The investment strategy of Lion Capital on a long-term basis aims to maximize portfolio performance to increase the value of assets under management and of investment income.
The financial objective is maximizing portfolio returns through dividend income and capital gains.
Lion Capital's investment objective is the efficient management of a diversified portfolio of quality assets, capable of providing a steady income stream, preserving, and growing medium to long-term capital, with the goal of enhancing shareholder value and achieving high returns on invested capital.
Strategic asset allocations and occasional rebalancing are based on evaluations of existing holdings and investment opportunities within the context of the current market and economic conditions.
The investments made by Lion Capital SA, as an AIFM addressed to retail investors, are made exclusively in assets and within the limits regulated by Law no. 243/2019 regarding the regulation of alternative investment funds and the amendment and supplementation of certain normative acts.
During the year 2024, Lion Capital had under management a diversified portfolio consisting of two main categories of financial instruments: stocks and fund units. The fund implemented a customized exit strategy for each investment, defined based on the specific nature of the investment, long-term strategy, objectives, and exit transaction conditions.
The individual approach for each participation aims to achieve an aggregate return, composed of both dividend income and capital gains.
Considering the shift in inflation perception from transitory to persistent, the focus is on maintaining exposure to companies and financial instruments that can benefit from this economic environment.
The main actions in portfolio management have adhered to the objectives approved by shareholders, focusing on:
Lion Capital's net asset value (NAV) reached RON 4,619.85m as of the end of 3Q 2024, up 12.82% vs. RON 4,095.06m, the value recorded as of 2023-year end. Net asset value per share (NAV/S) was of RON 9.1030 as of September 30, 2024, an increase of 12.60% vs. RON 8.0847, the value recorded as of December 31, 2023. The number of outstanding shares changed compared to 2023-year end (details in Chapter 4. The shares issued by Lion Capital).

NET ASSET VALUE (MONTHLY VALUES) SEPTEMBER 2023 - SEPTEMBER 2024
The calculation of NAV and NAV/S is performed monthly by Lion Capital, the values are certified by the depositary bank Banca Comercială Română (BCR).
NAV statements for each month were submitted to Bucharest Stock Exchange and the Financial Supervisory Authority – Financial Instruments and Investments Sector, and are permanently available to investors, as they are published on Lion Capital's website (www.lion-capital.ro) within the regulated deadlines.
During the reporting period, NAV calculation was performed in accordance with the provisions of Law no. 243/2019 on alternative investment funds and for the amendment and completion of certain normative acts and of the ASF Regulation no. 7/2020 on the authorization and operation of alternative investment funds with subsequent amendments and completions. The reporting formats of statement of assets and liabilities, respectively the detailed statement of investments, related to the reporting period comply with the content established in annexes no. 10 and 11 of the ASF Regulation no. 7/2020, with subsequent amendments and completions.
According to ASF Regulation no. 7/2020, the net asset value of an AIFRI established as an investment company is determined as the difference between the total value of the assets and the sum of the accrued expenses and deferred income. Both current and non-current debts and accrued provisions are included in the calculation of the total amount of debts. In accordance with these regulations, starting with July 1, 2021, following the authorization of Lion Capital as AIFRI, the company calculated the net asset value by adding the deferred income tax (non-current debt) to the total debts.
The statement of Lion Capital's assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2024, prepared as per the provisions of annex 10 to Regulation no. 7/2020 is presented as annex to this report.
Throughout the reporting period, the measurement of assets for the calculation of net asset value was carried out in accordance with the regulations issued by the Financial Supervisory Authority, the provisions of ASF Regulation no. 10/2015 and of ASF Regulation no. 9/2014 (art. 113-122), with subsequent amendments and completions.
As per these regulations:
Financial instruments admitted to trading or traded in the last 30 trading days on a regulated market or in systems other than regulated markets, including in an alternative trading system in Romania, from a Member State or a non-member, are measured:
a) At the closing price of the market segment considered as the main market or the reference price provided in trading systems other than regulated markets including alternative systems by the operator of that trading system for the day for which the calculation is made;
c) In 2024, Lion Capital maintained this valuation method for the following portfolio companies: SIF Imobiliare PLC (symbol SIFI), SIF Hoteluri SA (symbol CAOR), and IAMU SA (symbol IAMU). The analysis carried out by the company revealed that for the issuers SIF Imobiliare, SIF Hoteluri and IAMU, the active market criteria are not respected, as during 2023 transactions representing less than 1% of the issuer's share capital were recorded, the total number of transactions being less than 50 (during the last 12 months), their frequency being insufficient to meet the criterion of providing reliable price information on an ongoing basis.
Securities not admitted to trading on a regulated market or not traded in the last 30 trading days are valued at the book (accounting) value per share resulting from the last annual financial statements, respectively the value of equity included in the monthly reports to BNR (National Bank of Romania) for credit institutions.
In the case of joint stock companies not admitted to trading in a regulated market or alternative system, in which Lion Capital holds more than 33% of the share capital, those shares are measured in Lion Capital net asset exclusively in accordance with the international standards evaluation based on an evaluation report, updated at least annually. These companies are presented in a separate annex under the Detailed Portfolio Statement.
Fixed income financial instruments are measured using the method based on the daily recognition of interest and amortization of the discount / premium for the period passed from the date of the investment.
The shares of companies in insolvency, judicial liquidation or reorganization proceedings are valued at zero until the procedure is completed.
