the final effect is due partly to the very long time horizon
and partly to the fact that the new CRR3 text still includes
certain elements which are not fully transparent. It is ex
pected that the EBA through for instance its Q&A process
will remove the present uncertainty. Jyske Bank's capital
levels are still assessed to be at a comfortable distance
to the capital requirements, inclusive of regulatory capital
buffers, etc. for both expected and stressed scenarios for
capital adequacy assessment.

European stress test exercise

The European Banking Authority has carried out a stress test of the 70 largest European banks, including Jyske Bank. The participating institutions were subject to a base line scenario and a stress scenario which were considerably tougher than during previous crises.

In the stress test, the earnings contribution from the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark was limited considerably, and at the same time, it imposes a full capital charge on the acquired loan portfolio.

On this basis, the capital structure is challenged in the very tough stress test as the combined capital buffer requirements are breached. Despite the asymmetric inclusion of Handelsbanken Denmark the indispensable capital requirements are not breached.

Based on the present capital position and in case of full recognition of earnings from Handelsbanken Denmark, Jyske Bank would not breach the combined capital buffer requirements.

Jyske Bank's biggest source of funding is covered bonds and mortgage bonds, which amounted to DKK 346bn, corresponding to 44% of the balance sheet at the end of 2023. The second-largest funding source is customer deposits, which amounted to DKK 200bn, of which a high proportion consists of deposits from small and medium-sized enterprises as well as private customers.

At the end of 2023, the Jyske Bank Group's liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 211%. The Group's internal exposure limit is a LCR of at least 120%. Nevertheless, the aim is that LCR is, under normal market conditions, above 150%.

The LCR buffer after haircuts at the end of 2023 is shown above.

At the end of 2023, the Jyske Bank Group's Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 136%, against 126% at the end of 2022. Jyske Bank is on an ongoing basis active in the French commercial paper (CP) market. At the end of 2023, the outstanding volume under the CP programme amounted to DKK 64bn against DKK 71bn at the end of 2022.

At the of 2023, outstanding unsecured senior debt amounted to DKK 33.5bn against DKK 27.8bn at the end of 2022. At the end of 2023, outstanding CRD-IV compliant tier 2 and AT1 capital instruments amounted to DKK 6.1bn and DKK 3.3bn, respectively, which is unchanged relative to the end of 2022.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)

At the release of its Annual Report for 2023, the Jyske Bank Group had issued the above bonds on the international capital markets since early 2023.

Based on the expected trend in the weighted risk exposure and expectations of changed regulation relating to exposure against commercial property, Jyske Bank in 2024 anticipates a requirement of an outstanding volume of MREL-eligible debt instruments (inclusive of an internal buffer for statutory requirements) in an amount of DKK 29bn – 31bn, of which about DKK 6bn in the form of preferred senior debt and DKK 23bn – 25bn in the form of non-preferred senior debt.

At the end of 2023, the outstanding volume of MRELeligible debt instruments totalled DKK 29.7bn, distributed by DKK 5.7bn and DKK 24.0bn on preferred senior debt and non-preferred senior debt, respectively, with a time to maturity of more than 12 months.

Jyske Bank anticipates that it will issue non-preferred senior debt in the second half of 2024, supplemented by a minor volume in senior debt.

2022 boosted by net interest income. Net Interest income increased by 106% relative to 2022. The increase is due in particular to significant interest-rate increases. Nationalbanken's rate of interest on certificates of deposit was lifted to 3.6% at the end of 2023 from -0.6% at mid-2022. In addition, the higher interest-rate level has improved the return on Jyske Bank's bond holdings and placings with central banks, etc. In addition, the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark also contributed considerably to the increase in net interest income.

Net fee and commission income fell by 2% to DKK 3,122m. Exclusive of internal distribution fees received from Jyske Realkredit, net fee and commission income under banking activities rose by 2% relative to 2022. The increase is attributed to the impact from the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark which more than offset the impact from lower lending and trading activities.

Value adjustments increased to DKK 1,156m from DKK 111m in the preceding year. The positive result can be attributed to a favourable development in the financial markets, including in particular the price development of Danish mortgage bonds.

Other income declined to DKK 198m from DKK 211m. 2022 showed a higher level of share dividends etc. as well as higher results on equity investments in associates.

Core expenses

Core expenses rose by 27% compared to 2022. The increase can primarily be attributed to the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark which contributed, among other things, to an increase in the number of full-time employees as well as higher expenses for data vendors and amortisation of acquired customers relations. The increase was also supported by a higher number of full-time employees relating to financial crime prevention as well as the acquisition of PFA Bank. In addition,

the effect from wage adjustments relating to the collective agreement at 4.5%.

Non-recurring costs relating to the integration of Handelsbanken Denmark and PFA Bank rose to DKK 235m from DKK 144m in the preceding year.

Loan impairment charges

Loan impairment charges amounted to an expense of DKK 90m against an income of DKK 391m in 2022. The low expense can primarily be attributed to rising interest rates and expectations of a slowdown in the economy. The management's estimates relating to loan impairment charges rose as a result of the macroeconomic uncertainty. The credit quality is still solid with a low level of non-performing loans and the lowest level of write-offs for more than a decade.

Investment portfolio earnings

In 2023, investment portfolio earnings amounted to DKK -3m against DKK

-131m in 2022. Positive return on Danish mortgage bonds was more than offset by rising internal funding costs due to a higher interest-rate level. The hedging of additional tier 1 capital instruments in SEK had a positive effect of DKK 14m in 2023 and was offset by a negative adjustment of shareholders' equity.

Business volume

Bank loans amounted to DKK 126.4bn against DKK 132.1bn at the end of 2022. The majority of the decline coincided with the deferral of tax and VAT payments.

Bank deposits amounted to DKK 199.6bn, corresponding to a 6% increase relative to the end of 2022. The development was fuelled by a higher amount of time deposits from corporate customers whereas private customers selected savings products with higher interest rates.

In the fourth quarter, pre-tax profit amounted to DKK 1,499m against DKK 1,371m in the third quarter.

Core income was up by 12%, primarily caused by higher value adjustments.

Net interest income rose by 2% to DKK 1,570m. The increase is due to both continuously rising interest income relating to loans and higher income from excess liquidity due to the higher interest-rate level. These factors more than offset the effect from 0.25 percentage point higher deposit rates on transaction accounts as from 27 November 2023.

Net fee and commission income rose to DKK 892m from DKK 756m. Exclusive of distribution fees from Jyske Realkredit, net fee and commission income rose 34% over the quarter due to seasonally higher investment-related fee income and the acquisition of PFA Bank.

The fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2023

Value adjustments amounted to DKK 520m against DKK 380m in the preceding quarter. The increase can for instance be attributed to the price development of Danish mortgage bonds.

Core expenses rose to DKK 1,440m from DKK 1,366m. The development can primarily be attributed to the acquisition of PFA Bank. Non-recurring costs relating to the acquisition of Handelsbanken Denmark rose to DKK 79m from DKK 59m.

Loan impairment charges amounted to an income of DKK 5m against an income of DKK 22m in the preceding quarter. The credit quality is still solid with a low level of non-performing loans.

Investment portfolio earnings amounted to DKK -10m against DKK 65m in the preceding quarter. The development can be attributed both to lower net interest income and lower value adjustments.

Mortgage activities

Mortgage activities comprise financial solutions for the financing of real property carried out by Jyske Realkredit. Mortgage activities are aimed mainly at Danish private customers, corporate customers and subsidised rental housing.

Profit

In 2023, pre-tax profit amounted to DKK 2,672m against DKK 1,742m in 2022. The improved results can primarily be attributed to a higher return on Jyske Realkredit's bond portfolio due to the higher yield level.

Core income

Core income surged by 67% to DKK 3,105m in 2023. The increase was due in particular to higher net interest income relating to bonds and higher value adjustments.

Administration margin income, etc. increased by 6% to DKK 2,496m. The development was attributed to loans acquired from Handelsbanken Denmark in December 2022.

Mortgage loans, nominal value Mortgage loans, fair value Total assets

Issued bonds

* Administration margin income, etc. covers administration margin income as well as interest rate margin on jointly funded loans.

Other net interest income rose to DKK 795m from DKK 160m in 2022. The increase is due to higher interest income associated with Jyske Realkredit's bond portfolio as a result of the higher level of interest rates.

Net fee and commission income amounted to DKK -556m against DKK -653m in 2022. Exclusive of internal distribution fee paid, net fee and commission income fell by 23% due in particular to lower refinancing and lending activity.

Value adjustments increased to DKK 370m from DKK 2m in 2022. Shortterm bonds acquired below par as well as bond issuances contributed to the positive value adjustments in 2023.

Core expenses

Core expenses amounted to DKK 445m against DKK 394m in 2022. The increase was due to higher employee costs acquired from Handelsbanken Denmark and higher contribution to the Danish Resolution Fund.

Loan impairment charges

Loan impairment charges amounted to an income of DKK 12m against an income of DKK 272m in 2022. The income in 2023 related primarily to a reversal of impairment charges on individual corporate commitments. At the end of 2023, post-model adjustments relating to primarily macroeconomic risks amounted to DKK 677m compared with DKK 585m at the end of 2022.

Business volume

Mortgage loans stated at nominal value rose by DKK 2% to DKK 373.7bn compared to the level at the end of 2022. The increase related to loans to corporate customers. Mortgage loans at fair value rose by 6% to DKK 352.7bn in the same period supported by lower interest rates.

For further details about Jyske Realkredit, please see Jyske Realkredit's Annual Report for 2023.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, pre-tax profit amounted to DKK 762m against DKK 651m in the third quarter of 2023. Core income increased by 14% to DKK 886m. The progress can be attributed to value adjustments.

Administration margin income, etc., rose to DKK 627m from DKK 617m due to increased lending.

Other net interest income rose to DKK 249m from DKK 240m in the previous quarter. The increase was due, among other things, to higher net interest income from bonds.

Net fee and commission income amounted to DKK -133m against DKK -158m. Exclusive of internal distribution fee paid, net fee and commission income rose to DKK 127m from DKK 124m, due to slightly higher refinancing activity.

The fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2023

Value adjustments amounted to DKK 143m against DKK 76m in the preceding quarter. The increase can be attributed to higher value adjustments of bonds as well as value adjustments in connection with bond issues.

Core expenses amounted to DKK 113m against DKK 110m in the preceding quarter. The increase was due to settlement of the intra-group service agreement.

Loan impairment charges amounted to an expense of DKK 11m against an expense of DKK 14m in the preceding quarter. Lower model-based loan impairment charges were offset by higher post-model adjustments relating to loan impairment charges.

Leasing activities

Leasing activities cover financial solutions in the form of leasing and financing within car financing as well as leasing and financing of operating equipment for the corporate sector. The activities primarily target Danish private and corporate customers as well as dealer cooperation schemes and partnerships. Secondarily, the activities target car financing in Sweden.

Profit

In 2023, pre-tax profit amounted to DKK 573m against DKK 599m in 2022. The decline can primarily be attributed to lower income from operating lease (net) and higher core expenses. Net interest income was up by 6% to DKK 477m in 2023 fuelled by a higher business volume and rising lending rates due to the higher interest-rate level.

Net fee and commission income amounted to an income of DKK 13m against an expense of DKK 11m in the preceding year due to lower fees paid. In 2023, value adjustments amounted to DKK 13m against DKK 26m in 2022. The change related to value adjustments associated with hedging of currency risk.

Income from operating lease (net) fell to DKK 289m in 2023 from DKK 343m in 2022. Sales conditions in the used car market were still favourable although used car prices were on the decrease in the second half of 2023. Value adjustments increased to DKK 199m from DKK 181m in 2022. The increase was, among other things, attributed to higher employee costs and higher IT expenses.

Loan impairment charges amounted to an expense of DKK 49m against an expense of DKK 58m in 2022.

Business volume

Loans rose by 3% to DKK 24.2bn at the end of 2023. The advance was primarily fuelled by partnerships and loans to corporate customers.

Deposits

In the fourth quarter of 2023, pre-tax profit amounted to DKK 126m against DKK 144m in the preceding quarter.

Net interest income rose in the fourth quarter to DKK 121m from DKK 118m in the third quarter since higher lending rates were only partly offset by rising funding costs due to the higher interest-rate level.

Net fee and commission income rose to DKK 7m from DKK 4m, due, among other things, to higher administrative fees. Value adjustments showed a minor increase from DKK -4m to DKK -2m relating to hedging of currency risk.

Income from operating lease (net) fell to DKK 56m from DKK 66m. The development was due to lower income from the sale of cars returned after a terminated lease agreement.

Core expenses increased to DKK 52m from DKK 48m due, among other things, to higher payroll costs.

Loan impairment charges amounted to an expense of DKK 25m against an income of DKK 5m in the preceding quarter. The higher expense was due, among other things, to a higher post-model adjustments relating to impairment charges.

Events after the end of the accounting period

No events have taken place during the period prior to the publication of the Annual Report 2023 that have any material effect on the Group's financial position.

Negative interest rates

From 1 December 2019 to 1 October 2022, Jyske Bank charged negative interest rates on certain deposit accounts for private customers. Jyske Bank and most other banks did this for business reasons and based on a market situation where the central banks had charged negative interest rates for a number of years.

Jyske Bank disagrees with the Consumer Ombudsman. Jyske Bank's general terms and conditions for private customers clearly stated that the interest rate was floating and could be changed under certain circumstances.

Other information

Jyske Bank anticipates releasing financial statements

on the following dates in 2024.

Further information

The Consumer Ombudsman has summoned Jyske Bank claiming that the bank was not entitled to introduce and charge negative interest rates on a number of specific savings accounts and certain specially regulated accounts. The Annual General Meeting of Jyske Bank will be held in Silkeborg on Thursday 21 March 2024.

For further information, please see jyskebank.dk. Here you will find an interview with Lars Mørch, Managing Director and CEO, detailed financial information as well as Jyske Bank's Annual Report 2023 and Risk and Capital Management 2023, which gives further information about Jyske Bank's internal risk and capital management as well as regulatory issues, including a description of the most important risks and elements of uncertainty that may affect Jyske Bank.

Organisation and management

The organisation and management of Jyske Bank reflect the general requirements under the Danish legislation governing financial markets and companies as well as the special requirements ensuing from financial legislation and Jyske Bank's Articles of Association.

Management is undertaken by:

  • General Meetings
  • Shareholders' Representatives
  • Supervisory Board and Executive Board

The Supervisory Board and the Executive Board are independent of each other and no person is a member of both the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board. The Supervisory Board and the Executive Board are accountable to the shareholders of Jyske Bank, but they seek also to consider the interests of customers and employees as well.

General meeting

Shareholders' right to pass resolutions shall be exercised at the Annual General Meeting. Jyske Bank's Articles of Association contain information about notice of the general meeting, the right to propose resolutions to the general meeting and right to participate and vote. The Articles of Association are available at jyskebank.dk/ir/ generalforsamlinger.

Shareholders' Representatives

The Shareholders' Representatives consist of 135 members distributed on three geographical areas. The Shareholders' Representatives elect from its number six members of the Group Supervisory Board.

The purpose and tasks of the Shareholders' Representatives and the individual Representative are, among other things:

  • To be informed about the bank's operations and development plans
  • To contribute knowledge and viewpoints to the positive development of the bank
  • To act as ambassadors based on the bank's set of values.
  • To generate added value and cohesion between customers, employees and shareholders
  • To support the bank's role and importance in society

Shareholders' representatives shall be elected at the bank's Annual General Meeting. Shareholders' Representatives shall be elected for terms of three years. Members can be re-elected.

Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board shall be in charge of the overall
management of the bank and supervise the decisions and
arrangements made by the Executive Board.
The Supervisory Board shall on behalf of the shareholders
determine the overall strategy and contribute actively to
maintaining and developing Jyske Bank's position in the fi
nancial sector.
The Supervisory Board shall in written business procedures
lay down provisions on the execution of its office and guide
lines concerning Jyske Bank's essential activities as well as
the distribution of work between the Supervisory Board and
the Executive Board.
The Supervisory Board shall consist of:

six members elected by and among the members of the
Shareholders' Representatives,

up to two members elected by members in General
Meeting and who meet the requirements of the Danish
FSA in respect of relevant knowledge and experience of
supervisory board members of banks, and

elected by employees).

Each one of the six members who are elected by and among the Shareholders' Representatives is elected for a threeyear period. Additional members elected by members in general meeting to meet the requirements of the FSA in respect of relevant knowledge and experience of supervisory board members are elected for a one-year period. Re-elections shall be allowed. Employee-elected members of the Supervisory Board are elected for a term of four years.

The Supervisory Board shall elect its Chairman and Deputy Chairman.

The members of the Supervisory Board elected by the employees shall have the same rights, duties and responsibilities as the members elected by the shareholders.

Organisation and management

Gender composition of management

At the end of the year, the Group Supervisory Board consisted of a total of nine members, hereof six members elected by the shareholders and three members elected by the employees.

There is special focus on achievement of equal gender distribution among the members of the Supervisory Board. At the end of 2023, the underrepresented gender (female) accounted for 33.33% of members elected by the shareholders. According to the guidelines of the Danish Business Authority this equates to an equal gender distribution.

Jyske Bank A/S' other management levels6 consist of 28 members; hereof the underrepresented gender accounted for 10.7% at the end of 2023 (2022: 8%).

Over the year, efforts were made to increase the proportion through stronger focus on:

  • The work with strategic potential and structural succession planning
  • The underrepresented gender in recruitment efforts
  • Inclusion and awareness of bias for instance through the work in the Jyske Bank Group's diversity committee.

The specific results of the efforts have, in addition to an increase in the proportion of the underrepresented gender at other management levels, also resulted in a rise in the proportion among both new employees and across all management levels of the Group.

In the course of the year, there have been few replacements among the members of the bank's other management levels, and despite the initiated efforts, there have been few applications and suitable candidates from the underrepresented gender for the vacant management positions. This means that we currently have a more equal gender distribution at the other management levels, but we have not yet achieved our target of 15%.

The Jyske Bank Group endeavours to attain the target of
15% before the end of 2025. This is done through a prioriti
zation of the following activities:

Focus on the issue on the part of Jyske Bank's senior
management. This is created through a demand for for
malised reporting and follow-up on gender diversity and
prioritization of the work in the Jyske Bank Group's diver
sity committee whose objective is to remove barriers to
diversity in the organisation.

Retention of initiated activities to promote an equal gen
der distribution in the recruitment and selection process.

The work with structural succession planning and de
velopment of strategic potential to Jyske Bank's senior
management levels.

Awareness of gender in connection with appointments

Work with attitudes, knowledge and communication
about diversity and inclusion.
At the end of 2023, the proportion of the underrepresented
gender across all management levels in the Group was 28%.
Jyske Bank's target is that in 2025, 30%-33% of the manag
ers must be female.

The above accounts for Jyske Bank's reporting in accordance with §.135a of the Executive Order on Financial Reports for Credit Institutions and Investment Companies,

etc. and §.79a of the Danish Financial Business Act. 6) Defined as the Executive Board and persons with managerial responsibility, with reference to the Executive Board and the Head of the Internal Audit Division

Diversity in management

Jyske Bank wants to build a diversified culture, using targeted initiatives to be considered a representative of the society we are a part of. The goal is to include more perspectives and aspects in our decision-making basis based on a diverse management team at all levels.

The members of Jyske Bank's Supervisory Board are generally recruited from among the bank's Shareholders' Representatives, with due consideration to the qualifications and skills required. Consequently, emphasis is placed on ensuring sufficient diversity in relation to geography, professional background and age – both among the Shareholders' Representatives and the Supervisory Board members. Likewise, the gender composition is taken into account.

Recruitment for the senior management level usually takes place from among the underlying management levels. In addition to the reported initiatives aimed at increasing the share of the under-represented gender, the bank is pursuing various measures to ensure greater diversity among other things with respect to age, ethnic background, education and background in general. These factors are considered by the Group's diversity committee, which works to ensure focus on diversity at the bank's senior management level. In 2023, we also started to develop management training in diversity and inclusion, with bias awareness being one of the focus areas. The training activities will kick off during 2024.

Work of the Supervisory Board in 2023

The Supervisory Board will hold at least ten physical meetings a year. In addition, the Supervisory Board generally holds teleconferences every second week. In 2023, the Supervisory Board held a total of 44 board meetings.

In addition, meetings of the five committees established by the Supervisory Board. All in all, the attendance rate was 94% in 2023. Attendance in 2023 appears from the table below.

Committees under the Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board has established five committees to supervise certain areas or prepare cases to be decided on subsequently by the entire Supervisory Board.

The Nomination Committee shall support the Supervisory Board in solving tasks ensuing from statutory requirements relating to the Supervisory Board's knowledge and experience, including the composition of the Supervisory Board, and the committee shall support the Supervisory Board in connection with nominations of candidates for the Supervisory Board and the Shareholders' Representatives, and the committee shall be responsible for overseeing that the Supervisory Board is evaluated. The Nomination Committee shall be responsible for ensuring that the composition of the Supervisory Board entails sufficient diversity as to qualifications and competences, which also entails that the Supervisory Board holds the relevant competences pursuant to the bank's business model and risk profile.

The Remuneration Committee is in charge of the preparatory work behind the decisions by the Supervisory Board regarding remuneration, including remuneration policy and other decisions in this respect which may affect the risk management of the enterprise.

Evaluation of the Supervisory Board

The composition of the Supervisory Board aims to ensure the stable and satisfactory development of Jyske Bank for the benefit of its employees, customers and shareholders.

