New Pillar 2 from Norwegian FSA

The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) has as part of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP)in Lea bank ASA made a decision on the capital requirement in Pillar 2 and the expected capital buffer. The decision was announced 24.05.2024. The Pillar 2 requirement and the expected capital buffer are in addition to the capital

requirements under Pillar 1. The FSA decided that the Pillar 2 requirement for Lea bank ASA shall be reduced from 6.5 % to 5.1 % of the total risk exposure amount. The FSA also expects Lea bank to have a capital buffer of 2 % of the total risk exposure amount. 100 % of the requirement and capital buffer must be covered with Core Equity Tier1 (CET1). The new requirement was applicable from 30.06.2024.

1.3 Summary of the main accounting principles

1.3.1 Revenue recognition

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. This involves recognizing interest income on an ongoing basis, with the addition of amortization of establishment fees. The effective interest rate is determined by discounting contracted cash flows within expected maturity. Cash flows include establishment fees, as well as any residual value at the end of the expected maturity.

Revenue recognition of interest using the effective interest method is used for balance sheet items that are valued at amortized cost. For interest-bearing balance sheet items that are valued at fair value through profit or loss, the nominal interest is recognized on an ongoing basis, while other changes in value are presented as "Net change in value and gains/losses on currency and financial instruments." Interest income on engagements that are credit impaired is calculated using the effective interest rate on the written down value. Interest income on engagements that are not credit impaired is calculated using the gross effective interest rate (amortized cost before provision for expected losses).

The effective interest rate is the rate that makes the present value of future cash flows within the expected maturity of the loan equal to the book value of the loan at initial recognition. Cash flows include establishment fees, as well as any residual value at the end of the expected maturity.

Fees and commissions are recognized as revenue as the service is provided. Fees for the establishment of loan agreements are included in cash flows when calculating amortized cost and recognized as revenue under net interest income using the effective interest method. Payment of fees to loan intermediaries for consumer loans is spread over the expected maturity.

Dividends from investments are recognized at the time the dividend is approved at the general meeting.

1.3.2 Financial Instruments

Recognition and derecognition of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet at the time the bank becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument. Common purchases and sales of investments are recorded at the time of agreement. Financial assets are removed from the balance sheet when the rights to receive cash flows from the investment cease or when these rights have been transferred and the bank has substantially transferred the risks and entire profit potential of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the rights to the contractual terms have been fulfilled, cancelled or expired.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement of Financial Instruments Financial instruments are classified into one of the following measurement categories upon initial recognition.

Financial assets: amortized cost (AC) fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) or;

Financial assets are classified based on an assessment of the bank's business model for managing assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. Financial assets with contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on specified dates and held in a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows are measured at amortized cost. Other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Based on this, "Cash and cash equivalents", "Loans and receivables from credit institutions and financing companies" and "Loans from customers" are measured at amortized cost, but the bank's holdings of "Interest-bearing securities" and "Shares, and other equity instruments" are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities: Amortized cost

This category consists of "Deposits from customers".

Measurement at fair value

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized at fair value upon acquisition and transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. The items are subsequently measured at fair value in subsequent periods.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on market prices on the balance sheet date.

The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques.

Measurement at amortized cost

All financial assets not measured at fair value are initially recognized at fair value with transaction costs added, and other liabilities recognized at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value with transaction costs deducted.

Amortized cost is determined by discounting the contractual cash flows over the expected life. The cash flows include establishment fees and direct, marginal transaction costs not directly paid by the customer, as well as any residual value at the end of the expected life. Amortized cost is the present value of such cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate, with an allowance for expected losses.

Impairment of financial assets

Under IFRS 9, impairment losses are recognized based on expected credit losses. The measurement of the provision for expected losses in the general model depends on whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. At initial recognition and when the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the provisions are based on 12-month expected credit losses ("stage 1"). 12-month expected credit losses are the losses expected to occur over the life of the instrument but that can be attributed to events occurring in the first 12 months.

If the credit risk, assessed as the probability of default over the remaining life of an asset or group of assets, is considered to have increased significantly since initial recognition, a provision for expected losses equal to the present value, determined using the effective interest rate, of the expected loss over the entire expected life of the instrument must be made, and the asset must be reclassified to stage 2. If a credit event occurs, the instrument is moved to stage 3.