The values of non-portfolio items considered in the calculation of net assets are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
The valuation methods applied by the Company to evaluate the financial assets in the portfolio are presented on Company's website, www.lion-capital.ro, in the operating documents as AIFRI, namely Simplified Prospectus, Rules of the Fund in the section Corporate Governance › AIFRI, and in the section Portfolio Management › Net Asset › Methods for the Measurement of Lion Capital's Assets.
The asset allocation strategy aims to maximize portfolio performance within regulated prudential conditions, where efficient and responsible portfolio management drives sustainable performance.
The limits and investment restrictions applicable to Lion Capital's operations throughout 2024 complied with the ASF regulations provisions established by Law no. 243/2019 regarding the regulation of alternative investment funds, considering that according to the provisions of this law, Lion Capital is classified as a closed end, diversified Alternative Investment Fund addressed to Retail Investors (AIFRI).
Lion Capital's detailed statement of investments as of September 30, 2024, prepared in accordance with Annex 11 of Regulation no. 7/2020, is attached to this report.
The total value of assets under Lion Capital's management as of September 30, 2024, amounted to RON 4,887.12m, which is 13.64% higher than the value as of December 31, 2023, when it reached RON 4,300.47m.

The first three areas of economic activity with significant weights in the total asset structure are the banking sector, investment management, and the real estate sector, which together account for 69.60% of total assets, up from 62.67% of total assets in December 2023. Exposure to the banking sector remains significant, with issuers in this sector and the financial instruments issued (equity instruments, deposits, and current accounts) accounting for 44.63% of TA as of September 2024. The increase is due to both the appreciation of the quotes of banking issuers and the collection of dividends related to these investments.
To reduce concentration risk exposure, the Fund maintains its investment diversification strategy by increasing allocations to underweight or zero-weight sectors.

Risk management requires assessing available input data and to evaluate them and their compliance with the risk limits and the overall risk profile embraced. The outcome of monitoring is reflected in periodic reports issued by the Risk Management Office and submitted to inform the senior management (Board of Directors and executive directors).
The person responsible for risk management analyses investment proposals prepared by the Investment Analysts to ensure that the risks associated with each investment position and their overall impact on the portfolio align with the investment objectives and risk profile approved by the Board of Directors.
In 2024, the Board of Directors paid an increased attention to monitoring the evolution of the risks to which the Fund is exposed, by promoting prudent behaviour and applying preventive measures aimed at mitigating or managing specific risks.
The risks identified and assessed through the general risk profile arise from daily activities as well as from achieving strategic objectives, potentially resulting in capital losses or lower investment performance relative to the risks assumed, with significant impact on the financial and/or reputational position of the Company.
The potential financial risks associated with the Fund's investment activities are grouped and generically defined as "investment risk", which includes: (i) market risk; (ii) liquidity risk; (iii) credit and counterparty risk.
In analysing investment risk and its potential materialization, all significant holdings of the Company have been structured according to relevant portfolios of financial instruments into 3 classes of instruments: (i) equity instruments: listed shares, unlisted shares; (ii) debt instruments: bonds (governmental, municipal, corporate), bank deposits (placements), units of funds issued by investment funds, (iii) derivative instruments for risk reduction/coverage/management – a category not represented in the portfolio in 2024.
For the risks associated with each class of mentioned instruments, the rules of identification, assessment, and monitoring described in the approved specific risk procedures are applied.
The Fund is exposed to the risk that the fair value of financial instruments held may fluctuate due to changes in market prices caused by either issuer-specific factors or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market. The risk of the PROXI-85 portfolio, a reference for price risk at the level of the traded equity portfolio, is analysed compared to the total risk of the BET-BK index as a future forecast of volatilities.
The market value of PROXI-85 increased by 19.5% from the beginning of the year to RON 2888.02m. The portfolio's risk decreased in the third quarter, as of 30.09.2024, VaR for the PROXI-85 portfolio was 8.37%. Tracking-error, indicating active management and representing the risk for the part of the PROXI-85 portfolio different from the BET-BK benchmark index, was of 5.08%, while Expected shortfall (Conditional VaR), indicating the potential loss of the portfolio in extreme cases exceeding the 99% confidence level, was of 10.28%, down from the half-year data.
The Fund is exposed to the risk that changes in market interest rates (EURIBOR 3M) may be reflected in the fair value or future cash flows for the portfolio of assets and debt instruments. The loan granted to SIF SPV TWO in EUR (financial asset) represents 0.7% of total assets and falls within a remaining maturity range of up to 5 years.
No derivative financial instruments were used for protection against interest rate fluctuations.
The value of the Fund's exposure to currency risk (instruments and financial assets denominated in euro: shares, loan granted to the subsidiary, as well as monetary instruments: deposits and current accounts) represents a weight of 10.03% of total assets as of September 2024, the exposure limit to currency risk, set through the risk profile for a medium to high level of currency risk appetite, being complied with.
No transactions with derivative instruments on exchange rates were carried out during the financial period presented.
The Fund's diversification policy applies to the portfolio structure, business model structure, and exposure structure to financial risks.
The top three areas of economic activity with significant weights in the total asset structure are the banking sector, investment management, and the real estate sector, accounting for 69.60% of total assets, up from 62.67% of total assets in December 2023. Exposure to the banking sector remains significant, with issuers from the banking sector and financial instruments issued (equity instruments, deposits, and current accounts) accounting for 44.63% in TA as of September 2024. The increase is due to both the appreciation of banking issuers' quotes and the collection of dividends.
To reduce concentration risk exposure, the Fund maintains its investment diversification strategy by increasing allocations to underweight or zero-weight sectors.
