Report of the Board of Directors on the State of the Corporation's Affairs for the Period ended March 31, 2025 (hereinafter - the "Report of the Board of Directors") reviews the key changes in the activity of Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter - the "Company") in the first three months of 2025 (hereinafter - the "Reporting Period").
The Report of the Board of Directors was prepared in accordance with the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. The Report of the Board of Directors, with respect to the insurance business, was drawn up in accordance with the Supervision of Insurance Business Regulations (Reporting), 1998, and in accordance with the circulars of the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority (hereinafter - the "Commissioner"); the Report of the Board of Directors, with respect to the credit cards business, was drawn up in accordance with the reporting directives of the Banking Supervision Department (hereinafter - the "Banking Supervision Department") bearing in mind that the reader also has on hand the full periodic report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 (hereinafter - the "Periodic Report" and/or "Annual Financial Statements").
The following report of the Company may contain, in addition to data relating to the past, also forward-looking information, as defined by the Securities Law, 1968. Forward-looking information, to the extent that it is included, is based, among other things, on estimates and assumptions by the Group's managements and subsidiaries and on forecasts regarding the future in connection with economic and other developments in Israel and across the world, legislative and regulatory provisions, competition in the Group's areas of activity, accounting and taxation changes and technological developments. Although the Company's consolidated companies believe their assumptions to be reasonable as of the report date, by nature they are not certain, and actual results may materially differ from those predicted; therefore, the readers of the report should treat this information with due cation.
In the Commissioner's letter of December 8, 2019, it was stated that no entity holds, whether directly or indirectly, the means of control in the Company.
For further details regarding shareholdings in the Company and changes during the Reporting Period, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
1.2.1 For a description of the Group's areas of activity and its holding structure, see Section 1.1 in the chapter entitled Description of the Corporation's Business in the 2024 Periodic Report.
The Group companies' operations are affected by constant regulatory changes and regulatory reforms. Clal Insurance's operations and results are significantly affected by changes in capital markets, including, among other things, by changes in the interest rate that has implications for Clal Insurance's insurance liabilities and financial assets portfolios, for financial margins from investments as well. Max's activity is affected by macroeconomic conditions, the cost of living and interest rate in Israel. Macroeconomic conditions impact the level of private and business consumption, which, in turn, affect the Company's turnovers and have direct consequences on its business results.
As explained in Note 2 to these Interim Financial Statements, as from January 1, 2025 Clal Insurance has adopted IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 for the first time (hereinafter - the "Reporting Standards"), and the transition date for reporting under the Reporting Standards is January 1, 2024. The effect of the transition to reporting in accordance with the Reporting Standards regarding the Group's financial position and operating results with respect to the financial data of its subsidiary is detailed in Note 15 to these Interim Financial Statements.
According to the Company's policy (see Note 17(c)1 to the Annual Financial Statements), on May 28, 2025, the Company's Board approved a dividend distribution totaling approx. NIS 200 million, which constitutes approx. 64% of the dividends declared and/or distributed in the Company's subsidiaries as of the approval date of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
Clal Insurance published an Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024, whereunder the ratio net of the Provisions for the Transitional Period after the dividend distribution is 128% compared with a ratio of 109% as of December 31, 2023.
Taking into consideration the Provisions for the Transitional Period, the ratio after dividend distribution and revision of the Deduction is 158% as of December 31, 2024, compared to 159% as of December 31, 2023, respectively. For further details, see Section 2.4 and Note 6 to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
In accordance with Clal Insurance's dividend distribution policy (see Note 17(c)2 to the Annual Financial Statements), on May 28, 2025, Clal Insurance revised the minimum capital target without taking into account the Transitional Provisions, such that subsequent to the dividend distribution the solvency ratio will be at least 115% compared to 110%. In addition, Clal Insurance's Board approved a dividend distribution of approx. NIS 300 million, which constitutes approx. 47% of Clal Insurance's 2024 comprehensive income in accordance with the Annual Financial Statements (approx. 25% of Clal Insurance's comprehensive income after the application of the Reporting Standards), having examined all aspects, including Clal Insurance's compliance with the economic solvency ratio targets detailed above.



Taking into consideration equity transactions that took place subsequent to December 31, 2024, as of the publication date of the Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024.
The results in the Reporting Period were affected by volatility in the capital markets, mainly in stock indices, which affected investment revenue in the nostro portfolio, and by an increase in the risk-free interest rate curve compared to a decrease in the corresponding period last year. For details regarding the impacts of the above on the results, see Section 2.2 below.
Subsequent to the reporting date, in April 2025, Clal Capital Raising issued to the public Bonds (Series N) totaling NIS 500 million (hereinafter - the "Bonds"), by virtue of a shelf prospectus dated April 9, 2025. The principal will be repaid in one lump sum on September 30, 2039, unless Clal Capital Raising exercises its right to execute early redemption of the bonds. The principal and interest are not non-linked. The interest payable on the Bonds (Series N) is paid annually in two semi-annual installments starting on September 30, 2025, and on March 31 and September 30 of each calendar year between 2026 and 2039. The annual nominal interest rate is 5.51% and the annual effective interest rate is 5.72% assuming redemption on the Effective Date for Additional Interest. The issuance costs amounted to approx. NIS 5,820 thousand. For further details, see Note 5F to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
On January 6, 2025, Max completed a private placement of commercial papers for institutional entities, by way of expanding CPs (Series 2) by approx. NIS 154 million.
Subsequent to the reporting date, on April 7, 2025, Max published a supplementary prospectus and a shelf prospectus dated April 8, 2025, and on April 24, 2025, it completed a NIS 207 million raising of Commercial Papers (Series 5) from institutional investors and - for the first time - also from the public. As from this date, Max became a reporting corporation, as defined by the Securities Law, 1968. Max's becoming a reporting corporation constitutes a part of its financing strategy as a growing company, and it allows Max to diversify its sources of financing for its operating activities. For further details, see Note 13(F) to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
Further to Note 46(m) to the 2024 Financial Statements, 2025 started with ceasefire agreements on the northern front and the Gaza Strip front, which led to a relative calm. In March 2025, the temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ended and the IDF resumed fighting in the Gaza Strip. This move led to increased tensions at the national and security levels, including, among other things, the resumption of missile attacks on Israel by the Houthis in Yemen. As of the report approval date, foreign airlines announced once again the cancellation of their flights to Israel.
As of the approval date of the Financial Statements, the State of Israel's credit rating remains stable, but with a negative outlook, in accordance with the assessments of the three main rating agencies:
In May 2025, the international rating agency S&P reiterated Israel's credit rating at A, with a negative outlook (which remained without change too). This was mainly due to security risks. S&P noted that in 2025 the economy is expected to grow by 3.3%, but the government deficit will remain high due to an increase in defense spending.
In March 2025, the rating agency Fitch reiterated Israel's credit rating at A, with a negative outlook (also without change), addressing concerns regarding the government's political moves, which may "weaken checks and balances".
In March 2025, the rating agency Moody's reiterated Israel's Baa1 credit rating with a negative outlook, and published a special review of Israel's economic position, in which it expressed concern regarding the current situation, maintaining that "Israel's credit rating currently reflects very high political risks, which have weakened its economic strength".
Clal Insurance - In the Reporting Period, and as of the approval date of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements no material changes occurred in connection with the effects of the War on Clal Insurance's financial results.
Max - in the Reporting Period, the growth trend in Max's issuance turnovers in Israel and overseas and in its acquiring turnovers continued; those turnovers exceeded turnovers in the corresponding period last year. This is further to the gradual growth in 2024, after the decline in the first months of the War. Looking ahead, it may be assumed that the deterioration in the security situation and the intensification of fighting in the south and in the north may affect businesses and residents, and consequently they may continue to affect economic activity, which is reflected in Max's business activities.
The estimated provision for credit losses is based on judgments and assessments and still involves substantial uncertainty at this stage. Further to Note 46(m) to the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements, in 2023 Max increased the provision for current expected credit losses based on estimates of the potential increase in the credit risk of Max's customers. So far, and during the Reporting Period, there has not been a noticeable increase in the credit risk or actual credit losses of Max's customers due to the War. However, in light of the difficulty of estimating the duration and scope of the War and its potential effect on economic activity across the country, as well as the extent of the potential damage to the repayment capacity of Max's private and business customers, on the one hand, and the mitigating effects of aid programs and other reliefs, on the other hand, the estimated provision for credit losses is based on judgment and assessments and involves significant uncertainty at this stage. Accordingly, it is highly likely that future credit losses may be substantially higher or lower than the current estimate.
Further to Note 44 in the Annual Financial Statements, on May 8, 2025, the Company's board of directors resolved to publish an outline for the allocation of up to 130,000 Class A options and 470,000 Class B options to be offered under the outline, based on the Plan for 2021, for employees and officers of the Company and/or companies under its control. Allocation of the options to be offered under the outline is subject to obtaining all of the permits and approvals required under any law for the offering of securities in accordance with the outline, for their issue, and for the publication of the outline. The shares underlying the exercise of these options will represent approx. 0.27% of the Company's equity capital as of the reporting date, assuming maximum exercise. The options will be exercisable for ordinary shares of the Company at the value of the benefit implicit in the options, subject to adjustments. The value of the benefit is based on the valuation of the options at the time they are allotted, which is approx. NIS 30.08 per option, and the fair value of each tranche will be spread over the vesting period. The value of the benefit was calculated using the binomial model and estimated at approx. NIS 15 million for all options, which will be awarded to Group officers and employees as stated above. The Class A options will be allocated in three tranches, spread over three years, and shall be exercisable beginning when one year, two years, and 3 years have elapsed from the allocation date, up to two years from the vesting/ holding date. (With respect to the first tranche, at least two years of vesting and holding are required).
The subsidiaries will bear the expense for the value of the options and will indemnify the Company in full for this benefit, based on the value of the financial benefit that will be recorded in the Company's financial statements and in accordance with the accounting principles.
In the Reporting Period, Clal Insurance presents an increase in assets under management and in sales in all products, other than life insurance investment contracts, which were affected by the market situation.

Total assets under management by provident funds, excluding guaranteed return provident fund tracks and pension funds, are not included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

The post-tax comprehensive income in the Reporting Period amounted to approx. NIS 409 million, compared with a comprehensive income of approx. NIS 314 million in the corresponding period last year.
Core income - the income includes underwriting income, income from savings management (investment contracts, pension and provident), credit cards, agencies and the Group's finance expenses. In addition, the comprehensive income includes an additional annual spread of 2.25% above the risk-free interest rate plus a weighted illiquidity premium with respect to the investment portfolio held against non-yield-dependent insurance liabilities excluding the Hetz bonds component, and nominal risk-free interest plus an annual spread of 2.25% with respect to the investment portfolio held against the Company's capital and financial liabilities (hereinafter - the "Assumed Return").
Remaining financial margin – includes the financial effects, including changes in the risk-free interest rate curve and finance expenses with respect to insurance liabilities with respect to the passage of time beyond the Assumed Yield.
Core income in the Reporting Period amounted to approx. NIS 522 million, compared with a comprehensive income of approx. NIS 454 million in the corresponding period last year.
The improvement in income arises from an increase in underwriting income, mainly in the Property and Casualty Insurance and Health Insurance Segments and from an increase in income from the Credit Card
Activity.
Total underwriting income from insurance and savings totaled approx. NIS 252 million in the Reporting Period, compared to an income of approx. NIS 203 million in the corresponding period last year, mainly due to improvement in underwriting income in all insurance segments.
In the Reporting Period, there was an increase in contributions towards benefits provided by the Pension Subsegment and proceeds from investment contracts, such that the total gross premiums, contributions towards benefits and proceeds from investment contracts amounted to approx. NIS 6.9 billion, compared with approx. NIS 6.7 billion in the corresponding period last year - an increase of approx. 3%.
The total income from credit cards in the Reporting Period amounted to approx. NIS 118 million before tax compared to approx. NIS 93 million in the corresponding period last year.
Max's revenues in this period amounted to approx. NIS 586 million compared to approx. NIS 515 million in the corresponding period last year due to the increase in turnovers in Israel and overseas.
Max's net interest revenue increased and amounted to approx. NIS 204 million compared to approx. NIS 190 million in the corresponding period last year, mostly due to the increase in Max's business credit activity, due to the increase in the consumer and business credit portfolio, which is supported by informed risk management, which is required in view of the macroeconomic environment and the uncertainty as to the effects of the War.
Credit loss expenses amounted to approx. NIS 46 million, compared with an expense of approx. NIS 41 million in the corresponding period last year.
The increase in credit loss expenses is due to a more significant increase in credit balances in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding period last year. In addition, in the corresponding period last year, the credit loss provision was reduced, due to an improvement of the risk indicators.
Max's operating expenses in the first nine months totaled NIS 233 million, compared to NIS 208 million in the corresponding period last year, mainly due to an increase in expenses affected by the scope of the Company's business activities, such as fees and commissions to international organizations.
In the Reporting Period, income was recorded due to a decrease in insurance liabilities following an increase in the risk-free interest rate compared to a decrease in the corresponding period last year, which was offset by lower yields in the capital markets compared to last year, which affected the yields achieved by the Company, such that the balance of financial margin recorded was approx. NIS 83 million compared to approx. NIS 27 million last year.
In the corresponding period last year, an amendment was approved by the Knesset plenum to the Value Added Tax Ordinance (Tax Rate for Non-Profit Organizations and Financial Institutions), 2024 (hereinafter the "Ordinance"), which prescribes that as from January 1, 2025 the rate of payroll tax applicable to financial institutions will stand at 18% of the wage paid for work, and the profit tax shall stand at 18% of the profit generated.
The deferred tax balances included in the Financial Statements as of Group's financial institutions March 31, 2024 have been updated so as to take into account the effects, which arise from the increase in tax rates as described above.
In addition, the effective rate of Max's tax provision in the period ended March 31, 2024 stood at 34.8%, compared to 27.5% in the corresponding period. The increase in the effective tax rate arose from one-off tax expenses arising from the closing of income tax assessments in respect of previous years.
The total said effects caused an increase of approx. NIS 18 million one-off in tax expenses in the corresponding period last year.
The return on equity in annualized terms during the Reporting Period was a positive 18.7%, compared with 17.3% in the corresponding period last year.
During the Reporting Period, there was an increase in revenue from management fees for pension. For further details, see Section 2.2.1.3 and 2.2.1.4 below.
The Group's assets under management totaled approx. NIS 373 billion as of March 31, 2025, which is similar to December 31, 2024.
Out of the total said assets, as of March 31, 2025 approx. NIS 157 billion in assets are under management of the new pension fund compared to approx. NIS 155 billion on December 31, 2024.

The increase in income from insurance services arises mainly from the increase in the release of the contractual service margin due to revision of actuarial assumptions, mainly regarding the application of a stochastic model as explained in Section 2.4(a)4 below.
The increase in comprehensive income during the Reporting Period was affected by a decrease in insurance liabilities due to an increase in the risk-free interest rate compared to a decrease in the corresponding period last year, which was offset by a decrease in investment revenue compared to the corresponding period last year due to capital markets returns.

*) As of March 31, 2025, the liability to policyholders in respect of negative returns on the portfolio of participating policies amounts to approx. NIS 0.13 billion.
The decrease in premiums during the Reporting Period arises from further cancellations and a decline in new business's sales.

| Comprehensive income | 15 | 12 | ||

The Reporting Period - the increase in comprehensive income in the Reporting Period arises from an increase in revenue from management fees mainly from assets under management, which increased compared to the corresponding period last year. This increase was partially offset by an increase in costs in respect of agent fees and commissions due to the increase in activity. In addition, during the Reporting Period, investment revenue from the nostro portfolio declined due to the negative returns recorded in the capital markets in the current period compared to the corresponding period last year.
The increase in contributions towards benefits in the Reporting Period arises mainly from an increase in the new business and the amounts of contributions by active planholders in the pension funds.

2.2.1.5 The rate of outgoing transfers from savings products out of the balances of assets under management has increased in recent periods due to competition levels in the market. For further details regarding the effect of various factors on the markets, see Section 3 below.

During the Reporting Period - the decrease in premiums arises mainly from the timing of executing special transactions in the engineering insurance portfolio and a decrease in motor property insurance, which was partially offset by an increase in compulsory motor insurance.
In the Reporting Period - the change in comprehensive income arises from a substantial underwriting improvement mainly in the motor property portfolio and in the guarantee portfolio and from an increase in the risk-free interest rate compared to a decrease in the corresponding period last year. On the other hand, during the Reporting Period, investment revenue declined compared to the corresponding period last year due to capital markets returns.

| Comprehensive income | 113 | 60 |
In the Reporting Period - the increase in premiums arises mainly from an increase in the individual insurance activity and from the Travel Subsegment.
The higher income from insurance services is mainly due to the increase in the release of the contractual service margin following revision of the actuarial assumptions and sales in 2024, which were offset from class actions.
Comprehensive income increased in the Reporting Period as a result of a decrease in insurance liabilities due to an increase in the risk-free interest rate compared to a decrease in the corresponding period last year; on the other hand, this effect was partially offset in the Reporting Period due to a decrease in investment revenue compared to the corresponding period last year due to capital markets returns.

Revenue from credit card transactions include issuer fees and commissions, service fees and commissions in respect of the activity of card holders, fees and commissions from transactions carried out abroad, acquiring fees and commissions and other revenue from merchants net of fees and commissions to other issuers. As described above, the Company's turnovers in Israel and overseas increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding period last year - an increase which led to an increase in Company's revenues from credit card transactions, both from issuance and from acquiring.
Net interest revenue of Max increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding periods last year, mostly due to an increase in business activity, using responsible and strict management, which is supported by informed risk management, which is required in view of the macroeconomic environment and the uncertainty as to the effects of the War.
The increase in credit loss expenses arises from a more substantial increase in credit balances in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding period last year. In addition, in the corresponding period last year, the credit loss provision was reduced, due to an improvement of the risk indicators.
Max's operating expenses for the Reporting Period and the quarter increased compared to the corresponding period last year, mainly due to an increase in expenses affected from the volume of the Company's business activities, such as fees and commissions to international organizations.

The insurance companies in the Group are subject to the Provisions of the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime in accordance with the provisions of the Circular "Amendment to the Consolidated Circular Concerning Implementation of a Solvency II-Based Economic Solvency Regime for Insurance Companies", which was published on October 14, 2020.
In accordance with the Consolidated Circular, the Economic Solvency Ratio Report in respect of the December 31 and June 30 data of each year shall be included in the first periodic report published after the calculation date.
On May 28, 2025, Clal Insurance approved and published its Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024, which was posted on the Group's website at:
https://www.clalbit.co.il/aboutclalinsurance/financialstatementsandpressrelease/.
It is noted that the calculation of the economic solvency ratio is based on data and models which may differ from those used by Clal Insurance as part of financial reporting, and which are based, among other things, on forecasts and assumptions that rely mainly on past experience. Specifically, and as detailed in the Economic Solvency Regime Circular, the calculation of the economic solvency ratio is based, to a large extent, on the model used to calculate the embedded value. For further details regarding the capital requirements that apply to Group companies, see Note 17(f) to the Annual Financial Statements.
In accordance with the principles for calculating the Deduction during the Transitional Period in accordance with the application provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, as of December 31, 2024, the Deduction was updated and stands at NIS 2,063 million.
For additional information, including a general description of the economic solvency regime, the general underlying principles of the regime, the calculation methodology of the economic balance sheet and of the solvency capital requirement, Provisions for the Transitional Period, general review of the directives of the Commissioner's Directives relating to the Economic Solvency Ratio Report, definitions of key terms, comments and clarifications, please also read Sections 1, 3.1, 4.1 and 5.1 to the Economic Solvency Ratio Report of Clal Insurance as of December 31, 2024.
The solvency ratio as of December 31, 2024 does not include the effect of the Company's business activity in the period subsequent to December 31, 2024 and through this report's approval date.
For details of additional events during and subsequent to the Reporting Period, see Note 2.1 above.
The calculation made by the Company as of December 31, 2024 was audited by the independent auditors. The audit held in accordance International Standard on Assurance Engagement (ISAE) 3400 – "The Examination of Prospective Financial Information".

According to the letter published by the Authority, in October 2017, (hereinafter - the "Letter") an insurance company shall be entitled to distribute a dividend only if, following the distribution, the company has a solvency ratio - according to the Economic Solvency Regime - of at least 100%, calculated without taking into account the Provisions for the Transitional Period and subject to the solvency ratio target set by the insurance company's Board of Directors. The aforesaid ratio shall be calculated without the relief granted in respect of the original difference attributable to the acquisition of the provident funds and management companies. In addition, the letter set out provisions for reporting to the Commissioner.
The following are data on Clal Insurance's economic solvency ratio, calculated without taking into account the Provisions for the Transitional Period.

According to the economic solvency regime, the insurance liabilities were calculated in accordance with the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, which in general, in relation to SLT life and health insurance, is calculated in accordance with the EV calculation practice in Israel. The determination of the best estimate should be based on an estimation of the distribution of the potential best estimates ("Stochastic Models"), and in the absence of significant statistical data that will allow the assessment of the distribution probability of the best estimate, the Company used the expected value of each relevant factor ("Deterministic Models").
In accordance with an outline issued by the Commissioner in November 2023, the Stochastic Model will not be implemented in the calculation of the solvency ratio without implementing the Provisions for the Transitional Period - over 3 reporting dates - but the Company will disclose its effects in the Economic Solvency Ratio Report. At this stage, the Company opted not to include this in the calculation that takes into consideration the Provisions for the Transitional Period.
In this report, the Company completed the stochastic calculation of the best estimate of the asymmetrical insurance liabilities cash flows (including carrying future variable management fees) based on an economic scenario generator,1 including the implementation of tests and control
[1.] As defined in the provisions of Appendix B, Section 5 (Part 2, Appendix 2) to the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime.
processes regarding the accuracy, robustness, and market consistency, as is the normal practice in foreign companies that implement stochastic models in the calculation of their economic solvency ratio. The Stochastic Model is used to calculate the optimal actuarial estimate of asymmetric insurance liabilities (including recognition of future variable management fees). With the Stochastic Model, the return used as a basis for the calculation remains unchanged compared to the Deterministic Model. However, the calculation of cash flows in the Stochastic Model takes into account fluctuations in the returns of the relevant assets in accordance with their composition and characteristics, including the investment channels, duration, and exposure to index and foreign currency exchange rates and their effect on recognition of the variable management fees. In order to create the Stochastic Model, the Company selected economic models that match its asset classes. As part of the process of selecting and calibrating those economic models, the Company was supported by international consultancy firms. In addition, the independent auditors reviewed the calculation process and the internal control.
The effect of the model's application is estimated at an additional rate of approx. 15%, without taking into account the Transitional Provisions, and with an additional rate of approx. 9%, taking into account the Transitional Provisions.
For details regarding the revision of the capital target in Clal Insurance and dividend distribution in the Company and in Clal Insurance, see Note 2.1 (a) and (b) above.
In January 2022, a principles paper regarding the implementation of the Own Risk and Solvency Assessment of an Insurance Company (ORSA) as well as an amendment to the Provisions of the Consolidated Circular, Reporting to the Commissioner of Capital Market about Own Risk and Solvency Assessment of an Insurance Company (ORSA) were published.
According to the Letter of Principles, the Company is required to examine, at least once a year, and to file with the Commissioner, each year, a report outlining the interrelationships between the overall strategy and annual work plan and the Company's risk profile, risk management policy, overall exposure level and the adequacy of the buffer under various assumptions and scenarios. In doing so, the risk management policy, capital targets and the range of risk management applied by the Company should be examined and taken into account. Clal Insurance filed the report to the Commissioner in January 2024.
Subsequent to the reporting date, in April 2025, Clal Capital Raising issued to the public Bonds (Series N) totaling NIS 500 million. For further details, see 2.1(d) above.
Max's reported equity capital amounted to NIS 2,140 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to NIS 2,061 million at the end of 2024 - an increase of approx. 4%, and compared to NIS 1,906 million on March 31, 2024 - an increase of approx. 12%. The equity capital as of the end of the first quarter of 2025 includes NIS 26 million in share capital, NIS 376 million in share premiums, a NIS 83 million capital reserve, NIS 9 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, and NIS 1,664 million in retained earnings.
At the end of the first quarter of 2025, Common Equity Tier 1 capital amounted to NIS 2,142 million, compared to NIS 2,066 million as of December 31, 2024, and compared to NIS 1,910 million on March 31, 2024.
At the end of the first quarter of 2025, total capital amounted to NIS 2,608 million, compared to NIS 2,532 million as of December 31, 2024, and compared to NIS 2,347 million on March 31, 2024.
The capital adequacy ratios are calculated as the ratio of capital to the risk-weighted assets. The CET1 capital ratio is calculated as the ratio of CET1 capital to the risk-weighted assets. The total capital ratio is calculated as the ratio of total capital to the risk-weighted assets.
As of March 31, 2025, the CET1 capital ratio amounted to 10.3%, compared to 10.0% at the end of 2024, and 10.6% on March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, total capital to risk-weighted components ratio amounted to 12.5%, compared to 12.3% at the end of 2024, and 13.1% on March 31, 2024.
The decrease in Max's capital ratios as of March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024 arises mainly from growth in activity and risk-weighted assets, from the downgrading of the State of Israel's rating by S&P in April 2024, which led to an increase in risk-weighted assets in respect of some of the Company's exposures to Israeli banks, and from a dividend distribution totaling NIS 62 million in July 2024, which was partially offset by the increase in capital due to the net income recorded during the period.
In accordance with Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 203, "Measurement and Capital Adequacy - Credit Risk - the Standardized Approach", the weight of the risk of part of the Company's exposure to Israeli banks derives from Israel's credit rating. Since The Company uses ratings of the international credit rating agency Standard and Poor's (S&P), the downgrading of Israel's rating by this agency in April 2024 from -AA to +A led to an increase in the risk-weighted assets, which were recognized with respect to some of Max's exposures to the Israeli banks, which decreased The Company's capital ratios by approx. 0.3%. The further downgrade of Israel's credit rating to A by S&P at the beginning of October 2024 does not affect Max's capital ratios, and even a further one-notch downgrade by S&P to A- is also not expected to affect Max's capital ratios. It is only if S&P will further downgrade Israel's rating by two or more notches to BBB+ or lower that, in Max's opinion, one can expect approx. 0.3% decrease in its capital ratios based on data as of March 31, 2025. Max is not aware of an intention to affect such rating downgrade. The credit ratings assigned by other rating agencies do not affect Max's capital ratios.
On June 19, 2024, The Banking Supervision Department published a circular for revising Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 206 "Capital Measurement and Adequacy - Operational Risk", according to which on January 1, 2026 the existing directive will be replaced with a new directive, which adopts the revised directives of the Basel Committee regarding the calculation of capital requirements in respect of operational risk. The new directive redefines the business indicator components that serve as the basis for calculating the capital requirements in respect of the operational risk and sets marginal coefficients to be multiplied by the business indicator in accordance with the ranges of the business indicator. Furthermore, the new directive stipulates that the business indicator will be multiplied by an internal loss multiplier, which will be based on the banking corporation's historical operating losses. It was further stipulated that a banking corporation, whose business indicator is lower than NIS 5 billion, is not required to use loss data in its calculation of the capital requirements, and its internal loss multiplier will stand at 1; for all other banking corporations, the internal loss multiplier will stand also at 1 through December 31, 2028, and the Banking Supervision Department will publish - no later than 2028 - the method for applying the internal loss multiplier to their capital requirements.
Max's leverage ratio as of March 31, 2025 is 8.9%, compared to 8.7% at the end of 2024 and 8.9% as of March 31, 2024.
According to Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 472 "Merchant Acquirers and Acquiring Payment Card Transactions", an acquirer whose receivables balance in its latest Annual Financial Statements exceeds NIS 2 billion — the capital requirement will be calculated in accordance with Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directives Nos. 201-211 (Capital Adequacy and Measurement). It was also stipulated that despite that which is stated in Section 40 to Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 201, the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio shall not fall below 8%, and the total capital ratio shall not fall below 11.5%.
As from April 1, 2015, Max has been implementing Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 218 on leverage ratio (hereinafter - the "Directive"). Pursuant to the Directive, entities are required to have a consolidated leverage ratio of no less than 5%.
In the circular amending the Directive, which was published by the Banking Supervision Department on December 20, 2023, it extended the term of an expedient set as a Temporary Order in November 2020, as part of adjustments to Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directives for dealing with the Covid-19 crisis, according to which the leverage ratio shall not fall below 4.5% on a consolidated
basis. According to the circular, against the background of a review conducted by the Banking Supervision Department to amend the directive and a review of the leverage ratio and its mix, the above relief was extended as a temporary order until June 30, 2026, provided that the leverage ratio does not fall below that as of December 31, 2025 or the minimum leverage ratio applicable to the banking corporation prior to the temporary order, whichever is lower.
Max's capital is designed to support all risks embodied in its activity as well as its multi-year business activity, including supporting its lines of business, expanding the activity and entering into new areas of activity and complement and supplement its operations.
Furthermore, Max analyzes its performance in a stress scenario and has targets it will wish to meet upon the materialization of a stress scenario.
Max's policy, which was approved by its Board of Directors is to maintain a capital adequacy ratio, which is higher than the minimum threshold that was set by the Bank of Israel, and which is greater from the capital requirements needed to cover the risks in accordance with the results of Max's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP).
In accordance with Max's risk profile, on June 30, 2024 Max's Board of Directors approved Max's CET1 capital ratio internal target at 9.25% instead of 10% as was the case through that date. The revised internal target is 125 basis points (1.25 percentage points) higher than the minimum CET 1 capital ratio set by the Banking Supervision Department. Max intends to hold a safety buffer above the revised internal target. The internal target for total capital ratio has not changed and stands at 12%.