The bank has defined expected life as the expected time horizon associated with the first occurrence of default or full payment of interest and principal on the claim. The bank looks at changes in the risk of default since initial recognition to determine if an asset has experienced a significant increase in credit risk. The bank considers a commitment to be impaired/defaulted when the loan is more than 90 days past due, the customer has been transferred to a debt collection agency for recovery of the claim, there is a death, or cases where there is suspicion of fraud.

In the event of bankruptcy or a court judgment, the bank records commitments affected by such circumstances as incurred losses (write-offs). This also applies in cases where the bank has otherwise ceased recovery or waived parts of or the entire commitment.

Model Characteristics

The bank uses a loss model to calculate loss provisions. The model includes, among other things, the probability of default (PD), discount rate, exposure at default (EAD), and loss given default (LGD).

The bank uses various indicators to assess whether an asset has had a significant increase in the risk of default. This information is based on the actual behavior of customers, and the bank has established a range of rules that it has identified as triggers for a significant increase in credit risk.

The models provide an estimate of PD, which involves separate LGD loss models that run both before and after default. The bank uses models for exposures at the time of default. Triggers are used to classify accounts into three stages:

Stage 1: "12-month expected loss"

Stage 2: "Significant increase in credit risk compared to initial recognition" Stage 3: "Credit-impaired"

All defaulted engagements are placed in stage 3 of the model. Engagements that have had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition are allocated to stage 2. The remaining engagements are included in stage 1.

Default is defined as engagements that are more than 90 days past due according to the agreed payment plan and the overdue amount is at least € 100 in the respective local currency. On December 31, 2022, the bank switched to a new definition of default, which is in line with the definition used by the EBA (Guidelines on the application of the definition of default under Article 178 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013). The "last in, first out" (LIFO) principle is applied, where the most recent overdue invoice is covered first. This is different from the previous default definition where the oldest overdue invoice was covered first. This new principle means that a customer who consistently falls 30 days behind schedule will roll over into default.

To assess whether an engagement has had a significant increase in credit risk and should be transferred from stage 1 to stage 2 in the model, two main tests are conducted. The first test, the PD test, checks whether two criteria are met for an engagement to be considered to have had a significant increase in credit risk (SICR). The first criterion is a relative measurement of PD, which means that the observed PD on the reporting date must be at least three times higher than the expected PD calculated on the recognition date. The second criterion measures the absolute change in PD and requires it to be at least three percentage points higher, if the increase in credit risk is to be considered significant. Both criteria in the first test must be met for the engagement to be considered to have had a significant increase in credit risk. The second test serves as a backstop and involves moving the engagement to stage 2 if it is at least 30 days overdue, regardless of the result in the first test to stage 2.

In addition to the two tests, the bank also used information regarding approved payment relief (forbearance), as well as information regarding defaults on other products, to assess whether an engagement has had a significant increase in credit risk. Engagements with forbearance where the present value of future cash flows is reduced by more than 1% or there are multiple forbearance events are reported in stage 3. The volume of engagements with forbearance flag at the reporting date is specified in the loan note in the corresponding overview showing changes in gross loans.

A loan that has migrated to stage 2 can migrate back to stage 1, provided it no longer meets any of the criteria or conditions described in the paragraphs above. There is no explicit quarantine before a loan can migrate from stage 2 to stage 1. Loans in default (stage 3) will migrate to stage 1 or 2 when they are no longer classified as defaults, unless they are purchased defaulted loans or loans originally assessed as credit-impaired.

The bank has developed models for the expected lifetime of all unsecured loans per country, measured against repayment agreements and current repayment patterns. The chosen methodology for each model is based on the respective maturity of the portfolio as well as the availability of data in the respective markets. The models are continuously validated. This includes validation on out of time sample.

The PD, LGD, and EAD models use an adjustment factor based on macro assessments for each product and country. Through simulations, an expected, an upper, and a lower scenario for expected losses are established where the model weights in the management's assessment of the likely macro picture. Significant macro variables are defined as GDP, unemployment, and interest rates. For engagements with SME and mortgage customers, the portfolio is of insignificant size, and the bank has therefore not applied a quantitative model.