The Fund maintains an adequate level of liquidity to meet its support obligations, based on an assessment of the relative liquidity of assets in the market, taking careful consideration of the time needed for liquidation and the price or value at which the respective assets can be liquidated, as well as their sensitivity to market risks or other market factors. In the liquidity risk management process, the liquidity of the portfolio of financial instruments is analysed separately from the liquidity risk associated with payment obligations.
The liquidity profile of the equity portfolio is largely influenced by the liquidity of the market in which they are traded; only 11 companies in the portfolio, listed on the BVB, meeting the liquidity criterion regarding daily transactions.
The liquidity risk associated with the Fund's payment obligations is low, as current liabilities can be immediately covered by the balance of current accounts and short-term deposits. The total net LCR ratio as of September 30, 2024, is evaluated at 16.73, indicating a higher value of assets compared to current liabilities.
To limit/avoid liquidity risk, the company will permanently adopt a prudent cash outflow policy.
The Fund is exposed to credit and counterparty risk due to investments made in debt instruments issued by trading companies, current accounts and bank deposits, and other receivables. Credit risk is mitigated by placing the Fund's cash resources in at least 3 banks, with placements made at the top banks in the system, having ratings similar or close to the country rating (BBB+ and BB+ as confirmed by rating agencies in 2024).
Credit risk management is achieved through vigilant and constant monitoring of credit exposures to ensure that the Fund does not incur losses due to credit concentration in a particular sector or area of activity.
The assessment of credit risk indicators for counterparties based on exposure to unrated or nonrated issuers, representing 0.70% of total assets, and based on exposure to sectors of activity, representing 13.85% of total assets, reveals an expected loss of 0.204% of the exposure value.
No transactions were conducted with derivative financial instruments (exchange-traded or OTC), so the Fund is not subject to counterparty risk.
The company's objective is to manage operational risk in a manner that leads to limiting financial losses, avoiding damage to its reputation, achieving its investment objective, and generating benefits for investors.
Risk limits for operational risk subcategories (legal, professional, process/model, and associated with outsourced activities) are established as a result of Key Risk Indicator (KRI) evaluation, with a medium appetite for operational risk.
For the year 2024, based on the value of assets managed on the last working day of the previous year, Lion Capital has been classified by ASF (Financial Supervisory Authority) in the medium risk category for risks generated by IT systems. In March 2024, an internal assessment of operational risks generated by IT systems was conducted in accordance with ASF Regulation no. 4/2018 for the year 2023.
No operational risk events were reported or recorded in the third quarter of 2024.
Operational expenses associated with operational risks represented 0.001% of NAV (Net Asset Value), with an approved operational risk tolerance of 1% of NAV within the overall risk profile for a medium risk appetite.
The Company ensures that appropriate measures are taken to identify and assess risks related to money laundering and terrorist financing, considering risk factors such as those associated with clients, countries or geographic areas, products, services, transactions, or distribution channels, proportionate to the nature and scale of its activities. The ML/TF risk assessment associated with clients is conducted both at the initiation of a business relationship and subsequently, if any risk factors change during the course of the relationship.
Following the ML/TF risk assessment for the current reporting period, all business partners were found to have a low inherent risk (scoring between 0–5 points). Simplified customer due diligence and standard business relationship monitoring measures were applied. The total residual risk, after applying internal controls to the inherent risk, indicates that Lion Capital's exposure to ML/TF risk is low and falls within the risk appetite and limits approved by the Board of Directors.
Internal assessment of other types of risks not included in the main categories (market, credit, liquidity, operational) involves a qualitative assessment based on the impact they could have on the Fund's revenues, expenses, and asset value. Lion Capital takes necessary measures for the sustainability and development of the company in the existing conditions of the financial market, by monitoring cash flows and ensuring the adequacy of investment policies.
Risk avoidance and mitigation of their effects are ensured by the Company through an investment policy that complies with the prudential rules imposed by applicable laws and regulations.
During the reporting period, there were no breaches of risk limits at the overall risk profile level.
Through risk management, both through pre-investment due diligence and ex-post-monitoring, the Company ensures that portfolio management remains within appropriate risk parameters.
Lion Capital has implemented an Internal Regulatory Framework defining the processes for monitoring, verification, and reporting compliance with investment limits as per Article 35 par. (2) of AIF Law no. 243/2019, approved by the Board of Directors.
Verification and reporting of compliance with investment limits are conducted monthly, along with the calculation and reporting of the Fund's assets and liabilities situation to senior management and operational departments. Upon request from the BCR custodian, the report is also forwarded to them for double-checking.
The person responsible for risk management analyses investment proposals prepared by the Investment Officers to ensure that the risks associated with each investment position and their overall impact on the portfolio align with the approved investment objectives and risk profile by the Board of Directors.
The risk opinion, which includes an analysis of investment proposals and verifies compliance with both the holding limits specified in Article 35 art. (2) of Law no. 243/2019 and the investment risk limits defined by the overall risk profile, together with the Investment Memorandum, are the documents based on which investments are approved according to decision-making and signature competencies within the company.
The exposure exceeding 10% on instruments issued by the same issuer is on Banca Transilvania, (largest weight in TA of 24.82%), and together with SIF Imobiliare PLC (8.65% weight in TA). These shareholdings jointly represent an exposure of 33.46% of TA, without exceeding the upper limit of 80%.
The Fund has an exposure of 25.30% of total assets to instruments issued by the Lion Group (subsidiaries), within the legal limit of 40% of total assets.