* Calculated in accordance with Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directives Nos. 201-211 on "Capital Adequacy and Measurement", and Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 472 "Merchant Acquirers and Acquiring Payment Card Transactions", which came into effect on September 1, 2016.
The dividend distribution in Max is subject to the directives of the Banking Supervision Department, including compliance with capital adequacy restrictions under the Basel directives. A dividend distribution is allowed subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, 1999, which stipulates, among other things, that Max may make a distribution out of its earnings, provided that there are no reasonable concerns that the distribution will prevent Max from fulfilling its existing and future undertakings, when they fall due.
During 2024, certain restrictions on dividend distribution included in Max's financing agreements were lifted.
On June 30, 2024, Max's Board of Directors set, for the first time, a dividend distribution policy. According to the approved policy, as from 2024 Max will be able to distribute every year dividends at a total amount of up to 30% of Max's net income for the year, which preceded the distribution year, in accordance with its consolidated financial statements. It is clarified that by setting the policy Max does not undertake to distribute a dividend on a certain date or rate, any distribution shall be subject to the full discretion of Max's Board of Directors and require the individual approval of the Board of Directors of Max, subject, among other things, to compliance with all the restrictions applicable to Max under the law and under directives of the Banking Supervision Department.
Accordingly, in 2024, a NIS 62 million dividend was approved and distributed, which constitutes approx. 28% of Max's net income for 2023.
Both the set dividend distribution policy and the actual distribution, which was approved were carefully considered, while retaining high capital surpluses in relation to Max's capital targets, in accordance with the regulator's expectation that the capital planning will be assessed in a conservative and informed manner in view of the War and the uncertainty in the Israeli economy.
The consolidated cash flows provided by operating activities in the Reporting Period amounted to approx. NIS 792 million; most of the amount arises from realization of financial investments by the Insurance Company and from a tax refund. The consolidated cash flows used for investing activities totaled approx. NIS 487 million in the Reporting Period, mainly from a reduction in credit provided to card holders and merchants. The consolidated cash flows used in financing activities totaled approx. NIS 453 million in the Reporting Period and included mainly the repayment of credit from banking corporations. The Group's cash and cash-equivalent balances increased from a total of approx. NIS 7,069 million at the beginning of the Reporting Period to approx. NIS 6,833 million at the end of the Reporting Period.
The Company attaches great importance to maintaining sufficient cash balances, in a manner that will allow it to repay its obligations, and support, where required, the capital needs of Clal Insurance, and liquidity needs in respect of the activity of other Group investees. Other funding sources include, among other things, dividend distributions from investees, and the option of selling stakes in investees, debt raising from the banking system and/or the public, utilization of credit facilities and capital raising.
It is clarified that some of the investees are subject to regulatory provisions regarding dividend distribution beyond the distribution limitations set out in the Companies Law, 1999, which stipulates, among other things, that the Company may make a distribution out of its earnings, provided that there are no reasonable concerns that the distribution will prevent the Company from fulfilling its existing and future undertakings when they fall due:
A. Clal Insurance - the dividends from Clal Insurance depend on the policy set by the Board of Directors of Clal Insurance, see Section 2.4.A above, including compliance with the solvency ratio target set by the Board of Directors, which is higher than the minimum target set by the Banking Supervision Department. The Company considers interest proceeds received from its holding in a Restricted Tier 1 capital instrument of Clal Insurance as a source of liquidity and classifies this holding as a financial investment.
B. Max - the dividend distribution in Max is subject to the directives of the Banking Supervision Department, including compliance with capital adequacy restrictions under the Basel directives. Dividend distribution is allowed subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, 1999. For details regarding the dividend distribution policy, see 2.4.B.5 above.
For further details regarding the restrictions on dividend distributions in Clal Insurance and Max, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Furthermore, the Company controls the following entities which are not subject to special Regulatory Restrictions pertaining to dividend distribution beyond those of the Companies Law:
This investment is presented among investment in investees based on equity value and was not included in the financial investments in this section.
As of the reporting date, the Group has three types of financial liabilities, subordinated notes issued to address Clal Insurance's capital needs, and balances used in Max's operating activities issued by the Company.

*Forecast data in accordance with the Bank of Israel Research Department's forecast, April 2025

* The December 2024 data represents the consensus of forecasts according to Bloomberg, May 7, 2025
As from October 7, 2023, Israel has been in a state of war; for further details, see Section 2.1(e) above.
| Criterion | Data for the period |
|---|---|
| Development in the market and employment in Israel |
In 2024, GDP grew by approx. 0.9%; in accordance with the macroeconomic forecast of the Bank of Israel's Research Department (April 2025), GDP is expected to grow by 3.5% in 2025 and by 4% in 2026. |
| As of March 2025, the budget deficit amounted to 5.2% of GDP, compared to 5.3% of GDP in February 2025. In accordance with the Bank of Israel's forecast, the government budget deficit in 2025 and 2026 is expected to amount to 4.2% of GDP and 2.9% of GDP, with the debt to GDP ratio expected to increase to 69% of GDP in 2025, and 68% of GDP in 2026. |
|
| The labor market - upon the outbreak of the War, the broad unemployment rate (a data which includes - in addition to those unemployed - also those who are temporarily absent due to economic reasons, such as expense for unpaid leave) increased sharply from 4.2% to 9.7% in October 2023; however since then the broad unemployment rate declined to 3.9% in March 2025. In accordance with the Bank of Israel's forecast, the broad unemployment rate is expected to stand at approx. 2.9% at the end of 2025 and 3.2% in 2026. |
|
| According to the Central Bureau of Statistics' estimates for February 2025, the average wage of a salaried employee continues to rise and has risen by 2% compared to February 2024. The average wage for a salaried employee in current PPPs was NIS 13,773. |
|
| The housing market - house prices increased by 7.5% in the past twelve months. | |
| In May 2025, the international rating agency S&P reiterated Israel's credit rating at A, with a negative outlook (which remained without change too). The negative outlook reflects the risk that the conflict between Israel, Hamas and other proxies supported by Iran may substantially weaken the Israeli economy, its fiscal position and the balance of payments, especially if the conflict will deteriorate. The agency notes that despite Israel's healthy macroeconomic fundamentals, including its diverse and adaptive economy, a prolonged or more intensive military conflict may have an adverse effect on economic and fiscal performance and on the balance of payments. |
|
| Inflation data | In the first quarter inflation increased by 1.1%; in the past year inflation increased by 3.3%. |
| Foreign exchange rates |
Since the beginning of the year, the shekel has devalued by approx. 2% against the USD. |
| Development in interest rates and returns |

For details regarding the effects on the financial results, see Section 2 above and Note 5 to the Financial Statements.
Global economic developments The first quarter of 2025 was characterized by uncertainty in the markets and in the global economy; it was expected that uncertainty will decline after the imposition of tariffs on various countries across the world by the United States, but, in fact, the result was quite the opposite, and there are concerns that a trade war will break out due to the imposition of counter-tariffs on the part of various countries (mainly China). Inflation continued to subside across the world and the labor market remained stable, but there are still concerns that inflation will rear its head due to the "tariff war". The geopolitical events, which the world saw in 2024 continue into 2025: The war between Russia and Ukraine, the war in the Middle East and political upheavals in major countries across the world.
United States – at the beginning of 2025 the economy was plunged into a trade war when the US imposed tariffs on a large number of countries, some of which (mainly China and Europe) responded with countermeasures such as retaliatory tariffs. Inflation continued to subside and stands at 2.4% (compared to 2.9% at the beginning of the year) - still above the central bank's target and amid concerns regarding an increase in inflation due to the tariffs. Market estimates are that interest rates will be cut 3 times during 2025. The US economy grew by 2.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and by 2.8% throughout 2024, in annual terms. It is noted that the unemployment rate is still low and stands at 4.2%.
Europe – after interest rate cuts in 2024 due to the subsidence of inflation, in the first quarter of 2025 the European Central Bank cut its interest rate twice to 2.65% (compared to 3.15% at the beginning of the year) and the inflation rate slowed to 2.2%, as of March. The European economy still grew at a slow rate of 0.2% in the fourth quarter and by 0.9% throughout 2024, in annual terms. The unemployment rate remained similar and stands at 6.1%.
China – the country was at the center of the trade war declared by President Trump, who initially imposed a 34% tariff on China (in addition to the existing 20%). China responded by raising it tariffs on US imports and, the US, in turn, retaliated by raising tariffs on Chinese imports to up to 145%. The United States and China are effectively in a reciprocal tariff war, which includes additional restrictions on the export of advanced semiconductors, which places a strain on China's economy. The growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2025 stood at 1.2% and at 5% throughout 2024 despite fiscal and monetary incentives.
In this chapter, we will review in a condensed form laws, regulations, circulars and very material position papers, or drafts of laws, regulations, circulars and very material position papers, that apply to the activity of the Group's institutional entities, and which are material to the Group's activity, as published by the Knesset, the government or the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings, as the case may be, subsequent to the publication date of the Annual Financial Statements.
We will also review - in a condensed form - laws, regulations, Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directives (hereinafter - "PCBBD") and very material position papers, or drafts of laws, regulations, PCBBD and very material position papers, that apply to the activities of issuance, acquiring and processing of payment cards and credit to private individuals and businesses (hereinafter - "Max's Activity"), and which are material to the Group's activity, as published by the Knesset, the government or the Banking Supervision Department, as the case may be, subsequent to the publication date of the Annual Financial Statements.
In April 2025, the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee passed the second and third readings of the Companies Law Bill (Amendment No. 38), 2025. Among other things, the bill includes the following proposed amendments regarding a company without a controlling shareholder: Adding a rebuttable presumption whereby in a company, none of the shareholders of which has a stake of more than 50% of its means of control, a stake of 25% or more of the means of control will be deemed as control therein; the requirement to appoint external directors was replaced by the requirement to appoint a majority of independent directors in the Board and its committees; allowing companies to pay a Chairperson of the Board, who is an independent director, a compensation, which is higher than the compensation cap paid to an external director; regulating a procedure for nomination of candidates for service as directors by an independent Appointment Committee; regulating a procedure for approval of transactions with directors and a procedure for approval of extraordinary transactions with substantial shareholders, who hold 10% or more of a certain type of means of control.
The law will not come into force before July 2026, and its coming into force is conditional upon the regulations, which will be brought for approval by the Committee, and in any case, transitional provisions will apply to serving directors. To date, the Company is unable to assess the implications of the bill and the regulations which will be promulgated, to the extent that they are promulgated, and their effect, due to, among other things, the fact that strict provisions apply to the Company by virtue of its status as the controlling shareholder in an insurance company.
In March 2025, the Taskforce for Assessing the Measures to Increase Retail Banking Competition in the Banking System published its interim report, which examined measures to remove barriers to the entry of additional players into the banking system. The taskforce's main recommendations are:
Market Concentration, regarding the relationship between the banks and the abovementioned processing credit card companies.
In order to complete the work and formulate final recommendations, the interim report included a call for proposals, in which the taskforce sought the public's position regarding the recommendations listed in the report.
At this stage, it is impossible to assess the significance of the recommendations in the interim report. However, if the interim report will be published as a final report, and if the recommendations will be adopted as part of a legislation, such that additional entities will be able to obtain a bank license and/or holding companies, which control institutional entities, will be able to control a small bank, the competition in the financial and banking system may intensify and the market relevant to the Group's activity may undergo structural changes.
In April 2025, the Privacy Protection Authority's guidance was published as a draft for public comment, presenting the Authority's interpretation of the provisions of the Privacy Protection Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder for the purpose of exercising its powers regarding databases, which use artificial intelligence systems, including for the purpose of exercising the supervisory powers, powers regarding administrative inquiries, enforcement and imposition of sanctions conferred upon the Authority under Amendment No. 13 to the Privacy Protection Law, which is due to enter into force in August 2025 (hereinafter - the "Draft Guidance"). Under the Draft Guidance, the Authority clarified that the Privacy Protection Law applies to artificial intelligence systems, which store or actually process personal information, and clarified the appropriate application of the provisions of the law and its regulations to artificial intelligence systems.
In March 2025, a draft of the Payment Services Regulations (Exemption from the Provisions of the Law) (Amendment), 2025, was published. In accordance with the draft amendment, gift vouchers/cards, which are not designated for a particular payer (unidentified), including digital cards, will continue to be excluded from certain provisions of the Payment Services Law, and new consumer provisions will be applied to such means of payment, such as: The requirement to document information regarding transactions and their dates, providing such information to the customer, termination of payments in the event of failure to supply a product/service on time. In addition, it is proposed to set an overall cap with respect to a single customer with a specific issuer, such that the maximum cumulative amount of digitally-issued unidentified means of payment will be NIS 5,000. In May 2025, the Economic Affairs Committee approved the Ministry of Justice's request to extend by two months the current arrangement under the regulations in their current wording.
In April 2025, the Banking Supervision Department published a draft for public comment regarding E-banking policy. The draft requires a banking corporation to deliver to another banking corporation substantiated information, which can assist in assessing, identifying and preventing fraud in the other banking corporation. The requirement to deliver such information will apply to all fraud types, whether they are carried out through Ebanking or not, and whether they are instigated against the banking corporation itself or against the banking corporation's customer.
At this stage, given the fact that it is not yet clear which information banking corporations will be required to deliver and which information they will be able to receive, including in what manner such information will be delivered/received, how often, etc., Max is unable to assess the implications of the said draft.
In accordance with the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, Disclosure on exposure to, and management of, market risks relates to exposures of the Company and its consolidated companies, except for Mivtachim in Israel and an acquirer.

For an extensive description of the effect of the Iron Swords War on Max's risks and how they are managed, see the Iron Swords War chapter at the beginning of Max's Report of the Board of Directors and Management. For an extensive description of Max's risks and their management, see Max's 2024 Financial Statements.
Max is engaged in a wide range of financial activities that involve the taking of risks, including: credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. Those risks are accompanied by other risks, such as: operational risks, including information security and cyber risks, compliance risks and prohibition on money laundering, legal risk, strategic risk, reputational risk, ESG risks and model risk embodied in the business activities. Intelligent and in-depth risk management encompassing all areas of Max's activity is part of Max's strategy and a necessary condition for the fulfillment of its long-term goals.
Subsequent to the reporting date, on April 7, 2025, Max was listed as a reporting corporation on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and on April 24, 2025, Max completed for the first time a raising of commercial papers (CPs) from institutional investors and from the public. Max's becoming a reporting corporation allows it to diversify its sources of financing by adding the option of raising funds from the public.
For additional information about the risks, see Pillar 3 - Disclosure of Additional Information about Risks, which was posted on Max's website.
In accordance with Directive No. 311 regarding the management of credit risks, the risk is defined as a risk that a borrower or a counterparty of Max will fail to meet its obligations to Max, as they were agreed upon.
In accordance with Directive No. 311, the objective of the management of credit risks is to maximize the return adjusted to Max's risk appetite, by ensuring that the exposure to credit risk is in line with Max's policy on this topic.
Max operates according to a credit policy, which is approved by the Board of Directors once a year, and which constitutes one of the main pillars through which Max's credit strategy and risk appetite are reflected. The credit risks policy stipulates, among other things, the principles for provision of credit, including guidelines for the marketing of retail and business credit, the methods of control and the management of the credit risks and restrictions on the provision of credit, in order to monitor and mitigate the credit risk in the portfolio in accordance with the risk appetite.
The credit policy serves as a framework for setting procedures for identifying, measuring, monitoring and placing controls on the credit risk, which is derived from Max's risk appetite.
As a leading company in its area of activity, Max developed a professional function that implements an informed and efficient risk management processes in its business activities in the field of credit, in accordance with the customers' needs.
In addition to Directive No. 311 that was referred to above, Max takes action to implement the relevant directives of the Banking Supervision Department, including Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 313 regarding the restrictions on the indebtedness of a borrower and a group of borrowers in order to reduce the concentration of risk of borrowers, Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 312 regarding the restrictions on liability of related parties, aimed at limiting the scope of liability of parties related to the Company and minimize the risks stemming from those transactions, and Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 450 regarding debt collection proceedings aimed at regulating the actions that should be taken in order to increase fairness and transparency when collecting debts from customers. In addition, Max also takes action and implements the provisions of Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 311A on consumer credit management.
Max operates in accordance with dedicated rules regarding the marketing and initiation of retail loans. Max has in place scenarios for conversations it initiates with customers, which include: Fair disclosure to the customer in accordance with the Banking Rules (Service to Customer, Fair Disclosure and Delivery of Documents), and they were written in accordance with its code of ethics, the principles for management of the conduct risks, and the guidelines in connection with the marketing of credit to customers, while providing full disclosure to the customer.
The credit risk in respect of credit to private individuals arises mainly from the exposure to current transactions involving credit cards and credit products.
Max offers a range of credit products to private individuals, as follows:
Most of the consumer credit that is advanced by Max, is provided through a model-based underwriting process, which is based on statistical credit scoring models, that include various scoring scales, and an additional score in case of default, in combination with business rules.
The decision regarding the amount of credit and the interest rate set for a customer is based on the model in combination with business rules, that constitute another method for assessing the risk level.
The models are based on internal and external information sources which may indicate negative developments in the customer's financial position, such as: payment default, exceeding credit limits, and warnings from external sources of information.
Max develops and improves the models for new and existing customers on an ongoing basis and as required, and also validates them independently on a periodic basis, based on generally accepted practices, and in accordance with the Bank of Israel's guidance, such that it is possible to estimate the risk level of customers included in the credit portfolio at any given time.
Max has in place a credit underwriting model for new customers, and a separate underwriting model for existing customers:
The process of underwriting credit to private individuals, and the monitoring of changes in an existing customers risk level is mostly carried out using a model-based process, which is based on statistical credit scoring models, as detailed above.
Max has in place control and monitoring processes that routinely monitor the development of the scores assigned to customers in the models and monitors the portfolio's risk profile on an ongoing basis. In addition to its model-based underwriting, Max uses manual underwriting in cases where further checks are required in addition to the score issued based on the model.
Among other things, the credit is managed based on constraints derived from Max's risk appetite and credit policy.
The three main products in the credit portfolio for private customers are:
Solo loans are advanced to private customers based on a structured underwriting process in accordance with the customer's level of risk and the restrictions set by Max. These loans are not secured by any collateral of any kind. Review of the existing solo loan portfolio and the flow of new loan applications is carried out on an ongoing basis and monitored using predefined risk indicators, which are adapted periodically to changes in the market and in the characteristics of the borrowers as needed.
Credit advanced to private individuals for the purpose of purchasing vehicles based on a structured underwriting process and in accordance with the restrictions placed by Max. All of the said vehicles are pledged in favor of Max. Data about the development of the portfolio and the monitoring of the risk indicators are provided on an ongoing basis. Alongside the risk arising from the repayment capacity of each customer, the car loan activity also entails risks associated with the collateral - operational risks such as inappropriate lien execution, failure to receive an insurance policy with a lien clause in favor of Max, etc., and the risk inherent in the decrease in the value of the collateral (and an increase in exposure).
Short-term credit which allows private individuals to set up monthly billing, with any amount that exceeds the set billing amount, "revolves" to the next month and bears interest. This product has a risk level that depends, among other things, on the monthly repayment rate out of the outstanding credit balance.
On April 27, 2025, the Bank of Israel published a press release regarding the review of the audit activity in the field of marketing and management of revolving credit cards, after conducting audits with regard to this aspect in some of the entities it regulates. The review details guidelines regarding existing customers receiving the service and customers who sign-up for the service, including a reference to fair disclosure, fairness, proactive marketing, etc. Max takes steps to implement the guidelines.
Max closely and regularly monitors risk indicators and macroeconomic developments, which indicate that despite the prolonged uncertainty arising from the ongoing War and the geopolitical situation, no material deterioration has been observed. However, there is still uncertainty regarding the extent of the expected damage to the economy and the long-term implications of the security situation, and in light of this, Max continues to apply a conservative approach with regard to credit loss provisions.
In accordance with its strategy, Max operates to expand its private individuals' credit portfolio, while maintaining a high level of diversification. Among other things, Max defines the mix of credit products, the growth rate and the offers made to customers in accordance with internal economic parameters, and developments in macroeconomic indicators.
Max defined a policy and work processes that are suitable for marketing credit to customers, while modifying the offer in accordance with the customer's needs and characteristics. The process of marketing the credit and its approval is implemented in accordance with the principles set out in Max's Code of Ethics, which reflects the core principles adopted by Max: fairness, transparency, customer experience, initiative, partnership and excellence.
The marketing process also includes a strict assessment of the conduct risk while ensuring that the credit matches the customer's needs and maintaining transparency and fairness. This includes, among other things, providing full disclosure regarding all credit products at the time of sale, removing customers from sales lead lists, at their request, etc.
Max maintains ongoing control over the implementation of the policy and the processes set in the various distribution channels. The policy sets qualitative and quantitative principles, according to which credit will be advanced, managed and monitored, in order to improve the credit portfolio, and mitigate the risk embodied in its management. Max monitors alerts and up-to-date information regarding customers in its credit portfolio, as well as risk parameters and economic indicators, in order to monitor changes in the risk profile. Where needed, Max takes action to mitigate the risk, including by reducing credit limits, while making fair disclosure to the customer. Max has set internal limits in connection with the diversification of the various credit products that have different risk levels. Among other things, Max has set limits regarding the credit facility offered to borrowers in accordance with various parameters and thresholds it has put in
place, including in relation to the mix of the risk levels based on internal scoring models and external information. During the Reporting Period, there were no material changes in those characteristics.
Max has set an authorization hierarchy regarding credit decisions and holds periodic discussions - at least once a quarter - on the mix of risk in the portfolio, including monitoring of risk indicators, and reports on compliance with limits to Max's top risk management committee, its Board of Directors' Risk Committee and its Board of Directors.
In recent years, regulation is characterized with pro-consumer regulations, that affect Max's ability to receive repayments from its customers; in recent years, there has also been a deterioration in individuals/private borrowers' repayment capacity. Those changes are reflected in the number of bankruptcy applications, receivership orders applications, receivership orders issued, bankruptcy orders, and discharge orders. Max takes action to achieve optimal and efficient collection of debts in order to reduce the amounts of debts written-off.
The risk arises from the exposure in respect of different credit products undertaken by the merchants in accordance with their needs. Max offers a range of credit products to business customers, mainly loans with various periods, and facilities for business credit card purchases, alongside autonomous guarantees to merchants aimed at securing rent payments, and an expanding range of products that addresses businesses' working capital, establishment and other needs.
The ongoing War has different effects on different economic sectors. While some sectors achieved growth, the scope of activity of others declined due to the prolonged fighting and uncertainty. In light of this, Max has been mapping the economic sectors in accordance with their level of sensitivity to the effects of the fighting and to the development of macroeconomic risks. Businesses from hypersensitive sectors are monitored frequently, in order to identify on a timely basis a potential deterioration in their condition, such as a deterioration in cash flow and in their ability to repay the debt to Max.
This credit is advanced to small and micro merchants and limited liability companies. Max operates based on a tight credit policy that integrates internal restrictions on underwriting and on the management of the credit activity. To date, most of the credit to merchants is advanced to merchants, which use Max as their acquirer. In those cases, funds from acquiring may be used to settle the debt, and this mitigates the credit risk and reduces the rate of losses from such credit. The rate of credit loss provisions in respect of this credit, which is based on historical loss rates, takes this fact into account. Alongside its activities with customers which use its acquiring services, Max also advances credit to customers, which are not involved in its acquiring activities, including, among other things, as part of state-backed funds, and short-term loans for factoring suppliers' procurement, backed by a policy of an external insurance company.
Max continues to apply a conservative approach with regard to credit loss provisions.
Max has set procedures for identifying troubled credit and for classifying debts as troubled. In accordance with these procedures, Max classifies all of its troubled debts and off-balance sheet credit items as: performing credit and nonperforming credit.