The composition of the Supervisory Board and further details about the individual board members are described at Jyske Bank's website under "Group Supervisory Board".

The results of the evaluation were satisfactory and showed a well-functioning Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board will in 2024 work on identified improvement initiatives.

In 2023, the Supervisory Board for the first time carried out an evaluation of the Supervisory Board facilitated by an external consulting team. The focus of attention was on the three levels: the Supervisory Board, the committees and individual board members, and the key points of the evaluation were objective, structure, culture, members and composition and leadership. Strategic Customer Committee is an ad-hoc committee under the Supervisory Board that shall contribute with the strategic picture of what Jyske Bank's cooperation with its customers may look like in five years. The focus of the committee is on the cooperation with the customer and not on the contents of products. Remuneration of the Supervisory Board

The Audit Committee established under current legislation shall supervise the financial reporting and internal control and risk-management systems; it shall also check the independence of the auditors as well as their qualifications. The Supervisory Board considers Per Schnack the independent member of the committee as he possesses qualifications within accounting.

All members of the Supervisory Board answered comprehensive questionnaires. The findings and conclusions as well as the identified improvement initiatives were subsequently presented to and discussed by the Supervisory Board. The aim of the evaluation was to ensure, among other things, that the composition of the Supervisory Board and the special competencies of each board member enable the Supervisory Board – to perform its tasks as a collegial body. The Supervisory Board receives a regular cash payment, which is fixed by the Shareholders' Representatives of Jyske Bank. No member of the Supervisory Board is entitled to any kind of remuneration when he or she resigns from the Supervisory Board. The remuneration of the Supervisory Board is determined at the General Meeting. The remuneration report is available at jyskebank.com/investorrelations/ governance.

The Risk Committee shall carry out the preliminary consideration of risk-related issues before the final consideration by the Supervisory Board. The committee discusses, among other things, issues relating to regulatory requirements of the capital adequacy statement, the Group's capital base, solvency requirement, as well as capital and liquidity buffers, material changes of the model set-up for risk management, and the annual re-estimate and validation of models.

Executive Board

The Executive Board has four members. According to the Articles of Association the Executive Board shall consist of 2-6 members. The number shall be determined by the Supervisory Board.

The Executive Board undertakes the day-to-day management of the Group. The Executive Board strives continuously to ensure that the Group has efficient procedures and a clear organisational structure with a well-defined, transparent and consistent distribution of responsibilities.

Without having the right to vote, the Executive Board attends the meetings of the Shareholders' Representatives and the Supervisory Board. To ensure independence and objectivity, members of the Executive Board shall not participate in the discussions of questions concerning any of the members personally.

Corporate governance

The Supervisory Board has reviewed and monitors the development in the Recommendations issued by the Committee on Corporate Governance.

By and large, the Group's Supervisory Board adheres to the Recommendations for good corporate governance. In the event of deviations, these will often be based on the wish to uphold the balance between shareholders, customers and employees. It is assessed that this wish supports a long-term, balanced development of the Jyske Bank Group.

According to "Nordic Main Market Rulebook for Issuers of Shares" paragraph 2.15, Jyske Bank is under the obligation to give an account of how Jyske Bank addresses the Recommendations on Corporate Governance issued by the Committee on Corporate Governance. Further information about the Group's work on corporate governance is available at jyskebank.com/investorrelations/governance

Internal control and risk-management systems

The overall responsibility for the Group's internal control and risk-management systems in connection with the financial reporting rests with the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board. The process has been planned with a view to preparing and presenting an annual report in agreement with the regulatory requirements as well as preparing and presenting an annual report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Recognition and measurement

Recognition and measurement of certain assets and liabilities require an estimate of the influence of future events on the value of such assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Estimates of material importance to the presentation of the accounts are, among other things, based on the impairment of loans and advances, the fair value of unlisted financial instruments and provisions already made.

The estimates are based on assumptions which management finds reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain. It is the assessment of management that assets and liabilities offer a true and fair view of the financial position and that the control environment relating to the assessments made is satisfactory.

Control environment

isation involved in the presentation of the accounts have been organised in such a way that relevant competencies in respect of risk management and assessment of internal controls in relation to the presentation of the accounts have been established and work independently of each other.

The most important elements in the control environment are an expedient organisation, including separation of functions, as well as internal policies and business procedures. The Supervisory Board, the Executive Board and the organ-The details given in the annual report are continuously assessed with respect to risk and with a view to identifying elements associated with heightened risk because they are based on estimates and/or generated through complex or manual processes.

The Supervisory Board has set up an Audit Committee which continuously monitors that the Group's internal controls are sufficient and assesses material risks in connection with the process relating to the presentation of the accounts, including the risk that fraud or error may result in material misstatement in the annual report.

Risk assessment

The Audit Committee is continuously informed about the assessment of the Group risks, including risks affecting the process relating to the presentation of the accounts. The Audit Committee and the Executive Board decide at least once a year whether new internal controls are to be initiated to counter identified risks. The Audit Committee examines, also at least once a year, particularly risky fields, including recognition and measurement of material assets and liabilities as well as any changes to accounting policies.

Control activities

Control activities have been set up with the purpose of preventing, detecting and correcting any errors and omissions in the data that form the basis of the accounts preparation. The activities include, among other things, certification, authorisation, approval, reconciliation, analyses of results, control of separation of functions, general IT controls and controls regarding IT applications.

Monitoring and reporting

The Group employs systems and manual resources for the monitoring of the data that form the basis of the accounts preparation. Any weaknesses and errors are corrected and reported on a continuous basis.

Reporting from subsidiaries is controlled continuously, and procedures have been established to ensure that any errors and omissions in data reported are communicated to and are rectified by the subsidiaries.

In connection with the accounts preparation further analyses and control activities are carried out to ensure that the presentation of the accounts takes place in compliance with legislation. The Audit Committee will follow up to ensure that established and reported weaknesses in the internal controls as well as material errors and omissions in the Parent's financial statements are rectified.

The Jyske Bank share

At the end of 2023, the share capital amounted unchanged to the nominal amount of DKK 643m. It consisted of 64.3 million shares at a nominal value of DKK 10 in one class of shares. All shares are listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S (DK0010307958) and included in the OMX C25 index. The shares are freely transferable, always provided that the transfer of shares to an acquirer who holds or by the acquisition obtains 10% or more of the Group's share capital shall require the consent of the Group, cf. Art. 3 of Jyske Bank's Articles of Association. Each share represents one vote. No shareholder can cast more than 4,000 votes on his own behalf. Jyske Bank's Supervisory Board is authorised to acquire Jyske Bank shares for a sum not exceeding 1/10 of the share capital. According to Arts. 4(2) and (3) and Arts. 5(1) and (2), the Supervisory Board may increase the Group's share capital by no more than nominally DKK 200m (20 million shares of a face value of DKK 10).

Employee share scheme for 2024

In connection with the employees' choice of salary packages for 2024 the employees are expected to buy Jyske Bank shares worth approx. DKK 150m in 2024, distributed equally between monthly purchases implemented on randomly selected trading days. Employee-elected members of Jyske Bank's Supervisory Board and members of the Group Executive Board, who are part of the employee share scheme, participate on the same terms and principles as other employees.

Alternative performance targets

The alternative performance targets applied in the management's review constitute valuable information for readers of financial statements as they provide a more uniform basis for comparison of accounting periods. No adjusting entries are made, and therefore the net profit or loss for the year will be the same in the alternative performance targets of the management's review and in the IFRS financial statements.

Core profit is defined as the pre-tax profit exclusive of investment portfolio earnings. Hence earnings from customers are expressed better than in the IFRS financial statements.

Investment portfolio earnings are defined as the return on the Group's portfolio of shares, bonds, derivatives and equity investments, yet exclusive of the liquidity buffer and certain strategic equity investments. Investment portfolio earnings are calculated after expenses for funding and attributable costs.

One-off costs are costs relating to the acquisition of Svenska Handelsbanken's Danish activities. These one-offs are included in the IFRS income statement under expenses for staff and administrative expenses, etc.

The above table illustrates relationships between income statement items under Group key financial data, page 7, and income statement items in the IFRS financial statements, page 95.

Reclassification relates to the following:

  • Expenses of DKK 89m (2022: expenses of DKK 8m) due to value adjustments relating to the balance principle at Jyske Realkredit were reclassified from value adjustments to interest income.

  • Income of DKK 2m. (2022: Income of DKK 4m) from external revenue was reclassified from income to offsetting against expenses.

  • Depreciation and amortisation of DKK 475m (2022: DKK 528m) were reclassified from expenses to income from operating lease (net).

2 Segmental financial statements, cont.

Please see below for definitions of the additional financial ratios stated under Group, page 7.

"Earnings per share", "Earnings per share (diluted)", "Pre-tax profit as a percentage of average equity" and "Net profit as a percentage of average equity" are calculated as if additional tier 1 capital (AT1) is recognised as a liability. In the numerator, the profit is less interest expenses for additional tier 1 capital (AT1) of DKK 163m (2022: DKK 147m) and the denominator is calculated as equity exclusive of Additional tier 1 capital (AT1) of DKK 3,313m (2022: DKK 3,301m).

"Expenses as a percentage of income" is calculated as core expenses divided by core income.

"Book value per share" and "Price/book value per share" are calculated as if additional tier 1 capital (AT1) is accounted for as a liability. Book value was calculated exclusive of additional tier 1 capital (AT1) of DKK 3,313m. (2022: DKK 3,301m).

Jyske Bank's fee and commission income was calculated at the end of the year, when the bank's obligation to deliver had been fulfilled and also the customer's payment had been effected. Hence there remains no material balances of contractual assets and liabilities. The fee income for the year amounting to DKK 3,079m less the fees and commissions paid for the year and commission expenses of DKK 501m constitute the net fee and commission income for the year in the amount of DKK 2,578m (2022: DKK 2,529m). These are recognised in the segmental financial statements for the bank's three business areas, cf. note 2. Loan application fees received relating to financial instruments measured at amortised cost amounted to DKK 231m (2022: DKK 214m). Fee and commission income from asset-management activities and other activities entrusted to the bank that entail management or investment of assets on behalf of individuals, funds, pension funds and other institutions amounted to DKK 894m.

*Salaries and remuneration to the Executive Board include value of company car, etc., commencement and severance pay as well as the retirement remuneration in the amount of DKK 2m (2022: DKK 3m). Variable remuneration to the Executive Board totalled DKK 9.5m (2022: DKK 0m).

Details of the individual remuneration of the members of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board are stated in the remuneration report, pages 5-6, available at www.jyskebank.com/investorrelations/governance.

The members of the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board are not offered any incentive programmes. No member of the Supervisory Board or the Executive Board is specifically remunerated as a member of the board in any Group enterprise. Members of the Executive Board are not separately remunerated as members of supervisory boards or board of directors outside the Group (for instance, sector companies). Alternatively, such remuneration will be set off against the salary of the individual member of the Executive Board.

Members of the Executive Board as well as Jyske Bank can mutually terminate the employment subject to a term of notice of six months. Where Jyske Bank terminates the employment, a severance pays equalling the past 24 months' pay, inclusive of any retirement remuneration from Jyske Bank's Pensionstilskudsfond will also be given. For managing directors employed after 2017 the allowance may, however, amount to maximum 18 months' salary.

The Group does not pay any separate pension contribution for the members of the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board in addition to the remuneration stated in the financial statements.

Jyske Bank's Pensionstilskudsfond is a fund which offers supplementary pensions to current and former members of the Executive Board and their surviving relatives, if any. Payment will commence upon the resignation of the individual member of the Executive Board. Since 1 January 2011, members of the Executive Board do not qualify for any further rights to pension supplements from Jyske Bank's Pensionstilskudfond apart from a one-off payment in the form of a seniority-dependent retirement remuneration not exceeding 83.33% of the annual salary at the time of resignation, cf. the above table showing the total remuneration of the Executive Board. The retirement remuneration will be maximised when a member reaches 25 years of seniority, as regards Lars Mørch and as regards Peter Schleidt and Per Skovhus when they reach 10 years of seniority. In the event of lower seniority at the time of resignation, the retirement remuneration will be reduced proportionally according to the shorter seniority. The pension liabilities of Jyske Bank's Pensionstilskudsfond are calculated actuarially and based on a number of assumptions. To the extent the value of Jyske Bank's Pensionstilskudsfond's assets does not match the net present value of the liabilities, the remaining amount has been recognised as a liability in the financial statements. See notes 37 and 62 for further details.

* The discount for loans and advances taken over amounts to the expected credit losses at the initial recognition at fair value.

The discount balance for loans and advances taken over is not included in the balance of loan impairment charges and provisions for guarantees.

In general, impairment charges at the Group still developed favourably in 2023. This is also reflected in the stage migrations which showed a trend towards improving credit quality.

The transfer of impairment charges from stages 2 and 3 to stage 1 is fuelled by a few customer business groups. The balance of impairment charges rose marginally, driven, among other things, by an increase in impairment charges to property exposures in stage 3 and an update of the increases in impairment charges to macroeconomic risks.

The items of new loans and advances, etc. and discontinued loans and advances, etc. were affected by natural refinancing and remortgaging. The period only saw minor model adjustments, and the write-offs of losses are at a low level.

Post-model adjustments

In addition to the calculations of impairment charges, a management's assessment is performed of the impairment models and the ability of the expert-assessed impairment calculations to take into consideration the future economic development. In addition, a management's estimate must be made for process-related risks if for instance the quality of basic data is not satisfactory of if errors in the basic registrations are of importance to the impairment calculations. To the extent that it is assessed that circumstances and risks are not included in the models, an addition to the impairment calculations is made which is based a management's estimate. This estimate is based on specific observations and is calculated on the basis of the expected risks of the specific sub-portfolios.

At the end of 2023, the Group's post-model adjustments totalled DKK 1,934m (2022: DKK 1,425m).

It is essential that the basis of the post-model adjustments is well-founded on realistic circumstances and expectations that are not fully recognized in the impairment charges calculated. Documentation and determination will always consist of a coherent chain of reasoning between the well-founded circumstances and the expectation of loss. The determination is supported by data and is based on the specific portfolio, yet it may also be based on an estimate of the effect. On a quarterly basis, the post-model adjustments are reassessed on the basis of updated controls and analyses of the specific areas.

At the end of 2023, the Group's post-model adjustments totalled DKK 1,934m (2022: DKK 1,425m). The increase car primarily be attributed to the fact that after the migration of loans and advances taken over from Handelsbanken in November 2023, a management's estimate of this portfolio is made according to Jyske Bank's models in this respect. Previously, the credit loss was based on a simpler calculation outside the Group's loan impairment system as it has not been possible to separate the expected individual credit losses and the additions estimated by management. The increase in management's additions to the Handelsbanken portfolio was offset by a reduction of the expected credit losses at the take-over (discount), and therefore has no significant earnings impact. In addition, the increase in management's additions rose as a result of the macroeconomic development and expectations of higher uncertainty of prices of especially investment and rental property due to the higher interest rate level.

Jyske Bank and Jyske Finans
For Jyske Bank and Jyske Finans,
the effect on impairment charges
has been computed by stressing
the input parameters for place
ment in stages for customers with
a PD above 2% and reducing the
value of property security by 15%-
20%. It is estimated that the best
part of the credit portfolio defined
as PD<2% has a low credit risk and
will not be materially affected by
the macroeconomic risks. In addi
tion, it has been decided to stress
the value of property security
since this is the most important
security type that will be affected
by macroeconomic risks.
Jyske Realkredit
The effects on impairment
charges have for Jyske Realkredit
been computed by assessing the
scope of commercial property
with LTV>100 in a middle stress
scenario in which interest rates in
crease to 5% and the required
rate of return increases by 1.5%-
points whereas the cash flow is
unchanged.
For loans and advances to private
homes at Jyske Realkredit the
evaluation of the effects on im
pairment charges is based on ex

customers who may land in finan
cial difficulties.

To take account of uncertainties relating to these assumptions the impairment effect is quantified in several economic scenarios. Therefore, at the end of 2023, additions to non-linear impairment effects estimated by management cover estimated loss associated with the non-linear correlation of the impairment effect in case of different economic scenarios (good, base-line, weak and hard economic scenarios).

impairment effects (sensitivities relating to the base-line scenario) is for customers in stages 1 and 2 calculated by stressing input parameters for PD and the value of property security.

Impairment effects derived from macroeconomic scenarios (quantification of non-linear impairment effects)

The macroeconomic forecasts are very much affected by the recent economic development and, in combination with the low, observed default rates in recent years, the uncertainty is considered high in relation to a projection disregarding derived economic effects. Therefore, analyses are performed of the indication of impairment in several scenarios. This is done with a view to assessment of the sensitivity relating to the most probable scenario (base line scenario) and with a view to quantification of non-linear effects from scenario-specific impairment calculations. Four scenarios are used, based on the Group's expectations of the macro-economic development (Good, Baseline, Weak and Hard). The scenarios are based on forecasts prepared by Jyske Markets, Macro Research, a unit that is independent of the impairment process. The 'Hard' scenario is in line with the scenario used in the Group's internal stress tests. For each scenario, the probability of default (PD) and the value of securities are re-calculated. Hence it is ensured that the results of the models are balanced. The impairment effect of the scenarios is calculated by weighting the results against the assessed event probability, which is defined by management. Macro-economic scenarios and event probability are reviewed at least once a year. The economic development over the recent period has affected the impairment model in the base line scenario and absorbed part of the scenario effects. Overall, derived from the scenario calculation, this results in impairment charges of DKK 162m (2022: DKK 155m).

2023 2022
Weighted additional impair Weighted additional impair
Scenario Probability ment charges Probability ment charges
Good 30% -7 30% -7
Baseline 30% 0 30% 0
Weak 30% 98 30% 53
Hard 10% 69 10% 109
Total 100% 160 100% 155

The probability of the scenarios is maintained at an unchanged level relative to 2022. This is assessed to be a fair presentation based on the update of the base line scenario to the current macro-economic forecasts and that the uncertainty relating to the outcome space is subsequently considered unchanged. The results shown in the above table can be applied to a sensitivity assessment of the calculations for the portfolio.

For instance, the additional indication of impairment will increase to DKK 330m, if the scenario Weak is weighted 100% in the analysis. Likewise,the additional indication of impairment will increase to DKK 700m, if the scenario Hard is weighted 100% in the analysis.

The scenarios reflect the uncertainty involved in economic developments. Table 1 shows the expectations of the development in GDP, unemployment, deposit rate and property prices for baseline and hard scenario. These four selected key indicators are primarily macroeconomic indicators in the PD determination although the scenarios include additional macroeconomic indicators. The economic indicators were updated as at 31 December 2023, and consequently the indicators for 2023 reflect the realised figures with forecasts for Q4.

The base line scenario anticipates an increase in GDP growth at 0.19% and a decline in housing prices of 2.01% in 2024. In addition, unemployment is in 2024 expected to rise to 2.78%, whereas the deposit rate is maintained at the same level as in 2023. Expectations of GDP growth in 2025 reflect a continued increase in GDP growth of 1.26%. Unemployment is also expected to continue to rise and is expected to be at 3.25% in 2025. Moreover, expectations of housing prices will turn in 2025, and consequently an increase of 0.98% is expected. The deposit rate is expected to fall by 1%-point and therefore the deposit rate is in 2025 anticipated to be 2.23%.

The hard scenario anticipates a decline in GDP growth at 2.75% and a decline in housing prices of 19.42% in 2024. Moreover, the unemployment rate is expected to go up to 5.54% whereas the deposit rate is expected to reiterate the level from 2023. Anticipations of GDP growth are in 2025 expected to fall by 4.12% and housing prices are expected to decline by 3.95%. In the hard scenario, unemployment is expected to rise to 8.23% in 2025 whereas the deposit rate is expected to fall to 2.23%.

Standard terms

Personal customers

Jyske Bank can call in floating-rate loans and credit facilities with a reasonable or usual notice of termination according to the rules on good business practice. Fixed-rate loans are non-callable. Customers can terminate their commitment with Jyske Bank without notice or, in the case of fixed-rate credit facilities, at two business days' notice. In case of default, Jyske Bank can terminate an agreement without notice.

As a main rule, the debtor undertakes to disclose financial information. Jyske Bank may dispense with such undertaking where other information on the commitment, on the repayment record and the collateral provided is deemed adequate to assess the credit risk.

Small and medium-sized corporate customers

Jyske Bank can call in floating-rate loans and credit facilities without notice. In respect of old agreements, a term of notice of four weeks may apply on the part of Jyske Bank. Fixed-rate loans are non-callable. In case of default, a customer relationship can be terminated without notice.

Unless collateral has been provided in full, the borrower is obliged to submit financial information.

Large corporate customers

Terms of notice are agreed upon on an individual basis and may correspond to the standard notice applicable to other corporate customers. For facilities that cannot be terminated at short notice, covenants regarding financial ratios and material changes in the position of the customer are standard.

Generally, financial information is submitted quarterly.

The table below comprises agreed payments, including principal and interest. The balances in the table are not directly comparable with those in the consolidated balance sheet since the table represents gross cash flows relating to principal payments and not the accounting value of the balance sheet which comprises discounted cash flows. For liabilities with variable cash flows, for instance floating-rate liabilities the information is based on the contractual issues at the balance sheet date.

The Group has not seen significant changes to the quality of the collateral or other credit protection due to deterioration or changes to the company's policy on provision of collateral during the accounting period. The collateral values were in 2023 dominated by IT migration of the portfolio from the acquisition of the Danish activities from Svenska Handelsbanken which primarily affect the collateral values for mortgage deeds.