The bank segments the portfolio into groups of loans with common risk characteristics and calculates expected credit losses (ECL) for each segment. The expected credit loss (ECL) is calculated as a product of a defined set of parameters tailored to the characteristics of each segment. The formula used is: ECL = PD * EAD * LGD.

The bank's Swedish and Spanish portfolios currently lack sufficient historical data to develop PD, LGD or SICR factors. For these countries, the bank has opted to use application-based PD to estimate PD for all engagements in stage 1. For engagements in stage 2, PD values are distributed across days overdue, indicating the likelihood that the customer will transition to stage 3 within the next 12 months. The LGD rates for these two portfolios are based on observed rates in other countries where the bank operates, combined with prices obtained from the respective markets. In these markets, the bank does not operate with SICR factors, and only a back-stop mechanism leads to contract migration from stage 1 to stage 2.

Cash and deposits with the central bank

The bank's credit risk related to "Cash and balances with central banks" is exclusively towards Norges Bank. Norges Bank is rated Aaa by Moody's and AAA/A-1+ by S&P, and therefore has low credit risk. The bank assesses that the presumption of low credit risk is fulfilled and does not make any provisions for losses related to this balance item.

Loans and deposits with credit institutions

"Loans and deposits with credit institutions" are towards Norwegian financial institutions with good ratings and are thus considered to meet the presumption of low credit risk under the standard. The bank assesses that this, combined with LGD, will result in insignificant provisions for losses, and therefore has not made any provisions for losses related to this balance item.

1.3.3 Fixed assets and intangible assets

Fixed assets and intangible assets are recorded on the balance sheet at acquisition cost, less accumulated ordinary depreciation and any impairment losses.

Ordinary depreciation is based on acquisition cost and is linearly distributed over the estimated economic life of the asset. There have been no changes to the depreciation schedules.

If the fair value of a property, plant and equipment asset is significantly lower than the book value and the impairment is not expected to be temporary, the asset is written down to fair value.

The bank's lease agreement for office space falls under IFRS 16. At initial recognition, the lease liability and the right-of-use asset are measured at the present value of future lease payments and are amortized in the accounts.

1.3.4 Currency

Losses or gains due to foreign exchange rates that arise from payments made to foreign countries are recognized as income or expenses at the time of the transaction in NOK.

1.3.5 Taxes

Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are recognized in accordance with NRS (F) on income tax. The tax expense in the income statement includes both the current payable tax and the change in deferred tax. The change in deferred tax is related to

the tax effect of temporary differences in results and changes in losses carried forward.

Deferred tax assets in the balance sheet can only be recognized as an asset in the balance sheet if it can be held to be more likely than not that the company will have a taxable income in a future accounting year that makes it possible to utilize the benefit.

1.3.6 Financial derivatives

The estimated value of options is expensed continuously in the income statement in line with the accrual, with the offset recorded in other contributed equity in the balance sheet.

Freestanding subscription rights are recognized as an intangible asset with the offset recorded in other contributed equity. The asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years.

In cases where the bank has entered into forward flow agreements for defaulted loans, these agreements are defined as financial derivatives. The bank has concluded that the value of the financial derivatives is not material and therefore the agreement is not recognized in the balance sheet. This assessment is based on a comparison of the LGD rates that the bank realizes with the forward flow agreement compared to the LGD rates observed in the market for comparable banks with comparable products.

1.3.7 Pension

The bank is subject to the Mandatory Occupational Pension Act and has a depositbased pension scheme that covers all employees. Contributions to the scheme are made continuously, and the bank has no obligations beyond the ongoing contributions to the scheme.

1.3.8 Assessments and estimates

In preparing the financial statements, management has made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the bank's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed continuously. Changes in estimates are recognized as they arise.

Information about judgments made in the application of accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts presented in the financial statements is included in the following notes:

Note 2: including establishing the criteria for when a significant increase in credit risk has occurred since initial recognition, determining the methodology for incorporating forward-looking information in the measurement of ECL (Expected Credit Loss), and choosing the models used to measure ECL.

Risk classes are grouped by probability of default (12-month PD) into groups from A to J, where group A is the group with the lowest risk and group J is the group with the highest risk. Defaulted loans are separated into their own group. *Parts of the volume in stage 3 have PD lower than 100%. This applies to loans that are in stage 3 due to the new definition of default and/or are in quarantine.