Max has an immaterial exposure involving the international organizations Visa and Mastercard in respect of the balance of transactions executed by tourists in Israel, net of the balance of transactions executed by Israelis abroad, in respect of which Max has not yet been credited by the international organizations. In the first quarter of 2025, there was no material change in Max's exposure to foreign financial institutions.
For further details regarding the credit risk, see Pillar 3 - Disclosure of Additional Information about Risks, which was posted on Max's website.
Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive 339, Management or Market Risks, defines market risk as the risk of loss in on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions as a result of a change in the fair value of a financial instrument due to change in market conditions (changes in price levels in various markets, interest rates and foreign exchange rates, inflation rates, prices of shares and commodities).
Max has a policy for the management of market risks, which is approved by Max's management and Board of Directors. The policy paper includes a reference to the risk appetite limits, and the hedging processes in respect of the different exposures and is validated from time to time. Furthermore, Max continuously monitors all financial risks, exposure levels, results of sensitivity analyses and present and expected material changes, including global and domestic macroeconomic trends and their potential effect on Max and the Israeli economy. These topics are discussed in a Financial Risk Management Forum headed by the CEO.
Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 333 regarding management of interest rate risk defines the interest rate risk as the risk to earnings or capital arising from fluctuating interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect Max's income by changing its net interest revenue (including changes in non-interest revenue/expenses). Changes in interest rates also affect the value of Max's assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, since the present value of
future cash flows (and in some cases, the cash flows themselves) changes when interest rates change.
Max's exposure to changes in interest rates arises from a number of sources:
▪ Repricing risk - arises from timing differences in repayment periods (at fixed interest) and the repricing dates (at variable interest) of Max's assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet positions. Discrepancies in repricing dates may expose the income and the economic value to unexpected fluctuations due to changes in the interest rates.
Changes in interest rates may cause an increase in prices of sources, and an erosion in profitability.
The assessment of the exposure to the basis risk is carried out by analyzing the effect of the change in interest rates on the fair value and on net interest revenue. The risk arises from the exposure to future changes in interest rates, their potential effect on the value of assets and liabilities in accordance with the economic value approach, and their effect on income in accordance with the profits approach. The exposure arises, among other things, from the difference between the repayment dates and interest calculation dates of the assets and liabilities in each of the linkage bases. The mitigation of the interest rate risk also includes an assessment of the differences between the assets and the liabilities in accordance with the linkage bases, where most of Max's exposure lies in the shekel linkage base.
Max has put in place exposure monitoring indicators, upon the materialization of any of which courses of action will be set in order to mitigate the risk; among other things, and where needed, Max will use hedging instruments, as approved by Max's management and Board of Directors.
Generally, it is Max's policy to use derivative financial instruments for economic hedges only.
Following are the fair value data of financial instruments and the effect of changes in interest rates on the fair value:

The exposure to the foreign exchange rate risk is reflected in a loss as a result of changes in exchange rates or the consumer price index as part of Max's routine business activities. Max's exposure to the foreign exchange rate risk arises from currency exposure as a result of the effect of changes in exchange rate on foreign-currency denominated assets and liabilities in Max's balance sheets, mainly the USD and the EUR. The currency exposure is a by-product of Max's routine business activities; it does not involve a deliberate exposure by Max in order to increase income.
Most of Max's exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates arises from its activities, i.e., acquiring and issuance, in which an international organization is involved (Visa or Mastercard). Since Max has business activities linked to foreign currencies, changes in foreign exchange rates expose it to losses due to exchange rate differences.
Max's foreign exchange rate risk management mainly focuses on mitigating and minimizing the general exposure, and also to sub-exposures arising from cash flow activities and the accounting exposure.
Max defined a maximum exposure limit for foreign currency balances after hedging actions. The hedging of the exposure is carried out for each exposure type in accordance with Max's policy through, among other things, selling and buying of foreign currency and using financial derivatives, while maintaining the limit set and acting in accordance with the decision of the management and the Board of Directors.
Max has put in place monitoring indicators for each exposure type, upon the materialization of any of which courses of action will be set in order to mitigate the risk.
Max's exposure to the risk in connection with the CPI is reflected in a loss it may incur as a result of changes therein. Max has an exposure arising from CPI-linked activities, mainly due to interest-bearing credit linked to the Consumer Price Index.
Max defined a maximum exposure limit to the CPI after hedging actions. The hedging of the exposure in accordance with Max's policy by, among other things, taking CPI-linked financing sources and by using financial derivatives, while maintaining the limit set and acting in accordance with the decision of the management and the Board of Directors.
In accordance with Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 342 regarding liquidity risk management, the liquidity risk is defined as a risk to Max's income and stability stemming from its inability to meet its liquidity needs.
Max has a number of activities that affect its liquidity:
Among other things, Max mitigates the liquidity risk using a liquidity model that takes into account all of Max's sources and uses derived from its current and anticipated operating activities, which affect Max's cash flows. The liquidity model calculates the expected liquidity ratio; its aim is to issue an alert regarding situations where liquidity pressures may be detected. The mitigation of Max's liquidity risk takes into consideration the liquidity needs of all of the subsidiaries.
As part of its liquidity risk policy, Max defined a minimum liquidity ratio limit and performance indicators in the normal course of business and under various scenarios, that were approved by the management and Board of Directors. In addition, Max has set a methodology that assists the identification and management of a liquidity crisis in order to ensure Max's ability to meet the challenges that arise from its operating activities, and which may arise due to pressures in financial markets.
As part of its ongoing assets and liabilities management, Max uses diverse funding sources, in order to diversify the risk.
On April 7, 2025, Max was listed as a reporting corporation on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and on April 24, 2025, Max completed for the first time a raising of commercial papers (CPs) from institutional investors and from the public. Max's becoming a reporting corporation allows it to diversify its sources of financing by adding the option of raising funds from the public. Max's sources of financing include: Equity, banking sources, including holding secured credit facilities with several banks, which are utilized in accordance with Max's needs, which change from time to time, and raising liquid and illiquid securities through various financial instruments.
On July 1, 2021, a directive entered into effect regarding a daily acquiring arrangement, by virtue of the Israel Competition Authority's decision to exempt, subject to conditions, the interchange acquiring arrangement between the credit card companies. As from that date, transfers of funds between an issuer and an acquirer (in respect of singlepayment transactions and immediate or deferred billing transactions) are carried out on a daily basis. Consequently, there was a decrease in Max's funding needs, due to a decrease in the average utilization of the credit facilities compared with periods prior to the date on which the arrangement came into effect. The development of this trend depends on the conditions in the acquiring market.
In the Reporting Period, Max fulfilled its obligations and met all the conditions in connection with the financing agreements to which it is a party. Max has a forum for the management of financial risks, which is headed by its CEO; Max's CFO, Chief Risk Officer and Chief Internal Auditor attend the forum's meetings. Among other things, the forum discusses exposures and hedging actions. In November 2024, the rating agency Midroog Ltd. reiterated Max's issuer rating at Aa3.il (rating outlook: stable), the rating of Max's Subordinated Notes (Series D) at A1.il (hyb) (rating outlook: stable) and the rating of Commercial Papers at P-1.il.
In December 2024, the rating agency Midroog Ltd. assigned a P-1.il rating for Commercial Paper raised by Max through an expansion of Commercial Papers (Series 2). In April 2025, the rating agency Midroog Ltd. assigned a P-1.il rating to liquid Commercial Papers (Series 5), issued to the public on April 24, 2025.
Max also monitors the effect of macroeconomic conditions, and if the War will continue and/or expand and/or if the State of Israel's credit rating will be downgraded again, the supply of sources of financing in the economy may be smaller and Max's exposure to the liquidity risk will increase. The Company believes that such deterioration scenarios may affect the cost of the sources available to Max, but it expects that it will still have sufficient sources of financing to maintain its business activities.
Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 350 regarding operational risks defines an operational risk as "the risk of a loss as a result of the inadequacy or failure of internal processes, personnel, and systems, or as a result of external events. This definition includes legal risk but does not include strategic risk and reputational risk". There are situations where other risks materialize, such as: credit risk, compliance risk, and reputational risk are caused as a result of an operational failure.
Max is exposed to operational risks as part of its activities, such as:
In addition, operational risks are naturally present in all of Max's processes, and arise, among other things, from actions carried out by Max's employees across the various units, from the use of various technologies and various IT systems.
Operational risk management at Max complies with Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directives, which determine, among other things, basic risk management principles. Risk management at Max is an ongoing process of identifying and assessing risks, ongoing measurement of the exposures and capital requirements to cover these risks and reporting to management and the Board of Directors.
Following are the key principles in operational risk management:
For further details regarding the operational risk, see Disclosure of Additional Information about Risks, which was posted on Max's website.
According to Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 361, Cyber Defense Management, the cyber risk is defined as the potential for damage resulting from an occurrence of a cyber incident, taking into account its probability and its severity of its impact. A cyber incident is an event during which the Company's IT and/or computer-embedded systems and infrastructures are attacked by, or on behalf of, opponents (whether external or internal to Max), and such attack may result in the materialization of the cyber risk.
In its capacity as a financial organization, Max is an attractive target for various attackers. The computer systems and communication networks that serve Max's customers are a target for cyber-attacks, the introduction of malwares, malicious code, phishing attacks, and other exposures aimed to damage Max's services, steal information or damage its database.
Max's business activities rely - to a large extent - on technology-based systems. Therefore, the availability of the systems, the reliability of the data, and maintaining the confidentiality of the data are essential for an orderly business activity. Furthermore, Max views business and customer information stored on its systems and on its suppliers' systems as a key asset and invests many efforts and resources in implementing advanced information security control and defense mechanisms and processes.
Max's information security and cyber security strategy paper defines its approach and objectives regarding information security and cyber security in accordance with Max's business strategy. The paper aims to constitute a framework for the information security and cyber security policy and work procedures in this field, which define the management and implementation principles, areas of responsibility, the relevant officers and their powers, and the operations and technologies used by Max. As part of the preparations it makes to deal with the various cyber threats, Max has in place and leads internal and external processes to mitigate the cyber threats posed against it and its customers. As part of the above, cyber security risks are mitigated through a number of security and control cycles, on several levels, in order to mitigate the potential exposures in respect of this threat.
A hybrid work routine, which combines remote work with on-site work, transferring business systems to cloud infrastructure, and the growing use of AI capabilities triggered a change in Max's exposure to cyber risks. Max adapted its defenses and controls against those risks and took steps to implement additional controls in order to enhance its defenses as part of the hybrid work environment.
Since the beginning of the War, there has been an increase in the number of cyber attacks taking place in Israel, and the number of anti-Israeli parties taking part in the attacks has been on the rise.
The attacks are mainly various DDoS attacks; there has also been a sharp rise in the number of malicious links sent by email and SMS messages, phishing messages, accessing unprotected private cameras, taking over social media accounts and distributing malicious software.
In addition, during the War there has been a high volume of psychological warfare and disinformation in the cyberspace, fake news regarding cyber attacks and in general, all aimed to generate fear among the Israeli public.
To date, no attacks have been identified, which penetrated Max's network. However, in view of the above, Max is preparing for potential attacks by tightening and strengthening its controls in this field and works to raise awareness among its employees.
In November 2024, the Banking Supervision Department published Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 364 - "Management of Information Technology Risks, Information Security and Cyber Security", which supersedes 3 existing Proper Conduct of Banking Business directives (Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 357 - "Information Technology Management", Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 361 - "Cyber Defense Management" and Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 363 - "Supply Chain Cyber Risk Management"). Max is working towards applying the directive at its effective date - April 2026.
A strategic risk is the risk of adversely affecting Max's income, capital, reputation or position as a result of erroneous business decisions, inappropriate implementation of decisions or lack of response to industry-specific, economic, regulatory and technological changes.
Strategic risks may be divided into 3 types:
* Internal environment - risks arising from decisions, processes or actions Max has taken or avoided taking.
Max currently faces significant challenges in all areas of activity, multiple threats in its core businesses alongside opportunities and dealing with material regulatory changes.
Strategic risk management in The Company is based on continuously assessing its strategy, including, among other things, the following activities:
Regulatory risk is the risk of loss due to the effect of future expected regulation, including legislation and/or directives issued by various regulators. Max is exposed to a regulatory risk with respect to all of its areas of activity.
The business environment in which Max operates is a dynamic environment, on which regulators and legislators currently focus. These regulatory changes were designed, among other things, to encourage competition in the field by reducing entry barriers and cutting costs to the customers, and protecting customers in the context of fair disclosure, etc. This regulatory framework mostly tightens the restrictions on activity in the industry and sometimes leads to a regulatory mismatch between Max and its competitors. However, a number of expected regulatory changes are expected to serve as a source of new business opportunities.
The management of the regulatory risk is carried out by regularly identifying new regulatory initiatives and referring them to the relevant function in Max and continuously reporting them to Max's management.
Upon its listing as a reporting corporation, Max is regulated by the Israel Securities Authority.
For more information regarding the new regulatory provisions relevant to Max's activities, see the corporate governance report, further details and appendices below.
Compliance risk is the risk of a legal or regulatory sanction being imposed, and/or a material financial loss and/or a reputational damage incurred by Max as a result of failing to comply with the laws and regulations. According to Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 308 on compliance, Max is required to mitigate all compliance risks arising from all the laws, regulations, guidance and circulars applicable to its activities. The management of the compliance risk is an integral part of Max's business activities and does not fall exclusively within the remit of the compliance function. The lines of business bear significant responsibility to the issue of compliance and play an active role in the management and mitigation of Max's exposure to compliance risks.
Max's compliance function operates bearing in mind the unique challenges Max faces on several levels in order to mitigate compliance risks. This is done while continuously assessing the evolving risk picture and applying a risk-based approach in the face of the state of emergency while integrating and implementing the various regulatory provisions.
The compliance function works continuously to integrate and implement the directives issued by the various regulators, adapting them to Max's activity in coordination with the business units.
The money laundering and/or financing of terrorism risk is the risk that the organization and its employees' fail to comply with the provisions of the law and regulation and the work processes for the implementation of the provisions at Max and consequently the imposition of a sanction and/or financial sanction and criminal liability on the corporation and its officers and adverse effect on Max's reputation.
Max adapts the work processes and controls to new typologies and regulatory provisions regarding the prohibition of money laundering and financing of terrorism.
Under these processes and in accordance with regulatory provisions and the requirements of international organizations, Max acted to validate and strengthen the dedicated processes associated with the fulfillment of Max's obligations regarding international sanctions, which have intensified since the outbreak of the War.
Max continues to adapt its internal monitoring, control and prevention processes in accordance with the risk management assessment and the potential of evolvement of various risks with an emphasis on countries at increased risk and/or high-risk sectors. Reports are delivered regularly to regulators.
The risk arising from an activity of Max regarding which there is a concern that it is not in line with legal provisions (whether primary or secondary legislation), directives and guidance issued by competent authorities, regulation, or case law, a risk arising from legal proceedings conducted against Max, and the risk arising from a concern that Max will breach contractual obligations. Legal risk is also defined as a deficient legal opinion, including drawing up agreements that do not adequately protect Max's rights, or failure to give appropriate guidance due to changes in legislation, regulatory directives, case law, or Max's contractual obligations.
Max's risk management approach was that the management of the legal risk is an integral part of the business environment. Consequently, decisions regarding the legal policy are made jointly by the business functions and by the legal counsels.
Max has a legal risk officer, whose purview involves mitigating Max's legal risk while reaching optimal correlation between Max's activities and the legal risks, such that the decision making will correspond to Max's risk appetite.
Legal counseling is provided to Max by its Legal Counsel Department in collaboration with the external attorneys Max works with.
Reputational risk is the potential that negative publications, market rumors, or the public perception or social protests regarding the operating methods of Max and its employees, will have an adverse effect on its reputation, and lead to a decline in its customer base, or result in high legal costs, or a decrease in revenue. The reputational risk is a natural part of Max's activities and is a company-wide risk. All of Max's products, activities, processes, and systems, as well as Max's collaborations with other companies and entities, embody a potential risk, whether as part of its business activities or as part of its administrative-internal activities, whether done maliciously or in good faith.
The management of the risk by Max is composed, first and foremost, of a process for identifying reputational exposures (any action which may be associated with the brand and lead to negative media coverage or discourse), which is addressed using the New Product Procedure. Monitoring and response are carried out continuously.
Macroeconomic risk is the risk that the income and capital of Max may be adversely affected by a deterioration in the macroeconomic environment in Israel and across the world. Max's business strategy and capital planning include assumptions, that are derived, among other things, from the macroeconomic environment, and Max assesses and evaluates the effect of the changes in the macroeconomic environment on its business results and capital planning.
The high interest rate environment is onerous for consumers and merchants and may affect the credit risk. Max monitors trends in the development of macroeconomic risk against the backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty, which arises, among other things, from the economic implications of the Iron Swords War and the effect of the downgrading of the State of Israel's rating. Max monitors and mitigates this risk continuously, and at this stage there is no material increase in the materialization of the potential risk.
On April 3, 2025, the President of the United States announced a new tariff plan on goods imported to the United States from various countries. Those countries include China, the European Union, the UK, Israel and others; under the plan, a 17% tariff will be imposed on exports from Israel to the United States. Max assesses the plan's effect on its business customers, both direct effects as a result of trade activities with the US and indirect effects of the tariff plan; Max continues to monitor potential developments and effects.
Max is assessing its ability to withstand adverse developments in the macroeconomic environment using systemic stress scenarios. Furthermore, Max continuously monitors various risk indicators, including macroeconomic indicators, and material changes in those indicators are discussed by the Financial Risk Management Forum, which is chaired by its Enterprise Risk Management Committee, which is chaired by its CEO and Board of Directors' Risk Committee.
Environmental risk is the risk of loss resulting of non-compliance with environmental protection directives and enforcement thereof. In recent years, the definition of environmental risk has expanded, and currently also includes the organization's effect on the environment even if it is not directly associated with a financial loss. Furthermore, the
risk is currently viewed as a global risk arising from the potential adverse effects of environmental changes, including on people, ecological systems, and economic and financial activities. Environmental risks arise not only due the pollution of air, water and land, but also due to damage to economic and social infrastructures, mainly due to climate change.
The climate risk is an evolving risk arising, among other things, from the impact of the materialization of environmental risks and from regulatory developments, developments in the business environment, and technological developments relating to the adaptation to climate change.
Max's management decided to implement environmental responsibility values and adapt its activities in order to protect the environment.
As from 2009, Max has ISO 14001:2015 certification and is assessed once a year by the IQC Institute of Quality & Control for compliance with the standard's requirements; inter alia, the environmental risk survey is revised and improved. As part of its implementation of the standard's provisions, Max takes action to increase awareness among its employees.
At the beginning of July 2024, the Company published an ESG report for 2022-2023, which summarizes and reflects the main activities of the Company, which impact the environment, society and corporate governance, out of a deep commitment and a sense of responsibility to the society and environment in Israel. Max opted to publish the report in view of the great importance it places on sharing with The Company's customers, employees and other stakeholders its actions in the above areas. The Company is preparing to implement Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive 345 - principles for the effective management of climate-related financial risks.
Model risk is the exposure to loss or to damage to Max's reputation, due to business decisions based on erroneous or biased model results, or on excessively broad interpretation of the model results. This risk may arise, among other things, due incompatibility of the model with the business reality, usability that is not in line with the designation, and errors in calculations and data when applying the model.
The principles for model risk management are defined in Max's policy, which outlines independent validation processes, corporate governance, authorization hierarchy, and risk management processes. The use of models in decision-making processes has been growing in recent years, and accordingly the model risk management system at the Company is compatible with this direction as appropriate and required. The Company changes the monitoring level and frequency in accordance with the level of domestic and global uncertainty, in order to mitigate and minimize the model risk.
In August 2024, the Banking Supervision Department published Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 369 "Model Risk Management". Max is working to implement the directive on its effective date - August 2025.
For details on the use of estimates and judgments in the preparation of financial statements, see Note 2(B) to the Financial Statements.
The independent auditors' report to the shareholders of the Company includes an emphasis of matter paragraph regarding that which is stated in Note 9 to the Financial Statements regarding exposure to contingent liabilities.
In December 2009, the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports (Amendment No. 3), 2009 were published, which deal with the corporation's internal control over financial reporting and disclosure function; their aim is to improve the quality of financial reporting and disclosure in reporting corporations.
An amendment of July 7, 2011 prescribes that a corporation that consolidates a banking corporation or an institutional entity or carries out proportionate consolidation of a banking corporation or an institutional entity, may opt to implement - only with regard to the internal control in that banking corporation or institutional entity - the format of assessing the effectiveness of internal control prescribed in the other laws applicable thereto in that respect, if such a format is in place regarding the quarterly report.
Accordingly, in addition to the officers' statements and the report on the effectiveness of internal control provided in the quarterly report, disclosure and officers' statements are attached in connection with the internal control in the consolidated institutional entities to which the Commissioner's Directives apply.
In addition to officers' statements regarding internal control in the consolidated credit card company, which is subject to the directives of the Banking Supervision Department regarding the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
In recent years, the Commissioner published a number of circulars (hereinafter - the "Commissioner's Circulars"), which are designed to implement the requirements of Section 302 and Section 404 of the SOX Act in insurance companies, in management companies of pension and provident funds, and in pension and provident funds (hereinafter - the "Institutional Entities").
Accordingly, Clal Insurance and the consolidated institutional entities included the information in accordance with the provisions of the law and the reporting provisions on the dates as set in those directives.
According to the Commissioner's circulars, which are based on Section 302 and Section 404 of the SOX Act, and as detailed in previous Reports of the Board of Directors of Clal Insurance, Clal Insurance has worked continuously to implement the required procedure in accordance with the said provisions, which includes an assessment of the work processes and the internal controls being implemented, in accordance with the stages and the dates set in the circulars. As part of this process, Clal Insurance adopted the internal control model of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) - the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission - which is a generally accepted framework for assessment of internal controls.
The management of Clal Insurance (the institutional entity), in collaboration with its CEO, Deputy CEO and Head of the Finance Division, have evaluated the effectiveness of Clal Insurance's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the Reporting Period. Based on this assessment, the CEO, Deputy CEO and Head of the Finance Division of Clal Insurance concluded that, as of the end of this period, the controls and procedures as to Clal Insurance's disclosure are sufficiently effective for recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting the information that Clal Insurance is required to disclose in its quarterly report in accordance with the provisions of the law and the reporting provisions set by the Commissioner, and on the date set out in these provisions.
During the quarter ending March 31, 2025, no changes took place in the internal control over financial reporting of the Group's institutional entity that had a material effect, or is expected to have a material effect, on the institutional entity's internal control over financial reporting.
The Company's first-time application date of IFRS 17 (hereinafter - "IFRS 17" or the "Standard") regarding insurance contracts, which superseded IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts - was January 1, 2025. In addition, on the abovementioned date the Company applies for the first time IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (hereinafter - "IFRS 9"), which supersedes IAS 39, Financial Instruments (hereinafter - "IAS 39") (see also Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies).
The application of the new provisions involved lengthy and complex preparations, which included, among other things, revising accounting policies, improving models and defining new models, creating databases and interfaces, integrating a selected technological application, etc.
Following the first-time application of the Commissioner's Directives, in the first quarter of 2025 there was a material change in the process of measuring liabilities and assets for insurance contracts, which are accounted for under IFRS 17, and a change in the process of classifying and measuring financial instruments in the Company, which are accounted for under IFRS 9.
In order to prepare the data of liabilities and assets for insurance contracts and financial instrument data (hereinafter - "These Data") and for the purpose of assessing the effectiveness of the controls and procedures regarding their disclosure for the first quarter, the Company made preparations in accordance with the roadmap set by the Commissioner, to map the control environment associated with the work processes of These Data. As part of the preparations, the work processes associated with These Data were assessed, and the map of controls and risks was revised. Most of the new and revised controls, especially those associated with data integrity, analysis and reasonableness of results, had already been integrated under the preparation of the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024 . Additional controls, including those relating to the new disclosures required in financial reporting, were integrated under the preparation of the Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025.
The Company continues to develop the required reports and to improve and develop the process of preparing the data of liabilities and assets for insurance contracts and financial instrument data, including the control and risk map.
Officers' Statements on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Disclosure, in relation to the relevant processes, in accordance with the Commissioner's Circulars, are attached to the report.
The Banking Supervision Department's directives impose the requirements of Sections 302 and 404 of the SOX Act on credit card companies.
These sections, set by the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, have established provisions with regard to the abovementioned sections, on management's responsibility for instating and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures and for exercising internal control over financial reporting and the opinion of the independent auditors on the audit of internal control over financial reporting.
Among other things, the Banking Supervision Department's directives prescribe that banking corporations shall apply the provisions of Sections 302 and 404 and the SEC directives issued thereunder. In addition, adequate internal control requires an auditing function that follows a predefined, recognized framework, and the model of COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) meets these requirements and can be used to evaluate the internal controls.
Max It Finance Ltd. (hereinafter - "Max") implements the provision in accordance with the Banking Supervision Department's directives as stated above.
Max's management, with the cooperation of its CEO and Chief Accountant, have evaluated the effectiveness of Max's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the Reporting Period. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the Chief Accountant have concluded that, as of the end of the Reporting Period, Max's disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purpose of recording, processing, summarizing and reporting the information that the Company is required to disclose in its quarterly financial statements pursuant to the Banking Supervision Department's Reporting to the Public Directives and as of the date prescribed by the Directives.
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, no changes took place in Max's internal control over financial reporting that had a material effect, or is expected to have a material effect, on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Officers' Statements on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Disclosure, in relation to the relevant processes, in accordance with the Commissioner's Circulars, are attached to the report.
The Board of Directors wishes to thank the employees, managers and agents of Group companies for their contribution to the Group's achievements.

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter - the "Group"), including the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2025 and the condensed consolidated statements of profit and loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of financial information for this interim period in accordance with the Israel Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, which pertain to holding companies of insurers and credit card companies, as described in Note 2(a) to the Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the financial information for this interim period based on our review.
We did not review the condensed interim financial information of the equity-accounted investee, the investment in which amounted to approx. NIS 96 million as of March 31, 2025, and the Group's share in the income of which amounted to approx. NIS 4 million for the three-month period then ended. The condensed interim financial information of the company was audited by other independent auditors, whose review report was furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to financial information in respect of the company, is based on the review report of the other independent auditors.
We performed our review pursuant to Review Standard (Israel) 2410 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of inquiries, mostly of persons responsible for financial and accounting issues, and of applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially smaller in scope than an audit performed pursuant to generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and, as a result, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that may be identified in an audit. Consequently, we are not expressing an audit opinion.
Based on our review and the review report of other independent auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the abovementioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the Israel Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, which pertain to holding companies of insurers and credit card companies, as described in Note 2(a) to the financial information.
Without qualifying the above conclusion, we draw attention to that which is stated in Note 9 to the consolidated interim financial statements regarding exposure to contingent liabilities.

Further to Note 1 to the Financial Statements for 2024, Alrov reported that, on May 27, 2025, the Commissioner had notified it of his intention to reject the application for a control permit over Clal Insurance filed on December 24, 2023, subject to allowing Alrov's to make its claims on the subject before the Commissioner. Alrov reported that it was studying the Commissioner's position, which it deems erroneous, and that it will consider its reaction in accordance with the law.
For further details, see Note 1 to the Financial Statements for 2024.
On April 1, 2025, the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee passed the second and third readings of the Companies Law Bill (Amendment No. 37) (Corporate Governance in Public Companies without a Controlling Shareholder), 2023. The bill proposes to adjust the corporate governance rules that apply to companies without a controlling shareholder, in order to safeguard the interests of investors in such companies. Several changes have been made to the bill, such as revoking the prohibition on an independent director's affinity to any director. The law will come into force subject to regulations which will be brought for approval by the Committee, and in any case - not prior to July 2026, and in any case - transitional provisions will apply to serving directors.
To date, Clal Holdings and the Company are unable to assess the implications of the bill and the regulations which will be promulgated, to the extent that they are promulgated, and their effect, due to, among other things, the fact that strict provisions apply to Clal Holdings by virtue of its status as the controlling shareholder in an insurance company.
As of the reporting date, the Company is unable to assess the full effect of the outcomes of the events detailed above and in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024, among other things, due to the fact that the Company is the controlling shareholder of Clal Insurance and in view of the restrictions imposed under the Outline for Exercising Means Of Control in Clal Insurance, which significantly limit the extent of the Company's influence over the conduct of Clal Insurance and the appointment of officers in Clal, and the Company is still evaluating its implications and applicability over time. This uncertainty also applies in view of additional changes that are taking place in the Company and that may occur in the future, due to its holdings structure, the fact that it is a company without a control core with a substantial shareholder, and due to the fact that the provisions of the Supervision Law for insurers without a controlling shareholder do not apply to it, and due to the different corporate structure of the large insurance companies in Israel compared with the standard structure in banks, according to which the insurance companies, including Clal Insurance, are private companies which are controlled by a holding company, including the Company, which is a publicly-traded company without a control core, and due to the effective impact of the holders of non-controlling interests on the conduct of the Company under the above circumstances.
Furthermore, the set of changes and events described above and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024, if they continue, may and will affect, among other things, the reputation of the Company and the Group companies. It is noted that a future transfer of control of the Company to a third party may affect clauses in certain agreements of Group companies with third parties (including reinsurers) and may require, once circumstances involving such change of control exist, negotiations with such third parties for the agreements to remain in effect.