As of September 30, 2024, the Fund has a total exposure of 0.652 of total assets on the BVB (Bucharest Stock Exchange) group consisting of the market operator Bucharest Stock Exchange, the Romanian Securities Depository (Depozitarul Central SA), and the central counterparty CCP.RO. Lion Capital holds a total of 451,700 shares issued by BVB, meaning a stake of 5.1016% of the issuer's share capital, a total of 9,878,329 shares issued by Depozitarul Central, standing for a stake of 3.9057% of the issuer's share capital, and a total of 142,500 shares issued by the central counterparty CCP.RO, standing for stake of 1.5897% of the issuer's share capital.
Participation units issued by UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) and AIFs (Alternative Investment Funds) represent a proportion of 7.17% of the Fund's total assets. Limits vary depending on the type of AIF between 10-50% of TA (Total Assets), which have not been exceeded.
Untraded securities and money market instruments represent 10.60% of total assets, while the legal limit is 40% of TA.
Throughout the reporting period, Lion Capital's portfolio of assets has complied with the current legal provisions regarding permitted investments and holding limits specified by Law no. 243/2019, Law no. 24/2017, and ASF Regulation no. 3/2016.
Through the Simplified Prospectus and the Rules of the Fund, Lion Capital has stipulated that it does not use substantially (continuously and consistently) the leverage effect, defined as any method by which the AIFM increases the exposure of an AIF it manages either by loan of cash or securities, or by positions of derivative financial instruments or by any other means, in the process of portfolio management, respectively the methods used to increase the portfolio exposure will comply with the average risk profile chosen.
In 2024, the Company has not used financing operations through financial instruments and has not invested in Total Return Swap instruments as defined by Regulation (EU) no. 2365/2015. The Fund cannot make short sales, defined according to the provisions of Regulation (EU) no. 236/2012 aspects of credit risk swaps, other than for the purpose of hedging (risks).
As of 30 September 2024, the leverage ratio calculated using the gross method was 96.46%. Deposits with maturities under 3 months, earning interest above a 3-month government bond, were excluded from total exposure in accordance with Article 7(a) of EU Regulation 231/2013. Using the commitment method, the leverage ratio stood at 100%.
Lion Capital does not consider the potential negative effects of investment decisions on sustainability factors, as described in EU Regulation 2088/2019, for the following reasons: (i) the requirements for financial market participants set out by SFDR and supplemented by the Taxonomy Regulation cover only environmental aspects and not social and labour aspects or governance issues; (ii) data and information regarding sustainable classified issuers or financial products are limited and inconsistent; (iii) the complexity of the requirements outlined in the published regulations and in the draft technical standards requires additional time to adapt sustainability risk analysis and reporting processes.
The Fund continuously analyses and evaluates portfolio issuers based on ESG criteria, depending on their available ESG scores and non-financial reports.
The ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) risk assessment model for the portfolio has been expanded to cover exposures exceeding RON 10m, representing a total of 19 equity issuers with a combined weight of approximately 80% of total assets under management. Among these, 4 issuers have received ESG scores from Sustainalytics, while 9 issuers have published reports on sustainability.
The ESG risk score of the equity portfolio indicates a low risk. The quarterly risk reports presented to the Board of Directors and directors include the ESG risk matrix.
The qualitative assessment of organizational-level sustainability risk was based on the analysis of the impact of asset management activities on the environment and the measures taken by the Company to manage social, diversity, and sustainable governance issues. Thus, the risk is assessed as low.
On 5 September 2024, Lion Capital announced that, in order to execute the resolutions of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) no. 4 dated April 27, 2023 and no. 3 dated April 29, 2024, it had submitted to the Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF) the Public Offer Document to buy back 2,490,000 of its own shares, along with the relevant documentation.

1) Current liquidity ratio provides the guarantee of covering current liabilities from current assets. The value at the end of the first nine months of 2024 was of 31.99. This is due to the high level of current assets as of September 30, 2024, as there were significant amounts of liquidity in bank accounts and deposits.
2) Debt to equity ratio, a measure of credit risk management effectiveness, indicates potential financing and liquidity risks that could affect the Company's ability to meet its contractual obligations. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding debt, resulting in a zero debt to equity ratio.
3) The accounts-receivable turnover indicates the effectiveness of the company in collecting its receivables, respectively the number of days until the debtors pay their debt to the company.
For the turnover, the company's income and gains as of September 30, 2024, were used.
Turnover ratio calculated as of September 30, 2024, was of 24 days.
4) Non-current assets turnover measures the efficiency of non-current assets management by analysing the turnover(value of income and gains) generated per unit of non-current assets.

These condensed interim financial statements as of September 30, 2024, were prepared up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the European Union and the Norm no. 39/2015 for the approval of accounting regulations in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF), applicable to entities authorized, regulated and supervised by ASF in the Financial Instruments and Investments Sector (the Norm) and with the requirements of IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting" and must be read together with the separate financial statements for the year 2023.
In accordance with Regulation no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union of July 19, 2002, as well as with Law no. 24/2017 on issuers of financial instruments and market operations from 2017, the Company has to prepare and submit to the Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF) annual consolidated financial statements, in accordance with IFRS, within 4 months from the end of the financial year financial. The company prepared and made public the consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2023.

The Company prepared and published its financial statements as of June 30, 2024, on August 31 (separate) and September 29 (consolidated).