The types of collateral are ranked with the most liquid types at the top. The collateral values have been reduced in order of priority according to liquidity if the collateral values exceed loans, advances and guarantees at customer level. Consequently, surplus collateral values from exposures that have been fully guaranteed are not included in the above note. For customers with fully guaranteed exposures in all impairment scenarios, the calculated indication of impairment will generally be DKK 0. This may be the case with exposures with a high surplus of fixed-value collateral such as cash, securities and properties. Therefore, exposure categories with a calculated indication of impairment of DKK 0 are typically mortgage loans, home loans, cooperative unit loans and investment credit facilities.

In the financial year 2023, no changes were made to the valuation principles. Collateral values are recognised according to the following principles:

Highly liquid securities

Basically, Jyske Bank applies the official listed price, adjusted where necessary for marketability, currency of denomination and maturity.

Real property, residential

The collateral value of a charge on real property is calculated on the basis of the expected fair value of the property less sales costs and any senior mortgages. The value of real property is regularly assessed on the basis of the price trend of comparable real property, among other things. Collateral values are assessed individually depending on the characteristics of the real property in question, inter alia, type of property, location and size less expenses for realisation. The collateral value is applied for various purposes and is therefore adjusted to specific requirements depending on its application.

Commercial Property

The collateral value of a charge on real property is calculated on the basis of the expected fair value of the property less sales costs and any senior mortgages. The value of real property is regularly assessed on the basis of the price trend of comparable real property, among other things. Collateral values are assessed individually depending on the characteristics of the real property in question, inter alia, the type of property in question, or by an independent assessment or the public land assessment. The collateral value is applied for various purposes and is therefore adjusted to specific requirements depending on its application.

Movable property

Jyske Bank's model is based on our historical loss experience of various asset types. Collateral value is reduced in accordance with the diminishing-balance method, which involves write-off of typically 10%-50% on acquisition and annual depreciation, typically of 10%- 50% of the asset value, during the useful life of the asset.

Guarantees

The value of surety and guarantees is calculated by means of a 'double-default' model which takes into account that Jyske Bank only risks a loss if the debtor's and the guarantor's defaults are correlated. The effect of this is recognised by calculating an equivalent collateral value.

Fair value of the "held-to-maturity portfolio" was lower than the carrying amount by DKK 890m against DKK 1,786m lower than the carrying amount at the end of 2022.

25 Collateral

The Group receives and provides collateral in connection with money and securities clearing, outstanding accounts with central banks, repo and reverse repo transactions, triparty agreements as well as fair value of derivatives covered by CSA agreements.

Provision of collateral is a regular part of business transactions and are carried out at market-consistent terms and conditions. Collateral is increased and reduced on an on-going basis as liabilities change.

Depending on agreements entered, collateral is provided and received with an owner's rights so that the recipient of collateral can sell this or use it to provide security for loans and other outstanding accounts.

The Group deposited bonds with central banks and clearing houses, etc. in connection with clearing and settlement of securities and currency transactions as well as triparty repo transactions totalling a market value of DKK 20,728m at the end of 2023 (2022: DKK 15,686m).

In addition, in connection with CSA agreements, the Group provided cash collateral of DKK 5,241m (2022: DKK 6,725m) and bonds worth DKK 3,087m (2022: DKK 6,566m).

The conclusion of repo transactions, i.e., sale of securities involving agreements to repurchase them at a later point in time, implies that bonds worth DKK 14,545m were provided as collateral at the end of 2023. (2022: DKK 18,042m) as collateral at end-2023 for the amount borrowed. See note 40 for further details.

Mortgage loans of DKK 352,279m (2022: DKK 333,370m) and other assets worth DKK 40,156m (2022: DKK 25,532m) were at the end of 2023 registered as collateral for issued mortgage bonds, including covered bonds. According to the Danish mortgage legislation, the issued mortgage bonds, including covered bonds, are secured against the underlying mortgage loans.

Due to reverse repos, i.e., purchase of securities involving agreements to resell them at a later point in time, the Group received the sold bonds as security for the amount that was lent. At the end of 2023, reverse repos amounted to DKK 57,544m (2022: DKK 54,902m).

In addition, in connection with CSA agreements, the Group has received provided cash collateral of DKK 6,907m (2022: DKK 10,848m) and bonds worth DKK 1,929m (2022: DKK 2,712m).

Goodwill Goodwill consists of the additional value Jyske Bank paid for the acquisition of Svenska Handelsbanken's Danish activities as at 1 December 2022. Goodwill is allocated to banking activities.

Goodwill is tested on an annual basis and on indications of impairment. An impairment test has not given rise to impairment of goodwill as at 31 December 2023.

The impairment test compares the carrying amount of goodwill with the estimated net present value of expected future cash flows. The net present value is estimated in an equity/dividend model as the value of the expected capital distribution to shareholders is discounted back with cost of equity before tax at 13.4% p.a., or at 9.8% p.a. after tax. The cost of equity is based on the historical valuation of the earnings expectations of equity analysts.

The cash flow forecast consists of a five-year budget period based on approved strategies, earnings projections and capital targets. The budget period mirrors moderate growth in income inclusive of expectations of customer inflow and customer outflow as well as margin development. Expenses are affected in the budget period by integration and restructuring costs as well as an ongoing underlying cost inflation and realisation of synergies. The cash flow forecast for the subsequent terminal period mirrors long-term growth at 1.7% p.a.

An increase in the cost of equity or reduction of terminal growth by 1%-point will not give rise to goodwill depreciation. Likewise, an increase in the required common equity tier 1 capital ratio by 1%-point will not result in any impairment loss.

Customer relations Fair value of customer relations has been determined by means of the Multi-Period Excess Earnings method (MEEM). Customer relations are computed as the net present value of the expected future cash flows which are obtained through sale to the customers after deduction of a reasonable return on all other assets which contribute to generating the relevant cash flows.

The value of customer relations is depreciated by the straight-line method over the expected useful life of 7-10 years. Additions during the year relate to the acquisition of PFA Bank A/S. See note 65.

On a daily basis, the Group issues and redeems a large number of mortgage bonds. Consequently,to some extent the change in the fair value of the issued mortgage bonds attributable to the change in credit risk can only be stated subject to some estimation. The model applied performs the calculation on the basis of the change in the option-adjusted spread (OAS) relative to the swap curve. The calculation allows for, among other things, the maturity of the issued bonds as well as the nominal holding at the beginning and at the end of the year, and also adjustments are made for the Group's own holding of Jyske Realkredit bonds, which are offset.

The change in the fair value of issued mortgage bonds that can be attributed to credit risk is then calculated so it implies a decline in the fair value by DKK 3.0bn in 2023 (2022: an increase of DKK 2.5bn). Since the issue, the accumulated change in fair value of the issued mortgage bonds at the end of 2023 attributable to credit risk is estimated to be an increase of DKK 0.5bn (2022: an increase of DKK 3.7bn).

The change in fair value of the issued mortgage bonds that can be attributed to credit risk can also be stated relative to corresponding mortgage bonds with the same rating (AAA) from other Danish issuers. In recent years these bonds have been traded at prices showing no measurable price differences between the various issuers' bonds with similar characteristics. Stated according to this method, no changes have taken place to the fair value that can be attributed to credit risk, neither in the course of the year, nor since issue.

Net profit for the year or equity was not affected by the change, since the value of mortgage loans changed correspondingly

The difference between the fair value of the issued bonds of DKK 346bn (2022: DKK 324bn) and the nominal value of the issued bonds at DKK 367bn (2022: DKK 357bn), corresponding to the value which is to be repaid via redemptions and/or maturity of the bonds amount to DKK -21bn. (2022: DKK -32bn).

The most important actuarial assumptions in the calculation of pension liabilities relate to interest rate level and the general rate of wage increases. If the discount rate falls by 0.25% to 2.75%, the pension provisions increase by DKK 7m. If the rate of wage increases rises by 0.25% to 2.25%, the pension provisions increase by DKK 7m.

For 2024, payments to defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans are expected to be DKK 334m.

Defined contribution pension plans

A large part of the Group's pension plans is defined contribution plans under which payments are made into pension funds, primarily PFA Pension. These payments are charged to the income statement as they occur.

Defined benefit plans

Retirement remuneration equalling a maximum of one year's salary is paid to employees on retirement. In 2023, total provisions in the balance sheet amounted to DKK 384m (2022: DKK 392m) recognised as the net present value of the part of the overall liability which relates to the term during which employees have been employed with the Group. Employees recruited not later than on 31 August 2005 are offered participation in the retirement remuneration plan. Please see note 12 for details on the terms and conditions for retirement remuneration for the Executive Board.

Jyske Bank A/S's Pensionstilskudsfond is a fund which offers supplementary pensions to current and former members of Jyske Bank's Executive Board and their surviving relatives. Provisions at end-2023 of DKK 41m (2022: DKK 51m) are computed as the net present value of the liabilities at DKK 111m (2022: DKK 124m) less the fair value of the assets at DKK 70m (2022: DKK 73m).

Long-term employee benefits

An anniversary bonus equalling one month's salary is paid when an employee has worked for the Group for 25 years and 40 years. Provisions at end-2023 of DKK 65m (2022: DKK 60m) are computed as the net present value of the expected future anniversary bonus payments.

Jyske Bank has not lent bonds that are still recognised in the balance sheet. Moreover, Jyske Bank has not borrowed bonds that are not recognised in the balance sheet.

Jyske Bank enters transactions transferring the ownership to financial assets to the counterparty, yet Jyske Bank maintains the material part of the risks on the assets in question. When the most material risks are maintained, the asset is still recognised in Jyske Bank's balance sheet. Such transactions include repo transactions. Repo transactions are sales of bonds where at the time of a sale an agreement is made on the repurchase at some later point in time at a certain price.

Jyske Bank has not entered into agreements on the transfer of financial assets, where the assets sold no longer are recognised in the balance sheet, but where after the sale material risk and continued involvement exist.

41 Contingent liabilities

Financial guarantees are primarily payment guarantees, and the risk equals that involved in credit facilities.

Guarantees for losses on mortgage loans are typically provided as security for the riskiest part of mortgage loans granted to personal customers and to a limited extent for loans secured on commercial real property. Guarantees for residential real property are within 80% and for commercial real property within 60%-80%, of the property value as assessed by a professional expert.

Registration and refinancing guarantees are provided in connection with the registration of new and refinanced mortgages. Such guarantees involve insignificant risk.

Other contingent liabilities include other forms of guarantees at varying degrees of risk, including performance guarantees. The risk involved is deemed to be less than the risk involved in, e.g., credit facilities subject to flexible drawdown.

The Group is also a party to a number of legal disputes arising from its business activities. The Group estimates the risk involved in each individual case and makes any necessary provisions which are recognised under contingent liabilities. The Group does not expect such liabilities to have material influence on the Group's financial position.

In 2021, the FSA performed a money-laundering inspection at Jyske Bank and in 2022, it published its report on the inspection relating primarily to a small number of home loans in Southern Europe.

Subsequently, the FSA informed Jyske Bank that it intended to file a police report for the violation of provisions of the Danish antimoney laundering act on customer due diligence procedures and duty of inspection. Jyske Banks estimates that there is a limited risk that the bank has been exploited for money laundering, and Jyske Bank assesses to have a good understanding of the customers and the origin of the funds. Jyske Bank will cooperate with the police on all issues of the matter. Jyske Bank does not expect that the matter will materially influence the Group's financial position.

Because of its mandatory participation in the deposit guarantee scheme, the sector has paid an annual contribution of 2.5‰ of the covered net deposits until the assets of Pengeinstitutafdelingen (the financial institution fund) exceed 0.8% of the total net deposits covered, which level has been reached. According to Bank Package 3 and Bank Package 4, Pengeinstitutafdelingen bears the immediate losses attributable to covered net deposits and relating to the winding up of financial institutions in distress. Any losses in connection with the final winding up are covered by the Guarantee Fund's Afviklings- og Restruktureringsafdeling (settlement and restructuring fund), where Jyske Bank currently guarantees 7.91% of any losses.

The statutory participation in the resolution financing arrangements (Resolution Fund) as of June 2015 entailed that credit institutions pay an annual contribution over a 10-year period to a Danish national fund with a target size totalling 1% of the covered deposits. Credit institutions are to contribute according to their relative sizes and risk in Denmark, and the first contributions to the Resolution Fund were paid at the end of 2015. The Group expects having to pay a total of about DKK 650m over the 10-year period 2015 - 2024.

Due to Jyske Bank's membership of the Foreningen Bankdata, the bank is - in the event of its withdrawal - under the obligation to pay an exit charge to Bankdata in the amount of about DKK 1.9 bn.

Jyske Bank A/S is assessed for Danish tax purposes jointly with all domestic subsidiaries which are part of the Group. Jyske Bank A/S is the administration company of the joint taxation and has unlimited joint and several liability for the Danish corporation taxes of the joint taxation. Jyske Bank A/S and its most important subsidiaries are part of a joint VAT registration and is thus jointly and severally liable for the payment of VAT and payroll tax of the joint registration.

On the balance sheet, reverse repo transactions are classified as claims on credit institutions or loans at amortised cost. On the balance sheet, repo transactions are classified as debt to credit institutions or deposits.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the Group and the counterparty has a legal right to offset and have also agreed to settle net or realise the asset and the liability at the same time. Positive and negative fair values of derivative financial instruments with the same counterparty are offset if net settlement of the contractual payments has been agreed and daily cash payments or provision of collateral for changes in the fair value take place. The Group's netting of positive and negative fair values of derivative financial instruments can be referred to clearing through a central clearing house (CCP clearing).

Master netting agreements and similar agreements entitles a party to further offsetting if a counterparty is in default, which lowers the exposure further when a counterparty is in default but does not meet the conditions for accounting offsetting on the balance sheet.

45 Notes on fair value

Methods for measuring fair value Fair value is the price that, at the time of measurement, would be obtained by selling an asset or paid for by transferring a liability in an ordinary transaction between independent market participants. The fair value may equal the book value where book value is recognised on the basis of underlying assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

For all assets listed on active markets, fair values are measured at official prices (the category "Quoted prices"). Where no price is quoted, a different official price is used which is taken to reflect most closely the fair value (the category "Observable prices"). Financial assets and liabilities of which quoted prices or other official prices are not available or are not taken to reflect the fair value are measured at fair value according to other evaluation techniques and other observable market information. In those cases where observable prices based on market information are not available or are not taken to be useful for measuring fair value, the fair value is measured by recognised techniques, including discounted future cash flows, and own expertise (category "non-observable prices"). The basis of the measurement may be recent transactions involving comparable assets or liabilities, interest rates, exchange rates, volatility, credit spreads, etc. Generally, the Group's unlisted shares are placed in this category.

Generally, quoted prices and observable input are obtained in the form of interest rates and equity and bond prices, exchange rates, volatilities, etc. from recognised stock exchanges and providers.

Specific details on methods for measuring fair value

Loans at fair value are predominantly mortgage loans and generally measured at prices of the underlying bonds quoted on a recognised stock exchange. If such a market price is not available for the preceding 7 days, a calculated price based on the official market rate will be applied for determining the value. If derivatives are part of the funding of the mortgage loans, the value of these will be integrated in the valuation of the loans. The fair value is reduced by the calculated impairment charge, which for loans at fair value is measured according to the same principles that apply to impairments of loans and advances at amortised cost.

Bonds at fair value, shares, assets linked to pooled deposits, and derivatives are measured at fair value in the accounts to the effect that the carrying amounts equal fair values.

Generally, bonds are measured at prices quoted on a recognised stock exchange. Alternatively, prices are applied that are calculated on the basis of Jyske Bank's own measurement models based on a yield curve with a credit spread. Essentially, the calculated prices are based on observable input.

Generally, equities, etc. are measured at prices quoted on a recognised stock exchange. Alternatively, prices are applied that are calculated on the basis of Jyske Bank's own valuation models based on observable input, shareholders' agreements, executed transactions, etc. Unlisted equities are valued on the basis of discounted cash flow models (DCF).

Derivatives are valued on the basis of a market-consistent yield curve set-up, credit models and option models such as Black-Scholes. The models applied are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure robustness and a high quality of the output of the models. To ensure that the methods of valuation are always consistent with current market practice, the models are validated by units independent of the unit that develop the models.

To the greatest extent possible, the methods of valuation are based on observable market quotes, such as market rates, exchange rates, volatilities, market prices, etc. Often methods of interpolation will also be incorporated to value the specific contracts.

The fair value of derivatives is also adjusted for credit risk (CVA and DVA) and funding costs (FVA). Customer margins are amortised over the remaining time to maturity.

Assets related to pooled deposits are measured according to the above principles.

Information about differences between recognised value and measurement of fair value

Loans and advances exclusive of mortgage loans and certain other home loans are recognised at amortised cost. The difference to fair value is assumed to be fee and commission received, costs defrayed in connection with lending, plus interest rate-dependent value adjustment calculated by comparing current market rates with market rates at the time when the loans and advances were established. Changes in credit quality are assumed to be included under impairment charges both for carrying amounts and fair values.

Subordinated debt and issued bonds exclusive of issues of mortgage bonds are recognised at amortised cost supplemented with the fair value of the hedged interest rate risk. The difference to fair value was calculated on the basis of own-issue prices obtained externally.

Deposits are recognised at amortised cost. The difference to fair value is assumed to be the interest rate dependent value adjustment calculated by comparing current market rates with market rates at the time when the deposits were made.

Balances with credit institutions are recognised at amortised cost. The difference to fair value is assumed to be the interest rate dependent value adjustment calculated by comparing current market rates with market rates at the time when the transactions were established. Changes in the credit quality of balances with credit institutions are assumed to be included under impairment charges for loans, advances, and receivables. Changes in the fair values of balances due to credit institutions because of changes in Jyske Bank's own credit rating are not taken into account.

The calculated fair values of financial assets and liabilities recognised at amortised cost are materially non-observable prices (level 3) in the fair value hierarchy.

45 Notes on fair value, cont.

Information about changes in credit risk on derivatives with positive fair value.

In order to allow for the credit risk on derivatives for customers without credit impairment, the fair value is adjusted (CVA). Adjustments will also be made for customers with credit impairment, but on an individual basis.

For any given counterparty's total portfolio of derivatives, CVA is a function of the expected positive exposure (EPE), loss given default (LGD) as well as the probability of default (PD) of the counterparty.

When determining the EPE, a model is used to establish the expected positive exposure to the counterparty's portfolio over the maturity of the derivatives. The PDs that Jyske Bank has applied in the model so far were estimated on the basis of IRB (internal rating based) PDs. This method of estimating PDs was in 2021 replaced with a new method, which to a higher extent mirrors the likelihood of default, which can be seen in the market, as the likelihoods of default are inferred via market-observable CDS spreads. LGD is set at compliant with quotations of CDS spreads in connection with the calculation of likelihoods of default whereas the exposure profiles have been adjusted for the effect from any security and CSA agreements.

In addition to CVA, also an adjustment is made of the fair value of derivatives that have an expected future negative fair value. This takes place to allow for changes in the counterparties' credit risk against the Group (debt valuation adjustment - DVA). The DVA takes place according to the same principles that apply to the CVA, yet PD for Jyske Bank is determined on the basis of Jyske Bank's external rating by Standard & Poor's. At the end of 2023, CVA and DVA amounted, on an accumulated basis, to net DKK 26m, which accumulated amount was recognised as an expense under value adjustments, against an accumulated amount of DKK 9m at the end of 2022.

46 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The table shows the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and the carrying amounts. The re-statement at fair value of financial assets and liabilities shows a total non-recognised unrealised loss of DKK 888m at the end of 2023 against a total non-recognised unrealised loss of DKK 753m at the end of 2022. Unrealised gains and losses caused by changes in the fair values of shares in sectorowned undertakings are recognised in the income statement. The carrying amount of those shares in the balance sheet at the end of 2023 amounted to DKK 734m (2022: DKK 889m), and the recognised value adjustment in the income statement amounted to DKK 89m (2022: DKK 81m).

Non-observable input

Non-observable input at the end of 2023 referred to unlisted shares recognised at DKK 1,014m against unlisted shares recognised at DKK 1,168m at the end of 2022. These are primarily sector shares. The measurements, which are associated with some uncertainty, are made on the basis of the shares' book value, market trades, shareholders' agreements as well as own assumptions and extrapolations. In the cases where Jyske Bank calculates the fair value on the basis of the company's expected future earnings, a required rate of return of 15% p.a. before tax is applied. If it is assumed that the actual market price will deviate by +/-10% relative to the calculated fair value, the effect on the income statement would amount to DKK 101m on 31 December 2023 (0.24% of the shareholders' equity at the end of 2023). For 2022, the effect on the income statement is estimated at DKK 117m (0.31% of shareholders' funds at the end of 2022). Capital gain and loss for the year on unlisted shares recognised in the income statement is attributable to assets held at the end of 2023. Jyske Bank finds it of little probability that the application of alternative prices in the measurement of fair value would result in a material deviation from the recognised fair value.

47 Fair value hierarchy, cont.

Non-financial assets recognised at fair value Investment properties were recognised at a fair value of DKK 89m (end of 2022: DKK 97m). Fair value belongs to the category of nonobservable prices calculated on the basis of a required rate of return of 2%-10% (end of 2022: 3%-10%).

At the end of 2023, assets held temporarily included properties repossessed temporarily and cars etc. Assets held temporarily were recognised at the lower of cost and fair value less costs of sale. Assets held temporarily were recognised at DKK 84m (end of 2022: DKK 65m). Fair value belongs to the category of non-observable prices.