The consolidated interim financial statements of the Group as of March 31, 2025 and the three-month period then ended, were prepared in accordance with the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, which refer to holding companies of insurers and credit card companies.
Through December 31, 2022, the Group's consolidated financial statements were drawn up in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (hereinafter - "IFRS" or "International Financial Reporting Standards"), including in connection with the data relating to insurer consolidated subsidiaries, which meet the definition of insurer, as defined in the Securities Regulations (Preparation of Annual Financial Statements), 2010.
As detailed in Note 3 below, in accordance with requirements set by the Commissioner, the first-time application date of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments was postponed to January 1, 2025 (instead of the first-time application date which was set by the standard - January 1, 2023). Consequently, during the periods between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024, the Company continued to apply IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, and IAS 39, Financial Instruments (issued in 2017), to the data in the Group's consolidated financial statements with respect to Clal Insurance, as aforesaid. In other matters, the Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs.
Furthermore, on March 27, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of CIMax Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter - "CIMax"), which consolidates in its financial statements the credit card company Max It Finance Ltd. (hereinafter - "Max"). In accordance with the Preparation of Financial Statements Regulations, the information in the Group's consolidated financial statements relating to Max from the completion date of the acquisition of CIMax was prepared in accordance with the guidelines and directives of the Banking Supervision Department; for further details, see Notes 3 below. These directives basically adopt the US GAAP.
In light of the above, as of January 1, 2023, the consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. In accordance with these provisions, the financial statements data which relate to Clal Insurance - a consolidated company which falls within the definition of insurer, as defined in the Securities Regulations (Preparation of Annual Financial Statements), 2010, as well as a subsidiary which meets the definition of a credit card company, were prepared in accordance with the requirements set by the Commissioner in accordance with the Financial Services Supervision Law (Insurance), 1981.
As of January 1, 2025, the Group applies IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 for the first time to data in the financial statements which relate to the subsidiary as stated above; since the Group does adjust for data which relate to the subsidiary which meets the definition of insurer, the effects of the first-time application at the group level are in accordance with the effects of the first-time application to Clal Insurance. The effect of the transition to reporting in accordance with IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 on the Group's financial position and its operating results and cash flows with respect to the financial data relating to Clal Insurance is specified in Note 14 below.
The comparative figures for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 were taken from the Company's Annual Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024 and the year ended on that date and notes attached thereto (hereinafter - the "Consolidated Interim Financial Statements") and from the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2024, respectively, except for the adjustments following the application of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, for Clal Insurance, which have been reviewed but not yet audited.
As stated, in light of the postponement of the application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, on January 1, 2025, the Group adopted the IFRSs for the first time with respect to a subsidiary which meets the definition of an insurer, with the transition date to reporting according to the IFRSs being January 1, 2024.
The accounting policies applied to the financial statements have been applied consistently across all the periods presented, unless stated otherwise.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all the information required in the full annual financial statements. They should be read together with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (hereinafter - the "Annual Financial Statements"). In addition, these reports have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Chapter D of the Israel Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, insofar as these regulations apply to a corporation consolidating insurance companies and a credit card company.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved for publication by the Company's Board of Directors on May 28, 2025.
The preparation of the Group's said Condensed Interim Financial Statements requires that the Group's management use judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. It is clarified that the actual results may differ from those estimates.
Except for that which is detailed below and stated in Note 3A, the judgment of management, when applying the Group's accounting policies and the principal assumptions used in assessments that involve uncertainty, are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements. The estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates were adjusted and for any future affected period,
Changes in significant estimates and judgments made following the application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 in the subsidiary include the following:

Except as specified in Section A below, the Group's accounting policies in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are the same as the accounting policies applied to the Annual Financial Statements. Following is a description of the main changes to the accounting policy in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and their effect:
Initial application of new IFRSs and amendments to existing accounting standards by the Group companies, which implement IFRS and the directives of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority (see Note 2.A above)
The Group's first-time application date of IFRS 17 (hereinafter - "IFRS 17" or the "Standard") regarding insurance contracts, which superseded IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts - was January 1, 2025.
As stated in Note 2.A above, in light of the postponement of the application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, the Group adopted the IFRSs for the first time on January 1, 2025, and the transition date to reporting in accordance with the IFRSs is January 1, 2024. The effect of the transition to IFRS reporting, including the effect of the application of IFRS 17 on the Group's financial position, operating results and cash flows is detailed in Note 14 below.
For the purpose of the preparations made by insurance companies in Israel for the adoption of IFRS 17, the Commissioner published an insurance circular entitled Professional Issues Pertaining to the Application of IFRS 17 in Israel (hereinafter - the "Professional Issues Circular"). The accounting policy chosen by the Company, which is described below, is based, among other things, on this circular.
Following are the main changes in the accounting policy chosen by the Company, following the application of the Standard as from January 1, 2024:
The Company identifies insurance contracts as contracts in which the Company accepts a significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder (or the beneficiary to the contract) for a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) which adversely affects the policyholder and the amount or timing of which is uncertain.
The Company determines whether an insurance contract contains a significant insurance risk if the insured event could cause the Company to pay the policyholder additional amounts that are significant in any single scenario with any commercial substance even if the occurrence of the insured event is highly unlikely, or even if the expected present value of the contingent cash flows is a small proportion of the expected present value of the remaining cash flows from the insurance contract. In making this assessment, the Company takes into account all of its actual substantive rights and obligations, whether arising from a contract, law or regulation. In addition to the significant insurance risk, some insurance contracts also transfer financial risk to the Company, such as a guaranteed rate of return.
Similarly to the accounting policy applied to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024, the Company chose to continue to account for Sale Law guarantee contracts as an insurance contract and "reverse mortgage" loans as financial instruments.
The Company does not issue reinsurance contracts nor does it issue investment contracts with discretionary participation features. Some of the contracts entered into by the Company have the legal form of an insurance contract but do not transfer a significant insurance risk (savings policies without insurance coverage). These contracts are classified as financial liabilities and referred to as 'investment contracts'.
In addition, the Company enters into insurance risk transfer agreements, with the appropriate premiums, with one or more reinsurers. In the event that the reinsurers are unable to fulfill their obligations, the Company remains liable to its policyholders for the reinsured portion. These types of contracts are defined as reinsurance contracts held. The purpose of the reinsurance contracts held is to mitigate the Company's significant insurance risk in respect of the underlying insurance contracts.
An insurance contract may contain one or more components, which would be within the scope of another standard if they were separate contracts. The Company has not identified components (such as: investment components, service components and embedded derivatives), which it is required to separate from its insurance contracts, and accordingly, it does not expect to separate from the insurance contracts components, which will fall within the scope of another standard.
At initial recognition, the Company determines the level of the aggregation of insurance contracts issued by it by dividing the businesses into portfolios of insurance contracts and will not change the composition of the groups thereafter. A portfolio of insurance contracts includes groups of contracts with similar risks that are managed together. The Company has defined the portfolios of the insurance contracts issued based on its main product lines and subject to the Commissioner's guidance, as set out in the Professional Issues Circular. Following is the list of insurance contracts portfolios defined by the Company, by operating segment:
Policies without a savings component - Permanent health insurance coverage.
The insurance contract portfolios are then split into groups of contracts issued within an annual period (by calendar year) and profitability groups, as follows:
In addition, insurance contracts measured according to IFRS 17 using various measurement models, as explained below, (the General Measurement Model (the GMM Model), the Variable Fee Approach (the VFA Model) and the Premium Allocation Approach (the PAA Model)) will not be included in the same group of insurance contracts.
An insurance contract is onerous at the date of initial recognition if the fulfilment cash flows allocated to the contract determined on a probability-weighted basis are a net outflow. The Company's assessment of whether contracts are onerous is based on reasonable and supportable information.
In determining the groups of contracts, the Company chose to include in that group contracts where the practical ability of the Company to set prices or levels of benefits for a policy with different features is specifically limited by law or regulation. Accordingly, the Company opted to include the Company's relative share in compulsory motor insurance policies issued through the Pool in the same group as the ordinary compulsory motor insurance policies issued by the Company.
The Company determines the level of aggregation of reinsurance contracts held by dividing them into portfolios based on its main product lines, as similar as possible to the level of aggregation of insurance contracts issued by it. Some of the reinsurance contracts acquired provide coverage for underlying insurance contracts that are included in various insurance contract groups. However, the legal form of these contracts, as a single contract, reflects the nature of the Company's contractual rights and obligations, given that the various coverages of the contract expire at the same time and are not sold separately. As a result, the acquired reinsurance contract is not separated into separate insurance components relating to different basic groups. Reinsurance contract portfolios are then split into groups of contracts issued within an annual period (by calendar year).
The Company recognizes a group of insurance contracts it issues from the earliest of the following:
A group of reinsurance contracts held will be recognized on the following dates:
In measuring a group of insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts, the Company includes all future cash flows included within the contract boundary. Cash flows are within the boundary of an insurance contract if they arise from substantive rights and obligations (disregarding terms and conditions with no commercial substance) that exist during the reporting period in which the Company can compel the policyholder to pay the premiums (or in which it has an obligation to pay the reinsurer) or in which the Company as a substantive obligation to provide the policyholder with services (or to receive services from the reinsurer). A substantive obligation to provide insurance services ends when:
• The Company has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the particular policyholder and, as a result, can set a price or level of benefits that fully reflects those risks, or
For reinsurance contracts held, a substantive obligation to receive services ends when the reinsurer has a practical ability to reassess the risk transferred to it, and as a result can set a price or level of benefits that fully reflect those risks, or when the reinsurer has a substantive right to terminate the contract. Reinsurance contract boundaries include both cash flows in respect of underlying insurance contracts which have already been issued and cash flows for underlying contracts which the Company expects to issue (and deliver to the reinsurer) in the contract period, if the Company and the reinsurer do not have the right to cancel or reprice the obligation to deliver these expected futures.
For insurance contracts with renewal periods, the Company assesses whether the premiums and related cash flows that arise from the renewed contract are within the boundary of the original contract. The pricing of renewals is determined by the Company after it has examined the risks of a policyholder's coverages and, based on the pricing of new contracts with equivalent risks, terms and conditions as of the renewal date. The Company reassesses the contract boundary of each group of insurance contracts at the end of each reporting period.
Liabilities or assets relating to expected premiums or expected claims outside the boundary of the insurance contract are not recognized - such amounts relate to future insurance contracts.
IFRS 17 provides three measurement methods for insurance contracts:
The Company applies the GMM Model to all life and health insurance portfolios, except for life insurance policy portfolios that include a yield-dependent savings component, which are measured in accordance with the VFA Model and a travel policy portfolio measured in accordance with the PAA model.
At initial recognition, the Company measures an insurance contract group as the total amount of cash flows for the fulfillment of a contract plus the contractual service margin (hereinafter - "CSM") (if any).
Fulfilment cash flows include a probability-weighted estimate - the probabilities of future cash flows, discounted to reflect the time value of money and financial risks, plus risk adjustment for non-financial risk (hereinafter - "RA" or "risk adjustment").
The Company estimates future cash flows within the contract boundary by taking into account evidence of past events, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions in order to reflect market variables and non-market variables which affect the cash flow estimate. The estimated cash flows is based on the expected, probabilityweighted value, which reflects the average of the full range of possible outcomes except for the estimate of asymmetrical insurance liability flows (including imputation of future variable management fees) based on a stochastic model, and includes explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk. The risk adjustment for non-financial risk represents the compensation which the Company requires for bearing the uncertainty about the amount and timing of the cash flows that arises from non-financial risk when fulfilling the insurance contracts.
The assumptions and estimates are reviewed in each reporting period to ensure they adequately reflect past conditions, and reflect current, past, and future conditions.
When estimating the fulfilment cash flows for a contract, the Company includes all cash flows directly relating to the fulfillment of insurance contracts within the contract boundary, including:
• Premiums, including premium adjustments and instalment premiums, from a policyholder;
The contractual service margin (CSM) for a group of insurance contracts represents the unearned profit the entity will recognize as it provides insurance contract services for these contracts in the future.
At initial recognition, the measurement of the contractual service margin or loss component is comprised on the following components:
If at the initial recognition date, the total amount of these components is a net inflow, the group of insurance contracts does not constitute an onerous group, and a contractual service margin measured as an amount equal to and inverse to the sum of those components is recognized, such that no profit is generated at the initial recognition date.
On the other hand, the total amount of these components is a net outflow, the group of insurance contracts constitutes an onerous group, and an immediate loss measured as a sum equal to and inverse to the sum of those components is recognized.
Estimates of future cash flows to fulfill insurance contracts are adjusted to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to those cash flows (if the financial risks are not included in the cash flow estimates).
The Company measures the time value of money using discount rates that are consistent with observable current market prices and which reflect the liquidity features of the insurance contracts. These discount rates exclude the effect of factors that influence such observable market prices but do not affect the future cash flows of the insurance contracts (for example, credit risk).
The Company applies the bottom-up approach for determining discount rates and return assumptions (if any), which is the default approach in accordance with the Professional Issues Circular published by the Commissioner. In this approach, the discount rate is obtained by adding the illiquidity premium (which reflects the liability's illiquidity) to the risk-free interest rate curve. The risk-free interest rate curve is based on yields to maturity of liquid
bonds of the Israeli government. The last liquid point is the 25th year. Beyond this point, the Company sets the risk-free interest rate curves by way of extrapolation - in accordance with the Smith-Wilson method - up to the ultimate forward rate, which is set at 60 years. The full illiquidity premium is set based on the average spread of the bonds included in the Tel-Bond 60 Index. This premium is added in full or in part to the risk-free interest rate curve in accordance with the illiquidity characteristics of the relevant cash flows, according to their weights with respect to the full illiquidity premium. The Company opted to use the default weights set by the Commissioner in the Professional Issues Circular.
Following are the interest rates, including the illiquidity premium with the appropriate weights, divided into main time bands, used by the Company to determine the discount rates and the return in measuring the insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts (the aggregation of portfolios is done in accordance with the illiquidity premium weights applied):

Risk adjustment - The RA reflects the compensation, which the Company demands for bearing the uncertainty regarding the amount and timing of the cash flows arising from non-financial risks. The assumptions regarding nonfinancial risks mainly include mortality, longevity, morbidity, lapse risk, and expense risk.
The purpose of the risk adjustment is to reflect the level of diversification benefit that the Company includes in setting the compensation it claims for bearing that risk as well as the Company's risk aversion level.
The non-financial risk margin is determined using the Value at Risk (VaR) technique, which reflects the expected loss due to the materialization of risks relevant to the risk features of the various coverages given a one-year horizon (similarly to the economic solvency regime) and a confidence interval (statistical confidence level) in accordance with the Commissioner's guidance. It is expected that the confidence interval, which was determined at the Company level, before the effect of the diversification benefits, is 75% except for a long-term care portfolio, for which a 90% rate was set due to its inherent risk features, in accordance with the Commissioner's guidance in the Professional Issues Circular.
For property and casualty insurance, the Company applies the "best practice" principles (with certain adjustments) to determine the non-financial risk margin before the effect of segment diversification.
In determining the non-financial risk margin at the portfolio level, the Company takes into account the diversification benefit between the Company's various portfolios and segments.
For reinsurance contracts held, the Company calculates the non-financial risk margin in the manner detailed above, on a gross (without the effect of reinsurance) and retention (after the effect of reinsurance) basis, and sets the nonfinancial risk margin transferred to the reinsurer as the amount of the difference between gross and retention as detailed above.
Insurance acquisition cash flows are cash flows arising from the costs of selling, underwriting and starting a group of insurance contracts which were issued or are expected to be issued (including future insurance contracts or renewals of existing insurance contracts which are outside the contract boundary) that are directly attributable to the portfolio of insurance contracts to which the group belongs.
The Company methodically attributes the insurance acquisition cash flows that are directly attributable to groups of insurance contracts within the portfolio.
The carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at each reporting period is the sum total of the liability for remaining coverage and liability for incurred claims.
• The liability for remaining coverage comprising: the fulfilment cash flows related to future service allocated to the group at that date and the remaining contractual service margin of the group at that date.
• The liability for incurred claims, comprising the fulfilment cash flows related to past service, including cash flows related to known claims which have yet to be paid (payable claims), claims incurred but not enough reported (IBNER) and claims incurred but not reported (IBNR).
Fulfilment cash flows for insurance contracts groups are measured at the reporting date using current estimates of future cash flows, current discount rates and current estimates of the risk adjustment for non-financial risk.
For a group of insurance contracts, the carrying amount of the contractual service margin (CSM) of a group of contracts at the end of the reporting period equals the carrying amount at the start of the reporting period adjusted for:
The changes in the fulfilment cash flows relating to future service that adjust the contractual service margin include the following:
Changes in fulfilment cash flows relating to current services or recognized past service in the income statement as part of the insurance services expenses. Changes relating to the effects of the time value of money and financial risks are recognized as 'net finance expenses (income) arising from insurance contracts'.
When measuring the fulfillment cash flows, changes relating to future services are measured using current discount rates, but the CSM is adjusted to reflect these changes using the discount rates set in the initial recognition. The implementation of the two different interest rates generates a profit or loss, which is recognized under insurance finance income or expenses.
This model is a modification of the GMM model and applies to contracts with direct participation features. Insurance contracts with direct participation features are insurance contracts under which the Company promises an investment return to the policyholder based on underlying items. That is to say, the contract includes a significant service associated with investments.
The Company applies the VFA Model to all life insurance policy portfolios that include a yield-dependent savings component in that they have direct participation features that provide the policyholder with a substantial share of the fair value returns on a clearly identified asset portfolio (underlying items).
Reinsurance contracts held by the Company do not qualify for measurement using the VFA model, in accordance with the standard's provisions.
The Company recognizes an insurance contract according to the Variable Fee Approach (VFA) if at the initial recognition date, it meets all of the following conditions (cumulatively):
The conditions for classifying insurance contracts to the VFA model is carried out at the initial recognition date, and no reassessment is carried out thereafter (except in cases of a material contract modification that results in the derecognition of the original contract).
At initial recognition, the liability for insurance contracts in the VFA model is measured according to the principles of the GMM Model.
For a group of insurance contracts measured according to the VFA Model, the carrying amount of the contractual service margin (CSM) of a group of contracts at the end of the reporting period equals the carrying amount at the start of the reporting period adjusted for:
Under the management of its business and the Commissioner's guidance, the Company is required to manage investment portfolios of assets held for yield-dependent insurance policies. Under such portfolios, the Company may actually hold financial assets, whose total amount exceeds the nominal aggregate value of the yielddependent policies accounted for by the VFA approach, in order to hedge the effects of additional financial exposures arising from those policies, including with regard to the effect of guaranteed annuity conversion factors, all in accordance with the Company's objective and risk mitigation strategy.
The Company opted to apply the risk mitigation alternative to changes in the cash flows for the performance of a contract arising from changes in the time value of money and financial risks in the relevant insurance liabilities, which are hedged through those assets. Therefore, the aforementioned changes will be recognized in profit or loss under the "Net finance expenses (income) from insurance contracts' concurrently with the income or expenses, which will arise in respect of the abovementioned assets. It is noted that the Company assesses and may periodically assess the amount of excess assets under management be held in practice under the participating portfolio in order to hedge the yield-dependent liabilities, if any.
The Company applies the PAA Model to all P&C insurance contracts and travel insurance contracts. The Premium Allocation Approach constitutes an optional approach for measuring the liability for the remaining coverage (LRC) in relation to the general model, insofar as the contracts have a coverage period of one year or less or the Company expects that such simplification will not lead to a measurement of the liability for remaining coverage that is materially different than the general model.
The conditions for classifying insurance contracts to the PAA model is carried out at the initial recognition date, and no reassessment is carried out thereafter (except in cases of a material contract modification that results in the derecognition of the original contract).
At initial recognition, the liability for the remaining coverage (LRC) is measured as the sum of the premiums received at initial recognition, less cash flows for any insurance acquisition cash flows (unless recognized as an immediate expense), plus or net of any amount resulting from the derecognition at that date of an insurance acquisition cash flows asset plus or minus any other asset or liability previously recognized in respect of cash flows relating to a group of contracts.
The Company chose to recognize the insurance acquisition cash flows incurred as an adjustment for the liability for the remaining coverage rather than as an immediate expense, except in respect of the portfolios included in Clal Credit Insurance.
The Company chose not to adjust the carrying amount of the liability for the remaining coverage in order to reflect the time value of money and the effect of the financial risk if, upon initial recognition, the Company expects that the period between the provision of any part of the services and the repayment date of the related premium does not exceed one year or if the period exceeds one year, but the insurance contracts do not have a significant financing component.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company measures the liability for the remaining coverage for contracts measured in accordance with the Premium Allocation Approach as the carrying value of the liability for the remaining coverage at the beginning of the period, adjusted for the following:
If at any time during the coverage period, facts and circumstances indicate that a group of insurance contracts accounted for under the Premium Allocation Approach is onerous, the Company recognizes an immediate loss in the statement of income against an increase in the liability for the remaining coverage as the amount of the difference between the carrying amount of the liability for the remaining coverage in accordance with the principles of the PAA Model and the fulfilment cash flows relating to the remaining coverage of the group, in applying the principles of the GMM model.
The liability for incurred claims is calculated in accordance with the same principles as those used in the GMM model. With regard to future cash flows in the framework of incurred claims that are expected to be paid or received within a year or less from the date on which the claims were incurred, the Company chose to adjust these cash flows for the time value of money and for the effect of the financial risk.
The accounting policy used to measure a group of insurance contracts under the General Measurement Model (GMM) applies to the measurement of a group of reinsurance contracts held measured according to the GMM model, using the following adjustments:
At each reporting date, the carrying amount of a group of reinsurance contracts held is the amount of the remaining coverage component and incurred claims component. The remaining coverage component includes the remaining fulfilment cash flows relating to services received under the reinsurance contracts held in future periods as well as the remaining contractual service margin.
In measuring the estimates of the present value of the future cash flows for a group of reinsurance contracts held, the Company makes use of assumptions consistent with those used to measure the present value of the future cash flows for the group (or groups) of the underlying insurance contracts.
The risk adjustment for non-financial risk represents the amount of risk that the Company transfers to the reinsurer.
At initial recognition, the contractual service margin of a group of reinsurance contracts held reflects a net cost (asset) or net income (liability) in reinsurance acquisition. The contractual service margin is recognized on the date of initial recognition in an amount equal and inverse to the total fulfilment cash flows, net of the amount derecognized on that date of any asset or any liability previously recognized in respect of cash flows relating to a group of reinsurance contracts held, plus or minus any cash flows arising on that date as well as any income recognized in profit or loss due to a loss recognized with respect to onerous underlying insurance contracts recognized on that date.
The Company adjusts the carrying value of the contractual service margin of a group of reinsurance contracts held to reflect changes in the fulfilment cash flows, in accordance with the same principles as issued insurance contracts, except when the underlying insurance contracts are onerous and the changes in the fulfilment cash flows for the underlying insurance contracts are recognized in profit or loss by adjusting the loss component. In this case, the corresponding changes in the reinsurance contracts held are also recognized in the profit or loss (by adjusting the loss recovery component).
Deposits held by the Company under the reinsurance contracts held, constitute part of the carrying value of the assets for reinsurance contracts held.
Subject to the conditions for applying the PAA Model (as detailed above), the Company applies the PAA Model for all reinsurance contracts held for which the relating underlying insurance contracts are also measured according to the PAA Model, as well as for catastrophe reinsurance contracts in the Life and Health Segments.
The Company adjusts the contractual service margin of a group of reinsurance contracts held measured in accordance with the GMM Model or the carrying value of the asset for the remaining coverage of a group of reinsurance contracts held measured in accordance with the PAA Model, and as a result - recognizes revenue, with the entity recognizing a loss on initial recognition of an onerous group of underlying insurance contracts or when adding onerous underlying insurance contracts to the group, if the Company has entered into the relating reinsurance contract held before or at the same time as the onerous underlying insurance contracts are recognized.
The amount of the adjustment to the contractual service margin or carrying value of the asset for the remaining coverage is determined by multiplying the loss recognized in respect of the underlying insurance contracts by the rate of recovery in respect of the underlying insurance contracts that the Company expects to recover from the group of reinsurance contracts held. The amount of the adjustment shall not exceed the portion of the carrying value of the loss component of the onerous group of underlying insurance contracts that the Company expects to recover from the group of reinsurance contracts held.
The loss recovery component is created or adjusted for a group of reinsurance contracts held to reflect the adjustment to the contractual service margin or the carrying value of the asset for the remaining coverage, as applicable. The loss recovery component determines the amounts presented in subsequent periods in the statement of income as the reversal of losses from reinsurance contracts held and as a result - they are excluded from the allocation of premiums paid to the reinsurer under reinsurance expenses.
The contractual service margin (CSM) is a component of a group of insurance contracts measured under the GMM Model and the VFA Model representing the expected unearned profit that the Company will recognize when it provides insurance contract services under these contracts. Insurance contract services provided by the Company include insurance coverages, return on investment services for certain GMM contracts, and a service relating to investment in VFA contracts.
An amount from the contractual service margin of a group of insurance contracts is recognized in the statement of income as revenues from insurance services over the coverage period by allocating the remaining contractual service margin at the end of the reporting period (prior to the release to profit or loss) in a format that reflects the insurance contract services provided by the Company in connection with those contracts. This pattern is determined based on the coverage units, which were provided during the period compared to the coverage units, which are expected to be provided in the future. The number of coverage units in a group is the quantity of coverage services provided by the contracts in the group, determined by considering for each contract the quantity of the benefits provided under a contract and its expected coverage period.
The following are the coverage units used to release the contractual service margin of the main portfolios:
| Type of coverage Non yield-dependent savings component (guaranteed) Yield-dependent savings component (participating) |
Coverage units - Accrual and annuities - Accrual and annuities |
|---|---|
| Life insurance Permanent health insurance |
- Insurance amount (amount at risk) - Insurance amount (monthly compensation amount multiplied by duration) |
| Individual and collective long-term care | - Insurance amount (monthly compensation amount multiplied by duration) |
| Medical expenses - private individual | - No. of coverages |
| Medical expenses - collective | - No. of coverages |
| Critical illnesses | - Insurance amount (amount at risk) |
| Personal accidents | - Insurance amount (amount at risk) |
Coverage units are adjusted for survivability effect.
When a group of insurance contracts includes several types of insurance coverages and/or investment services, the Company weighs the different insurance units on the basis of the expected amount of benefits for the policyholder from each type of coverage or service.
The coverage units for reinsurance contracts held are consistent with the coverage units for the underlying contracts, according to the proportion transferred to the reinsurer, with adjustments in respect of the differences in the services provided.
For the purpose of allocating the contractual service margin to the coverage units, the Company opted to discount the coverage units.
The Company presents separately in the statement of financial position the balances of insurance contract portfolios which constitute assets, and the balances of insurance contract portfolios which constitute liabilities, portfolios of reinsurance contracts which constitute assets and portfolios of reinsurance contracts held which constitute liabilities. In addition, the Company presents separately in the income statement revenues from insurance services, expenses from insurance services, reinsurance expenses, reinsurance revenues, financing income or financing expenses arising from insurance contracts and financing expenses or financing income arising from reinsurance contracts.
The Company's revenues from insurance services describe the provision of insurance services in a period that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The consideration recognized as revenues from insurance services constitutes the amount of premiums paid to the Company, adjusted for the effect of financing and net of any non-distinct investment components.
Non-distinct investment components which were not separated from existing insurance contracts - mainly in life insurance policies which include a savings component - represent the amounts that the Company will reimburse the policyholder under any scenario, regardless of whether an insured event had occurred, rather than amounts received in return for the provision of the insurance services, and therefore these amounts are not included either in the revenues from insurance services for the consideration received for the services provided nor in the expenses from the insurance services for the claims and expenses paid.
Revenues from insurance services from contracts measured in accordance with the GMM and VFA Model are calculated on the basis of the amount of all changes in the liability for the remaining coverage relating to the services provided during the period for which the Company expects to receive consideration, plus an allocation of the premium amount relating to the recovery of insurance acquisition cash flows for the reporting period. The Company has chosen to carry out the allocation in accordance with the same coverage units used to release the contractual service margin.
Revenues from insurance services from contracts measured in accordance with the PAA Model, including allocation of the amount of premiums relating to the recovery of insurance acquisition cash flows, are recognized based on the passage of time.
Insurance service expenses arising from insurance contracts are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred and do not include repayments of investment components. Expenses from insurance services include:
Finance income or expenses from insurance consist of the change in the carrying value of the group of insurance contracts arising from:
These effects also include the changes in the fair value of underlying items (FVUIs) relating to insurance contracts measured in accordance with the VFA Model as well as the effects of applying the 'risk mitigation' alternative.
The Company has chosen to recognize all financing revenues or expenses from insurance contracts in profit or loss.
The Company has chosen to split the change in risk adjustment for non-financial risk (RA) between the results of insurance services and finance income or finance expenses from insurance.
The Company presents separately in the consolidated statements of income the amounts that are expected to be recovered from the reinsurers, and the allocation of reinsurance premiums paid. The Company considers reinsurance cash flows dependent on claims for the underlying contracts as part of the claims expected to be recovered under a reinsurance contract held, excluding investment components and fees and commissions from the allocation of reinsurance premiums presented in the consolidated income statements. Amounts relating to recovery of losses related to reinsurance for onerous underlying contracts are included as amounts recoverable from the reinsurer.
When the terms and conditions of the insurance contracts are amended, the Company examines whether the amendment is substantial enough to lead to the derecognition of the original contract and recognition of the amended contract as a new contract. Exercising a right included in the terms and conditions of the original contract does not constitute an amendment. If the amendment of the contract does not lead to derecognition and recognition of a new contract, the effect of the amendment is treated as an change in the estimate of the fulfilment cash flows, recognized as an experience adjustment of the original contract.
The Company derecognizes an insurance contract when it is settled, i.e. when the obligations specified in the insurance contract expire, are repaid or terminated, or when a substantial contract amendment is made.
When an insurance contract, which is not measured in accordance with the Premium Allocation Approach is derecognized from a group of insurance contracts:
If a contract is derecognized because it has been transferred to a third party, the contractual service margin of the group from which the contract is derecognized is adjusted for the difference between the change in fulfilment cash flows of the insurance contract group as a result of the contract being derecognized and the premium charged by a third party. If the said difference amount is greater than the remaining contractual service margin, it will be recognized as an immediate loss in the Statement of Income.
If a contract is derecognized due to a significant contract amendment, the contractual service margin of the group from which the contract is derecognized is adjusted for the difference between the change in cash flows to the existence of the contract of the insurance contract group as a result of the contract being derecognized and a theoretical premium that the Company would have charged if it had entered into a contract with terms equivalent
to the new contract at the time of the contract amendment, less any additional premium charged for the amendment. If the said difference amount is greater than the remaining contractual service margin, it will be recognized as an immediate loss in the Statement of Income.
When an insurance contract measured according to the Premium Allocation Approach is derecognized, adjustments to the fulfilment cash flows in order to cancel those relating to the rights and obligations derecognized from the group and the treatment of the effect of the derecognition results in the following amounts being immediately recognized in the income statement:
As from the first quarter of 2025, the Group applies IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (2014) (hereinafter - the "Standard" or "IFRS 9"), which supersedes IFRS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (hereinafter - "IAS 39").
As stated in Note 2.A above, in light of the postponement of the application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, the Group adopted the IFRSs for the first time on January 1, 2025, and the transition date to reporting in accordance with the IFRSs is January 1, 2024. The effect of the transition to IFRS reporting, including the effect of the application of IFRS 9 on the Group's financial position, operating results and cash flows is detailed in Note 14 below.
Following are the main changes in the accounting policy following the application of the Standard as from January 1, 2024:
Initial recognition and measurement of financial assets
The Group initially recognizes debt instruments as they are incurred. All other financial assets are initially recognized on the date when the Group becomes party to the contractual terms of the instrument.
A financial asset is initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are not attributed to the financial asset and recognized in profit and loss.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights of the Group to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Group transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows arising from the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been substantively transferred.
If the Group is essentially left with the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset.
At initial recognition, financial assets are classified to one of the following measurement categories: Amortized cost or fair value through profit and loss; financial assets are not reclassified in subsequent periods unless, and only if, the Group changes its business model for management of financial debt assets, in which case the affected financial debt assets are reclassified at the beginning of the reporting period subsequent to the business model change.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following two conditions cumulatively and is not designated for measurement at fair value through profit and loss:
All financial assets that are not classified for measurement at amortized cost as described above, as well as financial assets designated at fair value through profit and loss, are measured at fair value through profit and loss. At initial recognition, the Group designates financial assets at fair value through profit and loss when such designation reverses or significantly reduces the accounting mismatch.
The Group designated to a category of fair value through profit or loss all financial assets except for non-yielddependent investment contracts. In this context, credit facilities provided by the Group (which constitute the Group's obligations to provide loans) relating to the aforementioned financial asset portfolios are also measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group has other accounts receivable balances (which essentially do not constitute investment assets) held within a business model aimed at collecting contractual cash flows. The contractual cash flows in respect of such financial assets include only principal and interest payments that reflect consideration for the time value of money and the credit risk. Accordingly, such financial assets are measured at amortized cost.
In subsequent periods, such assets are measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including interest revenues or dividends, are recognized in profit and loss (excluding certain derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments).
These assets are measured in subsequent periods at amortized cost using the effective interest method net of impairment losses. Interest revenues, profits or losses on exchange rate differentials and impairment are recognized in profit and loss. Any profit or loss from derecognition is also recognized in profit and loss.
Non-derivative financial liabilities include: Overdrafts from banks, loans and credit from banking corporations and other lenders, bonds and subordinated notes, lease liabilities, trade payables and other payables.
The Group initially recognizes debt instruments as they are incurred. Other financial liabilities are initially recognized at the trade date when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities (excluding financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss) are initially recognized at fair value net of any attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are designated at fair value through profit and loss, if the Group manages these liabilities and their performance is assessed based on their fair value, depending on how the Group has documented their risk management, if the designation is designed to prevent an accounting mismatch or if it is a hybrid financial instrument that includes an embedded derivative.
Transaction costs that are directly attributed to an expected issuance of an instrument which will be classified as a financial liability are recognized as an asset under the deferred expenses line item in the statement of financial position. These transaction costs are deducted from the financial liability upon initial recognition thereof, or amortized as finance expenses in the statement of income, when it is no longer expected that the issuance will take place.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the contractual obligation of the Group expires or when it is discharged or canceled.
An exchange of debt instruments having substantially different terms are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. In addition, a significant amendment of the terms of an existing financial liability, or an exchange of debt instruments having substantially different terms between an existing borrower and lender, are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and a recognition of a new financial liability at fair value.
In such a case, the entire difference between the amortized cost of the original financial liability and the fair value of the new financial liability is recognized in profit and loss in the finance income or expenses line item.
The terms and conditions are substantively different if the discounted present value of the cash flows according to the new terms and conditions, including any fees and commissions paid, less any fees and commissions received and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is different by at least ten percent from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability.
In addition to the quantitative test described above, the Group assesses, among other things, whether changes took place in connection with various economic parameters embodied in the exchanged debt instruments. Therefore, as a rule, exchanges of linked debt instruments with non-linked instruments are considered as exchanges with substantially different terms even if they do not meet the quantitative test performed above.
When exchanging debt instruments with capital instruments, equity instruments issued when extinguishing and derecognizing the liability, in whole or in part, are considered part of the "consideration paid" for the purpose of calculating profit or loss from the derecognition of the financial liability.
The equity instruments are initially measured at fair value, unless the value cannot be reliably measured - in the latter case, the issued instruments are measured according to the fair value of the derecognized liability. Any difference between the amortized cost of the financial liability and the initial measurement of the equity instruments is recognized in the income statement under the finance income or expenses.
In a non-substantial modification in terms (or exchange) of A debt instrument, the new cash flows are discounted using the original effective interest rate, and the difference between the present value of the new financial liability and the present value of the original financial liability is recognized in profit and loss.
At each reporting date, the Company shall test the provision for loss in respect of financial debt instruments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss should be estimated.
The Company shall differentiate between two situations of recognition of a provision for loss:
Impairment in respect of debt instruments measured at amortized cost is recognized in profit or loss against a provision for impairment.
As stated above, due to the fact that in the transition to IFRS 9 most of the Company's financial assets will be classified to fair value through profit or loss, the amount of the provision for credit losses is expected to be immaterial.
As of the reporting periods commencing on January 1, 2025, Max applies the following ASUs and Banking Supervision Department directives:
On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) published ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (hereinafter - the "ASU"). The ASU improves the disclosure requirements, including:
The provisions of the ASU were applies as from the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024.
On October 8, 2024, the Banking Supervision Department published a circular regarding disclosure of interest rate risk and disclosure of liquidity and financing risk.
Under the circular, revisions were made to the Reporting to the Public Directives with the aim of establishing an expanded and adapted disclosure framework for achieving effective and comprehensive disclosure regarding management of interest rate, liquidity and financing risks. Among other things, Note 23 was regarding "Assets and Liabilities by Currency and Term to Maturity" was revised as detailed below:
The Circular's provisions were applied as from the Annual Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024 and the Interim Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025. Comparison figures were presented in accordance with the data detailed in the disclosure format in the Reporting to the Public Directives.
The Group operates in the following operating segments:
The Long-Term Savings Segment comprises life insurance, related coverages (appendices), investment contracts, and management of pension funds and provident funds. The segment comprises long-term savings (under various types of insurance policies, pension funds and provident funds, including advanced education funds), and insurance coverages for various risks, such as: death, disability, long-term health, and health insurance sold as appendices to life insurance policies, and more. According to the Commissioner's Directives, the Long-Term Savings Segment is described in accordance with the following subsegments: Provident, Pension and Life Insurance.
The Health Insurance Segment comprises the Group's activity in the Health Insurance Subsegments. The segment comprises insurance for long-term care, medical expenses insurance, surgery, transplants, personal accidents (Long-Term Health Subsegment), travel and more.
The P&C Insurance Segment comprises the Liability and Property Subsegments, Credit Insurance, Personal Accidents Insurance and Other.
Includes the credit card company's operating results, divided into two main subsegments: Issuing and Acquiring.
The Issuing Subsegment focuses on 2 main activities:
As part of the Issuing Subsegment, Max issues payment cards to its customers, which are used as a means of payment for transactions and cash withdrawal by merchants in Israel and worldwide that accept the brands issued by the Company. Max's revenues from card holders is from fees and commissions collected from the card holders and issuer fees collected from the credit card companies (as acquiring companies) as well as from international organizations (acquirers outside Israel). In addition, interest is collected from Max customers for transactions and credit products provided by Max.
This subsegment includes mainly the following activities:
Furthermore, the Credit Card Segment will include the operating results of Milo Brom Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter - "Milo"), which holds the following companies:
A. Hyp Payment Solutions Ltd. (hereinafter - "Hyp"), which provides payment solutions to e-commerce websites and merchants, used for payment by credit cards and other means of payment, and provides credit card reconciliation services through a system that enables monitoring merchants' business activity with credit card companies and factoring companies. Hyp also provides a bookkeeping management and digital invoice generation system;
B. Max EVS Ltd. (held at 51%) - is a technological joint venture in the field of charging systems and other services relevant to electric vehicles and solar roofs.
Includes operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for reporting, mainly in respect of the insurance agencies.
This activity includes the Group's headquarters, which is mainly the capital, the liabilities not in the insurance business and the assets held against them by Clal Insurance rather than by the credit card company's business, as well as the Company's separate balances and results.
As of April 1, 2023, the results also include the finance expenses for the Syndicated Loan in respect of the Max acquisition transaction. On February 25, 2024, CIMax executed early repayment of the full amount of the syndicated loan. For further details, see Note 26(a1)(3) to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2023.
As a general rule, revenues from life insurance premiums and management fees revenue from pension funds and provident funds are not characterized by seasonality; therefore, claims are not subject to seasonality either.
However, since the tax year ends in December, there is a certain effect of seasonality in that month in terms of payment of premiums/contributions towards benefits for pension saving products, since significant amounts are deposited in this month by salaried employees and self-employed persons, who make contributions independently outside their payroll in order to fully utilize the tax benefits, and also by employers that pay outstanding debts in respect of the relevant tax year or make one-off contributions, normally in respect of severance pay-related debts. Furthermore, the amounts of premiums/contributions towards benefits may be higher in certain months, which vary from one year to another, mainly due to one-off payments made by employers to employees, and in respect of which contributions towards benefits are made.
As a general rule, income earned from insurance services in the Property and Casualty Insurance Segment are not affected by significant seasonality. However, the premium income in the first quarter of the year are higher than premium income in the other quarters, mainly due to renewal of insurance agreements of business policyholders and large car fleets at the beginning of the calendar year, which reflects a certain degree of seasonality. The effect of this seasonality on the reported income is adjusted through the liability for remaining coverage.
There is no significant seasonality in other components of expenses, such as claims and in other revenue components, such as investment revenue. However, it should be noted that during the winter season - in the first quarter or fourth quarter of the year, or both - there is sometimes an increase in claims, mainly in the Property Insurance Subsegment, and consequently the reported profit for the period decreases.

The different fair value levels were defined as follows:
The fair value of investments traded actively in regulated financial markets is determined based on market prices as of the reporting date.
With respect to investments for which there is no active market. Fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using transactions which were recently made at fair market value, reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same, discounted cash flows, or other valuation methods.
The fair value of illiquid debt assets, which are measured at fair value through profit and loss, and the fair value of illiquid financial debt assets, for which fair value information is provided solely for disclosure purposes, is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows from those assets.
The discount rates are based primarily on yields on government bonds and spreads of corporate bonds as measured on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The quoted prices and interest rates used for discounting purposes are determined by a company which won the tender, published by the Ministry of Finance, for the setting up and operating a database of quoted prices and interest rates for institutional entities.
On March 2, 2025, the Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings Authority published a press release in which it announced that it selected Ness Fair Value Ltd. as a supplier for the revaluation of illiquid debt assets of the institutional entities.
Ness Fair Value (hereinafter - "Ness") will replace Fair Spread Ltd., which has been carrying out the revaluation since 2011, covering only non-complex illiquid debt assets issued in Israel. Under the new tender, the winning bidder will revalue all illiquid debt assets - issued both in and outside Israel - including complex debt assets. Furthermore, and in order to encourage trading in the institutional trading system (TASE-UP platform), "Ness Fair Value Ltd." will issue specific quotation regarding investment instruments traded in this platform, provided that these investment instruments are held by institutional entities. Preparations by "Ness Fair Value Ltd." are expected to take several months, during which the Company will receive both the details of the assets, which are the subject matter of the revaluation, which are currently revalued by Fair Spread, and of those, which were not included in the existing 3-2012 tender, but are included in the 3-2022 tender.
The Group is studying the implications of the decision and is preparing to implement the change in accordance with the guidelines to be received from the Capital Market Authority.
Designated Hetz bonds (hereinafter – "Hetz Bonds") are illiquid and non-transferable bonds, which are issued (and repaid) by virtue of a series of agreements signed between the insurance companies and the State of Israel, and allocated at a certain rate of the insurance liabilities for insurance contracts, which include a guaranteed return savings component.
The Company calculates the fair value in accordance with the indirect approach, according to which the fair value calculation is based on the amortized cost of Hetz Bonds plus the excess value arising from the difference between the nominal interest on Hetz Bonds and the risk-free interest rate curve plus the illiquidity premium used in the financial statements. The estimated cash flows of Hetz Bonds are based on expected cash flows in respect of insurance liabilities and therefore include assumptions regarding non-observable inputs, such as cancellation rate, annuity uptake rate, retirement age, etc.
The fair value of shares for which there is no quoted market price, is determined by the discounted cash flow model. The valuation requires the Company to make certain assumptions regarding non-observable inputs included in the model.

*) The shares are listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE). The holders of ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared from time to time, voting rights at general meetings of the Company according to one vote per share, rights in the event of liquidation of the Company and the right to appoint directors for the Company.
**) For details regarding the option plan in the Group, which was approved in the Reporting Period, see Note 14(b) below.
Further to Note 17(c) to the Annual Financial Statements, in September 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved a dividend distribution policy. This policy was approved, among other things, further to the approval of a dividend distribution policy in the Company's key subsidiaries - Clal Insurance and Max (see Section c below).
In accordance with the approved policy, the Company will distribute an annual dividend at a rate, which will not fall below 50% of the dividend received in that year from the Company's subsidiaries.
This policy should not be viewed as an undertaking by the Company to distribute dividends, and that any actual distribution shall be individually subject to the Board of Directors' approval, at its sole discretion; the Board of Directors may decide on actual distribution at different rates, or not to distribute any dividend. Furthermore, the execution of any actual distribution shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of laws applicable to any dividend distribution and to compliance with the financial covenants the Company has undertaken and/or will undertake in the future as to the condition that the distribution shall not adversely affect the Company's cash flows and the Company's need for cash to finance its activities, including future investments, as shall be from time to time, and/or its expected and/or planned future activities.
The Company's Board of Director may review the dividend distribution policy from time to time and decide, at any given time, taking into account business considerations and the legal and regulatory provisions applicable to the Company, to change the dividend distribution policy, including the rate of dividend to be distributed.
Further to the above, subsequent to the reporting date, on November 28, 2025, the Company's Board approved a dividend distribution totaling approx. NIS 200 million, which constitutes approx. 64% of the dividends declared and/or distributed in the Company's subsidiaries as of the approval date of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
Further to Note 17(c) and (d) of the Annual Financial Statements, the possibility of distributing dividends by the Company is affected by the ability of investees to distribute dividends, subject to their capital requirements and liquidity needs and Max's needs to service the debt it issued (for further details regarding the bonds issued by Max, see Note 6(c) above). Below is a description of the capital requirements of Clal Insurance and Max and details of the distribution of dividends by them.
The Group's insurance companies are subject to the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime in accordance with the implementation provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime.
In accordance with the Consolidated Circular, the Economic Solvency Ratio Report in respect of the December 31 and June 30 data of each year shall be included in the first periodic report published after the calculation date.
On May 28, 2025, Clal Insurance approved its Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024.
The calculation made by Clal Insurance as of December 31, 2024 was audited by the Company's independent auditors. The audit held in accordance International Standard on Assurance Engagement (ISAE) 3400 – "The Examination of Prospective Financial Information".
In accordance with the Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024, Clal Insurance has excess capital, both when calculation is made having no regard to the Transitional Provisions and when it is made taking into account the Transitional Provisions.
The calculation is sometimes based on assumptions regarding future events and steps taken by management, that will not necessarily materialize or will materialize in a manner different than the assumptions used in the calculation. Furthermore, actual results may substantively vary from the calculation, since the combined scenarios of events may materialize in a manner that is materially different than the assumptions made in the calculation.
For further details, see Section 2.4 to the Report of the Board of Directors and the Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024 attached to this report.
Further to Note 17(c)2 to the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements of 2024, in June 2023, the Board of Directors of Clal Insurance approved a policy for the distribution of a dividend at a rate of 30%-50% of Clal Insurance's comprehensive income. The distribution is subject to Clal Insurance's compliance with a minimum capital target pursuant to the economic solvency ratio regime, post-distribution, at a rate of 110%, without taking into account the Transitional Provisions, and at a rate of 135%, taking into consideration the Provisions for the Transitional Period.
On May 28, 2025, Clal Insurance revised the minimum capital target without taking into account the Transitional Provisions, such that subsequent to the dividend distribution the solvency ratio will be at least 115% compared to 110%.
This is further to setting a capital management policy whereby the target range for Clal Insurance's economic solvency ratio shall be 150%-170%, as approved in June 2021. In addition, the minimum economic solvency ratio target for prudential purposes is set at 135%. These targets relate to a solvency ratio taking into account the Deduction during the Transitional Period until the end of 2032 and thereafter.
It is noted that in February 2025, the Commissioner issued a letter regarding capital targets, which clarifies the appropriate practices for setting the capital targets. Clal Insurance intends to assess its targets bearing the letter in mind.
This policy should not be viewed as an undertaking by Clal Insurance to distribute dividends, and that any actual distribution shall be individually subject to the Board of Directors' approval, at its sole discretion; the Board of Directors may decide on actual distribution at different rates, or not to distribute any dividend. Furthermore, the execution of any actual distribution shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of laws applicable to any dividend distribution and to compliance with the financial covenants Clal Insurance has undertaken and/or will undertake in the future as to the condition that the distribution shall not adversely affect Clal Insurance's cash flows and Clal Insurance's need for cash to finance its activities, including future investments, as shall be from time to time, and/or its expected and/or planned future activities.
The Board of Directors of Clal Insurance may review the dividend distribution policy from time to time and decide, at any given time, taking into account business considerations and the legal and regulatory provisions applicable to Clal Insurance, to change the dividend distribution policy, including the rate of dividend to be distributed.
Subsequent to the above, on May 28, 2025, Clal Insurance's Board approved a dividend distribution of approx. NIS 300 million, which constitutes approx. 47% of Clal Insurance's 2024 comprehensive income in accordance with the Annual Financial Statements (approx. 25% of Clal Insurance's comprehensive income after application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 17, as detailed in Note 14 to the Interim Financial Statements), having examined all aspects, including Clal Insurance's compliance with the economic solvency ratio targets detailed above.
The dividend distribution by Max is subject to the directives of the Banking Supervision Department, including compliance with capital adequacy restrictions under the Basel directives. A dividend distribution is allowed subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, 1999, which stipulates, among other things, that Max may
make a distribution out of its earnings, provided that there are no reasonable concerns that the distribution will prevent Max from fulfilling its existing and future undertakings, when they fall due.
During the second quarter of 2024 Max agreed the cancellation of restrictions on dividend distribution, which were included in its financing agreements, and which were detailed in Note 17C.(3) In the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements.
On June 30, 2024, Max's Board of Directors set, for the first time, a dividend distribution policy. According to the approved policy, as from 2024 Max will be able to distribute every year dividends at a total amount of up to 30% of Max's net income for the year, which preceded the distribution year, in accordance with its consolidated financial statements. It is clarified that by setting the policy Max does not undertake to distribute a dividend on a certain date or rate, any distribution shall be subject to the full discretion of Max's Board of Directors and require the individual approval of the Board of Directors of Max, subject, among other things, to compliance with all the restrictions applicable to Max under the law and under directives of the Banking Supervision Department.
Both the set dividend distribution policy and the actual distribution which was approved were carefully considered, while retaining high capital surpluses in relation to Max's capital targets, in accordance with the regulator's expectation that the capital planning will be assessed in a conservative and informed manner in view of the War and the uncertainty in the Israeli economy.

* Calculated in accordance with Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directives Nos. 201-211, "Capital Adequacy and Measurement", and Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 472 "Merchant Acquirers and Acquiring Payment Card Transactions", which came into effect on September 1, 2016.
As part of the process of adopting the provision of Basel III in Israel, on March 28, 2012, the Banking Supervision Department published a letter of instruction on the minimum core capital ratio in accordance with the Basel III framework, requiring banks and credit card companies to comply with a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 9% and a total capital ratio of 12.5% until January 1, 2015.
On May 2, 2016, the Banking Supervision Department issued Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 472, Merchant Acquirers and Acquiring Payment Card Transactions. The directive contains relief in respect of the capital requirements under Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directives 201-211. Despite that which is stated in Section 40 to Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 201, the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio shall not fall below 8%, and the total capital ratio shall not fall below 11.5%. The directive became effective on June 1, 2016 and applies to Max as an acquirer. ("Payment Services Provider with Prudential Importance").
In accordance with Max's risk profile, on June 30, 2024 Max's Board of Directors approved Max's CET1 capital ratio internal target at 9.25% instead of 10% as was the case through that date. The revised internal target is 125 basis points (1.25 percentage points) higher than the minimum CET 1 capital ratio set by the Banking Supervision Department. Max intends to hold a security buffer above the revised internal target. The internal target for total capital ratio has not changed and stands at 12%.

As from April 1, 2015, Max has been implementing Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 218 on leverage ratio (hereinafter - the "Directive"). The directive sets a simple, transparent and non-risk based leverage ratio to serve as a supplementary and reliable measure for risk-based capital requirements with the purpose of limiting excess leverage in banking corporations. The leverage ratio is expressed as a percentage, and is defined as the ratio between capital measurement and exposure measurement. The capital for the purpose of measuring the leverage ratio is Tier 1 capital as defined in Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 202. Max's total exposure is the sum of the on-balance sheet exposures and off-balance-sheet items. As a rule, the measurement is consistent with the accounting values, and no risk-weighting is applied. In addition, unless specifically permitted to do so under the Directive, Max may not use physical or financial collateral, guarantees or other credit risk mitigation techniques to reduce the exposure measurement. On-balance sheet assets deducted from Tier 1 capital (in accordance with Directive No. 202) are deducted from the exposure measurement. Pursuant to the Directive, Max calculates
the exposures for off-balance-sheet items by converting the sum of the items by credit conversion coefficients, as stipulated in Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 203.
Pursuant to the Directive, acquirers shall have a consolidated leverage ratio of no less than 5%.
In the circular amending the Directive, which was published by the Banking Supervision Department on December 20, 2023, it extended the term of an expedient set as a Temporary Order in November 2020, as part of adjustments to Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directives for dealing with the Covid-19 crisis, according to which the leverage ratio shall not fall below 4.5% on a consolidated basis. According to the circular, against the background of a review conducted by the Banking Supervision Department to amend the directive and a review of the leverage ratio and its mix, the above relief was extended as a temporary order until June 30, 2026, provided that the leverage ratio does not fall below that as of December 31, 2025 or the minimum leverage ratio applicable to the banking corporation prior to the temporary order, whichever is lower.
Following is the leverage ratio calculated in accordance with Proper Conduct of Banking Business Directive No. 218:

Following are details regarding legal actions not in the ordinary course of business, as follows: material claims1 which may be derivative actions, actions whose filing as class actions has been certified; pending motions for certification of material claims as class actions; material and immaterial class actions which were concluded during the reporting period and until its signing and other material claims against the Group companies (hereinafter - "Claims not in the Ordinary Course of Business" or "Claims").
The following claimed amounts are presented in amounts that are correct as of the date of their filing, and as detailed by the plaintiffs, unless noted otherwise.2
It is noted, as a general rule, that the exposure to financial demands, either specific or general, is subject to the laws of prescription. The prescription periods in respect of Claims for insurance benefits in the insurance products vary according to the type of product and the event in respect of which the claim of prescription has been raised. The exposure due to prescription is especially intense in those insurance sectors with "long-tail claims" and long-term insurance policies, in Life Insurance and Health Insurance, in which Clal Insurance operates. In legal actions not pertaining to insurance benefits, the prescription period is pursuant to what is prescribed in the Prescription Law, 1985. In February 2024, in view of the Iron Swords War, an amendment to the prescription period was approved, primarily stating that the period from October 7, 2023 to April 6, 2024 will not be taken into account in the calculation of the prescription period required by law, subject to the established exceptions. The period of time required to investigate the claim, which on occasions may be long, particularly in class actions, extends the period in respect of which refund or compensation need to be effected, as part of the prescription period.
As part of a general trend in those markets in which the Group operates, a significant number of class action certification motions have been filed in past years against the Group companies, and as a result, there has been an increase in the number of actions filed against the Group companies that have been recognized as class actions by the courts. This trend, which is the result, among others, of the enactment of the Class Actions Law, 2006 (hereinafter - the "Law"), the growing number of legal actions and the approach of the courts, substantially increases the Company's potential of exposure to losses due to rulings against the Group's members in class actions filed against them. However, there was a decline in the total number of class certification motions filed against Group companies in the reporting year. The Group cannot assess whether this trend will continue in the coming years.
A class action lawsuit, as it is defined in the Law, is a lawsuit managed on behalf of an anonymous class of persons, who have not granted power of attorney in advance to the lead plaintiff for that purpose, and which raises material questions of fact or law that are common to all the class members, under which a motion to certify is first heard. Only if the class action certification motion is granted will the claim be defined as a "class action", and the plaintiff will then become a "class plaintiff".
It is noted that the scope and content of the hearing regarding a class action on its merits, is affected by the ruling approving a motion to certify. The ruling to certify a class action usually relates to both the causes of action that have been approved and those that have not; the reliefs that have been approved and those that have not; etc.
Further to the Report of the Inter-Ministerial Taskforce on Assessing the Arrangements Set in the Class Actions Law, 2006, published in May 2023, in July 2024, the Class Actions Bill (Amendment No. 16), 2024 was published, which suggests to pass into law the Taskforce's recommendations.
As part of the bill proposes, among other things, to add a mechanism requiring that an advance contact be made with a defendant prior to filing a motion to certify, regarding specific types of causes of action and claims; to authorize the court to strike out oppressive and vexatious motions at any time; to set uniform and clear rules regarding compensation and legal fees, including cancellation of the option for a compensated withdrawal; to set mechanisms pertaining to compensation between class members; to generally authorize the court to impose legal fees on applicants or their attorneys; to require a lead plaintiff to note the number of class actions they filed in a calendar year and to limit this number to 5 actions per year; and to set a requirement to take other considerations into account, when hearing a certification motion against an insurer or a management company on the grounds of breaching the long-term savings contract (as defined in the draft bill), such as the existence of a regulatory approval
1. See Footnotes 3 and 16 below.
2. See Footnote 12.
for the relevant action, the time, which has elapsed since the contract was signed; the extent of the damage to the insurer/management company if the motion is certified, and the interests of the class members in the certification of the motion; it also proposes that delaying the motion to certify for these reasons shall be subject to approval by the Attorney General.
At this preliminary stage, the Company is unable to assess the effects of the above proposed provisions, whose effect on the scope of Group companies' exposure to class actions depends on various factors.
The motions to certify claims as class actions detailed below, are currently in the various stages of procedural adjudication, some have been approved and some are undergoing appeal proceedings.
It is noted that in addition to the legal proceedings, from time to time there are potential exposures which cannot currently be evaluated or quantified, in respect of commercial disputes or warnings pertaining to the intention to file suits, including class actions and derivative actions on certain matters, or legal proceedings and specific inquiries that may develop into claims in the future, including class actions or third party notices against the Group's member companies, as well as exposure resulting from the complexity of the regulation applying to the activity of the Group's member companies.
The Group's member companies are unable to predict in advance whether a customer's claim which has been brought to the companies' attention will eventually lead to the filing of a class action lawsuit, or will lead to a sectorwide ruling or will have sector-wide implications, even in those cases in which the customer threatens to do so, and furthermore the Group's member companies cannot estimate the potential exposure that may be created in respect of the aforementioned claims, insofar as these may be adjudicated and found to be justified by a competent authority. For details, see Section 2.2.2 below.
The following are details of lawsuits outside the ordinary course of business, as detailed below, that had been brought against the Company and its consolidated companies, divided into Max and the consolidated companies in Max's statements (hereinafter - the "Max Group Companies") and the other Group companies.
Following are details regarding material lawsuits3 that have been certified as class action lawsuits (Section 2.1.1), pending motions to certify material lawsuits as class actions (Section 2.1.2), and material class actions, material claims and motions to certify material claims as class actions that had concluded during the reporting period and until the report was signed (Section 2.1.3), exposures due to immaterial class actions or class actions that have not yet been filed, and exposure due to regulatory provisions (Section 2.2), additional exposures (including claims) (Section 2.3) which were all brought against the Company and/or the consolidated companies, except the Max Group Companies.
3. It is noted that, in general, in this note, a claim is considered material and described according to a qualitative or quantitative assessment that the Company makes when receiving the claim. With respect to the quantitative assessment, insofar as the actual exposure amount, net of tax, crosses the Group's materiality threshold for the purpose of profit – assuming the claim is deemed justified and without going into the claim's odds or the amount specified therein on their merits – according to the calculated projected comprehensive loss, divided by the average annual comprehensive income or comprehensive loss in the last three years, calculated using the last 12 quarters for which reviewed or audited financial statements were published; it is clarified that the profit/loss attributable to the event and the profit/loss in each quarter are calculated according to their absolute value. The above classification is made as of the date of filing the lawsuit. However, as legal proceedings can extend and unfold, sometimes over years, a claim that was not considered material at the time of filing may subsequently become material, in which case disclosure will be made with respect to it at a later date. In addition, a claim may be considered material for the purpose of such a disclosure if the Company is unable to assess the total exposure.
Following are details of material claims that were certified as class actions and are at various stages of litigating the respective proceeding on its merits, including inquiry into the substantive claim before the court of first instance or the appellate court after the ruling to certify the claim or dismiss it has been rendered, or after a judgment that granted or dismissed the lawsuit has been rendered.