The business segments are reported in a manner compatible with internal reporting, analysed by the Company's main decision-maker (the Board of Directors), which is responsible for allocating resources and evaluating the performance of the operating segments. Reportable segments whose income, result or assets are ten or more percent of all segments are reported separately. The Company manages all activities as a single reportable business segment.
The Company has adopted a presentation based on liquidity in the condensed interim separate statement of financial position and a presentation of income and expenses according to their nature in the interim condensed separate statement of comprehensive income, considering that these methods of presentation provide information that is reliable and more relevant than the information presented on other methods allowed by IAS 1 "Presentation of financial statements".
The condensed interim separate financial statements are prepared on a fair value basis convention, for the financial assets and liabilities, at fair value through profit and loss or by other comprehensive income.
Other financial assets and liabilities, as well as non-financial assets and liabilities, are stated at amortized cost, revaluated amount, or historical cost.
The Company's management considers that the functional currency, as defined by IAS 21 "The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", is the Romanian Leu (RON or lei). The condensed interim financial statements are presented in RON, rounded to the nearest unit, which is the presentation currency chosen by the Company's management.
The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements pursuant to IFRS requires that management makes estimates, judgements, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies as well as the reported value of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses.
Such estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the given circumstances. The result of these estimates forms the basis of judgments used in assessing the carrying value of assets and liabilities for which no other evaluation sources are available. Actual results may differ from the estimated values.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are revised on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised, if the revision affects only that period or if the period of the revision and future periods are affected the revision affects both current and future periods. Judgments made by the management in applying IFRS having a significant impact on the separate financial statements and the estimates that involve a significant risk of a material adjustment in the next year are presented in the Notes to the condensed interim financial statements.
The Company has adopted the document "Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2)" as of January 1, 2023. The management has reviewed the accounting policies in this context, and the Amendments have not resulted in changes to the accounting policies themselves.
The Amendments require the disclosure of accounting policies with a "material impact" rather than "significant" accounting policies. Additionally, the Amendments provide guidance on applying the concept of "materiality" in the presentation of accounting policies.
The adopted accounting policies are applied consistently across all periods presented in these separate financial statements.
The accounting policies used in these condensed interim separate financial statements are the consistent with those of the separate financial statements prepared as of December 31, 2023.
• investments in equity instruments (e.g. shares)
As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the shares are measured at fair value through the profit and loss account or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
• investments in debt instruments (e.g. securities, bonds, loans)
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, investments in debt instruments held are valued at fair value through profit and loss.
For more details see the chapters below.
Financial assets held are presented by the Company as per IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" as financial assets and financial liabilities.
The Company presents the financial assets at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income, or at fair value through profit and loss on the basis of:
Business model for the shares held for which the option FVTOCI was selected at the date of transition or the date of initial recognition.
• Effective management of a diversified portfolio of quality assets, able to ensure a constant flow of income, preservation, and medium-long term growth of capital, to increase value for shareholders and obtain the highest returns on invested capital.
The differentiated approach adopted by the Company for each of its holdings aims at the fruition of an aggregate yield, generated from dividend income and capital gain.
It comprises criteria measuring to what extent the structure of the cash flows of a debt instrument classifies within the model of the base credit agreement (the interest reflects the value of money in time, credit risk associated with the principal, coverage of other risks and costs associated with lending and a profit margin).
There are some ratios indicating the case in which the debt instruments held should be measured at fair value through profit and loss:
There are also ratios that, although they would require a registration at fair value, could comply, under certain circumstances, with the SPPI criterion and so the respective assets should be further accounted for at amortized cost:
A financial asset must be measured at fair value through profit and loss, except if it is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
A financial asset, such as debt instruments, must be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both conditions presented below are met:
The company can make an irrevocable choice upon the initial recognition in case of certain investments in equity instruments that otherwise would have been measured at fair value through profit or loss to present the subsequent changes of fair value in other comprehensive income (according to pt. 5.7.5 and 5.7.6 of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments).
A financial asset must be measured at amortized cost if both conditions below are met:
Financial liabilities are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) if they:
The other financial debts are measured at amortized cost.
The assets and liabilities are recognized on the date when the Company becomes a contractual party to the conditions of the respective instrument. When the Company recognizes a financial asset for the first time, it must classify it according to pt. 4.1.1 - 4.1.5 (at amortized cost, at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income) of IFRS 9 and to assess it according to pt. 5.1.1-5.1.3. (a financial asset or financial liability is measured at fair value adding or subtracting the transaction costs, directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the asset or liability).
Upon initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. This option is applied on an instrumentby-instrument basis, as applicable.
At the transition date to IFRS 9, shares that were classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 were measured in accordance with IFRS 9 at fair value through other comprehensive income, depending on the specific circumstances. These securities are primarily held for the long term and have been designated to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
All financial assets that are not classified as being measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as described above, will be measured at fair value through profit and loss. Additionally, upon initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which would otherwise meet the requirements, to be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, to be measured at fair value through profit and loss, if this eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
After the initial recognition, the entity must measure (evaluate) the financial assets according to pt. 4.1.1 – 4.1.5 of IFRS 9 at:
After the initial recognition, the entity must measure the financial liabilities according to pt. 4.2.1-4.2.2 of IFRS 9. Thus, the Company will classify all financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for:
a) the financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss;
b) the financial liabilities that appear when the transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition;
c) financial collateral contracts valued at the highest value of the loss provision (Section 5.5 of IFRS 9) and the amount initially recognized less accumulated income (recognized under IFRS 15);
d) commitments to provide a loan at an interest rate below the market value measured at the highest value of the loss provision (Section 5.5 of IFRS 9) and the amount initially recognized less accumulated income (recognized under IFRS 15)
e) contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies.