Owner-occupied properties, exclusive of leased properties, are recognised at the restated value corresponding to the fair value at the date of the revaluation less subsequent amortization, depreciation and impairment. The valuation of selected land and buildings is carried out with the assistance of external experts. Based on the returns method, the measurement takes place in accordance with generally accepted standards and with a weighted average required rate of return of 6.45% at the end of 2023. Owner-occupied properties, exclusive of leased properties, were recognised at DKK 1,589m (2022: DKK 1,591m). See note 30 for further details. The revalued amount belongs to the category of 'non-observable prices'. Leased properties were recognised at DKK 265m (end of 2022: DKK 292m).

48 Risk exposure

Jyske Bank assumes financial risks within established limits and to the extent the risk-adjusted return in this way contributes to the Group's financial goal. On the other hand, it is to the greatest possible extent attempted to minimise operational risks considering the related costs.

Jyske Bank's financial risks consist mainly of credit risks. The Group assumes credit risks if, through individual credit processing, it can be substantiated that the purpose lies within the Group's credit policy, that the debtor has the necessary ability to service debts and that it can be rendered probable that the debtor has the will and the ability to repay the credit granted. Failing that, the subject matter of the charge must have sufficient value as well as stability of value, and it must be substantiated that the subject matter of the charge can be realised and pay off the remaining credit. Finally, it is a requirement that the Group's expected earnings must match the associated credit risk and capital charge.

Moreover, Jyske Bank assumes market risks when a return matching the involved risk can be rendered probable. The Group's market risk consists chiefly of interest rate risk. Trading-related market risks occur mainly due to customer-related transactions. The Group has a very limited strategic trading-market risk position. The market risk profile is characterised by differentiated portfolios, where interest rate and currency risks are the most importing trading-related market risks. Balance sheet management drives the market risk, which does not relate to trading, where interest rate exposures are based on the bank's core activities, mortgage activities as well as liquidity management.

As a consequence ofthe Group's activities, liquidity risks arise when there is a funding mismatch in the balance sheet because the loan portfolio has a longer duration than its average funding sources. Active liquidity management will ensure that there is sufficient liquidity in the short and long term to meet the Group's payment obligations.

At any time, the total risks are adjusted to the Group's risk profile and capital structure according to the Group's capital management objective.

49 Risk management and risk organisation

Risk management is a key element in the Group's daily operations and is anchored in the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board.

The Supervisory Board lays down the general principles for risk and capital management as well as for the Group's risk profile and implement these in the Group by adopting a number of risk policies and instructions. Together with the Executive Board, the Supervisory Board is responsible for ensuring that the Group has an organisational structure that will secure a distinct allocation of responsibility and include an appropriate separation of functions between development units, operating units and control units in the daily monitoring and management of the Group's risks.

The Executive Board is responsible for the day-to-day risk management and the management of the Group and will ensure that policies and instructions are operationalized and complied with. The Executive Board has appointed a Group Chief Risk Officer, who is also the director of the Risk unit. The responsibilities of the unit include assets involving risks across areas of risk and organisational units, including:

  • Present risk policies and risk management principles to the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board.
  • Presentation of a comprehensive picture of risk for the decision-makers.
  • Implementation of risk management principles and policies in order to improve risk management on an on-going basis.
  • Quantification of the Group's risk exposure as well as monitoring and reporting to ascertain that the Group's risk exposure does not exceed the limits defined by the Supervisory Board.

49 Risk management and risk organisation, cont.

To achieve efficient risk management close to the mortgage-credit business, the Group has also appointed a risk officer at Jyske Realkredit. The risk officer and his employees form an integral part of the unit Risk to ensure that the Group Chief Risk Officer has a complete overview of the entire Group's risks.

Day-to-day management of credit risk is undertaken by account managers as well as the Credit Division with due regard to credit policies and credit instructions.

Jyske Bank has three business areas that manage market risk. Strategic market risks are managed by Group Treasury, and investments are in general based on a long-term perspective on the financial markets. Jyske Markets and Jyske Realkredit manage shortterm market risks as part of the servicing of customers' trades with financial instruments and in the mortgage credit business.

Similarly, the strategic liquidity risks are managed by Group Treasury, and the short-term operational liquidity is managed at Jyske Markets.

The day-to-day management of operational risk is undertaken by the individual units of the Group.

ESG risks are considered transversal risks within the other risk types of the Group. Consequently, the risk management is an integrated part of the above-mentioned processes within the Group.

50 Credit risk

Credit risk is managed, among other things, on the basis of the Group's approved advanced credit risk models, The models are used for various purposes, from advisory services offered to the Group's customers to determination of risk and for management reporting.

Credit policy and responsibility

The Supervisory Board determines the general framework for the granting of credit in the Group. The authority structure relating to the granting of credit in the Group is determined by the Supervisory Board, which is also the granting authority in connection with the largest exposures. Granting authority in connection with other exposures has been delegated to the Executive Board.

Credit risk is managed through the credit policy, which defines objectives and framework for the credit risk of the Group with the objective of keeping the Group's risk at a satisfactory and balanced level in respect of the business model, capital base and business volume of the Group as well as the general trend in the Danish economy. Currently we see strong focus on the handling of derived economic effects from high inflation, rising interest rates, challenging supply chains and generally higher uncertainty.

Specific credit policies have been formulated for all areas in which the Group assumes credit risk, and credit risk levels and desired and undesirable types of business have been identified. In connection with this is also the Group's ongoing integration of ESG in its credit policy, where the company's ability to identify with and relate to risks relating to ESG in connection with credit rating should be pointed out. The policies are regularly adjusted to meet current requirements and adapted to the management tools available to account managers and the monitoring functions. In actual practice, the credit policy materialises through detailed business procedures for all material areas.

Customers' transactions with the Group must for the long term generate a satisfactory risk-adjusted return.

ESG risks

Jyske Bank recognises the importance of identifying and addressing ESG risks as an integrated part of the Group's risk management processes, which is in particular relevant when it comes to credit risk. Consequently, an ESG profile describing the customer's ESG risks is prepared in connection with credit grantings for corporate customers. The Group considers ESG risks on an ongoing basis and consequently any needs for changes to the credit policy are assessed.

The Group has a risk-based approach to giving priority to the work with ESG risks in the credit portfolio as weight is attached to both potential consequence and probability of materialisation in the short, medium and long term. For this purpose, the Group uses a framework for which a top-down assessment of relevant ESG issues is made on an ongoing basis for both internal and external qualitative and quantitative information.

The assessment of ESG risks involves both transitional risks, i.e., risks associated with the transfer to a low-emission economy and physical risks, i.e., risks associated with potential changes to climatic conditions. Currently, it is assessed that transitional risks involve the most substantial ESG risk for the credit portfolio whereas the assessment of physical risks shows that potential losses will be moderate even under restrictive assumptions. Sectors with high CO2 emission or high climate complexity are considered particularly material in this respect.

The work with ESG risks is an ongoing process, and the work will be refined as the accessibility of high-quality ESG data increases. So far, the assessments have not resulted in changes to for instance the expected credit loss from the Group's customers. This is either because the materialisation takes place over a longer period than the term of the loan, or because the risks are concentrated with customers for which the Group has already identified an increased risk, e.g., the agricultural sector – and also because the creditor is at the forefront and has dealt with possible ESG risks such as part of the total credit risk prior to measuring the offered financing.

Please see Risk and Capital Management 2023 for further information.

Limits and authorisation

The Group attaches great importance to its decentralised credit-authorisation process. The limit structure states which amounts can be granted and which instances and segments are covered. The main principle is that regularly occurring credit cases can be decided locally, and credit-related decisions for major or more complicated cases must be made centrally – in respect of leasing, bank loans as well as mortgage loans.

Limits are delegated to account managers individually on the basis of perceived competence and need. Decisions about applications over and above the limits delegated to account managers are made by the Credit unit. Credit-related decisions relating to Credit's limits are made by the Executive Board for credit cases at Jyske Bank, whereas the Supervisory Boards of the individual subsidiaries are the granting authority in connection with cases involving customers of the subsidiaries, including and primarily Jyske Realkredit and Jyske Finans. The Executive Board is represented on the Supervisory Boards of the individual subsidiaries. Finally, credit-related decisions exceeding the powers of the supervisory boards of the subsidiaries are taken by the Supervisory Board.

The credit process and monitoring

Together with policies and business procedures, the credit processes form the basis of ensuring that the granting of credit is based on sound risk taking and the highest degree of loss minimisation.

The basis of each authorisation of credit is the customer's ability to repay the loan. A central element in the assessment of the creditworthiness of corporate customers is their ability to service debt out of cash flows from operations in combination with their financial strength. In respect of personal customers, their debt servicing ability, as reflected in budgets and disposable income (before and after the raising of the loan), is decisive.

The extent of data and analyses depends on the customer's financial situation and the complexity of the case and may therefore vary from case to case.

The provision of collateral is a material element in credit granting in order to minimise the Group's future losses. In respect of mortgage loans, real property is always mortgaged, and in respect of leasing, the financed asset has always been provided as security.

Supervision of the Group's credit risk is made partly by the first line (the business) and the second line (Risk Management). The business performs supervision in connection with the ongoing work of account managers and/or credit specialists with the individual customers. Risk Management, which is fully independent on the processes of the business and without business responsibility, performs its supervision from a customer as well as a portfolio perspective. Risk Management is responsible for the ongoing monitoring and analysis of the exposures of the Group, by size, sector, type and geographical area with the main focus on reducing the risk and ensuring satisfactory diversification of the portfolio in accordance with the Group's risk targets. Monitoring takes place through quantitative models at portfolio level.

Credit assessment and PD

Credit procedures are adjusted to match the level of risk on individual exposures. One of the key elements is the ranking (classification) of the customer's credit quality through credit scores. The credit rating expresses the probability of the customer defaulting on his obligations in the coming year. The probability of default is expressed by allocating the customers a Probability of Default(PD). A customer in default is defined as a customer who is not expected to meet his obligations in full. Hence defaulted customers are exposures for which it is assessed more probable that the exposure will result in losses and/or forced sale of assets provided as security to the Group or other creditors.

By far, most customers are awarded a PD on the basis of statistical credit scoring models developed internally in the Group. Very large companies and companies within special sectors are awarded a PD on the basis of an assessment by an independent expert. Examples are financing companies, financial institutions and central governments. In those cases, external ratings, if available, will primarily form the basis of the internal credit rating of the customer.

Many factors are relevant for the calculation of a customer's PD. Specific factors relating to the customer and a large number of factors relating to the situation of the customer are taken into account when making the calculation. The calculation of PD therefore takes into account financial data, changes in transaction data, management and market circumstances, etc. Also included in the calculation are specific danger signals in relation to the customer's credit quality, payment and loss history.

In order to reach the best possible overview of customer credit quality, PD is mapped into internal credit ratings ("STY") at Jyske Bank and Jyske Finans. Jyske Bank's credit ratings are on a scale from 1 to 14, 1 being the best credit quality (the lowest PD) and 14 the poorest credit quality (the highest PD). The scale is constant over time so that customers migrate up or down depending on their PD.

The PD level is monitored quarterly relative to the actual development of the default rate. Adjustments are made with half ofthe fluctuations relative to the long-term average.

At Jyske Realkredit, the PD is translated into 9 rating classes, where rating class 9 designates customers in default. For customers from the acquired customer portfolio from Handelsbanken rating categories from 1 to 5 are allocated to personal customers and 1 to 9 to corporate customers. These rating categories have been mapped to the concept for Jyske Bank. Work is undergoing to harmonise the concepts relating to credit rating in the Group.

Below is shown the mapping between credit ratings, the Jyske Realkredit rating, PD as well as external ratings at the end of 2023 for customers that are not in default.

50 Credit risk, cont.

The Group's internal credit ratings and the Group's mapped Jyske Realkredit ratings aim to assess the credit risk in a one-year perspective, while external ratings (Aaa – C) aim to assess the credit risk in a longer perspective. The mapping between the internal credit ratings, the Jyske Realkredit rating and the external credit ratings is based on the currently observed default frequency for companies rated by Jyske Realkredit and Moody's. The mapping between the internal rating, the Jyske Realkredit ratings and external ratings is therefore dynamic. Observations are made on at least a quarterly basis to determine whether changes are to be made in the mapping.

If the credit rating calculated by the model is considered to be inadequate, independent credit experts may review the credit rating of corporate customers at the request of the relevant account manager.

INTERNAL RATINGS AND PD BAND AND MAPPING TO EXTERNAL RATING

Risk classification

At the Group exposures with objective evidence of impairment are divided into three categories: exposures with low, high and full risk. The latter two risk categories consist of defaulted customers.

Exposures with low risk are exposures for which it is assessed more probable that the exposure will again become sound, while exposures with high and full risk (defaulted customers) are exposures for which it is assessed more probable that the exposure will result in losses and/or forced sale of assets provided as security to the Group or other creditors.

The Group's definition of default is defined as customers with a high or full risk (unlikely to pay) and customers past due more than 90 days on payment of contractual interest and instalments. The definition of default is based on the requirements set forth in Article 178 of the EU Regulation No. 575/2013. For instance, customers are considered associated with high or full risk (defaulted customers) in the event of bankruptcy, restructuring, debt rescheduling, indication of current or expected future challenges establishing balance between income and expenditure, etc. The principles and the definitions of the risk classification have been applied for many years and are assessed to be a well-defined and robust element in the Group's risk management practice.

The classification of risk is monitored continuously by account managers and/or credit specialists and is reviewed at least once a year for solid accounts and at least twice a year for fragile accounts. In addition, automated monitoring of objective signs of danger is carried out and on an ongoing basis reported to account managers and/or credit specialists with a view to a review of the risk classification. For customers with limited financial insight, the objective signs of danger are applied directly in the risk classification.

The same requirement as to being updated applies to changes of the risk classification in the event of deterioration and improvement. This ensures a high level of assurance that the Group's statement of indication of impairment is true and fair, and that the solvency requirement has not been determined on an imprudent basis.

There is close correlation between the Group's risk classification principles and credit management in the business, reflected, among other things, in the credit policy and credit-related business procedures. Depending on the customer's risk classification, for instance requirements of frequency of credit follow-up, requirements of degree of collateral and requirements of pricing are made. The principles are generally applicable to the entire Group and apply to all categories of loans and customer segments.

There are only minor differences between the Group's application of the default definition, the accounting definition of credit-impaired loans (stage 3), and the definition of non-performing. As the Group has aligned the entry criteria for default, stage 3 and nonperforming, only the different exit criteria and quarantine periods associated with the individual risk classification concepts constitute the difference.

The accounting treatment of loans and advances reflects very much the current financial assessments of customers' circumstances with a view to a true and fair estimation of the risk of loss in the financial report, while as a precautionary measure quarantine periods are used for default and non-performing in the capital statement.

50 Credit risk, cont.

Credit exposure

Credit exposures are quantified by means of Exposure at Default(EAD). EAD reflects the exposure at default in the event of the customer defaulting in the course of the next twelve months. A customer's overall EAD depends on customer-specific factors and the specific products held by the customer. For most product types, EAD is calculated on the basis of statistical models, while a few product types are based on expert models.

For loans with a fixed principal, the only element of uncertainty in the determination of EAD is the time until possible default. Uncertainty is higher, however, for credit facilities under which the customer may draw up to a maximum. In those cases,the amount drawn by the customer at the time of loss is decisive. This can be modelled by means of customer-specific factors and the circumstances surrounding the exposure.

Guarantees and credit commitments are special products inasmuch as a certain event must take place before they are utilised. It is therefore material to assess the probability and the extent of utilisation of the product in the event of the customer defaulting within the next twelve months. In this regard, the EAD parameters are based mainly on expert assessments as the Group has recorded very few default events over time, so the available data are too meagre for statistical modelling as such. In respect of guarantees, there is a sufficient body of data for statistical modelling.

In respect of financial instruments, EAD is measured according to the market-value method for regulatory calculation, while for internal management purposes, the more advanced EPE method is used.

Collateral

As a main rule, customers are required to provide full or partial collateral for their commitments with a view to limiting the credit risk and ensuring an adequate balance between risk and earnings. The Group's mortgage loans are always secured by mortgages on immovable property, and also in a large number of cases, guarantees are provided by third parties in connection with cooperation with other financial institutions. In connection with loans for social housing, guarantees are provided by municipalities and the state.

Collateral received is a main element of the Group's assessment of Loss Given Default (LGD). LGD is the part of the Group's total exposure to a customer which the Group expects to lose in the event the customer defaults within the next twelve months. A customer's LGD depends on specific factors, including the customer's commitment and the collateral provided. Overall, LGD also depends on Jyske Bank's ability to collect receivables and liquidate collateral.

The models relating to real and personal property and vehicles include on-going updating of the collateral value, taking into account, among other things, market-related changes in value, ranking as well as wear and tear. The on-going updating of the values of real property will also ensure compliance with the requirements relating to the monitoring of LTV limits of the SDO loans according to the rules on possible, further supplementary capital.

The calculation of impairment charges and solvency requirement uses LGD estimates which reflect the Group's expected loss rates. The loss levels for impairment purposes have been calibrated for the current expectations of loss given default, while LGD for solvency purposes have been calibrated for the period at the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s.

Loan impairment charges and provisions for guarantees

The Group recognises loan impairment charges and provisions for guarantees already as of the initial recognition. All loans are segmented into four stages, depending on the credit-impairment of the individual loans relative to the initial recognition:

  • Stage 1: Loans with no significant increase in credit risk.
  • Stage 2: Loans with significant increase in credit risk.
  • Stage 3: Credit-impaired loans.
  • Loans that were credit-impaired at first recognition.

On an on-going basis, it is secured that the credit rating and the risk classification are true and fair, including whether objective evidence of impairment has been established for the Group's customers. Where easier conditions have been granted to customers with financial problems, this will be regarded as individual objective evidence of impairment.

In the Group, all loans are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment exists if one or more of the following events have occurred:

  • The borrower is facing considerable financial difficulties.
  • The borrower is in serious breach of contract, for instance by failing to observe its liability to pay instalments and interest rates.
  • The borrower is granted easier terms that would not be considered if the borrower was not facing financial difficulties.
  • The borrower will go bankrupt or undergo some other financial restructuring.

Loans that were credit-impaired at first recognition are reported under this category until the loan has been repaid regardless that the credit risk since the first recognition has improved.

53 Market risk

Jyske Bank assumes market risk as a result of position-taking in the financial markets and general banking and mortgage banking operations. The measurement of market risk includes all products which involve interest rate, currency, equity or commodity risk. Certain financial instruments include elements of credit risk. This type of credit risk is managed and monitored in parallel with market risk. Every risk type has its own characteristics and is managed and monitored by means of individual risk measurements as well as through the Group's Value-at-Risk (VaR) model. Value at Risk expresses the maximum risk of loss over a period based on historical price and correlation developments of individual business types.

ESG risk

The assessment of ESG issues and risks is an integrated part of Jyske Bank's investment decisions and is comprised by Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility Policy. The majority of Jyske Bank's investment portfolio consists of asset classes such as mortgage bonds for which the ESG risks involved are assessed as being very low. In connection with investment in other asset classes such as corporate and mortgage bonds the individual investment is assessed according to Jyske Bank's policies and guidelines.

Sensitivity analyses

Jyske Bank extensively holds offsetting positions across markets. The worst-case scenario is one where the prices of all long (positive) positions decline, while the prices of short (negative) positions increase. A sensitivity analysis of the balance sheet at the end of the period is shown in the table below, from which the earnings impact from the stated negative development in prices and rates for the Group appears. The sensitivity analyses are based on 'other things being equal' observations and do not take into account changes in the balance sheet due to changes in the market development.

The Group's sensitivity to interest rate changes increased in 2023. The sensitivity of the balance of demand deposits increased on a whole due to expectations of an improvement of net interest rates in step with an increase in market rates. The Group has in step with the interest rate increases increased its hedging of the earnings risk in 2023.

Equity risk A is put at 10% of net equity exposure, net exposure being calculated as positive exposure less negative exposure. Equity risk A is therefore an indication of the loss/gain in the event of a 10% change in global equity prices.

Equity risk B is put at 10% of the numerical equity exposure. This risk measurement thus expresses the gross exposure, as it shows the loss at a 10% negative price change on total positive exposure and a simultaneous 10% positive price change on total negative exposure.

Besides equity risks A and B, the Group applies limits to individual exposures to shares with the objective of limiting concentration risk. There is also a limit to the proportion of Jyske Bank shares held.

58 Hedge accounting, cont.

Interest rate exposure

Jyske Bank applies the rules for hedge accounting of fair value for certain fixed-rate issued bonds at amortised cost, subordinated debt and debt to credit institutions. The purpose is to avoid asymmetric fluctuations in the financial statements as both the hedging instruments as well as the hedged items will then be adjusted to market value in the income statement in the event of changes to the interest rate level. The hedging instruments used are interest rate swaps, which are used for hedging against changes in the interest rate level. The interest rate is the only material element of risk that is hedged in the hedged items, and not credit margins or similar.

For each secured bond issued, subordinated debt or debt to credit institutions, an interest rate swap is entered into with the same reference rate, same time to maturity and same nominal amount, and therefore the hedging relationship is 1:1. The fixed interest rate on the hedged items is hedged directly on the fixed rate of the hedging instruments, which are swapped into a floating 3- to 6-month EURIBOR rate, which is included in the bank's normal risk management. The carrying amount of the hedging instruments is recognised in the balance sheet under the item "Other assets" in the event of a positive fair value and under the item "Other liabilities" in the event of a negative fair value.