Clal Insurance and three other insurance companies |
According to the plaintiffs, when the defendants give a score for the "incontinence" function within examinations of claims for insurance benefits under long-term care policies, they apply an interpretation according to which, in order for a policyholder's claim due to "incontinence" to be recognized, it must be the result of a urological or gastroenterological illness or defect, rather than assigning the function a score even when the source of the policyholder's poor medical and functional condition due to which he or she suffers from "incontinence" may be an illness, accident, or health defect outside the domain of urology or gastroenterology. |
To compel the defendants to compensate the class members in full for the damage caused to the latter due to the defendants' alleged breaches of the agreement, and to comply with the agreement from here on out, and alternatively, to award any other remedy as the court deems suitable under the circumstances. |
According to the court's decision, any policyholder of long-term care insurance who suffered a loss of bowel or bladder control, due to a combination of incontinence that does not amount to an organic loss of control with a poor functional condition, and regardless of the aforesaid did not receive from the insurance companies points for incontinence when examining their claim to receive long-term care insurance benefits, such that their rights to insurance benefits were jeopardize between September 8, 2012 and the date of certifying the claim as a class action. |
In April 2020, the court partially certified the lawsuit as a class action lawsuit against Clal Insurance and three other insurance companies. The plaintiffs' motion to certify the lawsuit as a class action lawsuit in respect of a class of policyholders who suffer from incontinence due to functional disabilities or mobility impairments, and experience incontinence due to this, as well as in respect of a class of policyholders who suffer from cognitive impairments and who were not recognized as "mentally frail," was denied. The causes of action for which the class action was certified were a breach of the long-term care insurance contract that resulted in non-payment of long-term care insurance benefits or underpayment of long-term care insurance benefits, due to the policyholders not being recognized as qualifying for a score on their incontinence. The proceeding is currently being litigated. The parties are in mediation. |
According to the plaintiffs, the damage cannot be estimated, but estimated it in the tens and even hundreds of millions of shekels. |

Clal Insurance |
According to the plaintiff, within an engagement with a collective policy master policyholder (a health maintenance organization) for the sale of a collective long term care insurance policy, Clal Insurance had committed to give the collective policyholders who enroll in the private policy a 20% discount on the premium, and did not do so (hereinafter - the "Collective Policy"). |
Refund of the amounts by which the class members were overcharged. |
In accordance with the court's ruling – anyone who bought an individual long term care insurance policy from Clal Insurance in which the eligibility period is lifetime compensation, between October 30, 2009, and December 31, 2018, while they were insured under the Collective Policy, and Clal Insurance did not give them a discount of at least 20% according to Clal Insurance's lowest prevailing rate at the time of purchase in respect of individual policies that are equivalent to the plan the policyholder had chosen, for a policyholder of comparable age and health condition, provided that it does not exceed the regulator-approved rate. |
In January 2021, the court partially certified the motion to approve the class action. The lead plaintiff's motion to certify the lawsuit as a class action, including with respect to any group of policyholders who hold a private long term care policy in which the period of eligibility for compensation is not for the policyholder's entire life, was denied. The causes of action for which the claim was certified as a class action lawsuit are a breach of the provisions of the Collective Policy and unjust enrichment, and the claimed remedy is restitution of the amounts by which the class members were overcharged. The proceeding is currently being litigated on the merits. In May 2025, the parties submitted a settlement agreement approval motion, in which mechanisms were set for granting or completing a discount to the relevant past and present policyholders, at rates agreed between the parties. Furthermore, under the settlement agreement, it was agreed to pay a compensation to the representative plaintiff and legal fees to his attorneys. |
In the claim, the plaintiff estimated the alleged damage to all class members at NIS 52 million for alleged damage caused until the date of filing the motion, and NIS 126 million for the damage expected to be caused to the class members in the next 10 years. |

Defendants Clal Insurance |
of action According to the plaintiff, Clal Insurance systematically violates the provisions of the law by charging unlawful insurance premiums for "temporary risk" insurance (payment for insurance coverage when the regular deposits into a savings policy with combined insurance components are discontinued), by making excessive deductions out of the accrued savings amount and thus reducing the accrued savings, without informing the policyholders in advance of making the "temporary risk" insurance and of its terms and rates, and in breach of the duty to send the policyholders up-to-date insurance information sheets on time or at all. |
Key remedies (1) Restitution of all funds charged out of the accrual and/or otherwise in respect of the entire period following the termination of employment (except when the policyholder has asked to purchase the insurance coverages in writing). Alternatively, restitution of all funds collected for the period after 3 or 5 months from the termination of their employment, in accordance with the relevant statutory arrangement (hereinafter - the "Automatic Temporary Risk Period"), and in cases of higher insurance premiums, restitution of the excess insurance premiums in respect of the Automatic Temporary Risk Period as well; (2) a prohibition on making "temporary risk" insurances for a period exceeding the Automatic Temporary Risk Period, except when the policyholders request this it in writing; (3) compelling Clal Insurance to return the excess insurance premiums paid by policyholders who were charged double insurance premiums (for the month they returned to work); (4) various provisions relating to future conduct (including a prohibition on increasing premiums, giving prior notice of the purchase of a temporary risk, and more). |
Represented class The represented class for the purpose of the non pecuniary remedies is all policyholders under provident funds or insurance plans within which employers and/or employees make contributions for permanent health insurance and/or insurance in case of death, or any other insurance risk. The represented class for the purpose of the pecuniary remedies is: (a) all the policyholders for whom funds were collected for permanent health insurance or insurance in case of death or any other insured event, out of the accrual funds or any other source, without prior notice; (b) alternatively, policyholders who were charged insurance premiums for periods that exceed the Automatic Temporary Risk Period, unless they agreed in advance; (c) policyholders who were charged higher insurance premiums than the insurance premiums they were charged when they were active policyholders and/or who were charged for new insurance policies that they did not have prior to the termination of their work; (d) policyholders who were charged double insurance premiums. According to the plaintiff, the lawsuit ought not to be subject to any prescription. Alternatively, the claim for pecuniary remedies is made for the period starting 7 years before the lawsuit was filed, i.e., 2020, and until the lawsuit is certified as a class action. |
Status / further details The proceeding is at the stage of the motion to certify being reviewed. Pursuant to the court's ruling, the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority (hereinafter - the "Commissioner") submitted his position, clarifying that collecting insurance premiums is permissible only in accordance with the provisions of the law and the applicable policy. In March 2025, a settlement agreement approval motion submitted; the agreement sets mechanisms for partial restitution of amounts in respect of some of the allegations included in the lawsuit regarding the duration of the collection of premiums for insurance coverage during the Temporary Risk Period and/or the rate of the insurance premium collected during the Temporary Risk Period. Furthermore, a mechanism was set for notifying policyholders who will enter the Automatic Temporary Risk Period, of the terms of the coverage in accordance with the terms detailed in the agreement. In addition, a mechanism was set for clarifying facts and reaching a decision through an expert regarding another allegation made in the statement of claim (pertaining to policyholders who were charged double insurance premiums); it was also agreed on payment of compensation and legal fees to the movant and their attorney. |
Claimed amount The class action claimed amount was estimated conservatively, according to the plaintiff, at no less than NIS 7 million per year. |

Anyone who was a policyholder during the period beginning 7 years before the day of filing the claim and ending on the day of its certification as a class action, by one or more of the defendants, under an insurance policy for disability, long-term care, life, permanent health, personal accidents, health (including critical illness, surgeries in Israel or abroad, transplants in Israel or abroad, medications, ambulatory procedures or any other medical coverage) that contains an exclusion. For this purpose, an "exclusion" – a policy clause which stipulates that any event / injury / disease, or any risk that materializes and that stems from and/or is related to a pre existing condition the policyholder had on the day the policy was obtained, are not covered under the policy. |
The proceeding is at the stage of the motion to certify being reviewed. |
The plaintiffs estimated that the total damage to all class members with respect to all the defendants totals NIS 1.9 billion, and they note that each defendants' share is in accordance with its market share of the Health and Life Insurance Subsegment, according to the Capital Market Commissioner's publications. |

The claim concerns the contention that the defendants do not pay for insurance incidents and do not provide towing services to policyholders who purchase a towing rider in cases in which it is necessary to tow the insured vehicle using a towing lift, and that they charge these vehicle owners added payment, despite the fact that this matter is not expressed in the language of the riders. |
The remedies sought are, among other matters, compensation in respect of reimbursement of premium payments, towing costs, and non-pecuniary damages ("pain and suffering") in the amount of NIS 3,000 per class member, and in addition, amendment of the language of the riders issued on behalf of the respondents. |
The class in the name of which the claim is filed is defined as the "the class of consumers who hold or held riders of respondents 1-8 in the last 7 years prior to the filing of the claim and in the period after the filing of this claim, until a judgment is rendered, whose vehicle necessitates the possibility or requires towing via lift when the vehicle is inoperable (requiring towing to a garage). |
In November 2023, the court ordered a severance of proceedings by way of filing separate motions for certification, while ordering that most of the respondents be stricken out, including Clal Insurance. In January 2025, the movants appealed against the court's above |

2.2.1 In addition to the material class action lawsuits, described in Note 10(2.1.1), the pending motions to certify material lawsuits as class actions, described in Note 10(2.1.2), and the motions to certify material lawsuits as class actions which were dismissed in the reporting period, described in Note 10(2.1.3), there are pending motions to certify class actions against the Company and its consolidated companies (except for the Max Group Companies) that, according to the Company's estimate, are immaterial,7 and therefore there is no detailed description thereof in the financial statements. As of the date of the report, 5 lawsuits are litigated against the Company and/or its consolidated companies, as said above, not including Max, and the total amount specified by the plaintiffs in these lawsuits is approx. NIS 110.5 million8 (compared to 7 lawsuits for approx. NIS 140 million as of December 31, 2024).
In addition to the aforementioned legal proceedings, potential exposure also exists, which at this stage can neither be evaluated nor quantified, to the filing of additional derivative claims or class actions against the Group companies, inter alia as a result of the Company's control structure (for further details, see Note 1, as well as Section 2.3 below) as well as exposure arising from the complexity of the companies' products, which may result in disputes arising regarding the interpretation of provisions of the Law or an agreement, including, among other things, pertaining to contractual or commercial terms and conditions, or regulatory directives, including the option available to the Commissioner, under certain circumstances, to order an insurer to cease implementing an insurance plan, or to order it to make changes to an insurance plan, including with respect to policies which have already been marketed by the insurer, or regarding the manner of implementation of the provisions of the Law or an agreement, or the method of claims settlement agreement pursuant to an agreement, which apply to and impact the relationship between the Group companies and the customer and/or the relationship between the Company and third parties, including reinsurers.
This exposure is particularly heightened in the fields of Long-Term Savings and Long-Term Health Insurance, in which Clal Insurance operates, among other things, in view of the fact that in those spheres, some of these policies were issued decades ago, whereas today, in light of significant regulatory changes, and due to the development of both judicial rulings and the Commissioner's position, these policies may be interpreted differently when viewed retroactively, and different interpretative standards may be applied to them than those that were customary when they were drafted. Moreover, the policies in these aforementioned areas remain valid for decades, such that in those cases in which a customer's claim is accepted and new interpretation is attributed to the contents of the policy, there is also potential exposure to the fact that the future profitability of that particular company will be influenced due to the existing policy portfolio. This is in addition to compensation that may be awarded to customers in respect of past activity.
There is also exposure, which at this stage can neither be evaluated nor quantified, to errors in the methods used in the operation of products, chiefly in the areas of Long-Term Savings and Health Insurance. The insurance sector in which the Group companies operate is complex and rich in details, and the regulatory directives tend to change over the years, and it involves an inherent, unquantifiable risk of the occurrence of an error or a series of errors, mechanical or human errors, which may have a sector-wide impact. It is not possible to anticipate all the types of claims to be raised in this context and/or the exposure arising from these potential claims, among other things, via the procedural mechanism of class action lawsuits and/or industrywide rulings made by the Commissioner.
7. See Footnote 10 above regarding the materiality threshold.
8. The aforementioned number of lawsuits includes one lawsuit in which Clal Insurance is a formal defendant and no remedies are sought against it. In addition, there is one action which was certified as a class action, in which the plaintiff did not specify the amount, but estimated it in tens of millions of NIS.
Such exposure is also the result of the complexity of the aforementioned products, which are characterized by extremely prolonged lifetime, and are subject to frequent, complex and material changes, including changes in regulatory and taxation directives. The complexity of those changes and their application over many years creates increased operational exposure, which is also due to the numerous different computer systems in the Group's institutional entities, and their limitations, in view of additions and/or changes to the basic wording of the products, and in light of multiple, frequent changes implemented over the product's lifetime, including by the regulatory authorities, the customers (the employees) and/or by the employers and/or by those acting on their behalf, in relation to insurance coverages and/or to savings deposits, including in the context of reporting to planholders, and the need to create direct contact with employers and operating entities.
This complexity and these changes have an impact, among other things, on the volume of contributions and the amounts involved, the various product components, the manner in which funds are attributed to employees (including due to discrepancies between the employer's reports, including through the employers' interface with the policy data), products and components and selected investment and insurance tracks, dates of payment appropriations, the identification of arrears in deposits and the handling of such cases, the employment, personal and underwriting status of customers, as well as operational considerations involving third parties outside the Group, which affect customer rights together with the information given to them. This complexity intensifies in view of the increasingly large number of parties operating with the Group's member companies in relation to the management and operation of the products, including, among other things, distributors, employers, customers and reinsurers, including in relation to the ongoing interface with them, and contradictory instructions that may be received from them or their representatives. The institutional entities that are members of the Group are engaged in a constant effort to study, identify and address issues that may arise due to the aforementioned complexities, both with regard to specific cases, and also in relation to customer and/or product types.
There is additional complexity regarding employer contributions that is related to the mechanism prescribed in the Wage Protection Law, 1958, according to which an amount owed by an employer to a provident fund, as this is defined in that law, in respect of the employee's rights or those of his replacement toward the provident fund, is deemed to have been paid on time unless the Regional Labor Court has determined that the delay in the collection of the debt was not the result of negligence on the part of the Fund, or occurred due to other justified circumstances, and subject to the right of indemnity available to the fund in relation to the employer, pursuant to the provisions of the law. Furthermore, pursuant to a circular relating to the manner of depositing payments into provident funds, the provident fund shall receive interest on arrears from an employer who has failed to transfer payments to the provident fund on time. There are various difficulties in the interpretation of the provisions of the Law and their implementation. The responsibility of the institutional entities in the Group for the collection of employers' debts to the said funds generates exposure in the event of defects occurring during the collection process.
Moreover, the institutional entities in the Group carry out a regular, routine process of data cleansing in the Long-Term Savings IT systems, in order to ensure that the registration of the planholders' and policyholders' rights in the data systems is complete, accessible and retrievable, in view of the discrepancies that are discovered from time to time, including the issue of mechanization of the classification of the saving funds, pursuant to the various levels of the provisions of the regulation issued over the years, and which are in various stages of being addressed. The institutional entities in the Group are unable to estimate the scope, costs and the full ramifications of the aforementioned actions, or the scope of the future data cleansing discrepancies, which may also be the result of regulatory changes, as this is due, among other things, to the complexity of the products, the fact that they are long-term products, in view of the multiplicity of IT systems in this sphere and their limitations. The institutional entities in the Group update their insurance liabilities from time to time and as is required.
In this context, it should be noted that in December 2021, Clal Insurance received a letter outlining the implementation of regulatory restrictions regarding the collection of insurance coverage costs pursuant to the Income Tax Regulations (Rules for Approval and Management of Provident Funds), 1964, containing demands to refund amounts allegedly collected in breach of the restrictions set forth in the letter. The Company is currently engaged in discussions with the Authority regarding the implementation of the contents of the letter, and at this stage there is no certainty regarding the full amount it may be required to refund due to the said letter - and it is unable to estimate the full implications arising from the requisite implementation of the directives.
There is also exposure, which at this stage can neither be evaluated nor quantified, to changes and to significant regulatory intervention in the various insurance and savings sectors, including, among other things, those which are intended for the direct or indirect reduction of insurance premiums and management fees, intervention in sales processes, involving the different use of diverse regulatory tools, which may have an impact on the contractual terms and conditions, the structure of the contractual engagement and the reciprocal relations among institutional entities, agents, employers and customers, in a manner that could influence the load and the operating expenses, profitability, retention of current products, including in relation to the specific sector business model and the existing product portfolio.
The Group is also exposed, in a manner that cannot be evaluated, to legal claims related to contract laws and the fulfillment of insurance liabilities as part of the insurance policy or implementation of the provident funds' bylaws, breach of fiduciary duty, conflicts of interest, professional negligence, and also including in respect of the manner of distribution and sale of the Group's products, via third parties, whose activities, either by action or omission, may be binding upon it.
The exposure to currently unfiled legal actions against the Group's member companies is brought to their attention in a number of ways. This is done, among other things, by inquiries made by customers, employees, suppliers, non-profit organizations or anybody acting on their behalf to various functions in the companies, and especially the compliance officer responsible for public inquiries in the Group's member companies, via customer complaints to the Public Inquiries Unit in the regulator's office, and via legal actions (that are not class actions) filed with the court and also via position papers of the Commissioner.
Note that insofar as this concerns a customer complaint to the regulator's Public Inquiries Unit, then, in addition to the risk that the customer chooses to assert their allegations in a class action lawsuit as well, Group companies are also exposed to the risk that the regulator resolves the complaint by issuing an industry-wide ruling, which could apply to a broad category of customers and/or by publishing a position statement (or a draft ruling or position). For further details regarding industry-wide rulings and position papers, see Section 2.2.3.2 below.
Moreover, pursuant to the regulatory directives applying to institutional entities, as part of a circular on the adjudication and settlement of claims and addressing public inquiries, in cases in which a public inquiry indicates a systemic, significant defect, which could well be repeated in an institutional entity's regular conduct, that institutional entity must act to identify similar cases in which a similar defect has occurred, and insofar as similar cases are identified - it must develop insights and rectify the defects within a reasonable period of time. This amendment may expand the Group's exposure to the industrywide implications in respect of the said defects.
A. Furthermore and in general, in addition to the overall exposure to which the Group companies are exposed, in respect of future claims, as detailed in Section 10 (2.2.2) above, from time to time, including due to complaints of customers and suppliers, audits and requests for information, there is also exposure to warnings concerning the intention of a regulatory authority, to impose financial sanctions and/or directives on the supervised consolidated companies regarding amendment and/or refunding and/or taking of certain actions pertaining to past actions and/or change in behavior, among other things, with regard to a customer or a group of customers, and/or exposure in respect of industry-wide rulings, under which directives may be issued to pay out refunds to customers, or to provide other remedies in respect of the defects to which the warnings or rulings and/or position papers published by supervisory entities related, and whose status and degree of impact are not certain. The Group's member companies are also involved, from time to time, in hearing and/or discussion proceedings with supervisory authorities in relation to warnings and/or rulings, and enforcement powers are sometimes employed against them, including the imposition of financial sanctions.
The Group's member companies are examining the need to make provisions in the financial statements in respect of the aforesaid processes, based on the professional opinion of their legal counsel and/or are in the process of learning the ramifications of the said proceedings, as is deemed to be necessary and relevant.
B. Following are details regarding positions or draft positions of the Commissioner or theoretical rulings that either have or may have an impact on the Group:
Pursuant to the financial statements of Atudot, a company owned by Clal Insurance (50%), during 2017 an audit of the pension fund was conducted on behalf of the Commissioner focusing on the subject of planholders' rights. On August 7, 2019, Atudot received the draft audit report for its response. The draft audit report addressed key issues of the pension fund's activity, including: the subject of groups, the fund's regulations, management fees and management expenses, data cleansing, actuarial reporting and withdrawal of money from the fund. Atudot filed its response to the draft audit report findings and held a number of meetings to discuss them with the Commissioner's representatives. The Company was informed that on August 21, 2022, Atudot received the final audit report that included directives and recommendations for the Board of Directors on a number of topics, among other things, an examination of the issue of actuarial bubbles and all their ramifications; including their application. It also addressed the issue of how to deal with them, greater coherence between the average duration of the assets and liabilities in each actuarial bubble, etc.; as well as finding solutions to the problem of funding sources to manage the fund in the future given the fact that it is a closed fund; optimization of the method of payment to planholders, expansion of the data cleansing process, together with certain recommendations for amendments to the regulations and expanding the notes, etc. Furthermore, the Commissioner recommended considering the possibility of adopting the redemption values formula prescribed in the Income Tax Regulations, in order to encourage the fund's planholders to realize the funds as an annuity rather than a capital withdrawal. The Company was informed, that with regard to a significant part of the recommendations, and particularly on issues pertaining to the actuarial bubbles, adapting the average duration of assets to liabilities and the redemption formula - it was determined in the audit report that Atudot's Board of Directors must draw up its position on these matters, and that the recommendation is not binding specifically with respect to the manner of treating those issues; and also that as of the approval date of the financial statements, discussions were being held with the Authority in order to reach an agreed model on actuarial bubbles, while a concrete plan of action was devised to address other issues which is being implemented by the Fund. In view of the aforementioned, Atudot is unable to evaluate the full implications of the audit report on its financial statements.
Further to Note 45(2)(4) to the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the examination - by the Israel Competition Authority - of Hyp Payment Solutions Ltd., a sub-subsidiary of the Company (hereinafter - "Hyp"), with respect to conduct, which gives rise to concerns of breach of the provisions of the Economic Competition Law, 1988 (hereinafter - the "Economic Competition Law"), concerning the interface of new acquirers - in April 2025, Hyp informed the Israel Competition Authority that it agrees to pay a total of NIS 11 million to the State Treasury, under an agreed order, in accordance with Section 50B to the Economic Competition Law. Subject to the approval of the consensual decree by the Competition Court and the payment of the said amount, and bearing in mind that the breach has stopped, it is the position of the Competition Commissioner, that they shall not take no enforcement measures against Hyp or anyone acting on its behalf, in respect of the breach, which - according to the Competition Commissioner's position - was committed by Hyp; the alleged breach entails an alleged refusal by Hyp to provide payment gateway services under reasonable terms to the acquirers of new payment cards, thereby - at the very least - delaying their authentication or discriminating between them and the existing acquirers, during the period between October 1, 2022 to March 31, 2024. It is clarified that the consensual decree or Hyp's signing the decree does not constitute any admission or agreement on behalf of Hyp, or anyone acting on its behalf, that they breached the Economic Competition Law, the Commissioner's decisions or any other law in any way. The consensual decree requires the approval of the Competition Court.
2.4.1 Following are details of the overall amount of claims in both material and immaterial class actions which were certified to be filed as class actions, in pending class action certification motions and a derivative claim, as (nominally) stated by the plaintiffs in their claim as part of the pleadings filed against the Company and the consolidated companies, except companies of the Max Group. It is noted that in the State of Israel, filing class action lawsuits does not entail payment of a fee derived from the claimed amount; therefore the amounts of
such claims may be significantly higher than the actual exposure for that exposure. In the majority of cases, the plaintiffs point out that the amount claimed by them is stated as an estimate alone, and the exact amount shall be decided upon as part of the legal proceeding. It is further noted that the aforementioned amount does not include claims for which the lead plaintiff did not state their amount (Section b(3) in the table below). Moreover, it is clarified that the claimed amount does not necessarily constitute quantification of the Company's actual exposure amount, which may eventually transpire to be lower or higher,9 as on numerous occasions the plaintiffs refrain from stating the precise claimed amount or state that the amount exceeds NIS 2.5 million for the claim to be heard under the jurisdiction of the District Court, and the exposure due to these claims could be substantially higher than noted, and that the claimed amount usually relates to the period preceding the date of filing suit and does not include the following period.

In addition to that specified in Sections 10(1) and 10(2) above, the Company and/or the consolidated companies are parties to other legal proceedings, in addition to the lawsuits outside the ordinary course of business, that are considered immaterial and are not class actions or derivative actions, and that mainly include lawsuits brought by customers, former customers, and various third parties, outside of regular lawsuits to exercise rights under insurance contracts or provident fund bylaws, at a total alleged amount of approx. NIS 41 million as of March 31, 2025 (approx. NIS 39 million as of December 31, 2024). The causes of action within these proceedings are many and varied.
9. It should be noted further that the specified amounts do not include the amounts the plaintiffs claimed as the lead plaintiff's reward and their counsel's legal fees and they do not include an increase in the amounts of the lawsuit in respect of the period from the date it is brought, as applicable.
10. Including a lawsuit that had been certified as a class action and in which a judgment was rendered in favor of granting the lawsuit.
11. These lawsuits include a lawsuit that has been estimated in hundreds of millions of shekels, a lawsuit that has been estimated in tens of millions of shekels, and a lawsuit in which we serve as formal defendants.
12. These lawsuits include a lawsuit in which the movants estimated the claimed damage against Clal Insurance due to the period from March 8, 2020, to April 30, 2020, at NIS 103 million, and noted that the damage will continue to accrue as long as the collection is not terminated.
13. Including a lawsuit in which Clal Insurance was sued for approx. NIS 1,413 million attributed to it and, in addition, NIS 1,550 million attributed jointly to the two companies.
14. Lawsuits in which the plaintiff estimated the claimed amount at more than NIS 2.5 million - the threshold of the subject-matter jurisdiction of the District Court. It is noted that among these motions there is one motion, which was served with respect of a lawsuit which was filed both against Clal Insurance and against Max, see Sections 2.1.2.10 and 3.1.2.5 above and below.
15. The motion was brought in March 2020. According to the plaintiff, the lawsuit ought not to be subject to prescription. Alternatively, the claim for pecuniary remedies is made for the period starting 7 years before the lawsuit was filed, and until the lawsuit is certified as a class action lawsuit.
2.4.2 Regarding the Companies and the consolidated companies, except the Max Group companies, in respect of the costs that may derive from the claims and exposures described in Sections 10(1) and 10(2) above, provisions are made in the financial statements of the relevant consolidated companies, only if it is more likely than not - namely, with a probability exceeding 50% that a payment liability owing to past events may arise, and that it will be possible to quantify or estimate the liability amount within a reasonable range.
The amounts of the provisions made are based on assessment of the degree of risk in each of the claims, immediately prior to the date of publishing this report (apart from some of the claims that were filed during the last two quarters, and due to the preliminary state of their treatment it is not possible to estimate their chances of success). In relation to this matter, it should be noted that events occurring during the litigation process may require renewed assessment of this risk. Insofar as the Company has the right of indemnity from a third party, the Company acknowledges this right, if it is virtually certain that the indemnity will be obtained if the Company settles the liability.
The assessments of the Company and of the consolidated companies regarding the assessed risk in the claims being conducted are based on the opinions of their legal counsel and/or on the estimates of the relevant companies, including pertaining to the settlement agreement amounts, which the Company's and consolidated companies' management expect to be paid by them, more likely than not.
It should be stressed that in the professional opinion of the attorneys in relation to the majority of motions to certify in which no provision was made, the attorneys' estimate relates to the chances of the class action certification motion being approved and does not relate to the odds of the claim itself, should it be certified as a class action. This is so, among other things, as the scope and content of the hearing on the claim itself, after it is certified as a class action, will be influenced by the court's ruling to certify the claim as a class action, which usually relates to both the causes of action that have been approved and those that have not; the reliefs that have been approved and those that have not; etc.
Many of the motions to certify lawsuits as class actions have been filed against the Group on various matters related to insurance contracts and the Group's ordinary course of business, for which the Group has allocated insurance reserves.
At this preliminary stage, it is impossible to assess the likelihood that the motions to certify class actions reported in Sections 10 (2.1.2) (33), (34), (35), and (36) would be granted.
The provision in the financial statements with respect to the Company and the consolidated companies, excluding the Max Group Companies, as of March 31, 2025, for all the lawsuits and the exposures described in Sections 10 (1) and 10 (2) above, totals approx. NIS 509 million (approx. NIS 500 million as of December 31, 2024).
These amounts include provisions made in respect of past liabilities in accordance with the legal counsels' assessment, and do not include the assessments' effect on the estimated future cash flow, which are included, as necessary, in the liability adequacy testing.
During the regular course of business, material legal claims were filed against Max,16 whose filing as class actions has been certified; pending motions for certification of material claims as class actions; material and immaterial class actions which were concluded during the reporting period and until its signing and other material claims.
16. It is noted that, in general, in this note, a lawsuit against Max would be classified as material and described according to a qualitative or quantitative assessment carried out by Max. Regarding the quantitative assessment – a lawsuit shall be considered material insofar as the total actual exposure, net of tax and assuming the lawsuit is found to be justified and regardless of the lawsuit's chances or the propriety of the amount specified in it on their merits, may exceed 1% of Max's equity as of the reporting date, as detailed in the equity note in the Company's periodic report. Further to Section 10.3.6 of Chapter A of the Company's Annual Reports for 2023, regarding the guidelines and rules the Company has adopted for examining the nature of a specific event or matter for immediate reporting purposes under Regulation 36 of the Securities Regulations, and further to that stated in Note 10, Section 2, of the Company's financial statements, in connection with the description of contingent liabilities and lawsuits filed against the Company and its subsidiaries, and in light of the fact that since the second quarter of 2023, the Company also fully consolidates Max's statements, which are prepared in accordance with the Banking Supervision Department's reporting directives – the Company wishes to clarify that the disclosure of lawsuits filed against Max in these statements does not necessarily indicate that the lawsuit is material for the purposes of the Company's immediate reports, as detailed above, and therefore, not all such lawsuits and/or development therein are disclosed in an immediate report.
With respect to Max,17 the disclosure format is in accordance with the Banking Supervision Department's instructions, such that material lawsuits are disclosed. Regarding the provisions in the financial statements, the lawsuits filed against Max are classified into three categories, as follows:18
The financial statements include adequate provisions for lawsuits, in accordance with the management's assessment and based on assessments by Max's external legal counsels, in accordance with the above.
The total exposure, as assessed by Max based on the assigned external counsels' risk assessment, as detailed below, due to lawsuits filed against Max on various issues, each of which exceeds NIS 1 million, and whose possibility of materializing is not remote, is NIS 207 million (hereinafter - the "Exposure to Non-Remote Lawsuits")
It is further noted that in the State of Israel, filing class action lawsuits does not entail paying a fee that derives from the claimed amount, and therefore, the claimed amounts in non-remote lawsuits may greatly exceed the actual exposure. In the majority of cases, the plaintiffs point out that the amount claimed by them is stated as an estimate alone, and the exact amount shall be decided upon as part of the legal proceeding. Moreover, it is clarified that the amount claimed does not necessarily constitute quantification of the Company's actual exposure amount, as on numerous occasions the plaintiffs refrain from stating the precise claim amount or state that the amount exceeds NIS 2.5 million for the claim to be heard under the jurisdiction of the District Court, and that the amount claimed usually relates to the period preceding the date of filing suit and does not include the following period nor does it relates to the exposure to legal expenses, legal fees and compensation for the plaintiff.
Following are details of material proceedings against Max as of the report publication date.
17. With respect to CIMax Group companies other than Max or companies under its control, the provisions of Section 2.4.2 above shall apply with respect to the above in connection with the policy on accounting provisions.
18. The risk assessments are based on the opinions of the legal advisors who handle the lawsuits and/or Max's estimate, including an estimate of the amounts of the expected settlement agreements, that Max's management anticipates will be concluded. In the first stages after the receipt of the claim, in a period of up to 4 quarters, it is not possible to assess the chances of the motions to certify the actions and therefore no provision is made for them.

| 5/2019 District Court - Tel Aviv Jaffa |
Max | The lawsuit concerns the allegation that Max is in breach of the provisions of its agreement with the plaintiff – a company that receives acquiring services from Max (or, alternatively, that Max is implementing its provisions unlawfully), as when a transaction is partially canceled, the acquiring fee refund for the relative share of the canceled transaction is lower than the transaction cancellation fee Max charge. |

5. Regarding a pending motion to certify a material claim as a class action lawsuit which was brought against the Company and against Max, see Note 10(2.1.2.7) above.
In December 2016, Max received a VAT assessment for the billing periods from January 2012 to August 2016 (hereinafter - the "Assessment"), which mainly concerned charging Max the full VAT for fees Max received due to transactions between holders of Max-issued credit cards and overseas merchants abroad; the Assessment also concerns the denial of an inputs tax deduction for inputs attributable to its operations in Eilat, according to the VAT authorities. In March 2017, Max filed an objection to the Assessment, and in March 2018, Max received the ruling on the objection and a revised VAT assessment (hereinafter - the "Revised Assessment"). In the ruling on the objection, the VAT Directorate (hereinafter - the "Directorate") dismissed Max's claims in the objection, and even changed its arguments in connection with the fees Max received in respect of transactions between Max-issued credit card holders and overseas merchants. As a result, the charge in the Revised Assessment was adjusted upward to NIS 86 million, plus linkage differences and interest from the date of issuing the Revised Assessment.
In January 2019, Max appealed the ruling on the objection before the Tel Aviv District Court, and at the Directorate's request, the hearing was consolidated with the hearing on appeals by two credit card companies, on similar issues (hereinafter - the "Consolidated Appeal"). In the Directorate's response in the Consolidated Appeal, the Directorate held, with respect to the portion of the Assessment charge attributed to Max's operations in Eilat, that in light of Max's claims and the specific circumstances, it intends to reduce the relative portion attributed to the above operations from the Assessment charge, without this having any future ramifications. As a result, the revised total charge in the Assessment is expected to be approx. NIS 83 million, plus linkage differentials and interest from the date of issuing the Revised Assessment.
In September 2021, Max received a VAT assessment for the billing periods from September 2016 to June 2020 (hereinafter - the "Second Assessment"). The Second Assessment deals with charging the full VAT for the fees whose taxability is discussed in the Consolidated Appeal, as well as additional fees. In January 2022, Max filed an objection to the Second Assessment, and over June-November 2022, the parties negotiated a settlement with respect to the assessments specified above, while the evidentiary hearings were carried out at the same time. In November 2022, the State Attorney announced the end of the settlement negotiations in light of its position that it wishes to have the case decided by the court. The case is at the summation stage.
In January 2023, the Directorate issued a ruling in which it rejected Max's objection to the Second Assessment, and charged Max NIS 180 million due to this period, plus linkage differences and interest from the date the Assessment was issued. In March 2023, Max appealed this ruling to the District Court. In June 2023, the Directorate withdrew the charge due to Max's activity in Eilat, and therefore, this charge under the Assessment was canceled. In July 2023, an arrangement was approved, according to which the court's determinations in the consolidated appeal will also apply to the appeal regarding the second assessment. Max included a provision in its financial statements in respect of the VAT assessments, based, among other matters, on the estimate of its external legal counsel who are providing guidance for the claim, and based on the talks held to formulate the settlement agreement, which did not materialize. The provision includes the period after the periods of the assessments, until March 31, 2025.

On May 28, 2025, Clal Insurance approved its Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024. For further details, see Note 7 above.
On May 8, 2025, the Company's board of directors resolved to publish an outline for the allocation of up to 130,000 Class A options and 470,000 Class B option to be offered under the outline, based on the Plan for 2021, for employees and officers of the Company and/or companies under its control. Allocation of the options to be offered under the outline is subject to obtaining all of the permits and approvals required under any law for the offering of securities in accordance with the outline, for their issue, and for the publication of the outline. The shares underlying the exercise of these options will represent approx. 0.27% of the Company's equity capital as of the reporting date, assuming maximum exercise. The option warrants will be exercisable for ordinary shares of the Company at the value of the inherent benefit of the options, subject to adjustments. The value of the benefit is based on the valuation of the options at the time they are allotted, which is approx. 30.08 per option, and the fair value of each tranche will be spread over the vesting period. The value of the benefit was calculated using the binomial model, and estimated at approx. NIS 15 million for all options, which will be awarded to Group officers and employees as stated above. The Class A options will be allocated in three tranches, spread over three years, and shall be exercisable beginning when one year, two years, and 3 years have elapsed from the allocation date, up to two years from the vesting/ holding date. (With respect to the first tranche, at least two years of vesting and holding are required).
The subsidiaries will bear the expense for the value of the options and will indemnify the Company in full for this benefit, based on the value of the financial benefit that will be recorded in the Company's financial statements and in accordance with the accounting standards.
According to the National Insurance Law [Combined Version], 1995 (hereinafter - the "National Insurance Law"), where the National Insurance Institute paid an annuity to a person entitled to an annuity, and at the same time a liability arises to a third-party to pay compensation to that person under the Tort Ordinance or the CRAV Law, the National Insurance Institute may claim compensation from the said third party in respect of annuity it has paid or is required to pay (hereinafter - the "Third Party"). The Third Party may deduct from the compensation the annuities paid and/or due to be paid by the National Insurance Institute. Over the years, the National Insurance Institute used to file individual subrogation claims with insurers.
The Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments to Achieve the Budgetary Targets for Budget Years 2021 and 2022), 2021 amended the National Insurance Law, such that as from January 2023 the netting mechanism due to claims arising from road accidents was modified to replace the filing of individual subrogation claims by the National Insurance Institute.
In July 2024, an agreement was signed between Clal Insurance and the National Insurance Institute, which prescribes Clal Insurance's exposure to subrogation claims by the National Insurance Institute in the Compulsory Motor Subsegment in respect of 2016-2022 was essentially extinguished.
Subsequent to the reporting date, on April 8, 2025, Clal Insurance Capital Raising Ltd. (hereinafter - "Clal Capital Raising") published a shelf prospectus dated April 9, 2025 (hereinafter - the "Shelf Prospectus"). The Shelf Prospectus allows Clal Capital Raising, among other things, to issue bonds and options for bonds. Generally, the consideration for bonds issued by Clal Capital Raising by virtue of the Shelf Prospectus, will be deposited with the Company and recognized as Tier 2 capital (subject to restrictions on the maximum rate of Tier 2 capital, in accordance with the provisions of the law), and the Company will be liable to the holders of the bonds for their repayment.
Subsequent to the reporting date, in April 2025, Clal Capital Raising issued to the public Bonds (Series N) totaling NIS 500 million (hereinafter - the "Bonds"), by virtue of the shelf prospectus. The principal will be repaid in one lump sum on September 30, 2039, unless Clal Capital Raising exercises its right to execute early redemption of the bonds. The principal and interest are not non-linked. The interest payable on the Bonds (Series N) is paid annually in two semiannual installments starting on September 30, 2025, and on March 31 and September 30 of each calendar year between 2026 and 2039. The annual nominal interest rate is 5.51% and the annual effective interest rate is 5.72% assuming redemption on the Effective Date for Additional Interest. The issuance costs amounted to approx. NIS 5,820 thousand. For further details, see Note 5(f) above.
As part of Max's financing strategy, on April 7, 2025, Max published a supplementary prospectus and a shelf prospectus dated April 8, 2025, and on April 24, 2025, it completed a NIS 207 million raising of Commercial Papers (Series 5) from institutional investors and - for the first time - also from the public. As from this date, Max became a reporting corporation, as defined by the Securities Law, 1968. Max's becoming a reporting corporation constitutes a part of its financing strategy as a growing company, and it allows Max to diversify its sources of financing for its operating activities.
Further to Note 46(m) to the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements, 2025 started with ceasefire agreements on the northern front and the Gaza Strip front, which led to a relative calm. In March 2025, the temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ended and the IDF resumed fighting in the Gaza Strip. This move led to increased tensions at the national and security levels, including, among other things, the resumption of missile attacks on Israel by the Houthis in Yemen. As of the report approval date, foreign airlines announced once again the cancellation of their flights to Israel.
As of the approval date of the financial statements, the State of Israel's credit rating remains stable, but with a negative outlook, in accordance with the assessments of the three main rating agencies:
In May 2025, the international rating agency S&P reiterated Israel's credit rating at A, with a negative outlook (which remained without change too). This was mainly due to security risks. S&P noted that in 2025 the economy is expected to grow by 3.3%, but the government deficit will remain high due to an increase in defense spending.
In March 2025, the rating agency Fitch reiterated Israel's credit rating at A, with a negative outlook (also without change), addressing concerns regarding the government's political moves, which may "weaken checks and balances".
In March 2025, the rating agency Moody's reiterated Israel's Baa1 credit rating with a negative outlook, and published a special review of Israel's economic position, in which it expressed concern regarding the current situation, maintaining that "Israel's credit rating currently reflects very high political risks, which have weakened its economic strength".
Clal Insurance - In the reporting period, and as of the approval date of these financial statements no material changes occurred in connection with the effects of the War on Clal Insurance's financial results.
Max - in the Reporting Period, the growth trend in Max's issuance turnovers in Israel and overseas and in its acquiring turnovers continued; those turnovers exceeded turnovers in the corresponding period last year. This is further to the gradual growth in 2024, after the decline in the first months of the War. Looking ahead, it may be assumed that the deterioration in the security situation and the intensification of fighting in the south and in the north may affect businesses and residents, and consequently they may continue to affect economic activity, which is reflected in Max's business activities.
The estimated provision for credit losses is based on judgments and assessments, and still involves substantial uncertainty at this stage. Further to Note 46(m) to the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements, in 2023 Max increased the provision for current expected credit losses based on estimates of the potential increase in the credit risk of Max's customers. So far, and during the Reporting Period, there has not been a noticeable increase in the credit risk or actual credit losses of Max's customers due to the War. However, in light of the difficulty of estimating the duration and scope of the War and its potential effect on economic activity across the country, as well as the extent of the potential damage to the repayment capacity of Max's private and business customers, on the one hand, and the mitigating effects of aid programs and other reliefs, on the other hand, the estimated provision for credit losses is based on judgment and assessments, and involves significant uncertainty at this stage. Accordingly, it is highly likely that future credit losses may be substantially higher or lower than the current estimate.
Subsequent to the reporting date, on May 28, 2025, the Company's Board approved a dividend distribution totaling approx. NIS 200 million, which constitutes approx. 64% of the dividends declared and/or distributed in the Company's subsidiaries as of the approval date of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. (See Note 6(b) above).
In the reporting periods, the development of the contractual service margin is mainly affected by accrual of interest, recognition of new businesses, recognition of revenues from insurance services for the current period, and revisions to future cash flow forecasts, due to, among other things, demographic, operational and financial assumptions. In the reporting period, which ended on March 31, 2025, the Company's retention contractual service margin increased mainly as a result of financial effects. In the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company's retention contractual service margin did not change materially. In the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company's retention contractual service margin increased due to the first-time application of the stochastic model for assessment of variable management fees and due to financial effects of approx. NIS 1,750 million, which was partially offset by revisions of approx. NIS 320 million to demographic and operational assumptions.
Furthermore, the effect of the changes in the risk-free interest rate curve and the illiquidity premium on insurance contract liabilities and reinsurance contract assets net of the effect of the designated bonds recognized in the statement of comprehensive income is an income of approx. NIS 160 million for the reporting period, which ended March 31, 2025, a loss of approx. NIS 210 million for the period ended March 31, 2024, and a loss of approx. NIS 350 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In accordance with the Commissioner's guidance published in a series of documents, the latest of which was named "Roadmap for the Adoption of IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts - Fifth Revision" (hereinafter - the "Roadmap"), the firsttime application date of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 (hereinafter - the "New Standards") for insurance companies in Israel (whose binding application date by the abovementioned companies in accordance with IFRS was supposed to be January 1, 2023) was revised, such that they apply to quarterly and annual periods commencing on January 1, 2025. The transition date for the application of the New Standards is January 1, 2024.
Due to the above, from January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2025, insurance companies in Israel continued to apply the provisions of IFRS 4 – "Insurance Contracts" and IAS 39 – "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement", which they applied through that date, and which were superseded by the New Standards. All other IFRS were applied by the insurance companies in accordance with the dates set therein.
Consequently, throughout the period from January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2025 (hereinafter - the "Interim Period"), the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to a subsidiary, which meets the definition of insurer, did not fully comply with IFRS; rather, they were prepared pursuant to the Financial Services Supervision Law (Insurance), in accordance with the Commissioner's Directives.
In view of the above, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 1 – "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards" (hereinafter - "IFRS 1") and with respect to a subsidiary which meets the definition of an insurer, the Group is effectively deemed a first-time adopter of IFRS, as defined in IFRS 1; accordingly, with respect to a subsidiary which meets the definition of insurer, as defined in IFRS 1, the Group's 2025 Annual Financial Statements will be its first financial statements compliant with IFRS, and the abovementioned transition date for application of the New Standards (January 1, 2024) also constitutes the Group's transition date to IFRS reporting as defined in IFRS 1.
The Group's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the 3-month period ended on that date (hereinafter - the "Interim Financial Statements") were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – "Interim Financial Reporting" (hereinafter - "IAS 34"). The said Interim Financial Statements are the first interim financial statements prepared by the Group for part of the period included in its first IFRS-compliant financial statements, and IFRS 1 was also applied as part of their preparation.
However, since during the Interim Period - except for non-application of the New Standards - the Group continued to apply all other IFRS in accordance with the dates set therein - with respect to a subsidiary which meets the definition of an insurer - the effect of the first-time adoption of IFRS under the application of IFRS 1 to the Group's financial statements focuses on the application of the abovementioned relevant provisions and expedients under IFRS 1 regarding the firsttime application of the New Standards.

The main changes in the statement of financial position arise from the following:
The change in the Group's equity as of the transition date (January 1, 2024) following the application of the New Standards arises mainly from the following:
| NIS million | (Audited) |
|---|---|
| Shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2023 - as previously reported | 8,652 |
| Revision to the measurement of insurance contract liabilities and reinsurance contract assets in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 17 |
(4,262) |
| Derecognition of deferred acquisition expense assets in long-term policies in the Life and Health Insurance Segments | (1,837) |
| Transition to measurement of financial assets, including designated bonds, from measurement at cost or amortized cost | 4,134 |
| to measurement at fair value | |
| Other effects | 5 |
| Recognition of deferred taxes in respect of the tax effects arising from the abovementioned changes (*) | 670 |
| Equity as of January 1, 2024 – in accordance with IFRS | 7,362 |
(*) As to the tax effect, it is noted that the transition date for income tax purposes will be January 1, 2025, and that the full effect of the decrease in equity, after taking into account the 2024 results will be recognized as a loss carried forward or as a current loss in subsequent periods, both for the purpose of corporate income tax, and for the purpose of profit tax, which applies to the insurance companies of the Group, which is a financial institution. As of the report publication date, the tax treatment following the implementation of the standards in the insurance companies' financial statements has not yet been determined. The Company believes that the tax treatment is not expected to have a material effect on the results following the New Standards. It is noted that the Israel Insurance Association and the Israel Tax Authority have in place sectoral agreements, which are renewed and revised every year and address tax issues unique to the industry. For further details, see Note 24(a)2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024.
The Group has applied the transition approaches allowed under IFRS 17 as detailed below:
IFRS 17 should be applied retrospectively (hereinafter - "Full Retrospective Application"), unless this is impractical.
In applying the Full Retrospective Application, the Company shall identify, recognize and measure each group of insurance contracts as if IFRS 17 had always been applied. Furthermore, the Company shall derecognize any existing balances, which would not exist had IFRS 17 always been applied. Any resulting net difference will be recognized in equity.
The transition date is January 1, 2024, such that upon initial application the Company restated the comparative figures for 2024.
If Full Retrospective Application for a group of insurance contracts is impractical, the Company may opt to apply one of the following approaches separately for each insurance portfolio:
The Company opted to implement the retrospective application approach for the property and casualty insurance portfolios and travel policies.
The Company is of the opinion that it is impractical to apply IFRS 17 retrospectively to groups of life and health insurance contracts, except for overseas travel, for the following reasons;
assumptions regarding illiquidity rates, adjustment for non-financial risk (RA), including its diversification or allocation for previous periods where these assumptions were not required by the Company, etc.).
The Company applied the modified retrospective approach to the critical illness portfolios and the portfolios of life insurance contracts sold in the 2020-2023 underwriting years; it also intends to apply the fair value approach to all other portfolios.
The Company has implemented the following permitted adjustments for the purpose of determining the CSM on the initial recognition date:
The CSM on the transition date is determined by comparing the coverage units on the initial recognition date and the remaining coverage units on the transition date.
The assessment of the fair value of the liabilities and the reinsurance assets was carried out using the Appraisal Value method (hereinafter - "AV"). The valuation was conducted by an external appraiser. Following are the highlights of the methodology and assumptions underlying the valuation:
actually marketed by the Company in 2023, which will affect the forecast as to the effect of future diversification. The abovementioned resulting diversification effect has been uniformly allocated to the capital requirements of the assessed insurance portfolios;
The valuation assumes that the market participant will require a total target return on equity of 13.6%, based mainly on the CAPM model.
The application of IFRS 9 has the following effect on the classification and measurement of the Company's financial assets:
Financial assets against yield-dependent liabilities, mostly for profit participation savings and other insurance contracts which include profit participation, are measured at fair value through profit or loss, similarly to the current practice under IAS 39.
The remaining debt assets, mainly those held against liabilities for non-yield-dependent investment contract, will continue to be accounted for at adjusted cost similarly to IAS 39.
The Company does not expect a material change in the classification and measurement of the financial liabilities, except for the measurement of financial liabilities, the conditions of which did not change materially as part of the replacement of equity instruments.
The following table presents the original measurement categories in accordance with the provisions of IAS 39 and the new measurement categories in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 with respect to the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities as of January 1, 2024, and the effects of the transition to IFRS 9 on the opening balances of retained earnings and other equity components.

| Comprehensive income according to IFRS | 316 | 1,546 |
(1) The changes in comprehensive income arising from the application of IFRS 17 include mainly the following:
(a) Variation in the pattern of release of income to long-term policies
The pattern of release of income to long-term policies in the Life and Health Insurance Segments, which are not measured under the PAA model, varies substantially between IFRS 17 and IFRS 4, both with respect to an existing business as of the transition date and with respect to a new business, which was marketed subsequent to the transition date.
Under IFRS 4, the pattern of release in risk products was affected, among other things, by the amount of actual premium and the development of actual claims in each period, and by the amortization of deferred acquisition costs.
Under IFRS 17 and as detailed above, on the transition date the Group recognized the CSM and RA components released to income and loss over the coverage periods relating to the various contract groups. The release rate of these components is mainly affected by the coverage units attributed to each reporting period. Furthermore, the income and loss are affected by the difference between the claims and the expected expenses and those actually incurred.
Moreover – in the savings products the income release pattern under IFRS 4 depended on the actual collection of management fees, which depends, among other things, on the existence of a "uncollected management fees" in the participating portfolio and the accrual amount at each actual point in time. On the other hand, in accordance with IFRS 17, the release pattern takes into account the overall expected profitability of the portfolio, including the development of management fees in the future, which were also taken into account regarding the fair value of the existing business in calculating the CSM as of the transition date.
In addition, under IFRS 17, insurance revenues and insurance service expenses do not include investment components, which are mainly included in savings policies, unlike IFRS 4, although this does not affect the income.
(b) Studies
Under IFRS 4, study and model revisions were recognized, in part, immediately in profit or loss. On the other hand, under IFRS 17 these revisions for insurance contracts, which are not measured in accordance with the PAA model and which relate to a future service, adjust the contractual service margin (until it reaches zero), and their effect is recognized in profit or loss under the release of the contractual service margin as detailed above.
Similarly, under IFRS 4, the entire effect of changes in yield rates affecting the amount of management fees in savings policies was recognized immediately in profit or loss. On the other hand, under IFRS 17, effects of financial assumptions and changes therein, including with respect to the abovementioned effect of the management fees in savings policies, for insurance contracts measured in accordance with the VFA Model, the contractual service margin is adjusted (until it reaches zero), and their effect is recognized in profit or loss as part of the release of the contractual service margin as detailed above. It is emphasized that the change in the insurance contract liability under the VFA Model due to changes in the fair value of the underlying items is recognized in full in finance expenses from insurance contracts, against recognition of investment revenues which back them.
In addition, the measurement of all insurance contracts as discount of future cash flows according to current discount rates under IFRS 17, leads to an increase in sensitivity to interest rate changes reflected in profit or loss.
The changes in comprehensive income arising from the application of IFRS 9 are mainly due to the measurement of most financial assets, in particular designated life insurance bonds, at fair value through profit or loss, instead of measurement of some of these financial assets at cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income (available-for-sale) under IAS 39. Measurement at fair value will reduce the sensitivity to the interest rate in the income statement.

To
Shareholders of Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd.
We have audited the Interim Separate Financial Information disclosed in accordance with Regulation 38D to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970 of Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter – the "Company") as of March 31, 2025 and for the three-month period ended on that date. The Interim Separate Financial Information is the responsibility of the Company's Board of Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the Separate Interim Financial Information for this interim period based on our review.
We performed our review pursuant to Review Standard (Israel) 2410 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of inquiries, mostly of persons responsible for financial and accounting issues, and of applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially smaller in scope than an audit performed pursuant to generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and, as a result, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that may be identified in an audit. Consequently, we are not expressing an audit opinion.
Based on our review and the review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the abovementioned Interim Separate Financial Information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure provisions of Chapter 38D of the Israel Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

The Board of Directors and management bear the responsibility for the preparation and presentation of the Information drawn up in accordance with the directives of the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings (hereinafter - the "Commissioner") regarding Solvency II-based economic SCR of an insurance company as included the Commissioner's Circular No. 2020-1-15 dated October 14, 2020, and in accordance with the Commissioner's Directives regarding principles for calculation of Deduction during the Transitional Period in a Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime of October 15, 2020 (hereinafter - the "Directives").
The calculations, forecasts and assumptions on which the preparation of the Information was based fall under the responsibility of the Board of Directors and management.
We conducted our examination in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements No. 3400 - The Examination of Prospective Financial Information, and in accordance with the Commissioner's Directives, as included in Insurance Circular 2017-1-20 of December 3 2017, which provides guidance as to audit of Economic Solvency Ratio Report.
We did not examine the appropriateness of the Deduction during the Transitional Period as of December 31, 2024, as presented in Section 1.5.3 to the Report, except for verifying that the Deduction Amount does not exceed the expected discounted amount of the risk margin and the capital required for solvency in respect of life and health insurance risks arising from existing businesses during the Transitional Period in accordance with the pattern of future development of the required capital, which affects both the calculation of the expected capital release and the release of the expected risk margin as detailed in the provisions on calculation of risk margin.
Except for the abovementioned in connection with the appropriateness of the Deduction Amount during the Transitional Period, based on the examination of the evidence supporting the calculations, the forecasts and the assumptions, as referred to below, which were used by the Company's Board of Directors and management in the preparation of the information nothing came to our attention which caused us to believe that the forecasts and assumptions, as a whole, do not constitute a reasonable basis for the information in accordance with the Directives. Furthermore, in our opinion, the information, including the method employed to determine the assumptions and forecasts, was prepared and presented in all material respects in accordance with the Directives.
It should be emphasized that the projections and assumptions are based mainly on past experience, as arising from actuarial studies conducted from time to time. In view of the reforms in the capital market, insurance and savings, and the changes in the economic environment, past data do not necessarily reflect future results. The information is sometimes based on assumptions regarding future events, steps taken by management, and the pattern of the future development of the risk margin, that will not necessarily materialize or will materialize in a manner different than the assumptions used in the information. Furthermore, actual results may materially vary from the information, since the combined scenarios of events may materialize in a manner that is materially different than the assumptions made in the information.
We draw attention to Section 1.6 - comments and clarifications regarding the solvency ratio, the uncertainty derived from regulatory changes and exposure to contingent liabilities, the effect of which on the solvency ratio cannot be estimated.
Respectfully,

The information provided below was calculated in accordance with the provisions of Circular 2020-1-15 of the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings (hereinafter - the "Commissioner") - "Amendment to the Consolidated Circular concerning Implementation of a Solvency II-Based Economic Solvency Regime for Insurance Companies" (hereinafter - the "Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime"). The information was prepared and presented in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1, Part 4, Section 5 in the Consolidated Circular, as updated in Circular 8-1-2022 (hereinafter - the "Disclosure Provisions"). The Solvency Circular sets a standard model for calculating existing shareholders' equity and the solvency capital requirement, aiming to bring insurance companies to a situation where they have the capacity to absorb losses arising from the materialization of unexpected risks to which they are exposed. The solvency ratio is the ratio between an insurance company's existing shareholder's equity and its regulatory solvency capital requirement.
The existing shareholders' equity for economic solvency regime purposes will be composed of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 Capital includes shareholders' equity calculated through assessing the value of an insurance company's assets and liabilities in accordance with the circular's provisions. Additional Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital include equity instruments with loss absorption mechanisms, including Subordinated Tier 2 capital, Hybrid Tier 2 capital and Tier 3 capital, which were issued prior to the circular's effective date. The circular includes restrictions on the composition of shareholders' equity for SCR purposes (see below), such that the rate of components included in Tier 2 Capital shall not exceed 40% of the SCR (will not exceed 50% during the Transitional Period, as described below).
The existing eligible capital should be compared to the capital requirement when there are two levels of capital requirements:
The existing capital and the capital requirement are calculated using data and models for calculating the economic solvency ratio, which are based, among other things, on forecasts and assumptions that rely mainly on past experience. The calculations performed as part of the economic capital calculation and the capital requirements are highly complex.
With respect to the calculation of the solvency ratio as of December 31, 2024, an audit was carried out by the independent auditor in accordance with the Commissioner's Directives.
The audit held in accordance International Standard on Assurance Engagement (ISAE) 3400 – "The Examination of Prospective Financial Information."
The data included in this Economic Solvency Ratio Report, including the eligible shareholders' equity and solvency capital requirement are based, among other things, on forecasts, assessments, and estimates of future events, the materialization of which is uncertain and is not under the Company's control, and which should be considered as "forward-looking information" as the term is defined in Section 32A to the Securities Law, 1968. Actual results may differ from the results reflected in this Economic Solvency Ratio Report, if such forecasts, assessments and estimates, either in whole or in part, fail to materialize or materialize in a manner different than anticipated, including, among other things, with respect to actuarial assumptions (including the rate of release of the risk margin, mortality rates, morbidity rates, recovery rates, cancellations, expenses, uptake of pension benefits, and underwriting income rate), assumptions regarding future management actions, assumptions regarding the development pattern of the capital requirements and risk margin, risk-free interest rates, capital market returns, future revenue, and damage in catastrophe scenarios.
The Disclosure Circular stipulates, among other things, that the Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31 and June 30 will be included in the first periodic report published after the calculation date, and posted on the Company's website on those dates. The Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31 of each year shall be audited by the Company's independent auditor of the Company as from the report as of December 31, 2018. In addition, the circular includes provisions regarding the structure of the Economic Solvency Ratio Report, its approval by the relevant organs in the Company, the requirement that it will be audited by the Company's independent auditor, and the disclosure requirements in respect thereof.
The Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime include, among other things, transitional provisions for the Transitional Period, where under one of the following alternatives may be selected:
In accordance with the principles for the calculation of Deduction during the Transitional Period in an economic solvency regime based on Solvency II, and the provisions for the application of an economic solvency regime, the Deduction Amount will be recalculated every two years, or at least, if there is a material change, the risk profile or the business structure of the insurance company, and in accordance with the Commissioner's requirements, if he believed that circumstances changed since then. The Company has recalculated the Deduction Amount as of December 31, 2024, and obtained the Commissioner's approval for the recalculation and for a deduction equal to NIS 3,353 million before the Deduction – see Section 1.5.3 below.

The Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime set guidance regarding an economic calculation of the eligible shareholders' equity and the solvency capital requirement. Set forth below are the key points of the provisions and the changes therein:
In accordance with the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, in general, the economic balance sheet line items are measured according to economic value, and specifically, the insurance liabilities are calculated based on the best estimate of all expected future cash flows from existing businesses, without conservatism margins. This is plus a risk margin, that reflects the total cost of capital that is expected to be required from another insurance company or reinsurer in order to assume the Company's insurance liabilities in the economic balance sheet. According to the provisions, the risk margin is calculated using the cost of capital method, at a rate of 6% per year of the expected capital requirement in respect of insurance risks over the life of the existing businesses, as follows:
The economic balance sheet is prepared based on the Company's separate financial statements plus investees, whose sole occupation is holding rights in real estate properties, plus subsidiary insurance companies, whose data are consolidated with those of the insurance company, and - according to the guidance - does not include the economic value of the provident funds activity and pension funds activity under the insurance company. The economic balance sheet attributes zero value to deferred acquisition costs and intangible assets (excluding the investment in "Insurtech," as defined in the Solvency Circular, according to the approval that the Company has received from the Commissioner in that respect).
As aforesaid, the Company opted for the current alternative provided by the Transitional Provisions, whereby the economic capital may be increased by gradually deducting from the insurance reserves due to the Deduction Amount, will be deducted gradually, until 2032 (hereinafter - the "Deduction during the Transitional Period" or the "Deduction during the Transitional Period"). Pursuant to the Letter of Principles, the Deduction during the Transitional Period shall be calculated by dividing insurance policies
issued through December 31, 2016 into homogeneous risk groups. The aforesaid deduction shall be calculated as the difference between insurance reserves (retention) as per the economic balance sheet including the risk margin attributed thereto (net of adjusting the fair value of designated bonds) and the insurance reserves (retention) as per the Financial Statements. This difference shall be deducted on a linear basis until December 31, 2032.
The Deduction during the Transitional Period shall be recalculated in subsequent periods in the following instances:
C. At the request of the Commissioner, if he/she believed that circumstances have changed since approval was given.
Furthermore, the Deduction Value During the Transitional Period shall be proportionate to the expected increase in the solvency ratio calculated excluding expedients during the Transitional Period - see Section 3.2.2 below.
On April 10, 2025, the Commissioner issued guidance regarding the calculation of the Deduction Amount after the application of IFRS 17 (starting from the Solvency Ratio Report as of June 30, 2025). In accordance with the guidance, the ratio between the calculated Deduction Amount as of December 31, 2024 and the amount of BE and RM components less the addition of the value of Hetz bonds (for a guaranteed return portfolio) should be calculated for each homogeneous risk group (hereinafter - the "Deduction Rates").
After the application of IFRS 17, the Deduction Amount will be determined by multiplying the Deduction Rates calculated as of December 31, 2024 for each homogeneous risk group, by the amount of the BE and RM components less the addition of the value of Hetz bonds (for a guaranteed return portfolio) as of the calculation date.
The maximum deduction for each reporting period will be equal to the Deduction Amount of all homogeneous risk groups, amortized, on a straight line basis, between December 31, 2019 and the end of 2032.
The calculation of the solvency capital requirement is based on an assessment of the economic shareholders' equity's exposure to the risk-weighted components set in the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime: life insurance risks, health insurance risks, property and casualty insurance risks, market risks and counter-party default risks. These risk-weighted components include sub-risk-weighted components with respect to specific risks to which the insurance company is exposed. The exposure assessment of the economic shareholders' equity to each sub-risk-weighted component is carried out based on a defined scenario set out in the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime. The determination of the solvency capital requirement is based on the sum of the capital requirements in respect of the riskweighted components and risk-weighted sub-components, as stated above, in accordance with the partial correlations assigned to them. The calculation of the solvency capital requirements also includes calculation of the capital requirement for operational risk and operational risk-weighted capital requirements in respect of management companies, net of the loss absorption adjustment due to deferred tax, as detailed by the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime.
The capital requirements in respect of each of the risks are calculated in accordance with the Company's exposure to that risk, taking into account the parameters set in the Directives. The capital requirement represents, in accordance with the Directives, the shareholders' equity that will allow the insurance company to absorb unexpected losses in the forthcoming year and meet its obligations to policyholders and beneficiaries on time, with a 99.5% certainty level.
The loss absorption adjustment with respect to deferred tax assets beyond the balance of the deferred tax reserve as per the economic balance sheet is limited to 5% of the basic solvency capital requirement (BSCR), provided that the following conditions are met:
• The insurance company is able to demonstrate to the Commissioner that it is probable that it will have future taxable income against which the tax assets may be utilized.
• Future income will arise only from property and casualty insurance or from Not Similar to Life Techniques (NSLT) health insurance.
It should be emphasized that the results of the models used in the calculation of the eligible shareholders' equity and the solvency capital requirement are highly sensitive to the forecasts and assumptions included therein, as well as to the manner by which the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime are implemented. The economic solvency ratio is highly sensitive to market variables and other variables, and accordingly may be volatile.
In accordance with the updated instructions of the consolidated circular on "public reporting" – the disclosure includes the results of the following sensitivity tests:
A 50 basis points decrease in the interest rate curve; a 25% decrease in the value of equity assets; a 5% increase in morbidity rates; a 5% decrease in mortality rates; and a 10% increase in cancellation rates. In addition, the report includes a breakdown of the movements in the capital surplus.
The Economic Solvency Ratio Report includes, among other things, forecasts based on assumptions and parameters based on past experience, as they arise from actuarial studies conducted from time to time, and on Company's assessments regarding the future, to the extent that it has relevant and concrete information which can be relied upon. The information and studies are similar to those used as the basis for the Company's annual 2024 report. Any information or studies obtained subsequent to the publication date of the Company's Annual Report for 2024 were not taken into account.
This Solvency Ratio Report was prepared based on the conditions and the best estimate as they were known to the Company as of December 31, 2024.
It should also be emphasized that, among other things, in view of the reforms in the capital, insurance and savings market and the changes in the business and economic environment, past data are not necessarily indicative of future results, and the Company is unable to reliably assess these effects. The calculation is sometimes based on assumptions regarding future events and steps taken by management, that will not necessarily materialize or will materialize in a manner different than the assumptions used in the calculation. Furthermore, actual results may materially vary from the calculation, since the combined scenarios of events may materialize in a manner that is materially different than the assumptions of the model.
The model, in its present form, is highly sensitive to changes in market variables and other variables, and specifically changes in the interest rate curve; therefore, the solvency ratio reflected therefrom may be very volatile.
Statements as of March 31, 2025, and immediate reports published as from that date. The settlement or extinguishment of these contingent liabilities may involve amounts, which are materially higher than their amounts as per the economic balance sheet. It is impossible to assess the effect of the uncertainty arising from the exposure to contingent liabilities described.

In October 2023, the Iron Swords War broke out (hereinafter - the "War") in the State of Israel. It is noted that there is substantial uncertainty regarding the further development of the War, its scope and duration. In addition, there is uncertainty as to the impact of the War on fluctuations in the financial markets, including, among other things, with regard to the risk-free interest rate curve and the inflation rate, which continued in the period between the calculation date of the Company's solvency ratio as of December 31, 2024 and the publication date. Accordingly, there is significant uncertainty regarding the future effects of the War on The Company's solvency ratio.
For more information about the consequences of the Iron Swords War, see Note 39 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024 and the Report of the Board of Directors for the period ended December 31, 2024, as well as Note 8 to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025.
As explained in Section 3.1.1. Following is the calculation of the insurance liabilities was carried out in accordance with the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime; generally, in relation to life and SLT health insurance liabilities, the calculation was carried out in accordance with EV calculation practice in Israel.1 The determination of the best estimate should be based on an estimation of the distribution of the potential best estimates ("Stochastic Models"), and in the absence of significant statistical data that will allow the assessment of the distribution probability of the best estimate, the Company used the expected value of each relevant factor ("Deterministic Models").
In accordance with an outline received from the Commissioner in November 2023, the Stochastic Model will not be implemented in the calculation of the solvency ratio without implementing the Transitional Provisions - over 3 reporting dates - but the Company will disclose its effects in the Economic Solvency Ratio Report. At this stage, the Company opted not to include this in the calculation that takes into consideration the Transitional Provisions.
In this report, the Company completed the stochastic calculation of the best estimate of the asymmetrical insurance liabilities cash flows (including carrying future management fees) based on an economic scenario generator,2 including the implementation of tests and control processes regarding the accuracy, robustness, and market consistency, as is the normal practice in foreign companies that implement stochastic models in the calculation of their economic solvency ratio. The Stochastic Model is used to calculate the optimal actuarial estimate of asymmetric insurance liabilities (including recognition of future variable management fees). With the Stochastic Model, the return used as a basis for the calculation remains unchanged compared to the Deterministic Model. However, the calculation of the cash flows in the Stochastic Model takes into account the volatility in the returns on the relevant assets according to their composition and characteristics, including the investment channels, average duration and exposure to the index and exchange rates of foreign currencies, and their effect on the charging of variable management fees. In order to create the Stochastic Model, the Company selected economic models that match its asset classes. As part of the process of selecting and calibrating those economic models, the Company was supported by international consultancy firms. In addition, the independent auditors reviewed the calculation process and the internal control.
The effect of the model's application is estimated at an additional rate of approx. 15%, without taking into account the Transitional Provisions, and with an additional rate of approx. 9%, taking into account the Transitional Provisions.

*) Prior to the application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, the effect of which was included in the Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025 for the December 31, 2024 figures.
For explanations regarding main changes in Tier 1 capital and significant effects on the economic solvency ratio's components, see Sections 2.1 and 3 below.
The fair value of assets and liabilities in the economic balance sheet was calculated in accordance with the provisions included in the chapter dealing with measurement of assets and liabilities for financial statements purposes in the Consolidated Circular (Chapter 1, Part 2 of Section 5) (hereinafter - the "Measurement Chapter in the Consolidated Circular"), except for items for which other provisions apply as per Part A of the Economic Solvency Regime, as follows:
The insurance liabilities were calculated based on a best estimate, on the basis of assumptions that are mainly a result of projecting to the future existing experience relating to past events, within the environment in which the Company operates, and without conservatism factors. The calculation of the insurance liabilities was carried out in accordance with the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime; generally, in relation to life and SLT health insurance liabilities, the calculation was carried out in accordance with EV calculation practice in Israel,3 and in relation to property and casualty insurance, it was carried out based on the part in the Measurement Chapter in the Consolidated Circular, which refers to best estimate.
3. EV (embedded value) is calculated in Israel in accordance with the rules and principles set by the Commissioner, who adopted the rules and principles of the report of the joint committee of insurance companies and the Commissioner, which worked with the guidance of consultants from Israel and abroad.
The measurement of the insurance liabilities in the economic balance sheet is carried out by discounting the projected cash flows, including future income, by a risk-free interest plus VAT and taking the UFR into consideration, on the basis of a best estimate that does not include conservatism margins, where the risk is reflected in the RM component, which is a separate liability. This measurement differs from the measurement applied in the financial statements, where insurance liabilities are estimated with conservatism margins using the discounting methods and rates described in Note 35 to the Company's 2024 annual financial statements.
The calculation of the liabilities in respect of life insurance contracts and long term health insurance (SLT) contracts was carried out by discounting the Company's estimated future cash flows using a model applied to information available in the Company's operational systems as to insurance coverages. The assumptions used in the model include, among other things, assumptions in respect of cancellations, operating expenses, mortality and morbidity, and they are set based on past experience and other relevant studies.
The calculation of the liabilities does not include cash flows in respect of future sales; however, it does include an assumption that the Company will continue receiving premiums from existing businesses (excluding in respect of policies without an insurance risk, including investment contracts). Furthermore, the calculation assumes that the Company shall continue as a going concern, i.e., that the Company's structure will not change, and therefore, some of the fixed expenses in the future shall not be allocated to the current portfolio, but rather to a new business which is expected to be sold in the future.
It is likely that the actual cash flows will vary to some degree on another from the estimates made on a best estimate basis, even if the underlying parameters of the calculation will not change in any way. See also Section 1.6 above.
The calculation's underlying assumptions were set in accordance with the Company's best estimates of relevant demographic and operational factors, and reflect the Company's expectations as to the future in respect of these factors. The demographic assumptions
included in the calculation were taken from Company's internal studies, if any, and conclusions reached as a result of exercising professional judgment, based on relevant experience and the integration of information received from external sources, such as information from reinsurers and mortality and morbidity tables published by the Commissioner.
The operational assumptions (general and administrative expenses) were calculated in accordance with the results of the Company's internal pricing model applied to expenses relating to the relevant insurance liabilities, including: allocation of expenses to the various segments and activities (issuance, current management, investments, etc.) and assumptions regarding their future development (in accordance with the CPI, scope of premiums and assets under management, etc.).
Set forth below are the key assumptions on which the Company relied in the calculations:
• General and administrative expenses - the Company analyzed the expenses allocated in the financial statements to the relevant insurance segments, and allocated them to various products and coverage types and to various activities such as current operating of the coverages, investment management, handling claims, payment of pensions, etc. The expenses study is revised periodically and the different types of expenses are carried to the future cash flow in relation to the relevant factors, such as the number of coverages, premiums, reserves or claims. The determination of the future expenses and their allocation to future cash flows include many assessments and judgments by the Company, which affect the amount of the liabilities.
The cost of claims in respect of future damages and damages that had already occurred but claims for which have not yet been paid - based on the Company's past experience in the different subsegments in connection with the rate of claims, the amounts of claims, and the rate of claim payouts in long-tail subsegments.
In accordance with the provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, as described above in Chapter C – Calculation Methodology, and following the change in risk-free interest rate curve, the Company has recalculated the value of the Deduction as of December 31, 2024, as the sum of the positive differences between the insurance reserves (retention) in the economic balance sheet, including the risk margin (less the adjustment to the fair value of designated bonds), and the insurance reserves (retention) according to the financial statements as of that date, after having obtained the Commissioner's approval for this, as required. These differences were calculated at product group level in accordance with the provisions included in the Letter of Principles, after receiving the required approval from the Commissioner.
The said deduction is amortized linearly for 13 years up to December 31, 2032, such that amortized balance as of December 31, 2024 is NIS 2,063 million.
In accordance with the Letter of Principles, the Company assessed the need to reduce the value of the reduced Deduction balance, which is deducted to reflect the expected increase in the solvency ratio, calculated without the Deduction. Accordingly, the Company did not deem it necessary to amortize the value of the amortized deduction balance as of December 31, 2024.
The future Deduction during the Transitional Period is subject to the above changes in assumptions, the developments of the businesses and a periodic approval by the Commissioner.
An insurance company shall assess the value of intangible assets at zero, except for investment in Insurtech as defined in the Solvency Circular, for which it obtained the Commissioner's approval, as required.
Valued at zero, consistently with the assessment of the insurance liabilities as described in Section (1) above.
Investees that are not insurance companies are valued in accordance with the adjusted equity method. That is to say, the proportionate share of the insurance company in the excess of assets over liabilities of the investee, without taking into consideration intangible assets. In management companies of pension and provident funds, 35% of the balance of the goodwill that has arisen upon acquisition was added to the economic value. The economic value of the investees does not include the profits implicit in those companies.
Presented at fair value in the economic balance sheet in accordance with the principles set out in Note 14(F) to the Company's annual financial statements.
Estimated in accordance with their fair value, which takes into account their interest rate and the best estimate as to the Company's future entitlement to purchase them, based on the assumptions used in the calculation of the best estimate of the insurance liabilities in respect of which the Company is entitled to designated bonds.
Assets for which there is an active market, revalued in accordance with the fair value. Assets for which there is no active market in the Company's opinion are valued at zero.
In addition to the insurance liabilities based on an best estimate, a component of the risk margin is calculated which reflects the total cost of capital that another insurance company would be expected to require in order to receive the insurance company's total insurance liabilities, calculated on the basis of an best estimate. The risk margin is calculated in accordance with the Commissioner's Directives, based on a capital cost rate of 6%, and is discounted at an adjusted risk-free interest rate, but excluding the VA component. The future capital requirement is calculated in accordance with the "risk factor method", by changing the capital requirement components calculated as of the reporting date in accordance with the projected development of the risk factors attributed thereto. These factors are designed to reflect the development of the standard
model risks over time. The calculation does not take into account the capital requirement in respect of market risks.4
As to the value of contingent liabilities in the economic balance sheet, see Section 1.6.2.4 above.
The calculation is based on the difference between the value attributed to assets and liabilities in the economic balance sheet, including in respect of the Deduction Amount, and the value attributed to those assets and liabilities for tax purposes, in accordance with the recognition, measurement and presentation provisions of IAS 12. Deferred tax assets may be recognized only if the Company shall meet the criteria included in the guidance, in addition to the criteria included in the abovementioned accounting standard.
Revalued in accordance with risk-free interest plus the margin on issuance date, without recognizing changes in the Company's credit risk.
According to the guidance, the Company did not calculate fair value of items with average duration of less than one year.
Assets and liabilities accounted for according to IFRS 16 are revalued at fair value.

(a) This section includes the effect of:
Effect of economic activity – The rise in the risk-free interest rate curve in 2024 and the excess returns for the period had a positive effect on the Company's capital surplus and has offset the adverse effects of the greater capital requirements for market risks, as specified in Section 2.1.
The effect of operating activities -
The effect of new businesses' activity - new businesses sold in 2024 had a positive contribution to the Company's profitability, while, on the other hand, they gave rise to capital requirements.
The effect of the Provisions for the Transitional Period – the capital surplus was negatively affected during the Transitional Period, due to the recalculation of the Deduction Amount in the first half and the annual amortization, as detailed in Section 1.3.1.
Following is a sensitivity analysis of the economic solvency ratio to various risk factors as of the report date. This analysis will reflect the effects of various risk factors both on equity, including the quantitative restrictions that apply to equity, and on the capital required for solvency purposes. The sensitivity tests only reflect direct effects, holding all other risk factors constant, and do not include secondary effects or derived changes on other risk factors.
It is noted that the sensitivity is not necessarily linear; i.e., sensitivity at other rates is not necessarily a simple extrapolation of the sensitivity test presented.
| As of December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|
| Effect on the economic solvency ratio (in percentage points) |
|
| A 50 basis points decrease in the risk-free interest rate curve | (6%) |
| A 25% decrease in the value of equity assets | (0%)* |
| A 5% increase in morbidity rate | (9%) |
| A 5% decrease in mortality rates | (10%) |
| A 10% increase in lapses rates | (4%) |
* Without material change
The Company's policy is to have a solid capital base to ensure its solvency and ability to meet its liabilities to policyholders, to preserve the Company's ability to continue its business activity and its ability to provide returns to its shareholders and support future business activity. In its capacity as an institutional entity, the Company is subject to the capital requirements set by the Commissioner.
According to the letter published by the Authority, in October 2017, (hereinafter - the "Letter") an insurance company shall be entitled to distribute a dividend only if, following the distribution, the company has a solvency ratio - according to the Economic Solvency Circular - of at least 100%, calculated without taking into account the Transitional Provisions and subject to the solvency ratio target set by the Company's Board of Directors. The aforesaid ratio shall be calculated without the relief granted in respect of the original difference attributed to the acquisition of the provident funds and management companies. In addition, the letter set out provisions for reporting to the Commissioner.
The following are data on the Company's economic solvency ratio, calculated without taking into account the Transitional Provisions and subject to the solvency ratio target set by the Company's Board of Directors. The ratio is lower than the solvency ratio required by the letter.
On June 28, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a policy for the distribution of a dividend at a rate of 30%-50% of the Company's comprehensive income. The distribution is subject to the Company's complying with a minimum equity target of 110% in accordance with the economic solvency regime, without implementing the transitional provisions. The distribution is also subject to the Company's complying with its capital targets, taking into consideration the Transitional Provisions during and after the Transitional Period.
This is further to setting a capital management policy whereby the target range for the Company's economic solvency ratio shall be 150%-170%, as approved in June 2021. In addition, the minimum economic solvency ratio target for prudential purposes is set at 135%. These targets relate to a solvency ratio taking into account the Deduction Amount during the Transitional Period until the end of 2032 and thereafter.
On May 28, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors approved the revision of the minimum capital target for dividend distribution to 115%.
It is hereby clarified that this policy should not be viewed as an undertaking by the Company to distribute dividends.
It is noted that in February 2025, the Commissioner issued a letter regarding capital targets, which clarifies the appropriate practices for setting the capital targets. The Company is reviewing its targets in light of the Commissioner's letter.