The amortized cost of a financial asset or of a financial liability is the value at which the financial asset or the financial liability is measured after the initial derecognition minus the reimbursement of principal, plus or minus the accumulated amortization using the effective interest method for each difference between the initial value and the value at due date, and minus any reduction for estimated credit losses.
The effective interest rate represents the rate that precisely updates the future proceeds in cash during the forecasted life of the financial instrument up to the level of the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or of the financial liability. For the calculation of the effective interest rate, the entity must estimate the cash flows considering all contractual conditions of the financial instrument but must not consider the future losses from the changes in credit risk. The calculation includes all commissions paid or cashed by the contracting parties that make integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all the other premiums and discounts.
Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to settle a debt within a transaction occurred under normal conditions between the participants in the main market, on the measurement date, or in the absence of the main market, on the most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date.
The company measures the fair value of a financial instrument using the prices quoted on an active market for that instrument. A financial instrument has an active market if for that instrument quoted prices are readily available and regularly. The company measures the instruments quoted on the active markets using the closing price.
A financial instrument is considered as being quoted on an active market when the quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, association within the industry, a service for establishing the prices or a regulatory agency, and these prices reflect the transactions occurring actually and regularly, performed under objective market conditions.
Within the category of shares quoted on an active market, all those shares admitted to trading on the Stock Exchange or on the alternative market having frequent transactions are included. The market price used to determine the fair value is the closing price of the market on the last trading day before the measurement date.
The fund units are measured according to the Unitary Net Asset Value, calculated by the fund administrator using the closing quotations for the quoted financial instruments.
Government securities (bonds) are measured based on the market quotation available on Bloomberg for the respective item, multiplied by the unit nominal value.
In the absence of a price quotation on an active market, the Company uses valuation techniques. The fair value of the financial assets not traded on an active market is determined by authorized valuators.
The valuation techniques include techniques based on the use of observable inputs, such as the quoted price of the identical element held by another party as asset, on a market that is not active, and for the assets for which the observable prices are not available, measurements techniques based on the analysis of the updated cash flows, and other measurement methods used regularly by the market participants. These include the method of comparisons with similar instruments for which there is an observable market price or the percentage method of the net assets of these companies adjusted with a discount for minority ownership and a discount for lack of liquidity, using at maximum the market information, being based at minimum on the specific company information. The Company uses evaluation techniques that maximize the use of observable data and minimize the use of nonobservable data.
The valuation techniques are used consistently.
The Company employs the following hierarchy of methods to measure fair value:
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices or on prices quoted by intermediaries (brokers).
The fair value of the financial instruments for which there is no active market (Level 3) and those that are not traded is determined by external appraisers using techniques based on the present net value, the discounted cash flow method, the method of comparisons with similar instruments for which there is an observable market price. Valuation techniques are used consistently, there are no changes in their application.
An analysis of the financial instruments and investment property recognized at fair value according to the valuation method is presented in the following table:

The Company applies the impairment provisions for the recognition of the provision for losses corresponding to the assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (debt instruments that meet the criteria of pt. 4.1.2A of IFRS 9 – assets held to collect the cash flows and to sale, whose cash flows represent exclusively principal reimbursement or interest payments). The provision so determined is recognized considering other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount (book value) of the financial asset from the statement of the financial position.
On each reporting date, the Company assesses the credit loss allowance for a financial instrument to ensure it reflects:
The credit losses forecasted for a 12-month period, if the credit risk has not increased significantly as of the initial recognition;
The credit losses forecasted during the entire life if the credit risk has increased significantly as of the initial recognition.
The Company recognizes in profit and loss, as gain or loss from impairment, the value of the forecasted, recognized, or reversed losses, required to adjust the provision for losses on the reporting date up to the level required by the provisions of IFRS 9.
The Company measures the expected credit losses of a financial instrument so that it represents:
An impartial value, resulted from the weighting of more possible results depending on the probabilities related thereto;
The time value of money;
The Company may assume that the credit risk for a financial instrument has not increased significantly as of the initial recognition if the financial instrument is considered to have a low edit risk on the reporting date. A financial instrument is considered to have a low credit risk if:
The debtor has a high capacity to meet the obligations associated with short-term contractual cash flow;
Unfavourable changes in the business and the business environment may, but not necessarily, reduce the debtor's ability to meet its obligations.
In the assessment of low credit risk for issuers, no real collateral is considered. At the same time, financial instruments are not considered to be of low risk only because they have a lower risk than the other instruments issued by the debtor or in comparison with the credit risk prevailing in the geographical region or the jurisdiction in which it operates.
In the credit risk assessment, the company uses both external credit risk ratings and internal evaluations that are consistent with generally accepted definitions of credit risk.
The gain or loss on the disposal of a financial asset or financial liability measured at fair value through profit and loss is recognised in the current profit or current loss.
Upon derecognition of equity instruments designated as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, any gains or losses, representing favourable or unfavourable valuation differences recorded in revaluation reserves, are recognised in other comprehensive income (retained earnings representing net realised surplus - IFRS 9).
Upon derecognition of financial assets, the retained earnings from the date of transition to IFRS 9 are transferred to retained earnings representing realised surplus.
A gain or loss on a financial asset measured at amortised cost is recognised in the current profit or current loss when the asset is derecognised.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the rights to receive cash flows from that financial asset expires, or when the Company transferred the rights to receive the contractual cash flows corresponding to that financial asset in a transaction in which it significantly transferred all risks and benefits of the ownership right.