The hedge effectiveness is determined by comparing the interest element of the total fair value of the hedging instruments with the interest element of the total fair value of the hedged items. Moreover, the hedge effectiveness is calculated each month and each quarter for hedging instruments against the hedged items for the period's gain/loss on the element of interest of the fair value.

The current portfolio of hedged items will mature over the decade with the last transaction in 2029. There is an even distribution of major maturities over the years 2026-2029 (totalling approx. DKK 18.7bn) with an average run-off of approx. DKK 4.7bn a year.

A minor degree of inefficiency between the hedged items and the hedging instruments is due to the fact that costs from the issue of hedged items are accrued over the term to maturity where opposite effects are not recognised on the hedging instruments. In addition, inefficiency may occur when the recognised carrying amounts are very low. The hedge ineffectiveness recognised in the profit amounted to DKK 20m (2022: DKK 3m) as the loss for the year on hedging instruments amounted to DKK 479m (2022: DKK 406m) and the profit/loss for the year on hedged items at amortised cost was DKK 499m (2022: DKK 409m).

IBOR reform

IBOR rates are quoted in the interbank market for unsecured loans, which since the financial crisis has become an illiquid market where unsecured fixed-term loans and advances are actually not granted. IBOR rates are therefore often based on estimates. This is one of the reasons behind the global reform of the use of interest rate benchmarks, including the IBOR transition or the IBOR reform. In the EU, the EU Benchmark Regulation (EU BMR) forms the basis of the IBOR reform.

IBOR rates are used generally to determine cash flows in both derivatives agreements, floating-rate consumer and corporate loans as well as mortgage loans. In its entirety, the IBOR reform has the aim that derivatives and loan agreements to a higher degree are to be based on new alternative risk-free reference rates (RFR) instead of the current IBOR rates.

The new RFR rates are based on overnight transactions in the interbank market and are therefore, contrary to IBOR rates, not based on estimates, for derivatives transactions, the ISDA has published new definitions of fallback rates to replace the current IBOR rates if they are discontinued. Fallback rates are published by Bloomberg and are calculated as accumulated RFR rates plus a fixed credit spread. Among other things, the rates will be retrospective rather than forward-looking.

EURIBOR and scandi IBORs (CIBOR, STIBOR and NIBOR) are not expected to be discontinued for some time to come, but instead they have been reformed into a new and BMR-compliant version. Also, robust fallbacks for EURIBOR, STIBOR and NIBOR have been prepared based on the RFR rate in the relevant currency. In DKK, the transaction-based RFR rate, DESTR, was published for the first time on 4 April 2022 based on transactions as of 1 April 2022. In November 2022, ISDA defined fallback for CIBOR for derivative products. This follows the method for EURIBOR, STIBOR and NIBOR and is hence based on DESTR plus a spread.

Jyske Bank has endorsed the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol and the ISDA 2018 Benchmarks Supplement Protocol, which will ensure robust fallback mechanisms when the LIBOR rates are discontinued. With reference to these, Jyske Bank's non-cleared USD LI-BOR-based derivatives transactions passed to refer to RFR-based fallback rates with effect as from 1 July 2023 when the publication of USD LIBOR rates was discontinued. A similar transition of cleared USD LIBOR derivatives transactions was implemented in May 2023. Consequently, Jyske Bank does not have any commitments based on USD LIBOR.

The table on page 152 shows the distribution of the hedging instruments according to currentreference rates, where Jyske Bank is primarily in EURIBOR. The majority of the hedging instruments' nominal value is also EURIBOR, where the timing of these are mainly maturities of 1 - 5 years

59 Derivatives

Both its customers and the Group use derivatives to hedge against and manage market risk. Market risk on derivatives is included in the Group's measurement of market risk. Credit risk in connection with derivatives is calculated for each counterparty and is included in Jyske Bank's overall credit risk management. Subject to specific bilateral agreement, netting of the credit risk associated with derivatives is undertaken for each counterparty.

60 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk occurs due to funding mismatch in the balance sheet. The Group's liquidity risk can primarily be attributed to its bank lending activities as loans and advances have a longer contractual duration than its average funding sources. Liquidity risks at Jyske Realkredit are limited due to compliance with the balance principle for SDO issues as set out in the mortgage legislation. Note 17 states the remaining time to maturity for a number of assets and liabilities.

Objective and overall setup

The Supervisory Board determines the liquidity profile expressed as the balance between the risk level and the Group's costs of managing liquidity risk. The risk levels are re-assessed on an on-going basis in consideration of the current market-related and economic conditions in Denmark and the financial sector.

The overall development in lending and deposits in the Danish banking sector, the rating agencies' assessment of the Group's liquidity and funding risks as well as changes in statutory requirements will of course cause Jyske Bank to re-assess which risk levels can be deemed satisfactory.

Jyske Bank's liquidity management must ensure adequate short- and long-term liquidity so the Group can in due time honour its payment obligations by having reasonable funding costs. This is ensured through the following objectives and policies:

    1. A strong and stable deposit base securing stability in the long-term financing of the Group's lending activities.
    1. Continued high credit ratings by international rating agencies.
    1. Permanent access to international capital markets, hence achieving access to a diversified and professional funding base.
    1. Maintaining a substantial highly liquid liquidity buffer reconciled to the run-off profile of the capital-market financing. The liquidity buffer ensures that Jyske Bank can withstand the effect of several adverse liquidity scenarios.

Organisation, management and monitoring

The Supervisory Board has adopted a liquidity policy with relevant liquidity instructions, which among other things defines specific critical time horizons for the Group during various adverse stress scenarios. Other key ratios include an internal target for LCR, NSFR, requirements for the Group's liquidity buffer and the ratio between bank loans and bank deposits. On the basis of the general limits, the Executive Board has delegated specific operational limits to the operationally responsible officers at Jyske Bank, who on a daily basis follow and manage the Group's liquidity in line with limits and liquidity policies.

Jyske Realkredit is subject to liquidity-related restrictions in respect of investment profile in the securities portfolio and money-market placements outside the Group to ensure that transactions at Jyske Realkredit are in line with statutory requirements as well as internal guidelines at Jyske Realkredit and at Group level.

Liquidity positions are monitored daily by Market Risk & Models for observance of the delegated limits. Liquidity positions that exceed the authorised limits are reported immediately according to the business procedure relating to market risks.

Short-term liquidity management

Short-term operational liquidity is managed by Jyske Markets, which is active in the international money markets as a trader in all major currencies and related derivatives and as a market-maker in the Nordic interbank money markets. Short-term funding in these markets form part of the Group's overall financial structure and is hence integrated in the strategic liquidity management.

Strategic liquidity management

Strategic liquidity management is embedded in Group Treasury. This management is based on various balance sheet and financingrelated targets and statements of the Group's liquidity position under various stress scenarios.

Under the stress scenarios applied, payments from the asset side of the liquidity balance sheet are grouped in order of liquidity, whereas payments from the financial liabilities side are grouped according to expected run-off risk in various scenarios. The analyses are based on the contractual maturity of each individual payment, but they make allowance for the fact that the actual maturities of a large part of the balance sheet deviate from the contractual maturities. The analyses therefore apply scenario-specific expectations of customer behaviour in those cases where contractual maturities are not considered to give a true and fair view of the actual maturities of deposits or loans. In relevant stress scenarios, the liquidity buffer is used to cover negative cash flows.

Under the various stress scenarios, both a survival horizon and a horizon regarding compliance with the mandatory LCR requirement are determined. The survival horizon is defined as the horizon with which the liquidity buffer will suffice to honour due dates relating to financing. Group Treasury is responsible for ensuring that the Group can at all times meet the critical survival horizons in the three scenarios used in strategic management:

• Institution-specific liquidity scenario (scenario 1): The scenario is based on an isolated incident in the Group, which will shake the surrounding world's confidence. Also, the incident may result in the loss of customers. The scenario also entails that Jyske Bank's rating is downgraded by one notch. It is, among other things, assumed that the Group is entirely cut off from access to the capital markets defined as CP, interbank as well as to issues of senior debt and capital instrument. In addition, the Group is fast losing a significant part of the credit-sensitive customer deposits, and it is also facing the risk that the bank must provide additional collateral as a derivative counterparty. The target is a horizon of at least 24 months.

60 Liquidity risk, cont.

  • Capital market scenario (scenario 2): This scenario is, de facto, also a recession scenario. Following a long-lasting economic slowdown, banks are generally suffering from increasing credit losses and weak earnings. The property market is characterised by steep price declines. The surrounding world's confidence in the banking sector is seriously shaken, with the result that the capital market is frozen. The Group performs in line with the sector and avoids a downgrade on the part of the rating agencies. The Group is cut off from the capital markets defined as CP, interbank as well as issues of senior debt and capital instrument. On the other hand, deposits with Jyske Bank are only affected to a modest degree. A decline in property prices totalling 20% over two years may entail that Jyske Realkredit must provide higher collateral at the capital centres to meet the SDO requirement. Due to turmoil in the capital markets, the need for CSA collateral increases. Moreover, rising risk aversion in the market will have the result that the value of the liquidity reserve is lowered due to widening credit spreads. The target is a horizon of at least 18 months.
  • Combination scenario (scenario 3): This scenario is a combination of the two above ones; in the middle of a deep financial crisis, the Group is affected by a specific incident that undermines the confidence in the bank, see scenario 1. As the Group is affected by two incidents at the same time, the rating will be downgraded by two notches, which again adds to a negative liquidity flow. The outflow of the scenario is the union of scenario 1 and scenario 2. In addition, it must be assumed that a downgrade by two notches in a general market crisis will make it more difficult to find new derivative counterparties. It is therefore anticipated that it may be necessary for the Group to provide significant (and of a more permanent nature) collateral to new derivative counterparties. The target is a horizon of at least 9 months.

In addition to the targets for survival horizons, the ongoing Group Reporting also includes the calculated horizon for compliance with the NSFR and the LCR statutory requirements in the scenarios.

Liquidity contingency plan

The liquidity contingency plan comes into force if the Group can only meet the internally delegated limits at very high costs or is ultimately unable to do so within the critical horizons. The contingency plan establishes a wide range of possible actions to strengthen the Group's liquidity situation.

In 2023, Jyske Bank had overcollateralisation of internally delegated limits and powers.

The Group's liquidity buffer

The Jyske Bank Group's liquidity buffer is determined as assets that can be sold quickly or put up as collateral for loans, and such assets are therefore an efficient source of liquidity. The procurement of secured funding does not depend on Jyske Bank's creditworthiness, but solely on the quality of the assets that can be offered as collateral. Only assets that are not applied for the Group's daily operations are included. The measurement of the Group's liquidity buffer takes into account haircuts of the relevant assets.

Jyske Bank's securities portfolio is, in the internal liquidity management, divided into three groups according to liquidity ratio:

    1. Ultra liquid assets. Cash deposits placed with the Danish Central Bank or the ECB with intra-day liquidity effect according to the rules of the central banks.
    1. Very liquid assets. Bonds eligible for borrowing transactions in the Danish central bank or the ECB. The liquidity value of Danish government and mortgage bonds as well as covered bonds is determined at market value less the Danish central bank's specific haircuts on bonds in connection with borrowing. To this must be added European mortgage bonds and government bonds. The liquidity value of these is determined at market value less the ECB's specific haircuts in connection with borrowing. The internal statement of liquidity reserves includes own mortgage bonds and small bond series in line with other mortgage bonds (contrary to the LCR buffer).
    1. Non-eligible assets. Consist of other negotiable securities. The realisation period of such assets may vary considerably depending on the market – either in the form of sales or charging in the private repo market. Haircuts are determined at 25%. Securities in this group consist primarily of assets denominated in currencies other than DKK and EUR as well as securitization positions in the form of CLOs.

Additional information about liquidity risk is provided in the section 'Liquidity management' in the Management's review.

Asset encumbrance

Asset encumbrance is a natural and inevitable part of the Group's daily activities. A large asset encumbrance of the Group's assets will, however, entail structural subordination of the Group's unsecured creditors. To ensure that the Group at all times has access to unsecured funding, a policy has been established in the area to ensure that asset encumbrance is not extended to any inexpedient extent.

At Jyske Bank, the following types of asset encumbrance of material extent have been identified:

  • Issuance of SDOs.
  • Periodical short-term financing from Danmarks Nationalbank and the ECB.
  • Repo financing.
  • Derivatives and clearing activities.

Issuance of SDOs is the most important asset encumbrance of Jyske Realkredit A/S. Issuance of SDOs is a long-term and strategically important instrument to ensure stable and attractive funding.

The Group does not wish to be structurally dependent on funding of its activities from central banks, and the liquidity management is planned in such a way that private funding can be obtained in most cases. On the other hand, short-term loans cannot be ruled out in the event of major unexpected shifts in liquidity and the use of central banks is considered a natural last resort.

Participation in the repo market for institutional customers and other financial institutions forms an integral part of the business model of Jyske Markets. It is the policy that such repo transactions are covered by collateral agreements (CSA) so the Group does not assume credit risk through such transactions. Repo transactions are only carried out for very liquid assets. Also, repo transactions are included as a natural element of the management of the Group's liquidity buffer. Even though repo transactions form an important element in Jyske Markets, these can fairly quickly be scaled up or down.

Derivatives and clearing activities involve asset encumbrance via agreements on provision of financial collateral. The Group strives to ensure that collateral is primarily received and given through cash but also includes provision of collateral in the form of bonds.

61 Operational risk

The Group is exposed to potential losses as a result of operational risks, including inexpedient processes, human errors, IT errors as well as fraud. Operational risk relates to all internal processes and can therefore not be eliminated.

The Group monitors and actively manages operational risk to reduce the risk of operational events resulting in material loss and damage to the Group's reputation.

Objective and overall setup

Jyske Bank's Supervisory Board sets out a policy for operational risk, which states the framework for identification, assessment, monitoring and management of the operational risk as well as the Supervisory Board's risk targets for the area.

The purpose of the policy is to keep operational risks at an acceptable level in respect of the Group's overall objectives and the cost associated with reducing the risks. Therefore, the Supervisory Board has laid down a number of principles for the set-up and management of the Group where, among other things, attention must be paid to sufficient resources, IT support of material work processes, due separation of functions as well as stable development and operational processes.

Risks deriving from environmental, social and governance issues (ESG risks) which are of a non-financial nature will be managed in accordance with the guidelines of the Supervisory Board's policy for operational risk. Hence, the management of ESG risks is integrated in the overall set-up for operational risk management in the Group.

Management and monitoring

Developments in operational risk are monitored to ensure the best possible basis for risk management. Monitoring is based on continuous dialogue with management to ensure that all the material operational risks of the Group are identified, analysed and anchored in the Group's risk register. Risk scenarios, risk exposure and control environment are evaluated annually in cooperation with the business units.

In addition to the monitoring of potential risks, registration takes place in the Group of all operational errors or incidents that caused losses or gains in excess of DKK 5,000. Each registration includes information about the incident, for instance about product, work process and cause of error. Data are used for analysis and reporting with a view to optimising processes and reducing future losses.

The Executive Board and the relevant business unit directors are in charge of operational risk management. This management is an integral part of daily operations through business procedures and controls established with the object of securing the best possible processing environment. On the basis of risk analyses and regular reporting of the Group's operational risks, management considers the Group's risk exposure on an ongoing basis and decides whether to introduce initiatives to reduce operational risks.

Every quarter, the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board receive a comprehensive report that describes the development of the Group's operational risks accompanied by error statistics from the error registry. Non-compliance with established risk targets will also be reported.

No income from variable lease payments for finance leasing is included in the measurement of the net investment.

No variable lease payments from operating lease depend on an index or an interest rate.

As was the case in previous years, the main activity was object financing, which primarily includes capital investment in plant and equipment/movable property as well as certain loan purposes and secondarily administration and financing tasks for third parties relating to such investments, including finance arrangements under a third party's own brand.

Financing and leasing are primarily offered to Danish and Swedish personal customers, companies registered in Denmark and foreign private individuals or companies against commitment provided by a Danish company.

In addition, there are non-guaranteed residual values related to operating leased assets that are not included in the lessee's minimum lease payments.

Operating leased assets consist mainly of vehicles.

Leased assets include repossessed assets totalling DKK 151m (2022: DKK 104m). It is expected that the assets will be realised to new customers or, alternatively, sold within the next 12 months.

Description of risks and uncertainty relating to estimation of residual values

The Group has assumed risks relating to the residual value of its holding of operating lease agreements.

The measurement of the Group's property, plant and equipment relating to operating lease agreements is subject to some uncertainty, which can be attributed to a number of external market effects as well as the Group's own estimates of future circumstances. This is in particular related to the expected cash flows from the lease agreements in connection with the assets, and in particular cash flows from the subsequent sale of the assets and the circumstances related to this.

The accounting residual values are set at the market value at which the object is expected to have at the expiry of the agreement. The actual market value is, however, only finally known at the time of sale, and therefore, to a great extent, the establishment of residual values relies on professional estimates based on experience, and market trends. Sales prices of the objects are strongly affected by the supply / demand situation in the Danish and European car market, including industry trends as regards fuel preferences, bodywork, and level of equipment.

In addition, the expected net sales price is affected by prepayment patterns for the Group's private lease agreements in Denmark, as expectations of these contribute to deciding the expected time of sale. Moreover, the net sales price is also affected by the rate of turnover measured from the time of the return of the object to the sale and possibly other future income as well as expenses relating to the realisation/contract expiry.

Risk management strategy

The Group monitors continuously whether the established residual values of the contracts in progress match the estimated realisation price, and whether other circumstances also indicate indication of impairment. This takes place in close connection with the ongoing pricing of new campaigns, and whether the residual values established for running campaigns are still appropriate and correct.

The above task has been assigned dedicated employee and management resources and also IT applications that assists in the ongoing monitoring of the picture of risk.

2023 - Acquisition of PFA Bank A/S

On 1 October 2023, Jyske Bank acquired PFA Bank A/S (hereinafter referred to as "PFA Bank"). As part of the transaction, an agreement was entered into with Investeringsforeningen PFA Invest on the management and portfolio management of the customers' funds.

PFA Bank was established in 2013 and offers holistic and investment advisory services with respect to investment products. The transaction comprised approx. 10,000 personal customers and private banking customers, deposits worth DKK 0.7bn and assets under management totalling DKK 16.1bn consisting of DKK 13.5bn invested in PFA Invest through PFA Bank and other banks and DKK 2.6bn invested in PFA Invest through PFA Pension's "Du investerer" (You invest). The acquisition will strengthen Jyske Bank's business volume within asset management and wealth management advice and will result in minor capital requirements for Jyske Bank.

The purchase price for PFA Bank amounts to DKK 247m which has been paid in cash. The purchase price is based on net assets acquired and an additional payment of DKK 120m.

Jyske Bank has paid transaction costs at DKK 5m associated with the acquisition to legal and financial advisers.

The net activities taken over will be part of the segment information for the Group under banking activities.

The preliminary distribution of the purchase price is shown in the table below:

The pre-acquisition balance sheet is based on the balance sheet of PFA Bank at 30 September 2023.

Fair value of customerrelations has been determined by means of the Multi-Period Excess Earnings method (MEEM). Customer relations are computed at the net present value of the expected future cash flows which are obtained through sale to the customers after deduction of a reasonable return on all other assets which contribute to generating the relevant cash flows. The value of the intangible asset has been computed at DKK 120m. Customer relations will be capitalised and amortised over 7 years.

For the period since the acquisition, PFA Bank has contributed to the Group's net interest and fee income with DKK 16m and to the pre-tax profit with DKK -12m.

The Group's net interest and fee income for 2023, computed as if PFA Bank was taken over on 1 January 2023, was DKK 83m and the pre-tax profit was DKK -2m.

2022 - Acquisition of activities from Svenska Handelsbanken

On 1 December 2022, Jyske Bank acquired Svenska Handelsbanken's Danish activities (Handelsbanken Denmark).

Handelsbanken Denmark was established in 1992 and grew subsequently organically through the acquisition of Midtbank and Lokalbanken i Nordsjælland. Handelsbanken Denmark carries out nationwide banking operations within the personal customer as well as the corporate customer segment. The transaction comprises more than 130,000 customers, bank loans and advances of DKK 65.1bn and deposits of DKK 35.4bn. Add to this 42 locations and approx. 600 employees.

The acquisition of Handelsbanken will strengthen Jyske Bank's market position, and its business volume will increase significantly. The greater scale will also support the possibilities of developing and offering attractive products and services to Jyske Bank's present and future customers.

The purchase price for Handelsbanken Denmark amounts to DKK 34.4bn which has been paid in cash. The purchase price is based on net assets acquired and a goodwill payment of DKK 3.0bn.

Jyske Bank has paid transaction costs of DKK 60m associated with the acquisition to legal and financial advisers. The amount is included in the profit and loss account under expenses for staff and administrative expenses.

The activities acquired are included in segment information for the Group under Banking, Mortgage and Leasing activities.

After recognition of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at fair value, goodwill associated with the acquisition has been computed at DKK 2,841m.

2022 - Acquisition of activities from Svenska Handelsbanken, cont.

The pre-acquisition balance sheet is based on the balance of Handelsbanken Denmark at 30 November 2022. Fair value of loans and advances is based on an assessment of the market value of the acquired portfolio. The gross value of loans and advances before fair value adjustment amounted to DKK 67.6bn at the date of acquisition. Fair value adjustment of loans and advances relating to interest rate risk amounted to DKK -1.9bn and fair value adjustment of loans and advances relating to credit risk amounted to DKK -0.6bn, and total loans and advances after fair value adjustment amounted to DKK 65.1bn.

