Šiaulių Bankas AB was registered as a public company in the Enterprise Register of the Republic of Lithuania on 4 February 1992. The Bank is licensed by the Bank of Lithuania to perform all banking operations provided for in the Law on Banks of the Republic of Lithuania and the Charter of the Bank. In this document, Šiaulių Bankas AB is referred to as the Bank, Šiaulių Bankas AB and its subsidiaries (described in more detail in Note 2) - the Group.
The Head Office of the Bank is located in Šiauliai, Tilžės str. 149, LT-76348. At the end of the reporting period the Bank had 54 customer service outlets (31 December 2024: 54 outlets). As at 31 March 2025 the Bank had 1,119 employees (31 December 2024: 1,090). As at 31 March 2025 the Group had 1,268 employees (31 December 2024: 1,239 employees).
The Bank accepts deposits, issues loans, makes money transfers and documentary settlements, exchanges currencies for its clients, issues and processes debit and credit cards, is engaged in trade finance and is investing and trading in securities, as well as performs other activities set forth in the Law on Banks of the Republic of Lithuania and the Charter of the Bank.
The Bank's shares are listed on the Baltic Main List of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.
This condensed interim financial information for the three months period ended 31 March 2025 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU. The condensed interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by EU. Except for the points described below, all the accounting policies applied in the preparation of this condensed interim financial information are consistent with those of the annual financial statements of the Bank for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Income tax in the interim periods is accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
The Bank's management do not believe that newly published standards, amendments and interpretations that are mandatory for the Group's and Bank's reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025 will have a material impact on the Group's and Bank's financial statements, also there are no new standards, amendments and interpretations that are mandatory for the Group and the Bank with effect from 2025, and that would have a material impact on the Group's and the Bank's financial information.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current event and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made in applying Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the financial statements as at and for the period ended 31 March 2025, except for judgements and estimations used for calculation of impairment, which were revised to reflect the most recent economic forecasts. These judgements and estimates are described in more detail in Notes 1 and 10. It should be noted that at the moment of producing the financial reports there was no full clarity regarding further development scenarios of Russia invasion to Ukraine and uncertainties regarding further global, country and sector development trends existed, therefore there is a significant probability that actual results may deviate from the estimated.
These financial statements combine the consolidated financial statements for the Group and stand-alone financial statements of the Bank. Such format of reporting was adopted to ensure consistency of presentation with the format prescribed by the Bank of Lithuania and applied for statutory reporting.
No significant amounts of the Group's and the Bank's income or expenses are of a substantial seasonal nature.

NOTE 1 LOANS TO CUSTOMERS AND FINANCE LEASE RECEIVABLES
Credit risk is defined as the risk for the Group to incur losses due to the Group's customers' failure to fulfil their financial obligations towards the Group. Credit exposures arise principally in lending activities and it is the most significant risk in the Group's banking activities. There is also credit risk in investment activities that arise from debt securities and in the Group's asset portfolio as well as in the offbalance sheet financial instruments, such as loan commitments, guarantees and letters of credit.
The Bank regularly reviews its credit risk management policies which include lending policies, credit risk limit control, other credit risk mitigation measures as well as the internal control and internal audit of credit risk management.
The Bank takes risks only in the fields, which are well known to it and where it has long-term experience, trying to avoid excessive risk in transactions that can have negative influence to the big portion of shareholders' equity but seeks the sufficient profitability which, in terms of increasing competition, would ensure the stable Bank's position in the market and would increase the Bank's value. In assessing exposure to credit risk, the Bank adheres to the principle of prudence.
The aim of the Bank's credit risk management policy is to ensure that the conflict between interests of staff or structural units is avoided. With respect to provision of credits to clients, the principle stating that profit should not be earned at the expense of excessive credit risk is observed.
Maximum exposure to credit risk before collateral held or other credit enhancements:

Loans are assigned to stages using the following principles (a deviation from these principles is allowed in the process of individual loan assessment based on contract-specific circumstances if it would result in more precise assessment of the risk of the contract):
Stage 1 loans: loans with no increase in credit risk observed.
Stage 2 loans: loans with an increase in credit risk observed. Main reasons for determining an increase in credit risk are: deterioration of borrower's financial status from the initial (this criteria is not applicable to the low credit risk loans, i.e. loans that have internal borrower's financial status assessment grades "very good" or "good" or investment grade credit ratings by external credit rating agencies), payment delay of over 30 days, and other objective criteria showing an increase in credit risk.
Stage 3 loans: defaulted loans. Main reasons for determining a default are: payment delay of over 90 days, bankruptcy of the borrower, termination of the contract, start of the foreclosure procedures and other objective criteria.
As lending activities are oriented to Lithuanian market, the Bank and the Group held no significant direct loan positions in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Potential risk assessment for separate sectors has not demonstrated economic sectors for which risk would be increased. Due to potential increase in credit risk the Bank has individually assessed clients with loans and finance lease contracts which have medium or high dependency from countries mentioned above through supply or sales chains or through shareholders structure and if increase in risk was determined credit stages for certain clients were reduced.

On 25th September 2024, Šiaulių bankas AB repaid a EUR 478.81 million loan taken out under the ECB's TLTRO III programme. The funds were borrowed for a period of three years, starting on 29th September 2021. The final interest rate set on the loan was 1.8475%. The objective of the TLTRO III programme was to decrease and support bank lending to businesses and individuals during times of economic instability. After this repayment, Šiaulių bankas has no outstanding loans under the TLTRO III programme.

The special funds should be returned to the institutions which have placed them upon the first requirement of the latter. The decrease in special and lending funds from EUR 23,037 thousand in the beginning of the year to EUR 12,785 thousand in the end of the reporting period is attributable to routine fluctuations in these funds.

As environmental factors changed, assumptions and estimates used in probability of default (PD) estimations were changed. The scenarios used to calculate PDs were based on the latest available economic change scenarios published by institutions, Group's management assigned judgement-based probabilities to these scenarios. It should be noted that economic forecasts used took into account ongoing Russia's invasion to Ukraine but without knowing result scenario of it significant uncertainties existed on how it will impact further global, country and sectors development trends. Due to such circumstances there is a significant probability that actual results may deviate from the estimated.

Liquidity risk means the risk that the Bank is unable to meet its financial obligations in time or that it will not manage to receive financial resources during a short time by borrowing or selling the assets.
The liquidity risk management depends on the Bank's ability to cover the cash shortage by borrowing from the market and the liquidity of the market itself. Liquidity risk management is regulated by the Procedures for Liquidity Risk Management approved by the Board of the Bank. The management of the current and non-current liquidity risk is distinguished in the mentioned procedures. The current liquidity is based on the control of the incoming and outgoing cash flow. The non-current liquidity is managed on the limit system basis.
Tables below present the assets and liabilities according to their remaining maturity defined in the agreements. However, actual maturity of the particular types of assets and liabilities may be longer as, for example a portion of loans and deposits is extended and thus the real repayment terms of short-term loans and demand deposits move forward.

The structure of the Bank's assets and liabilities by maturity as at 31 December 2024 was as follows:
Operational risk is the risk of loss due to inadequate or unimplemented internal control processes, staff errors and/or malpractice, and information system failures, or due to the impact of external events. Operational risk, unlike other risks (credit, market, liquidity), is not taken on purposefully with the expectation of gain, but arises spontaneously in the course of the Bank's business.
In 2024, the Bank paid particular attention to strengthening the culture of operational and reputational risk across the Bank Group. At the beginning of the year, e-learning on operational risk management was updated and made available to all Group companies. The focus continued to be on improving outsourcing management processes, involving all Group companies. These processes have been updated in line with the requirements of the Digital Operational Resilience in the Financial Sector Regulation (DORA) for ICT services. In January 2025, the updated Outsourcing and ICT Service Management Procedures were approved.
Business continuity management remains one of the Bank's key priority areas. In 2024, a comprehensive business continuity testing exercise was carried out, which was successful and did not reveal any material weaknesses in the business continuity management. In January 2025, the Comprehensive Testing Report and the Action Plan were presented, approved by the RMC and presented to the Bank's Board. In March 2025, the Business Continuity Organisation Procedure was updated and the Crisis Management Action Plan was developed and approved.
In order to ensure that business continuity recovery plans are effective and properly implemented in crisis situations, the Bank and Group companies regularly conduct tests and exercises. This allows to prepare in advance for potential crises and to ensure that the plans function as intended. To achieve this, the Bank is developing a Group Business Continuity Testing Programme, which was approved by the RMC in March 2025.
In order to enhance resilience and ensure operational stability, the Bank's business continuity, outsourcing and ICT management services, and operational and reputational risk culture will continue to be further developed and ensured at a comprehensive Group-wide level in 2025.
Types of inputs used in valuation techniques determine the following fair value hierarchy:
During three months period ended 31 March 2025 the process of fair value measurement did not change significantly as compared to the process described in annual financial statements for the year 2024. For the valuation of financial assets and liabilities purposes, estimates, valuation techniques and inputs used to develop those measurements have not changed significantly if compared to those described in annual financial statements for the year 2024.

Homepage › Bank Investors › Financial Information › Alternative Performance Measures
"We are about to take a historic step by becoming Artea in early May. This is more than just a new name. It is a strategic initiative to strengthen our relationship with private and corporate clients, the public and investors, and to become the first choice bank for customers in Lithuania.
We are fully focused on this important strategic change from the beginning of the year, which we believe will support long-term business. Our first quarter were in line with our market guidance," says Vytautas Sinius, Chief Executive Officer of Šiaulių bankas.
Šiaulių Bankas Group earned unaudited net profit of €17.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, which is 21% less than in the corresponding period of 2024. Operating profit before impairment and income tax amounted to €24.5 million, down 18% compared to an operating profit of €30.0 million in the corresponding period of 2024.
Net fee and commission income in Q1 2025 grew by 17% y-o-y to over €7.5 million, while net interest income decreased by 13% y-o-y to €34.4 million.
All loan book segments grew during the quarter, with the total loan portfolio increasing by 2% (€76 million) to €3.5 billion. New credit agreements signed in the first quarter amounted to €0.4 million, 6% more than in the corresponding period of 2024 (€0.37 million).
The quality of the loan portfolio remains very strong, with loan provisions of €1.9 million in Q1 2025 (€2.2 million in the corresponding period of 2024). The Cost of Risk (CoR) of the loan portfolio was 0.2% in Q1 2025 (0.4% in the corresponding period of 2024).
The customer deposit portfolio grew by 1% (€45 million) since the beginning of the year and exceeded €3.6 billion at the end of the quarter. Demand deposits grew by 4% (€67 million) during the quarter to over €1.7 billion.
In the first quarter of this year, the bank's funding structure was reinforced by €300 million senior preferred bond issue. As planned, the bank redeemed a subordinated bond issue of €20 million after the end of the quarter.
The group's cost-to-income ratio at the end of the quarter was 52.6%1(Q1 2024: 42.1%1 ) and the return on equity was 12.4% (Q1 2024: 17.6%). The capital and liquidity position remains strong and prudential ratios are being met by a wide margin
The bank's strong and sustainable capital base has enabled it not only to pay out a record dividend for 2024 (50% of 2024 net profit, €0.061 per share), but also to achieve a higher return to shareholders through the use of a buybacks of its own shares. The bank plans to continue its own share buybacks under the ECB's authorisation and intends to buy back up to 2.65 million shares. In the first quarter of 2025 the bank has also submitted an additional request for ECB authorisation to purchase up to 4.5 million own shares.
1eliminating the impact of SB Insurance's client portfolio
The volume of new business finance contracts in Q1 2025 was €0.2 billion, the same as a year before. Since the beginning of the year, the business loan portfolio grew by 2% (€33 million) to almost €1.9 billion. The strong growth is maintained by the high quality of the loan portfolio, with a partial release of provisions on the corporate loan portfolio Q1 2025, with a Cost of Risk (CoR) of -0.21%.
The bank's continues to diversify growth across strategic sectors such as manufacturing, retail and renewable energy. The favourable business environment has stimulated investment and created additional opportunities for expansion.
In Q1 2025, the volume of new mortgage contracts increased by 90% to €76 million compared to the same period last year. Since the beginning of the year, the housing loan portfolio has grown by 5% (€43 million) to almost €1 billion.

The volume of new consumer finance contracts fell by 9% year-on-year to €49 million in Q1 2025 compared to the same period last year. Since the beginning of the year, the consumer loan portfolio grew by 1% (€5 million) to almost €0.4 billion.
The bank continues to implement strategically important projects, modernising its core banking platform in line with the plan and rebranding. Šiaulių bankas will becomes Artea as of 5 May.
In an environment of decreasing base rates, customers continue to invest and save actively. In Q1 2025, the value of bonds issued on behalf of corporate clients amounted to €64 million. At the end of the quarter, the value of assets under custody amounted to almost €2 billion.
At the end of Q1 2025, the assets managed by "SB Asset Management,", remained above €1.4 billion. The performance of the managed pension funds continues to rank among the best compared to competitors, both since the beginning of the year and over longer 3- and 5-year periods. Thanks to the applied "index plus" investment strategy—where part of the funds is allocated to private debt, real estate, and other private assets—the funds experience lower volatility during turbulent periods, while maintaining high returns.
The Bank monitors the tense geopolitical situation in order to assess and identify the potential impact of these factors on the Bank's operations and asset quality in an appropriate and timely manner. Currently, the most significant geopolitical factors are the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the international trade situation due to changes in US tariffs and retaliation by other countries.
The Bank continuously monitors both financial and non-financial risks that could escalate as a result of the Russian-induced war in Ukraine. The Bank's direct exposure to Russia, Belarus and Ukraine is close to zero, the Bank has no operations in these countries and the secondary risk is not significant: there are few customers dependent on business relations with these countries. Significant attention is paid to the management of non-financial risks that could arise from this war (ICT, compliance, operational) and the business continuity framework is being strengthened to ensure the resilience of the Bank's operations in various scenarios.
The Bank monitors and assesses the financial risks that may arise from the international trade situation due to changes in US tariffs and retaliation by other countries. These risks may affect the prices of financial instruments, or weaken the financial position of borrowers. The risk to the prices of financial instruments on the Bank's balance sheet remains at an acceptable level as the majority of the Bank's portfolio of investments measured at fair value consists of bonds. The impact on the deterioration of the financial position of borrowers is currently being assessed - no significant direct impact has been identified, but scenarios in which the intensification of competition could lead to a deterioration of the financial position of some borrowers are possible.
The greatest uncertainties and potential negative impacts arise from the tertiary effects of geopolitical factors, i.e. the impact on the overall state of the economy. The Bank uses scenario assessments and stress testing to assess these impacts. These assessments indicate that the Bank's capital position is strong and that the Bank would be able to withstand significant shocks related to economic downturns.
The Bank closely monitors the situation with regard to other geopolitical factors and is ready to react quickly in case of significant changes.
October 14, 2024, Moody's affirmed all the bank's ratings and assessments: the Baa1 senior unsecured rating, the Baa1/P-2 long- and short-term deposit ratings, the Ba1 subordinate debt rating, the baa3 Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) and Adjusted BCA at baa3, the A3/P-2 long- and short-term Counterparty Risk Ratings (CRR) and the A3(cr)/P-2(cr) long- and short-term Counterparty Risk Assessments (CR Assessment).
The outlook on the long-term deposit and senior unsecured ratings remains stable.
Šiaulių Bankas maintained high operational efficiency. Capital and liquidity position remain robust - prudential requirements are implemented with adequate reserve. According to the data as of 31 March 2025 the Bank complied with all the prudential requirements set out by the supervisory authority.