Any interest in the transferred financial assets retained by the Company or created for the Company is recognized separately as an asset or liability.
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when the contractual obligations ended or when the contractual obligations are cancelled or expire.
Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities is accounted for using the weighted average cost method. This method entails calculating the value of each item based on a weighted average of the value of similar items in stock at the beginning of the period and the value of similar items purchased during the period.
Gains or losses resulting from a change in the fair value of a financial asset or of a financial liability that is not part of a hedging relationship are recognized as follows:
Gains on shares measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized as follows:
Gains on debt instruments (bonds):
Changes in fair value (including exchange rate) in other comprehensive income
Interest income is recognized in profit and loss
When the asset is derecognized, the accumulated losses or gains previously recognized in other comprehensive income:
When the financial assets accounted for at amortized cost are impaired or derecognized, as well as through their amortization process, the Company recognizes a gain or a loss in the profit and loss account (income statement).
As regards the recognized financial assets using the settlement date accounting, no change of the fair value of the asset to be received during the period between the trading date and the settlement date is recognized for the assets carried at cost or at amortized cost (except for impairment losses). But for the assets accounted for at fair value, the change in fair value must be recognized in profit and loss or in equity, as the case may be.
Other financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The risk management activity can be found in the Company organizational structure, and it addresses both general and specific risks.
The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed to are the credit risk, the liquidity risk, and the market risk. The market risk includes the foreign currency risk, the interest rate risk, and the price risk of the equity instruments. This note provides information on the Company's exposure to each of the above-mentioned risks, the Company's objectives and policies, and the risk assessment and risk management processes.
The company uses various policies and procedures for managing and measuring the types of risk to which it is exposed. These policies and procedures are presented in the subchapter dedicated to each type of risk.
Market risk is the present or future risk of recording losses balance and off-balance sheet related due to adverse movements in market price (such as stock prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates). Company's management sets the limits on the value of risk that may be accepted, which are regularly monitored. However, the use of this approach does not prevent losses outside these limits in the event of more significant market movements.
Position risk is associated with financial instruments portfolio held by the Company with intention to benefit from positive price movements of those financial assets or potential dividends/coupons issued by entities. The Company is exposed to general position risk as well as to the specific one, due to short term investments made in bonds, shares, and fund units.
The management has pursued and permanently aims to reduce to a minimum the possible adverse effects related to this financial risk, through an active procedure of diversifying prudently the investment portfolio and by using one or more technics of diminishing of the risk through trading activity or market prices evolution related to financial instruments held by the Company.
Concentration risk concerns all assets held by the Company, regardless of the period of holding them, and mitigating this risk is intended the avoidance of a too large exposure on the same debtor/entity at Company level.
The management's policy of diversifying exposures is applied to the portfolio structure, business structure, as well as the structure of financial risks exposure. Thus, this diversifying policy implies avoiding excessive exposures on a single debtor, issuer, country, or geographical area; diversifying business structure pursues the avoidance at Company's level the excessive exposure against a specific type of business/sector; diversifying the structure of financial risks intends to avoid excessive exposure against a certain financial risk.
The market risk of equity instruments is mainly the result of shares measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and through profit and loss. Entities in which the Company holds shares operate in various industries.
The objective of market risk management is to control and manage market risk exposures in acceptable parameters to the extent that profitability is optimized.
The Company's strategy for managing market risk is driven by its investment objective, and the market risk is managed in accordance with its policies and procedures.
The Company is exposed to the following categories of market risk:
Price risk is the risk of losses in both balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions due to changes in asset prices.
The Company is exposed to the risk of fair value of financial instruments fluctuation due to changes in market prices, whether caused by factors specific to the activity of its issuer or factors impacting all instruments traded in the market.
The Board of Directors monitors the market risk management, and the internal procedures require that when price risks are not consistent with the Company's investment policy and principles, the portfolio must be rebalanced.
A positive change of 10% in the price of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (shares of subsidiaries, associates, fund units and corporate bonds) would lead to an increase in profit after tax by RON 137,927,216 (December 31, 2023: RON 175,932,492), a negative change of 10% having an equal net impact in the opposite direction.
A positive change of 10% in the prices of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, investments in shares and corporate bonds, would lead to an increase in equity, net of tax, of RON 58,066,819 (December 31, 2023: RON 159,234,850), a negative change of 10% having an equal net impact in the opposite direction.
The company holds stakes in companies operating in various sectors. As of September 30, 2024, the Company mainly holds shares in companies in the banking-financial and insurance field, having a weight of 51.1% on the total portfolio, close to the level as of December 31, 2023.

The total value growth of the portfolio under management compared to the end of the previous year is due to the progress of capital markets during first nine months of the year and the purchases made during the period.
As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company holds fund units amounting to RON 350,541,175 (December 31, 2023: RON 395,546,142) in following investment funds: ACTIVE PLUS (alternative investment fund with private equity), OPTIMINVEST (alternative investment fund with private equity), STAR VALUE (open-ended alternative investment fund),CERTINVEST SHARES (open-ended alternative investment fund), and Romania Strategy Fund (closed-ended alternative investment fund). The Company is exposed to price risk in terms of placements made with different risk degrees by these Investment Funds.