Fair value of customer relations has been determined by means of the Multi-Period Excess Earnings method (MEEM). Customer relations are computed at the net present value of the expected future cash flows which are obtained through sale to the customers after deduction of a reasonable return on all other assets which contribute to generating the relevant cash flows. The value of the intangible asset has been computed at DKK 489m. Customer relations will be capitalised and written off over 10 years.

Goodwill and customer relations form part of banking activities at Jyske Bank whereas Jyske Realkredit and Jyske Finans have taken over loans and advances of DKK 23.3bn and DKK 0.2bn.

For the period since the acquisition, Handelsbanken Denmark has contributed to the Group's net interest and fee income with DKK 173m and to the pre-tax profit with DKK -46m. The impact is, among other things, affected by one-offs involved in the integration as well as stage-1 loan impairment charges.

It is not practically possible to make a reliable calculation of the Group's net interest and fee income and pre-tax profit for 2022, computed as if Handelsbanken Denmark was taken over on 1 January 2022.

68 Accounting Policies

General

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The financial statements of the parent company have been presented in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act, including the Danish Executive Order on Financial Reports for Credit Institutions, Stockbrokers, etc. Furthermore, the Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the Danish disclosure requirements for annual reports of listed financial institutions.

Additional Danish reporting requirements for the consolidated financial statements are laid down in the executive order on IFRS relating to financial institutions in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act and in the rules laid down by Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S, and for the Parent's financial statements in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act and in the rules laid down by Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S.

The rules applying to recognition and measurement at the Parent are consistent with IFRS.

Figures in the Annual Report are in Danish kroner, rounded to the nearest million in Danish kroner.

Changes to accounting policies, new and changed standards as well as interpretation

With effect as of 1 January 2023, Jyske Bank has implemented the following new or amended standards and interpretation:

  • IAS 1 "Presentation of annual financial statements" and Practice Statement 2 "Assessment of materiality" relating to information about accounting policies.
  • IAS 12 "Income taxes" relating to deferred tax concerning assets and liabilities deriving from one single transaction as well as "Pillar II" (international tax reform).
  • IAS 8 "Accounting policies, amendment to accounting estimates and errors" concerning definition of accounting estimates.

The implementation has not had any material effect on the accounting policies and/or the consolidated financial statements, including the comparative figures, and are also not expected to impact present or future periods significantly.

Accounting standards and interpretation that have not taken effect

At the time of publication of this Financial Report, new or amended standards and interpretation relating to:

  • IAS 1 (presentation of liabilities)
  • IFRS 16 (sale and lease-back)
  • IAS 7 and IFRS 7 (trade payables)
  • IAS 21 (effect from changes to currency rates)

Not yet taken effect and/or been approved in the EU for the financial year which began on 1 January 2023.

It is not expected, that the above will affect Jyske Bank's financial reporting to any material degree.

Except for the above, accounting policies remain unchanged.

Recognition and measurement

At the initial recognition, assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, and for assets and liabilities that are subsequently measured at amortised cost, directly attributable transaction costs paid will be added, and directly attributable transaction costs received will be deducted. Subsequently, assets and liabilities are measured as described for each item below.

Recognition and measurement take into account gains, losses and risks that occurred prior to the presentation date of the Annual

Report and that confirm or disprove conditions which existed on the balance sheet date.

Income is recognised in the income statement as earned. Incurred expenses that relate directly to the generation of the year's earnings are recognised in the income statement.

Financial assets are recognised at the date of settlement, and the recognition ceases when the right to receive or deliver cash flows from the financial asset has expired, or if the financial asset has been transferred, and the Group has essentially transferred all risks and returns associated with the ownership.

Accounting estimates

Measurement of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities requires the management's estimate of the influence of future events on the value of such assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date. Estimates of material importance to the presentation of the accounts are, among other things, based on:

  • Loans, including loan impairment charges.
  • Fair value of financial instruments.
  • Provisions, including provisions for defined benefit liabilities, losses on guarantees, lawsuits.
  • Acquisitions, including statement of acquired assets and liabilities at fair value as well as measurement of goodwill.

The estimates are based on assumptions which management finds reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain. Besides, the Group is subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause results to differ from those estimates. Key assumptions and any specific risks to which the Group is exposed are stated in the Management's Review and the notes.

Loan impairment charges and provisions for guarantees are subject to significant estimates as regards the quantification of the risk that future payments may not all be received. Where it is established that not all future payments will be received, the determination of the extent of anticipated payments, including specification of scenarios, risk classification, realisable values of security provided and anticipated dividend payments by estates, will also be subject to significant estimates. The division of loans and advances, etc. into stages 1, 2 or 3 is subject to significant estimates, which is decisive when determining whether a loss expected in the 12-month term or an expected loss in the entire term of the loan is to be recognised. In a number of instances, it is necessary to supplement the model-calculated impairment charges in stages 1, 2 and 3 with a management's estimate.

This will typically be the case when social events are assessed to affect the level of impairment, yet these events have not yet been picked up by the Group's credit models. The war in Ukraine and high inflation have increased uncertainty involved in the estimates.

The measurement of the fair value of financial instruments is subject to significant estimates of the fair value in a non-active market. Fair value is recognised on the basis of observable market data and recognised value assessment techniques, which include discounted cash flow models and models for the pricing of options. Input variables include observable market data, including non-listed yield curves, exchange rates and volatility curves. Unlisted shares are recognised at an estimated fair value on the basis of the available budget and accounting figures of the issuer in question or at management's best estimate.

Provisions for defined benefit pension plans, etc. are subject to significant estimates with regard to the determination of future employee turnover, discount rate, the rate of wage and salary increase, and the return on associated assets. Provisions for pension liabilities, etc. are based on actuary calculations and estimates. Moreover, provisions for losses on guarantees are subject the uncertainty of assessing the extent to which guarantees may be called upon as a consequence of the financial collapse ofthe guarantee applicant. The calculation of other provisions is subject to significant estimates with regard to the determination of the probability and to which extent a possible obligating event may and will result in a future drain on Jyske Bank's economic resources.

In case of acquisitions, material estimates are associated with the calculation of the fair value of the acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, including in particular determination of the credit risk of acquired loans and advances. At recognition of customer relations, measured in connection with a recognised valuation method and based on future earnings and retention rate, presumptions and assumptions are also included which give rise to uncertainty relating to recognition and measurement. Goodwill is tested for impairment charges on an annual basis or in case of signs of impairment. The impairment test uses assessments when determining estimates of future cash flows, and in addition uncertainty when determining discount rate and market development.

Hedge accounting

The Group hedges the interest rate risk on a portfolio of liabilities. The Group applies the rules on hedge accounting as laid down in IAS 39.

Subsequent value adjustments of derivatives that are classified as and meet the requirements for hedging the fair value of a recognised fixed-rate liability are recognised in the income statement together with the value adjustment of the hedged liability, dependent of interest rate levels. If the criteria for hedging are no longer met, the accumulated valuation of the hedged item is amortised over the remaining maturity period.

The consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements cover the financial statements for Jyske Bank A/S and the companies controlled by Jyske Bank A/S. Control is achieved when Jyske Bank A/S

  • has control of another company,
  • has the possibility of or the has the right to a variable return on its investment, and
  • is able to use its control to obtain such return.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by adding up the financial statements of Jyske Bank A/S and those of its subsidiaries, which were prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Intra-group credit and debit items, intra-group share holdings, commitments and guarantees have been eliminated.

Intra-group transactions

Intra-group transactions are entered into on an arm's length basis or at cost.

Business combinations

Assets, including identifiable intangible assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured at fair value on the date of acquisition. A positive difference between the cost and the fair value of the identifiable net assets is recognised as goodwill. A negative difference between the cost and the fair value of the identifiable net assets is recognised as negative goodwill under Other operating income in the income statement.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of are recognised in the consolidated income statement at the time when the controlling interest is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the time when the controlling interest ceases to exist. Transaction costs are recognised in the income statement.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in currencies other than Danish kroner are translated at the official exchange rates on the day of the transactions. Unsettled monetary transactions in foreign currencies on the balance-sheet date are translated at the official exchange rates on the balance sheet date. For listed currencies, the published bid and offer prices from external suppliers will be applied.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities acquired in a foreign currency, which are not restated at fair value, are not subject to translation adjustments.

In connection with a non-monetary asset, the fair value of which exceeds that stated in the income statement, unrealised translation adjustments are recognised in the income statement.

Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the profit for the year, with the exception of exchange rate differences related to nonmonetary assets and liabilities, where changes in the fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Set-off

Assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legal right to offset the recognised amounts and also intends to net or realise the asset and settle the liability at the same time.

Leasing contracts

A leased asset and a lease liability is recognised in the balance sheet when, according to a lease agreement entered into, a leased asset is made available to the Group for a lease period, and when the Group has the right of practically all the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to decide on the use of this.

Lease liabilities are measured at the initial recognition at the net present value of the future leasing payments discounted at an alternative interest rate, which will amount to the cost relating externally financing of a corresponding asset. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost in accordance with the effective interest method. The lease liability is recalculated when changes take place in the underlying contractual cash flows, if changes take place in the estimate of the residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it is reasonably certain that an option to purchase, extend or cancel is expected to be utilised.

At initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at cost, which corresponds to the value of the lease liability adjusted for prepaid leasing payments plus directly related costs. Subsequently, the leased asset is measured at cost less accumulated impairment and depreciation. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the leasing period or the useful life of the leased asset. The depreciation is recognised in the income statement by the straight-line method. Leased assets are adjusted for changes in the lease liability due to changes in the terms and conditions of the lease agreement or changes in the cash flows of the contract.

Leased assets are depreciated by the straight-line method over the expected lease period, which amounts to:

Properties 5-10 years
Cars 3-5 years

The leased asset and the lease liability are stated in the notes.

The Group does not recognise short-term lease agreements in the balance sheet. Instead lease payments relating to such lease agreements are recognised in the income statement by the straight-line method.

Assets that are leased at financial lease terms and conditions are recognised, measured and presented as loans and advances.

Hence assets that are leased at operating lease terms and conditions are recognised and presented like the Group's other assets of a similar type. Income from operating lease agreements is recognised by the straight-line method over the relevant leasing period under Other operating income.

Tax

Jyske Bank A/S is assessed for Danish tax purposes jointly with its Danish subsidiaries. Tax on the year's income is divided among the Danish enterprises according to the full costing method. Domestic corporation tax is paid in accordance with the Danish tax prepayment scheme.

Tax comprises calculated tax and any change in deferred tax as well as the readjustment of tax for previous years. Calculated tax is based on the year's taxable income. Deferred tax is recognised and measured in accordance with the balance-sheet liability method on the basis of the differences between the carrying amounts and tax values of assets and liabilities. Overall, deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the basis of temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is deemed probable that taxable income exists against which deductible temporary differences may be offset. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised where the temporary difference is due to goodwill.

Provisions are not made in the Balance Sheet for tax payable on the sale of an investment in subsidiaries where such an investment is not expected to be disposed of

within a short period of time, or where a sale is planned so that there is no tax liability.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates applicable during the financial year in which the liability is settled, or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, unless it is associated with items which are carried as expenses or income directly in other comprehensive income, in which case deferred tax is recognised in other comprehensive income as well. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where attributable to tax levied by the same tax authority, and where it is the intention of the Group to net its current tax assets and liabilities.

Financial guarantees

Financial guarantees are contracts according to which the Group must pay certain amounts to the holder of the guarantee as compensation for a loss incurred, because a certain debtor did not make a payment on time according to the terms and conditions of the debt instrument.

Financial guarantee obligations are the first time recognised at fair value, and the initial fair value is accrued over the lifetime of the guarantee. Subsequently, the guarantee obligation will be recognised at the higher one of the value on an accrual basis or the present value of expected payments when a payment under the guarantee has become likely.

For the method for provisions for losses on guarantees, please see loans at amortised cost. Provisions for losses on loan commitments and unutilised loan commitments are made according to the same method.

Balance sheet

According to IFRS 9, classification and measurement of financial assets are based on the business model for the financial assets and related contractual cash flows. In consequence of this, financial assets must be classified as one of the following categories:

Financial assets that are held to generate the contractual cash flows and where the contractual cash flows solely consist of interest and instalments on the outstanding amounts are measured after the time of the initial recognition at amortised cost. As a typical example, this measurement category comprises loans, advances and bonds included in an investment portfolio that is in general held to maturity.

Financial assets held in a mixed business model where financial assets are held both with a view to generating the contractual cash flows and returns on sales and where the contractual cash flows on the financial assets in the mixed business model solely consist of interest and instalments on the outstanding amount are measured after the time of the initial recognition at fair value through other comprehensive income. In connection with a subsequent sale, recirculation of the change in fair value will take place to the income statement. As a typical example, this measurement category comprises bonds included in the day-to-day liquidity management, unless they are used by a risk management system or an investment strategy based on fair values, cf. below.

Financial assets that do not belong under one of the above-mentioned business models or where the contractual cash flows do not solely consist of interest and instalments on the outstanding amounts are measured after the time of the initial recognition at fair value through the income statement. As a typical example, this measurement category comprises shares, derivatives and financial assets, which are otherwise included in the trading portfolio or in a risk management system or an investment strategy based on fair values and, on this basis, are included in the bank's internal management reporting. Moreover, financial assets can be measured at fair value through the income statement ifthe measurement according to the two above-mentioned business models results in a recognition or accounting mismatch.

Jyske Bank has no financial assets that fall under the measurement category with recognition of financial assets at fair value through Other comprehensive income. Instead, Jyske Bank's bond portfolio is measured at fair value through the income statement either because they are included in a trading portfolio, or because they are used by a risk management system or an investment strategy based on fair values and are, on this basis, included in the bank's internal management reporting, except for a holding of bonds that is held under a business model where the bonds will be measured at amortised cost.

Due from credit institutions and central banks

Initially, balances due from credit institutions and central banks are recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs less fees and commissions received which are directly associated with the amount due. Subsequently, balances due from banks and central banks are measured at amortised cost in accordance with the effective interest method, less impairment charges, cf. below.

Loans at fair value

Mortgage loans are recognised according to the trade date approach and classified as 'Loans at fair value'. Mortgage loans are measured at fair value on initial and subsequent recognition through the income statement. This takes place to eliminate financial inconsistency resulting from the purchase and sale of own issued bonds. Index-linked loans are measured on the basis of the index value at the end of the year. The fair value is generally measured at prices of the underlying issued bonds quoted on a recognised stock exchange. If such a market price is not available for the preceding 7 days, a calculated price based on the official market rate will be applied for determining the value.

If derivatives are part of the funding of the mortgage loans, the value of these will be integrated in the valuation of the loans.

The market value is reduced by the calculated impairment charge which for loans at fair value is measured according to the same principles that apply to impairments of loans at amortised cost. In connection with all loans and advances at initial recognition and all loans and advances without any significant increase in credit risk, a calculation of expected losses over the coming 12 months is made, while in connection with all loans and advances with a significant increase in credit risk, impairment charges corresponding to the expected losses over the remaining term are recognised. Please see the description of accounting policies for impairment charges under loans and advances at amortised cost.

Loans and advances at amortised cost

Initially, loans and advances are recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs, less fees and commission received which are directly associated with the granting of loans. Subsequently, loans and advances are measured at amortised cost in accordance with the effective interest method.

Stages for development of credit risk

In connection with all loans and advances, impairment charges are recognised according to IFRS 9. The impairment model is based on calculations of expected losses where the loans are segmented into four categories depending on the individual loan's credit impairment relative to the initial recognition:

    1. Loans with no significant increase in credit risk.
    1. Loans with significant increase in credit risk.
    1. Credit-impaired loans.
  • Loans that were credit-impaired at first recognition.

For loans in stage 1, impairment charges corresponding to the expected loss over the following 12 months are recognised, while for loans in stages 2 and 3, impairment charges corresponding to expected losses over the remaining life of the exposures are recognised. Loans that were credit-impaired at first recognition are, with respect to impairment charges, ranked in stages 1, 2, or 3 according to a principle corresponding to the one attributed to the loan on the balance sheet date, while the loan and the impairment are reported under the category "Loans that were credit-impaired at first recognition".

At the initial recognition, the individual loans are generally placed in stage 1, which means that impairment charges corresponding to the expected losses over the following 12 months are recognised.

Loans with a very low probability of default (PD below 0.2%) and without any other indications of significant increases in the credit risk are considered having a low credit risk and are placed in stage 1 regardless of the probability of default since the initial recognition.

Assessment of whether the credit risk has increased for individual loans and advances, the ranking of loans and advances into stages and the determination of expected losses take place on an on-going basis.

The ranking in the various stages will affect the calculation method, and it is determined, among other things, on the basis of the change in the probability of default (PD) over the expected remaining life of the loans. Loans and advances in stage 3 are considered credit-impaired and are classified with risk code 2 or 3, as, under the most likely scenario, a loss is expected.

The risk classification concepts are applied generally in the Group's risk reports, and there are only minor differences between the Group's accounting definition of credit-impaired loans (stage 3), the use of the default definition and the definition of non-performing.

As the Group has aligned the entry criteria for stage 3 default and non-performing, only the different exit criteria and quarantine periods associated with the individual risk classification concepts constitute the difference. The risk concepts of default and non-performing are used in the

Group's capital statement and in its reporting to the authorities.

For detailed definitions of default, credit deterioration and risk classifications applied, please see note 50, the section on risk classifications on page 146.

Assessment of significant increase in credit risk

In the event of a significant increase in credit risk, loans and advances will be transferred to stage 2. Assessment of whether any significant increase in credit risk has taken place since the initial recognition is based on the following circumstances:

    1. An increase in the PD for the expected remaining life of the financial asset by 100% and an increase in the 12-month PD of 0.5%-point when, at the initial recognition, the 12-month PD was below 1.0%.
    1. An increase in the PD for the expected remaining life of the financial asset by 100% or an increase in the 12-month PD of 2.0%-points when, at the initial recognition, the 12-month PD was 1.0% or above.
    1. Loans in arrears by 30 days or more.
    1. The risk classification of the customer, which among other things is based on an assessment of the customer's ability and will to honour his payment obligations, possible arrears and/or changes to the initial assumptions on which the customer relationship rests. For instance, the development of a customer's financial circumstances will be followed and assessed (income, assets/financial position, liquidity, leverage, any arrears, etc.) supplemented with monitoring of objective signs of danger.

Customers for which the credit risk has increased significantly and with a probability of default (PD above 5%) will be placed in the weak part of stage 2 together with loans and advances that have been classified with risk code 1 and with objective evidence of impairment. For loans and advances subject to objective evidence of impairment in stage 2, impairment charges will be calculated according to the principles applicable to loans and advances in stage 3.

If the Group's most likely scenario points to losses, the customer is considered credit-impaired and will be ranked in stage 3. Customers in stage 3 are typically characterised by being in considerable financial difficulties, by breach of contract or by probable bankruptcy. A customer is in considerable financial difficulties when, due to changes in its earnings, cash flow or capital/net assets, the most likely scenario assumes that the customer cannot meet its obligations to the Group. In addition, a customer may be in considerable financial difficulties if other negative information implies that the Group or other creditors must expect losses.

Hence, the Group's most important credit management tools are used directly in the segmentation and the determination of the expected future credit loss. Please see note 50 on risk classification, credit rating process and monitoring.

Statement of expected losses

The expected future loss is calculated on the basis ofthe probability of default (PD), the exposure at default (EAD) and the loss given default (LGD). These parameters rest on the Group's advanced IRB setup, which is based on the Group's experience of loss history and early repayment, among other things. These parameters are adjusted to IFRS 9 in a number of specific areas. The purpose of the adjustments is to ensure that the parameters reflect a current as well as true and fair picture that comprises available information and expectations of the future, including the Group's expectations of the real economy trends in GDP, unemployment, house prices, etc. Hence the parameters are adjusted to cover a longer time horizon.

The projection allows for customer-specific circumstances such as customer segment, credit rating and industry.

Advanced quantitative credit models are applied to all customers in stages 1 and 2 for which there is no evidence of credit impairment.

For most loans, the expected time to maturity is limited to the contractual time to maturity. However, for mortgage loans, allowances are made for expected early repayment. For revolving credit facilities, the expected remaining term is based on analyses of the term for credit-impaired customers. If a loan is secured in full in all scenarios, the impairment charge will generally be zero. This will typically be the case with exposures with a high overcollateralization and/or fixedvalue collaterals such as cash fixed properties.

The assessment of the indication of impairment for the weakest exposures in stages 2 and 3 is based on individual expert assessments of the probability-weighted expected loss. Expert assessments are made in sub-portfolios divided on Group units and relevant industry groups. In connection with the most important loans, an individual assessment of the scenarios is made, including definition of cash flows, security values and scenario probability. At the individual assessment, up to 13 scenarios are applied.

No significant changes were made to the impairment set-up during the financial year.

Write-offs

Loans are written off as a loss when there are no reasonable prospects of collecting the debt. Indications of this are, for instance bankruptcy and debt rescheduling. The Group still seeks to collect debts even though they are written off as losses.

Bonds at fair value

Bonds are recognised at fair value, which is the amount at which the bonds can be bought or sold in a transaction between independent parties. In an active market, the fair value is expressed in the form of a listed price. In a less active or inactive market, the fair value is determined on the basis of a value calculated by a model based on observable market data and recognised models, alternatively on the basis of the management's estimate corresponding to this.

Bonds at amortised cost

Bonds at amortised cost include investments that were acquired with the object of earning a return until maturity. They are measured initially at fair value corresponding to the sum paid plus directly attributable transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Impairment charges are made in the same way as for loans and advances at amortised cost. If impairment charges cannot be measured reliably, fair value in the form of an observed market price is chosen.

Repos and reverse repos

Securities sold under repurchase agreements (repos) remain in the balance sheet under securities, carry interest and are subject to value adjustment. Amounts received are recognised as balances due to or from credit institutions.

Securities bought under reverse repurchase agreements (reverse repos) are recognised as loans and advances or balances due from credit institutions at amortised cost, and the return is recognised under interest income.

Shares

Upon initial as well as subsequent recognition, shares are recognised at fair value, which is the amount at which the shares can be bought or sold in a transaction between independent parties.

In an active market, the fair value is expressed in the form of a listed price. In a less active or inactive market, the fair value is determined on the basis of a value calculated by a model-based on observable market data and recognised models, alternatively on the basis of the management's estimate corresponding to this.

The fair value of unlisted shares and other equity investments is calculated on the basis of available information about transactions, expected cash flows, etc. If a reliable fair value cannot be determined, shares will be recognised at cost less any impairment.

Investments in associated undertakings

An associate is an enterprise in which the Group holds a significant but not controlling interest, by participating in the company's financial and operational decision-making process, and which does not qualify as a subsidiary. Typically, significant interest is achieved when holding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.

Equity investments in associates are recognised and measured in the consolidated accounts and the accounts of the parent company according to the equity method. Accordingly, the equity investments are measured at the pro rata share of the associates' equity value calculated in accordance with the Group's accounting policies with deduction or addition of unrealised intra-group profits and losses, respectively, and with the addition of the carrying amount of goodwill.

The pro rata share of the associates' results after tax and elimination of unrealised intra-group profit and loss less write-down for impairment of goodwill is recognised in the income statement. The pro rata share of all transactions and events recognised in the equity of the relevant associate is recognised in Group's and parent company's other comprehensive income.

Equity investments in group enterprises

A group enterprise is an enterprise in which the Group holds a controlling interest, cf. the paragraph on the consolidated financial statements.

Investments in group enterprises are recognised in the parent company's financial statements according to the equity method. A positive difference between cost and the fair value of net assets at the time of acquisition of a group enterprise is recognised as goodwill under intangible assets.

Investments in joint ventures

A joint venture is a contractual relationship whereby the Group and other interested parties undertake a commercial activity of which they have joint control.

Investments in associates are recognised and measured in the consolidated accounts and the financial statements of the parent company according to the equity method, cf. the section on investments in associates.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets relate to the value of customer relations acquired in connection with acquisitions and goodwill and IT development costs.

Customer relations

The value of the acquired customer relations is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. The value of the acquired customer relations is depreciated over the estimated useful lives which do not exceed 7-10 years.

Goodwill

At initial recognition, goodwill is recognised in the balance sheet at cost. Subsequently, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment. Goodwill is not amortised. Goodwill is tested on an annual basis for indication of impairment and is written down to the recoverable amount in the income statement if the carrying amount is higher. The recoverable amount is calculated as the present value of the expected future net cash flow from the activity associated with goodwill. Determination of cash-flow generating units follows the management structure and internal financial management. Management assesses the lowest level for cash-flow generating units to which the carrying amount of goodwill can be allocated.

Goodwill write-off is not reversed.

IT development costs

IT development costs are recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is provided on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of maximum 3 years.

Sites and buildings Investment properties

Investment properties held for rental income and/or capital gain are recognised at fair value on the balance sheet date. Gains and losses attributable to changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in the result for the period during which they arise. Fair value is measured on the basis of the return method, where the measurement of fair value is carried out with the assistance of external experts.

Owner-occupied properties

Land and buildings for own use are recognised in the balance sheet at the restated value corresponding to the fair value on the date of the revaluation less subsequent depreciation and impairment. Revaluation is made at a frequency deemed adequate to ensure that the carrying amount is not materially different from the presumed fair value on the balance sheet date. A reduction in the carrying amount as a result of the revaluation of land and buildings is charged to the income statement to the extent that the amount exceeds revaluation reserves under equity attributable to past revaluation of the asset. Any increase in value at revaluation of land and buildings is included in other comprehensive income, unless the increase offsets an impairment charge made earlier for the same asset which was previously recognised as an expense.

The valuation of selected land and buildings is carried out with the assistance of external experts. At the regular valuation of land and buildings, the value of a building is recognised on the basis of the return method in accordance with generally accepted standards. The value of the building is recognised at cash value before interest and depreciation. The operating income from the property includes rental income less maintenance costs, administrative costs and other operating costs. The required rate of return on a property is determined to best reflect the transactions undertaken until the date of valuation, and allowances are made for the individual property's location and level of

maintenance as well as sales efforts within a reasonable time horizon. The required rate of return on property is discussed with local and national estate agents.

Initially, leased owner-occupied properties are recognised at the net present value of the lease liability inclusive of costs. Subsequently, leased owner-occupied properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortisation and impairment.

Once a year, spot checks are made of a number of properties with the assistance of an external appraiser.

The depreciation of revalued buildings is recognised in the income statement. Upon the subsequent sale of a revalued building, any relevant revaluation reserves are transferred to Retained earnings.

Owner-occupied properties are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets to the estimated residual value. Land is not depreciated. The following depreciation periods and residual values apply:

Buildings max. 50 years
Residual value of buildings max. 75%

Methods of depreciation, useful lives, residual values and indication of impairment are reviewed annually.

Other property, plant and equipment

Operating equipment, cars, tools and equipment and leasehold improvements are recognised at cost less accumulated impairment and depreciation. Depreciation and amortisation are provided on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of typically three years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lease term, yet not more than five years.

Methods of depreciation, useful lives, residual values and indication of impairment are reviewed annually. In the event of indications of impairment, depreciation is provided at the recoverable amount, which is the higher of that asset's value in use and its selling price.

Assets held temporarily with a view to sale

Assets held temporarily with a view to sale comprise properties acquired through foreclosure, equity investment and cars, intended for sale shortly, as a sale is considered very likely. The item also covers owner-occupied properties, subsidiaries and disposal groups of assets, intended for sale shortly, and where a sale is very likely.

Assets held temporarily with a view to sale are recognised at the lower amount of the carrying amount at the time of the classification as assets held temporarily or the fair value less sales costs. No depreciation is recognised on the assets from the time when they are classified as assets held temporarily.

Other assets

Other assets comprise assets not recognised under other asset items, including positive fair value of derivatives, assets in pooled deposits as well as interest and commission receivable, etc. Assets in pooled deposits are recognised at fair value.

Due to credit institutions and central banks

Balances due to credit institutions and central banks are recognised at fair value equal to payments received less directly attributable transaction costs incurred. Subsequently, the item is measured at amortised cost according to the effective interest method.

Deposits

Deposits comprise amounts received, including liabilities relating to genuine repos from counterparties who are not credit institutions or central banks. Deposits are recognised at fair value equal to payments received less directly attributable transaction costs incurred. Subsequently, deposits are measured at amortised cost according to the effective interest method.

Issued bonds at fair value

Issued mortgage bonds are recognised according to the settlement approach and measured at fair value through the income statement (inclusive of the fair value adjustment of own credit risk) on initial and subsequent recognition. This takes place to eliminate financial inconsistency resulting from the purchase and sale of own mortgage bonds. Recognition in the income statement is made to eliminate accounting symmetry. The fair value is generally measured at prices of the underlying issued mortgage bonds quoted on a recognised stock exchange. If such a market price is not available for the preceding 7 days, a calculated price based on the official market rate will be applied for determining the value.

Mortgage bonds drawn for redemption and repayable immediately after the financial year end are measured at par.

The portfolio of own mortgage bonds is deducted.

Issued bonds and subordinated debt at amortised cost

Issued bonds and subordinated debt are recognised at fair value equal to payments received less directly attributable transaction costs incurred. Subsequently, issued bonds and subordinated debt are measured at amortised cost according to the effective interest method. When the interest rate risk on fixed rate issued bonds and subordinated debt has been hedged efficiently through derivatives, the amortised cost is supplemented with the fair value of the hedged interest rate risk.

Liabilities in disposal group with a view to sale

Liabilities in disposal groups are recognised at fair value and comprise the liabilities that are closely linked to disposal groups of assets awaiting sale within a short period of time and where a sale is very likely.

Other liabilities

Other liabilities comprise liabilities not recognised under other items under equity and liabilities, including liabilities from finance leases with lessees, acceptance of long-term letters of credit, negative fair value of derivatives as well as interest and commission payable, etc.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, where resources embodying financial benefits are required to settle an obligation, and where a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

Provisions are measured as the best estimates of the cost of meeting liabilities on the balance sheet date. Provisions for debt expected to be payable later than 12 months after the balance sheet date are measured at present value, if of material importance, otherwise at cost.

Provisions for pension liabilities and the like are based on the actuarial present value of the expected benefit payments. The present value is calculated, among other things, on the basis of expected employee turnover, discount rate and rate of wage increase as well as the return on associated assets. The difference between the expected and the actual development in pension benefits will generate actuarial loss and gain which will be recognised under other comprehensive income.

For provisions for guarantees, loan commitments and unutilised loan commitments, reference is made to the section on financial guarantees and the section on loans and advances at amortised cost.

For provisions for deferred tax, reference is made to the section on tax.

Equity

Share capital is classified as equity where there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets.

A proposed dividend is recognised as a liability when the motion has been approved at the Annual General Meeting. Dividend for the year is stated separately under equity.

The revaluation reserve relates to the revaluation of property, plant and equipment less deferred tax on the revaluation. A reserve is dissolved once the assets are sold or lapse.

Reserves according to the equity method include value adjustment of investments in associates and group enterprises.

The reserve is reduced by the distribution of dividend to the parent company and adjusted by other changes in equity in associates and group enterprises.

Retained earnings include non-distributed dividends from previous years.

Additional tier 1 capital (AT1) with no maturity and with voluntary repayment of interest and principal is recognised under equity. Likewise, interest expenses relating to the issue are considered dividend. Interest is deducted from equity at the time of payment.

Own shares

Acquisition costs, consideration and dividend on own shares are recognised in retained earnings under equity. Capital reduction by cancellation of own shares reduces the share capital by an amount equal to the nominal value of the cancelled shares at the time of the registration of the capital reduction.

Contingent assets and contingent liabilities

Contingent assets and contingent liabilities comprise possible assets and liabilities originating from past events and the existence of which depends on the occurrence of future uncertain events not entirely within the control of the Group.

Contingency assets are disclosed when the occurrence of an economic benefit is likely.

Contingency liabilities that can but most likely will not require a drain on the resources of the Group are disclosed. Moreover, current liabilities that are not recognised as they are unlikely to cause a drain on the resources of the Group or the extent ofthe liability cannot be measured reliably are disclosed.

Income statement

Interest income and interest expenses

Interest income and expenses on all interest-bearing instruments are recognised in the income statement according to the accruals concept at the effective interest rate based on the expected useful life of the relevant financial instrument. For floating-rate assets and liabilities the rate of interest applied is the rate that applies until the next interest-fixing date.

Interest includes amortised fees which are an integral part of the effective return on a financial instrument at amortised cost, including front-end fees.

Interest income includes administrative contributions from mortgage loans.

Interest on mortgage loans and issued mortgage bonds that are governed by the specific balance principle is recognised at the nominal rate of interest on the outstanding bond debt.

Interest on mortgage loans, issued mortgage bonds and relating derivatives that are governed by the general balance principle is recognised at the yield to maturity. Interest relating to the related derivatives is presented together with the interest on the issued mortgage bonds so that the net interest expenses on these are recognised as a whole under Interest expenses.

Fees received and paid

Income related to services rendered over a given period of time accrues over the service period. This includes guarantee commission and portfolio management fees. Other fees are recognised in the income statement once the transaction has been completed. This includes securities transaction and safe-custody fees as well as money transfer fees.

Value adjustments

All realised and unrealised value adjustments of assets, liabilities and derivatives measured at fair value as well are recognised under value adjustments. Exempt from these are value adjustment of credit risk on loans and advances recognised under loan impairment charges and provisions for guarantees. Furthermore, the earnings impact of exchange rate adjustments and hedge accounting of fair value is recognised.

Other operating income

Other income not attributable to other income statement items, inclusive of income relating to operational leases and the proceeds from the sale of leased assets, is recognised under Other operating income.

Employee and administrative expenses

Salaries and remuneration to employees and management as well as administrative expenses, including rent for leased premises, are recognised under Employee and administrative expenses. The expenses comprise among other things salaries, holiday payments and retirement remuneration, anniversary bonuses, pension plans and other long-term employee benefits.

Pension plans and other long-term employee benefits

The Group has entered into defined contribution pension plans with the majority of its employees.

Under defined contribution pension plans, the Group makes fixed contributions to an independent pension fund. The Group is under no obligation to make further contributions. Contributions are included in the income statement over the vesting period.

Under defined benefit pension plans, the Group is obliged to pay a certain benefit when an employee retires. Liabilities in connection with defined benefit plans are automatically calculated by actuarially discounting pension liabilities to present value. The present value is calculated on the basis of assumptions relating to the future trend in interest rates, inflation, mortality and disablement.

Anniversary bonuses are recognised as the present value of the part of the overall liability which relates to the term during which the employees have been employed with the Group. Due consideration is paid to staff turnover, etc. The liability is recognised under Provisions for pensions and similar liabilities.

Other operating expenses

Other expenses not attributable to other income statement items, inclusive of Jyske Bank's proportionate share of statutory expenses for the Guarantee Fund for Depositors and Investors as well as the Resolution Fund, are recognised under Other operating expenses.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the year exclusive of interest for additional tier 1 capital (AT1) by the weighted average number of shares in circulation during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated in the same manner as earnings per share, but the decisive factors are adjusted to reflect the effect of all diluted share capital.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income comprises the profit for the period plus other comprehensive income relating to property revaluations, actuarial loss and gain and tax adjustments hereof.

Segment information

Information is stated for business sectors identified on the basis of internal management reports and accounting policies in accordance with IFRS 8.

The segment information is based on the information used by the Group's highest-ranking decision-making officer for assessing results and allocating resources. Internal management reporting comprises the segments banking activities, Mortgage activities, Leasing activities. Jyske Bank operates in the following geographical areas: Denmark and Germany

Core profit

Core profit is defined as the pre-tax profit exclusive of earnings from investment portfolios.

Investment portfolio earnings

The investment portfolio earnings consist of the return on the Group's own securities portfolio of tactical market risk positions (primarily interest rate and currency risk exposures) and a smaller amount of bond investments. Investment portfolio earnings are calculated after expenses for funding and directly attributable costs.

Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement shows Group cash flows relating to operating, investing and financing activities for the year, changes in cash and cash equivalents for the financial year, and cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year. The Cash Flow Statement is presented in accordance with the indirect method based on the profit for the year.

Cash flows derived from operating activities are calculated as the profitfor the year adjusted for non-cash operating items, changes in operating capital and paid corporate tax. Cash flows relating to investing activities include dividend received, purchase and sale of enterprises and non-current assets. Cash flows relating to financing activities include distribution and movements in equity and subordinated debt as well as repayment on lease commitment.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and free balances due from credit institutions and central banks with an original time to maturity of less than three months.

European Single Electronic Format

According to EU regulation – EU 2019/815 on European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) – companies that report results according to IFRS and that issue listed securities must publish the annual reports approved by their supervisory boards in the ESEF format. This is solely a technical format, which allows financial statement users to read the financial statements in a browser (XHTML format) and to retrieve digitally certain details from the financial statements in the XBRL format.

The following items in the consolidated financial statements have been marked up (iXBRL tags) for the ESEF taxonomy issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA):

  • Items in the income statement and other comprehensive income.
  • Items on the balance sheet.
  • Statement of changes in equity.
  • Cash flow statement.

In addition, tagging comprises all notes of the consolidated financial statements and accounting policies. The mark-up has taken place in such a way that initially for each item, an assessment has been made of the relationship to the ESMA taxonomy, which is based on the IASB's IFRS taxonomy, and then a mark-up is made to the element in the taxonomy that is most relevant for the determination and assessment of the individual item. Mark-up requirements solely relate to

items, notes and description of accounting policies at a consolidated

level, and therefore these items in the parent company are not marked up. The financial statements have been published with the following file name:"3M5E1GQGKL17HI6CPN30-2023-12-31-da.zip"

The discount is recognised as income in step with refinancing and repayment of loans. The amount recognised as income over the year is essentially offset by loan impairment charges recognised as an expense on the facilities refinanced which is included in "Loan impairment charges and provisions for guarantees for the year". The discount balance for loans and advances taken over is not included in the balance of loan impairment charges and provisions for guarantees.

In general, impairment charges at Jyske Bank A/S still developed favourably in 2023. This is also reflected in the stage migrations which showed a trend towards improving credit quality.

The transfer of impairment charges from stages 2 and 3 to stage 1 is fuelled by a few customer business groups. The balance of impairment charges rose marginally, driven, among other things, by an increase in impairment charges to property exposures in stage 3 and an update of the increases in impairment charges to macroeconomic risks.

The items of new loans and advances, etc. and discontinued loans and advances, etc. were affected by natural refinancing and remortgaging. The period only saw minor model adjustments, and the write-offs of losses are at a low level.

17 Collateral

Jyske Bank receives and provides collateral in connection with money and securities clearing, outstanding accounts with central banks, repo and reverse repo transactions, triparty agreements as well as fair value of derivatives covered by CSA agreements.

Provision of collateral is a regular part of business transactions and are carried out at market-consistent terms and conditions. Collateral is increased and reduced on an on-going basis as liabilities change.

Depending on agreements entered, collateral is provided and received with an owner's rights so that the recipient of collateral can sell this or use it to provide security for loans and other outstanding accounts.

Jyske Bank has deposited bonds with central banks and clearing houses, etc. in connection with clearing and settlement of securities and currency transactions as well as triparty repo transactions totalling a market value of DKK 20,728m at the end of 2023 (2022: DKK 15,686m).

In addition, in connection with CSA agreements, Jyske Bank has provided cash collateral of DKK 5,214m (2022: DKK 6,836m) and bonds worth DKK 3,087m (2022: DKK 6,566m).

The conclusion of repo transactions, i.e., sale of securities involving agreements to repurchase them at a later point in time, implies that bonds with a market value of DKK 14,545m were provided (2022: DKK 18,042m) as collateral at end-2023 for the amount borrowed.

Due to reverse repos, i.e., purchase of securities involving agreements to resell them at a later point in time, Jyske Bank received the sold bonds as security for the amount that was lent. At the end of 2023, reverse repos amounted to DKK 55,146m (2022: DKK 54,902m).

In addition, in connection with CSA agreements, Jyske Bank received cash collateral of DKK 6,885m (2022: DKK 10,690m) and bonds worth DKK 1,929m (2022: DKK 2,712m).

32 Contingent liabilities

Financial guarantees are primarily payment guarantees, and the risk equals that involved in credit facilities.

Guarantees for losses on mortgage loans are typically provided as security for the riskiest part of mortgage loans granted to personal customers and to a limited extent for loans secured on commercial real property. Guarantees for residential real property are within 80% and for commercial real property within 60%-80%, of the property value as assessed by a professional expert.

Registration and refinancing guarantees are provided in connection with the registration of new and refinanced mortgages. Such guarantees involve insignificant risk.

Other contingent liabilities include other forms of guarantees at varying degrees of risk, including performance guarantees. The risk involved is deemed to be less than the risk involved in, e.g., credit facilities subject to flexible drawdown.

Jyske Bank is also a party to a number of legal disputes arising from its business activities. Jyske Bank estimates the risk involved in each individual case and makes any necessary provisions which are recognised under contingent liabilities. Jyske Bank does not expect such liabilities to have material influence on Jyske Bank's financial position.

In 2021, the FSA performed a money-laundering inspection at Jyske Bank and in 2022, it published its report on the inspection relating primarily to a small number of home loans in Southern Europe.

Subsequently, the FSA informed Jyske Bank that it intended to file a police report for the violation of provisions of the Danish antimoney laundering act on customer due diligence procedures and duty of inspection. Jyske Banks estimates that there is a limited risk that Jyske Bank has been exploited for money laundering, and Jyske Bank assesses to have a good understanding of the customers and the origin of the funds. Jyske Bank will cooperate with the police on all issues of the matter.

Jyske Bank does not expect that the matter will have any material influence on Jyske Bank's financial position.

Because of its mandatory participation in the deposit guarantee scheme, the sector has paid an annual contribution of 2.5‰ of the covered net deposits until the assets of Pengeinstitutafdelingen (the Financial Institution Fund) exceed 0.8% of the total net deposits covered, which level has been reached. According to Bank Package 3 and Bank Package 4, Pengeinstitutafdelingen bears the immediate losses attributable to covered net deposits and relating to the winding up of financial institutions in distress. Any losses in connection with the final winding up are covered by the Guarantee Fund's Afviklings- og Restruktureringsafdeling (Settlement and Restructuring Fund), where Jyske Bank currently guarantees 7.91% of any losses.

The statutory participation in the resolution financing arrangements (Resolution Fund) as of June 2015 entailed that credit institutions pay an annual contribution over a 10-year period to a Danish national fund with a target size totalling 1% of the covered deposits. Credit institutions are to contribute according to their relative sizes and risk in Denmark, and the first contributions to the Resolution Fund were paid at the end of 2015. Jyske Bank expects having to pay a total of about DKK 400m over the 10-year period 2015- 2024.

Due to Jyske Bank's membership of the Foreningen Bankdata, the bank is - in the event of its withdrawal - under the obligation to pay an exit charge to Bankdata in the amount of about DKK 1.9bn.

Jyske Bank A/S is assessed for Danish tax purposes jointly with all domestic subsidiaries which are part of the Group. Jyske Bank A/S is the administration company of the joint taxation and has unlimited joint and several liability for the Danish corporation taxes of the joint taxation. Jyske Bank A/S and its most important subsidiaries are part of a joint VAT registration and is thus jointly and severally liable for the payment of VAT and payroll tax of the joint registration.

EU taxonomy reporting

Reporting pursuant to the delegated act (EU 2021/2178) supplementing Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation (EU 2020/852) for the Jyske Bank Group can be found on the following pages.

The set of templates for the reporting is so voluminous that the readability of the templates is considerably reduced when they are placed on one page of this reporting. Therefore, the set of templates is available in an excel version in Jyske Bank's ESG Fact Book at the website jyskebank.dk/ esgfactbook2023

Accounting policies

General

ESG KPIs have been worked out in line with the guidance from FSR – Danish Auditors, CFA Society Denmark and Nasdaq, which was published in June 2019 (updated in January 2022).

Changes in practice

I In the statement for 2023, the following changes have been introduced compared to previous statements.

Calculating emissions from the Group's company cars, fuel consumption is now used instead of WLTP per kilometre travelled.

Scope 3 has been expanded with category 3: Fuel and energy-related activities and category 4: Upstream transportation and distribution. In the latter category, supplierspecific data are used.

Renewable energy shares for 2022 have been restated (reduction of 9.9%), as we observed that natural gas had not previously been included in the calculation of renewable energy shares.

When calculating water consumption for 2023, we observed that our supplier had made a correction of data for 2022. Consequently, consumption for 2022 has been restated, resulting in an increase of 16%.

Environmental data

Reporting and calculation of CO2 emissions are divided according to the GHG Protocol's definitions of scopes 1 to 3.

CO2 emissions factors set out in the Danish Business Authority's Climate Compass ('Klimakompasset') have been used to calculate emissions unless otherwise stated.

Consumption data have been calculated for the period 1 January 2023 – 31 December 2023 unless otherwise stated.

sions factor for the individual car model. From 2023, fuel consumption is applied instead of kilometres travelled for calculating emissions from company cars. No distinction is made between business and private driving in company cars, which means that all fuel consumption by company cars is recognised in scope 1.

Heating

The heating category includes heating with natural gas, which is calculated using the emissions factor for emissions per m3 .

Scope 1 The CO2 emissions come from heating with natural gas and the use of the bank's own vehicles. Vehicles The category includes the bank's own vehicles, including loan and company cars. Emissions from loan cars are calculated based on kilometres travelled and the WLTP emis-Emissions are calculated according to the two accounting methods required under the GHG Protocol: the market-based method and the location-based method. In the market-based method, the Group's electricity consumption is offset by the electricity produced by Jyske Bank Vindmølle. If the consumption of electricity exceeds the production of electricity, the emissions factor from Energinet's electricity declaration is used. Under the location-based method, the average emissions factors from Energinet's environmental declaration are used.

Scope 2

CO2 emissions for electricity and district heating from external suppliers.

Electricity

District heating

18% of Jyske Bank's district heating consumption for 2023 is estimated based on consumption in 2022 as this percentage concerns properties Jyske Bank rents, and final heating statements 2023 are not yet available. The emissions factor is based on data from the Danish Energy Agency.

Scope 3

Scope 3 CO2 emissions are divided into the 15 categories of the GHG Protocol. As of 2023, we have included emissions from fuel- and energy-related activities as well as upstream transportation and distribution. Thus CO2 emissions from the following categories are included in scope 3 for 2023: category 1: Purchased goods and services, category 3: Fueland energy-related activities, category 4: Upstream transportation and distribution, category 5: Waste generated in operations, category 6: Business travel, category 7: Employee commuting, category 13: Downstream leased assets, and category 15: Investments.

Purchased goods and services

This category includes paper consumption calculated as kilos of printed paper, which is converted to emissions using an emissions factor.

Fuel- and energy-related activities

This category concerns emissions from extraction, production and transportation of fuel and energy used in scopes 1 and 2.

Upstream transportation and distribution

This category includes CO2 emissions from fuel consumption in connection with servicing of the bank's ATMs.

Waste generated in operations

Waste data are received from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency and converted to CO2 emissions using emissions factors. Waste volumes from 2022 is used as data for 2023 are not yet available. The Danish Business Agency's emissions factors for waste fractions are used to calculate CO2 emissions.

Business travel

Business travel includes the Jyske Bank Group's travel by air, public transport, work-related driving in employee cars, taxi rides and transport by ferry. In calculating CO2 emissions from air travel, a distinction is made between domestic and international flights when choosing emissions factors. Emissions from train and taxi journeys as well as transport by ferry are based on cost incurred (spend-based method) divided by random sample-based DKK per kilometre. Emissions from driving employee cars are based on recorded kilometres travelled and Statistics Denmark's average WLTP emissions factor for 2021.

Employee commuting

Data on employee commuting were collected via a questionnaire sent to all employees in the Group. The response rate was 84%. For commuting by car, the car's WLTP emissions factor is used, for commuting by public transport, the average emissions factor for the means of transport (bus/ train/metro) from the Climate Compass (Klimakompasset) is used. Commuting for unanswered questionnaires is estimated as an average of the responses received.

Downstream leased assets

Investments

Financed emissions

Jyske Bank leases properties in whole or in part to several companies. Consumption data are received from lessees and include the companies' consumption of natural gas, district heating and electricity. Emissions are calculated using the same emissions factors as used for the Group's scopes 1 and 2 emissions. company-specific data where available. For mortgage loans, emissions are estimated based on the property's EPC. If not available, the estimate is based on other information about the individual property. For car loans to personal customers, the WLTP emissions factor for the specific vehicle is used. Assets under management

The category also includes emissions from the leasing portfolio (both operating and finance leases) with Jyske Finans. Emissions are calculated in accordance with Finance Denmark's CO2 model. For leases to corporate customers, emissions factors are based on data from Statistics Denmark and company-specific data where available. For leasing to personal customers, the WLTP emissions factor for the individual vehicle is used. Emissions have been estimated for 88% of assets under management excluding funds of funds and advisory solutions. For equities and corporate bonds, emission data from MSCI are used. For mortgage bonds, data from the individual mortgage credit institution or estimated data are used for estimation of emissions. For other holdings, emissions factors are based on data from Statistics Denmark. Own investment portfolio

This category consists of the Jyske Bank Group's financed CO2 emissions from assets under management, own investment portfolio, business loans, mortgage loans and car loans to personal customers. Emissions are calculated in accordance with Finance Denmark's CO2 model. For further information on the method for estimating financed emissions, please refer to the methodology document on impact analysis on our website.

Loans Emissions have been estimated for 89% of the Group's on-balance sheet loans. For business loans, emissions factors are based on data from Statistics Denmark and Category 15 includes JN Data and Bankdata's scopes 1 and 2 emissions minus emissions from Jyske Bank's properties leased to Bankdata and JN Data (category 13) weighted by Jyske Bank's ownership interest in Bankdata and JN Data.

Emissions have been estimated for 74% of Jyske Bank's own investment portfolio. Emissions have been estimated on the same basis as used for assets under management.

Bankdata and JN Data

Water consumption

Water consumption is estimated based on average m3 per full-time equivalent (FTE) for five Jyske Bank Group locations. The five locations are: Helsingør, Sønderborg, Horsens, Hillerød and Svendborg. The locations are all properties owned by Jyske Bank and bank branches with customer access. The average m3 per FTE is then multiplied by the total number of FTEs of the Group.

Waste

Waste volumes are estimated based on waste per employee for the locations: Hirtshals, Risskov, Roskilde, Svendborg and Holbæk. The reported waste volumes for these locations includes only waste from Jyske Bank, while other Jyske Bank locations share waste containers with other companies or private households. Waste data are retrieved from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency's data hub. The average waste per employee for the five locations is then multiplied by the total number of employees in the Group. Waste data have been calculated for the period 01/01/2022 – 31/12/2022.

Energy consumption

Total energy consumption in gigajoule from gas, district heating and electricity.

Energy intensity per FTE

Total energy consumption for 2023 divided by the number of FTEs as of 31/12/2023.

Renewable energy share

The renewable energy share is calculated based on the share of renewable electricity and district heating relative to total energy consumption. The renewable energy share of district heating is calculated annually by the Danish Energy Agency and published in energy statistics. The calculation of the renewable energy share of electricity has factored in the production of renewable energy by Jyske Bank Vindmølle A/S from 01/01/2023 to 31/12/2023, which covers the Group's total consumption of electricity.

Social data

Social data concerning employees, management, salaries, etc. covers the Jyske Bank Group only. Unless otherwise stated, social data have been calculated as of 31/12/2023.

Employee turnover rate
Number of resignations in the year relative to the average
number of employees as at 01/01/2023 and 31/12/2023.
Job satisfaction
Calculation based on an employee survey conducted by En
nova. The index score is an average of four questions about
satisfaction and motivation. The survey covers all employ
ees in the Group.
Absence due to illness
The number of registered employee sickness days relative
to FTEs. Employee sickness days include an employee's
absence due to own sickness, child's sickness and partial

Board meeting attendance Number of board meetings attended by each individual board member relative to the total number of board meetings held.

CEO to employee pay ratio

The CEO's total remuneration (incl. senior allowance, excl. variable wage cost) relative to the median salary of employees

EU Taxonomy Regulation

This reporting has been prepared in accordance with the Delegated Act (EU 2021/2178) issued in accordance with article 8 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU 2020/852) and covers the Jyske Bank Group.

The reporting has been prepared in accordance with Annexes V, VI, XI and XII of the Delegated Act as well as the European Commission's FAQs of 20 December 2021 and 21 December 2023 and Commission Notice on interpretation (2022/C 385/01).

Calculation of the key ratios is based on the same data as the Group's reporting under (EU) 2021/451 (FINREP) as well as reported data from the Group's financial and non-financial customers which are subject to reporting under the EU Taxonomy Regulation (NFRD undertakings).

NFRD undertakings

The calculation of eligibility and alignment is based on counterparties' KPIs for 2022 as the disclosures for 2023 have not yet been published. Several of the bank's counterparties have not broken down their eligibility KPIs by environmental objectives. In such cases, the reported eligibility KPI is assumed exclusively to relate to environmental objective 1:

Personal customers

Climate Change Mitigation. Financial institutions The calculation is based on counterparties' KPIs for 2022 as the disclosures for 2023 have not yet been published. Financial institutions have only reported the total KPI for eligibility in 2022, which is not broken down by turnover, CapEx or environmental objectives. It is assumed that the eligibility KPI for financial counterparties are identical for turnover and CapEx, and that 100% of the reported KPI relates to environmental objective 1: Climate Change Mitigation. buildings under the EU Taxonomy, Feb. 20228 Based on Jyske Realkredit's analysis showing that all homes with EPC class A and B as well as the majority of homes with a class C are in the top 15% of the most energy-efficient buildings in Denmark, homes with valid EPC class A and B that are not exposed to physical risk in an RCP8.5 scenario in the period 2041-2070 are assessed taxonomy-aligned. Homes built after 31 December 2020 are assessed taxonomy-aligned if the building is 10% better than NZEB in terms of energy-efficiency, corresponding to energy label A2015.

  • The building's EPC.
  • Analysis of physical risks, storm surge and water level rise for the building7
  • Jyske Realkredit analysis: Top 15% energy-efficient

The eligibility and alignment of exposures to personal customers are assessed by Jyske Bank. All mortgage and bank loans for real estate are assessed as eligible, cf 7.7. Acquisition and ownership of buildings of the technical screening criteria, whereas alignment of mortgage and bank loans for real estate where the building was built before 31 December 2020 is assessed based on: Car loans to personal customers established after 1 January 2022 are included as taxonomy-eligible, cf 6.5 Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles of the technical screening criteria, while no car loans are assessed taxonomy-aligned as no information is available for assessing the DNSH criteria.

Compliance with minimum safeguards is not assessed in relation to personal customers.

Local governments

The assessment of whether exposures to local governments qualify as aligned is made in the same way as for mortgage loans to personal customers (see above). Only exposures to buildings assessed as aligned are included in GAR, while other exposures to local governments are included in the denominator but not in the numerator for calculating GAR.

Repossessed collaterals

The assessment of whether repossessed collaterals qualify as aligned, where the collateral is residential and commercial real estate, is made in the same way as for mortgage loans to personal customers (see above).

Assets under management

The calculation of eligibility and alignment is based on data from MSCI. As several undertakings have not broken down eligibility by environmental objectives in their reporting, no eligibility KPIs appear from MSCI's data. In these cases, the alignment KPI for the investee undertakings are applied as eligibility KPI. This is the case for all records of eligibility under environmental objective 2: Climate Change Adaptation, for which reason eligibility is equal to alignment in relation to environmental objective 2.

Independent auditor's report

To the shareholders of Jyske Bank A/S

Independent auditor's report on the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements

Audit opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements of Jyske Bank A/S for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2023, which comprise statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and notes, including material accounting policies, for the Group and the Parent Company, and a consolidated cash flow statement. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for listed financial institutions, and the Parent's financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group at 31 December 2023 and of the results of the Group's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2023 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for listed financial companies.

Basis for opinion

Further, in our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Parent Company's financial position at 31 December 2023 and of the results of the Parent Company's operations for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2023 in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act. (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.

Our audit opinion is consistent with our long-form audit report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. To the best of our knowledge, we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services as described in article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014.

Indepencence

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial statements" (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the financial statements") section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We were initially appointed as auditor of Jyske Bank A/S on 16 June 2020 for the financial year 2020. We have been reappointed annually by resolution of the general meeting for a total consecutive period of 4 years up until the financial year 2023. Key audit matters judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the

Appointment of auditor

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional financial statements for the financial year 2023. These matters were addressed during our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled our responsibilities described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section, including in relation to the key audit matters below. Our audit included the design and performance of procedures to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Key audit matters

Measurement of loans, advances and guarantees

A material part of the Group's assets consists of loans and advances, which are associated with risks of loss in the event of the customer's inability to pay. In addition, guarantees and other financial products are also associated with risks of loss.

The Group's total loans amounted to DKK 557,312m at 31 December 2023 (DKK 541,682m at 31 December 2022), and the total impairment charges and provisions for expected credit losses amounted to DKK 4,972m at 31 December 2023 (DKK 4,741m at 31 December 2022).

In our assessment, the Group's statement of loan impairment charges and provisions for losses on guarantees, etc. constitute a key audit matter, as the statement involves material amounts and management's estimates. This relates in particular to the determination of the probability of default, staging assessment and an assessment of indication of credit impairment, realisable value of collateral received as well as the customer's ability to pay in case of default.

Large exposures and exposures with high risk are assessed individually, while small exposures and exposures with low risk are determined on the basis of models for expected credit losses that involve management's estimates in connection with the establishment of methods and parameters for the determination of the expected loss. The Group recognizes additional impairment charges based on management's estimates in such situations where the impairment charges calculated by models and determined individually have not yet been estimated to reflect specific risks of loss.

Reference is made to the notes 14, 50 and 68 of the financial statements, where the Group's and the bank's credit risks, accounting policies as well as uncertainties and estimates that may affect the statement of expected credit losses are described.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Based on our risk assessment and knowledge of the indus
try, we have performed the following audit procedures relat
ing to measurement of loans, advances and guarantees:

Assessment of the Group's methods for stating expect
ed credit losses, including an assessment as to whether
methods applied for model-based and individual state
ments of expected credit losses are in accordance with
the accounting rules.

Test of the Group's procedures and internal controls,
including tests relating to the monitoring of exposures,
staging assessment, registration of indication of credit
impairment as well as registration and valuation of col
lateral values.

Sample testing among the largest and most risky expo
sures, including credit-impaired exposures, for i.a. correct
risk classification and identification of objective evidence
of credit impairment as well as test of the methods ap

plied, collateral values and future cash flows in impairment

calculations.

• As regards model-calculated charges, we tested the

completeness and accuracy of input data, determination of model parameters, adjustment for expectations of future economic circumstances, the models' calculations of expected credit losses as well as the Group's validation of models and methods for the determination of expected credit losses.

• As regards management overlays to individual and model-based impairments charges, we assessed whether the methods applied are relevant and suitable and assessed and tested the Group's basis for the applied preconditions, including whether these are reasonable and well-founded relative to relevant bases of comparison.

Furthermore, we assessed whether the disclosures in the notes relating to exposures, credit loss and credit risks comply with the relevant accounting rules and tested the numerical information in these notes (14, 19, 20 and 21).

Statement on the Management's Review

Management is responsible for the Management' review.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Management's review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management's review and, in doing so, consider whether the Management's review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management's review provides the information required by relevant law and regulations.

Based on our procedures, we conclude that the Management's review is in accordance with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of relevant law and regulations. We did not identify any material misstatement of the Management's review.

Management's responsibilities for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional disclosure requirements for listed financial institutions and for the preparation of parent company financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act. Moreover, Management is responsible for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, 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 and additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of 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 of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than 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 not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's and the Parent Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the 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 Group and the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the financial statements, including the note disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate to them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, safeguards used or actions taken to eliminate those threats.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the current period and are therefore key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure.

Report on compliance with the ESEF Regulation

As part of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of Jyske Bank A/S, we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report of Jyske Bank A/S for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2023 with the file name "3M5E1GQGKL17HI6CPN30-2023-12-31-da.zip" is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements including notes.

Management is responsible for preparing an annual report that complies with the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility includes:

  • The preparing of the annual report in XHTML format
  • The selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, including extensions to the ESEF taxonomy and the anchoring thereof to elements in the taxonomy, for all financial information required to be tagged using judgement where necessary
  • Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged data and the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in human readable format, and

• For such internal control as Management determines necessary to enable the preparation of an annual report that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation.

Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or error. The procedures include:

  • Testing whether the annual report is prepared in XHTML format
  • Obtaining an understanding of the company's iXBRL tagging process and of internal control over the tagging process
  • Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements including notes
  • Evaluating the appropriateness of the company's use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF taxonomy and the creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy has been identified
  • Evaluating the use of anchoring of extension elements to elements in the ESEF taxonomy, and
  • Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

In our opinion, the annual report of Jyske Bank A/S for the financial year 1 January – 31 December 2023 with the file name "3M5E1GQGKL17HI6CPN30-2023-12-31-da.zip" is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation.

As agreed, we performed an examination providing limited assurance, as defined by the International Standard on Assurance Engagements, of the Jyske Bank A/S Group's (Jyske Bank) ESG financial highlights, reported CO2 emissions and reporting in accordance with the EU Taxonomy (the "selected ESG data") on pages 211-212 and 218-237 for the period 1 January to 31 December 2023.

When preparing the selected ESG data, Jyske Bank used the criteria "accounting policies" described on pages 238-243. The selected ESG data should be read and understood in the context of the accounting policies, which are the sole responsibility of Management to select and apply. The absence of an established practice to derive, evaluate and measure the selected ESG data allows for different but acceptable measurement techniques and may affect comparability between entities and over time.

Management's responsibilities

Jyske Bank A/S' Management is responsible for determining the accounting policies and for presenting, in all material respects, the selected ESG data in accordance with the accounting policies. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls, maintaining adequate records, and making estimates that are relevant to the preparation of the selected ESG data, such that they are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the presentation of the selected ESG data, based on our examinations and the evidence we have obtained.

professional standards and applicable requirements of Danish law and other regulations.

We performed our work in accordance with ISAE 3000 Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information and additional requirements under Danish audit regulation to obtain limited assurance for our conclusion. EY Godkendt Revisionspartnerselskab applies the International Standard on Quality Management 1, ISQM1, which requires that we design, implement and operate a quality control system, including policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, providing limited assurance on the selected ESG data. The procedures performed in connection with our examination are less than those performed in connection with a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the degree of assurance for our conclusion is substantially less than the assurance that would be obtained had we performed a reasonable assurance engagement.

We have complied with the requirements for independence and other ethical requirements of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) which are based on the fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality, and professional conduct as well as ethical requirements applicable in Denmark.

Description of procedures performed

Our procedures were designed to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence for purposes of expressing a conclusion As part of our examinations, we performed the below procedures:

  • Interviewed those in charge of the selected ESG data to develop an understanding of the process for the statement of the selected ESG data and for performing internal control procedures.
  • Analytical review procedures regarding data and trends to identify areas within the selected ESG data subject to a material risk of misleading information or material misstatement and obtained an understanding of possible explanations of major variances.
  • Based on queries, we assessed whether the accounting policies applied are expedient and consistently applied and assessed related information in the selected ESG data. This also includes whether Management's assessments are fair and reasonable.
  • Designed and performed additional procedures responsive to risks, and obtained evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.

We believe that our work provides a reasonable basis for our conclusion.

Conclusion

Based on our examinations and the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that Jyske Bank's ESG financial highlights, CO2 emissions and reporting in accordance with the EU Taxonomy (the "selected ESG data") on pages 211-212 and 218-237 for the period 1 January – 31 December 2023 have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies described on pages 238-243.

Other Disclosures than the selected ESG data

Management is responsible for Other Disclosures. Other Disclosures comprise the remaining pieces of information included in the Management's review and which are not included in the selected ESG data on pages 211-212 and 218-237 and our auditor's report thereon.

Our conclusion on the selected ESG data does not extend to Other Disclosures and we do not express an opinion providing assurance thereon.