Interest rate risk is the risk that revenues or expenses, or the value of assets or liabilities of the Company fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
As regards the interest-bearing financial instruments: the interest rate risk consists of the risk of fluctuation recorded in the value of a financial instrument due to changes in interest rates and risk differences between the maturity of interest-bearing financial assets and interest-bearing liabilities. However, the interest rate risk may also affect the value of assets bearing fixed interest rates (e.g. bonds) so that an increase in interest rate on the market will determine a decrease in the value of future cash flows generated by them and may lead to their price reduction if it increases the preference of investors to place their funds in bank deposits or other instruments whose interest has
grown, and vice versa - a reduction in interest rate on the market may increase the price of shares and bonds and will lead to an increase in the fair value of future cash flows.
With respect to the fixed interest-bearing assets or tradable assets, the Company is exposed to the risk that fair value of future cash flows related to financial instruments will fluctuate following the changes in market interest rates. However, most financial assets of the Company are in stable currencies whose interest rates are unlikely to vary significantly.
Thus, the Company will be subject to limited exposure to the fair value interest rate risk or to future cash flows due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for protection against interest rate fluctuations.

Currency risk is the risk of loss or failure to achieve the estimated profit because of unfavourable exchange rate fluctuations. The Company invests in financial instruments and performs transactions which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, thus being exposed to risks that the exchange rate of the national currency in relation to another currency might adversely affect the fair value or future cash flows of that share of financial assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies.
In the reporting periods the company conducted transactions in Romanian currency (RON) and in foreign currencies. The Company has not carried out any exchange rate derivative transaction during the financial periods presented.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company faces difficulties in meeting obligations arising from short-term financial liabilities that are settled by payment in cash or other financial means, or the risk that such obligations are settled in an unfavourable manner for the Company.
The company monitors the progress of its liquidity levels to be able to meet its payment obligations at due date, and constantly analyses its assets and liabilities, based on the remaining period to the contractual maturities.
In the current economic context, the Company's management has adopted a prudent policy of monetary investmentsmanagement, maintaining a weight of available liquidity in total assets allowing at any time the coverage of any outstanding payment obligations and a liquidity reserve to provide the financing of any attractive investment opportunities.
The breakdown of assets and liabilities was analysed based on the remaining period from the balance sheet date to contractual maturity date, both as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, as follows:

By the nature of the business object, the Company is exposed to various types associated to financial instruments and to market on which it invests.
The main types of risks the Company is exposed to are:
The risk management has in view the maximization of Company's profit in relation to the risk level it is exposed to.
The Company uses various management and measurement policies and procedures for the risk types it is exposed to. These policies and procedures are presented in the subchapter dedicated to each type of risk.
Starting with 1 January 2007, following Romania's accession to the European Union, the Company had to comply with the EU regulations and, therefore, prepared to implement changes brought by the European legislation. The Company has implemented these changes, but their implementation remains open to tax audit for 5 years.
Interpretation of texts and practical implementation of the procedures of the new applicable tax regulations could vary and there is a risk that in some cases the tax authorities might adopt a position different from that of the Company.
In terms of income tax there is a risk of different interpretation by the tax authorities to accounting treatments that were determined by the transition to IFRS as an accounting basis.
In addition, the Romanian Government has several agencies authorized to conduct audits (controls) of companies operating in Romania. These controls are similar to tax audits in other countries and may extend not only to tax matters but also to other legal and regulatory issues of interest to these agencies. The Company may be subject to tax audits as new tax regulations are issued.
Lion Capital's management cannot predict all the effects of the international economic developments with an impact on the financial sector in Romania but has confidence in that in the first six months of 2024 has adopted the necessary measures for the Company's sustainability and development under the present state of the financial market by monitoring its cash flows and adapting its investment policies.
Risk avoidance and mitigation of their effects are ensured by the company through an investment policy complying with the prudential rules imposed by the applicable laws and regulations in force.
Lion Capital has adopted risk management policies through which risks are actively managed, by implementing specific risk identification, evaluation, measurement, and control procedures meant to provide reasonable assurance with respect to the achievement of the Company's objectives, thus seeking a consistent balance between risk and expected profit.
The risk management aims at: (i) identifying and assessing significant risks with major impact in achieving the target investment and developing activities to counter the risk identified; (ii) adapting the risk management policies to the developments in the financial capital market, monitoring performance and improving risk management procedures; (iii) reviewing investment decisions in line with the development of the capital and money market; (iv) compliance with the legislation in force.
Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss resulting from deficiencies or weaknesses in procedures, personnel, the Company's internal systems, or from external events that can have an impact on its operations. Operational risks arise from all the Company's activities.
The Company's objective is to manage the operational risk so as to limit financial loss, not damage its reputation and achieve the investment objective of generating benefits for investors.
The primary responsibility for implementation and development of control over the operational risk lies with the Board of Directors. This responsibility is supported by the development of general standards of operational risk management, which includes controls and processes at service providers and service engagements with service providers.
The management's policy with respect to capital adequacy focuses on maintaining a sound capital base to support the ongoing development of the Company and attain the investment objectives.
The Company's equity includes the share capital, various types of reserves and the retained earnings. Equity amounted to RON 4,624,701,936 as of September 30, 2024 (RON 4,100,371,784 as of December 31, 2023).
As per IFRS 9, and since the Company has opted to measure shareholdings through other comprehensive income, dividends from these shareholdings are recognized as income unless they are a substantially recovery of the cost of investment.
Dividend income is recorded as gross value. The tax rate for dividends from companies was of 0% and 8% (2023: 0%, 8% and 27.5%). The breakdown of dividend income on the main counterparties is shown in the table below:
