Untitled The Bank of Greenland CVR-no. 80050410 Notification to Nasdaq OMX Copenhagen 08/2025 Interim Report First half of 2025 Interim Report First half of 2025 1 Management’s Review 2 Interim Report in headlines 2 Financial Highlights for the first half of 2025 4 Management’s Review, first half of 2025 5 Management Statement 11 Income Statement and Statement of Comprehensive Income 13 Balance Sheet 14 Statement of Changes in Equity 15 Overview of Notes 17 Notes to the Interim Report 18 Contents Interim Report First half of 2025 Management’s Review 2 Interim Report in headlines The BANK of Greenland's profit before tax amounted to DKK 84.4 million for the first half of 2025, compared to DKK 120.1 million for the first half of 2024. The profit before value adjust- ments and write-downs is, as expected, affected by the declin- ing level of interest rates, and amounted to DKK 94.7 million, compared to DKK 127.5 million for the previous year. Lending has increased by DKK 138 million since the end of 2024, amounting to DKK 5,169 million at the end of the first half-year. It was expected that Greenland's economic develop- ment would result in positive, but more subdued growth in the Bank’s lending in 2025. Guarantees decreased by DKK 1 million from DKK 1,423 million at the end of 2024 to DKK 1,422 mil- lion at the end of the first half of 2025. Net interest and fee income decreased by DKK 22.7 million to DKK 219.6 million in the first half of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to the de- velopment in market interest rates, compensated by the in- creasing business volume in the Bank. Total expenses including depreciation amounted to DKK 128.4 million at the end of the first half of 2025, compared to DKK 117.5 million for the same period in 2024. The increase concerns staff expenses as a consequence of col- lective agreement-based adjustments and continued investment in more employees, as well as other administration expenses, where the increase can be attributed primarily to IT expenses and supplementary training of employees. At the end of the first half of 2025, value adjustments showed a capital gain of DKK 4.3 million, compared to a capital gain of DKK 3.9 million for the same period in 2024. Interest rate trends resulted in positive development in the Bank’s bond holdings, while the currency area declined slightly. In isolated terms, the Bank's holdings of sector equities performed nega- tively, although sector equities yielded high dividends in 2025. Impairment of loans and guarantees amounted to DKK 14.5 million in the first half of 2025, compared to DKK 11.2 million in the first half of 2024. The Bank sees continued satisfactory creditworthiness in the loan portfolio. In addition to the Bank’s individual impairment models, a management supplement of DKK 39.7 million has been allocated. In particular, the supple- ment accommodates the risks associated with increasing infla- tion and interest rates, and greater cyclical uncertainty. In the stock exchange announcement of 11 December 2024, the forecast profit before tax for 2025 was stated as a range of DKK 150-185 million, which remains unchanged. Management’s Review The profit before tax gives a return of 11.6% p.a. on opening equity after disbursement of dividend. Loans at DKK 5.2 billion. Deposits at DKK 7.2 billion. Core earnings per krone in costs of 1.74 in the first half of 2025, compared to 1.93 in the first half of 2024. Write-downs and provisions of 0.2% for the period. Solvency ratio of 25.5 and a capital requirement of 10.5%.

A falling level of interest rates in 2025 was expected, and in the same period the certificate of deposit interest rate decreased from 3.35% to 1.6% at the end of June 2025. The Bank also saw shifts in deposits in favour of savings and high-interest-rate accounts, thereby reducing the deposit mar- gin during 2024 and 2025. The increase in lending and deposits in 2024 and 2025 offsets the development in the level of interest rates. Share dividend increased by TDKK 1,186 to TDKK 10,045 as of 30 June 2025. The Bank solely holds sector equities. Fee and commission income decreased by TDKK 1,432 com- pared to the same period of 2024. Lower payment settlement fees and a lower guarantee level are the primary contributing factors. Net interest and fee income decreased overall by TDKK 22,717 to TDKK 219,646 for the first half of 2025. Other operating income amounted to TDKK 3,381, which is an increase of TDKK 764 from the first half of 2024. The differ- ence primarily concerns non-recurring income. Staff and administration expenses amounted to TDKK 122,121, which is an increase of TDKK 11,315 compared to the first half of 2024. Staff expenses increased by TDKK 6,467 as a result of staff increases and salary increases under collective agreements. Administration expenses increased by TDKK 4,848. The in- crease primarily concerns IT expenses and supplementary train- ing of employees. Other operating expenses, which mainly concern operation and maintenance of the Bank's office buildings, decreased by TDKK 753 to TDKK 1,610 in the first half of 2025, compared to the same period of 2024. The increase is due to the lower contribution to the Resolution Fund for 2025. Depreciation of properties and fixtures and fittings amounted to TDKK 4,645, compared to TDKK 4,316 for the same period in 2024. The profit before value adjustments and write-downs is TDKK 94,651, compared to TDKK 127,495 in the first half of 2024. Value adjustments present a total capital gain of TDKK 4,283, compared to a capital gain of TDKK 3,917 for the same period in 2024. In terms of value adjustments alone, the Bank’s hold- ings of sector equities performed negatively, although this should be viewed against share dividends, as described above. Based on the level of interest rates, the Bank's bond holdings also gave slightly higher capital gains in the first half of 2025 than for the same period in 2024.

The Bank sees continued satisfactory creditworthiness in the loan portfo- lio. The impairment level is still modest and the impairment ra- tio for the period is 0.2%. Despite uncertain macroeconomic prospects and geopolitical instability, Greenland and the BANK of Greenland’s customers are not significantly challenged so far. However, the future eco- nomic development is subject to uncertainty. In addition to the individual write-downs, on this basis the Bank has maintained a significant management reserve of DKK 39.7 million to counter risks. The profit before tax is TDKK 84,414, and is thereby TDKK 35,726 lower than for the same period in 2024. Development in the quarter Net interest and fee income amounted to TDKK 94,028 in Q1, and TDKK 111,691 in Q2. This development can primarily be related to the share dividend on the Bank's sector equities holdings in Q2. Total costs amounted to TDKK 64,384 in Q1 and TDKK 63,992 in Q2. Staff expenses decreased in Q2, since in Q1 holi- day allowance, etc. is paid, but is not paid in the subsequent quarters. Other administration costs were by and large un- changed between the quarters. The profit before value adjustments and write-downs thereby increased to TDKK 49,334 in Q2, which is TDKK 4,017 higher than in Q1 2025. The profit before tax increased to DKK 45.3 million in Q2 2025, from DKK 39.0 million in Q1 2025. Lending increased by TDKK 78,749 in Q1, and by TDKK 43,918 in Q2, which overall corresponds to an increase of 3% from the end of 2023. At the start of the year, it was expected that the favourable economic development in Greenland would increase the Bank's lending. Deposits increased by TDKK 268,070 in Q1 2025, but de- creased by TDKK 127,656 in Q2. In overall terms, the increase in deposits from the end of 2023 thus amounted to TDKK 140,414. Balance sheet and equity During the first half-year, the Bank’s lending showed a satisfac- tory increase of TDKK 137,946 to TDKK 5,168,941, while the Bank’s guarantees to customers decreased by TDKK 598 from the end of 2024 and amounted to TDKK 1,422,045 at the end of June 2025. In the annual reallocation the Bank acquired additional sector equities in 2025. At 30 June 2025, equities, etc. amounted to TDKK 163,926, compared to TDKK 150,963 at the end of 2024. In the first half of 2025 the Bank acquired five new staff homes, increasing the value of domicile properties to TDKK 327,652. At the end of June 2025, the Bank’s deposits, which predomi- nantly comprise on-demand deposits, amounted to TDKK 7,183,322, which is an increase of TDKK 30,515 from the end of 2024. The Bank continues to have a stable deposit/lending ratio of approximately 139%. After payment of the dividend of TDKK 180,000 for 2024 adopted by the Annual General Meeting, the Bank's equity de- creased from TDKK 1,593,622 to TDKK 1,524,274. Total assets thereby increased by TDKK 21,103 to TDKK 10,042,646, 1.000.000 1.500.000 2.000.000 2.500.000 3.000.000 3.500.000 4.000.000 4.500.000 5.000.000 5.500.000 6.000.000 6.500.000 7.000.000 7.500.000 Q2 2022 Q2 2023 Q2 2024 Year 2024 Q2 2025 Deposits Lending Guarantees Interim Report First half of 2025 Management’s Review 7 Uncertainty of recognition and measurement The principal uncertainties concerning recognition and meas- urement are related to write-downs on lending, provisions on guarantees and non-utilised credit facilities, together with the valuation of properties, unlisted securities and financial instru- ments. The management assesses that the presentation of the accounts is subject to an appropriate level of uncertainty. Financial risks The BANK of Greenland is exposed to various financial risks, which are managed at different levels of the organisation. The Bank’s financial risks consist of: Credit risk: Risk of loss as a consequence of debtors’ or coun- terparties’ default on actual payment obligations. Market risk: Risk of loss as a consequence of fluctuation in the fair value of financial instruments and derivative financial instru- ments due to changes in market prices. The BANK of Green- land classifies three types of risk within the market risk area: in- terest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and share risk. Liquidity risk: Risk of loss as a consequence of the financing costs increasing disproportionately, the risk that the Bank is prevented from maintaining the adopted business model due to a lack of financing/funding, or ultimately, the risk that the Bank cannot fulfil agreed payment commitments when they fall due, as a consequence of the lack of financing/funding. Operational risk: The risk that the Bank in full or in part incurs financial losses as a consequence of inadequate or inappropri- ate internal procedures, human errors, IT systems, etc. Capital requirement The BANK of Greenland must by law have a capital base that supports the risk profile. The BANK of Greenland compiles the credit and market risk according to the standard method and the operational risk according to the basic indicator method. MREL requirement The requirement concerning own funds and eligible liabilities must be viewed as an element of the recovery and resolution of banks. This entails that banks which are subject to this re- quirement must maintain a ratio of capital instruments and debt obligations that, in a resolution situation, can be written down or converted before simple claims. On 10 December 2024, a revised MREL requirement was de- termined for the BANK of Greenland, at 30.2% of the Bank’s risk-weighted assets at the end of 2023. The MREL require- ment is being phased in from 2022 to 2027. The linear phasing- in means that by 2025 the Bank must fulfil an MREL require- ment of 10.07%. This means that in the course of the coming years, the Bank must fulfil the phased-in requirement by issuing capital instruments and consolidation of equity capital. In continuation of the established MREL requirement, the Bank has made issues every year from 2021 to 2025. A total of DKK 275 million was issued in Senior Non-Preferred and DKK 145 million in subordinated debt. Going forward, the Bank also expects to issue securities. Capital requirement First half- year 2025 Year 2024 Pillar I 8.00% 8.00% Pillar II 2.45% 3.10% Solvency requirement 10.45% 11.10% SIFI buffer requirement 1.50% 1.50% Capital reserve buffer requirement 2.50% 2.50% Capital requirement 14.45% 15.10% MREL requirement (phased in linearly as from 1 January 2022) 10.07% 7.55% Total capital requirement 24.52% 22.65% Capital base, cf.

The capi- tal requirement is the capital which, according to the manage- ment’s assessment, as a minimum is needed to cover all risks. The BANK of Greenland was designated as an SIFI institution in April 2017. Based on the requirements concerning own funds and eligible liabilities, the Board of Directors expects that the total capital reserves must be increased during the coming years. The aim of the Board of Directors is that there must be sufficient capital for growth in the Bank’s business activities, just as there must be sufficient capital to cover ongoing fluctuations in the risks as- sumed by the Bank. In 2021, the Bank’s Board of Directors therefore adopted a capital objective with a set target for CET1 of 24%. The BANK Interim Report First half of 2025 Management’s Review 8 of Greenland’s core capital ratio was 23.2 at the end of the first half of 2025, and the capital ratio was 25.5. With effect from the beginning of 2025, elements of the CRR3 capital requirements regulations entered into force in the EU. CRR3 is expected to be implemented in Greenland at the end of 2025. On the basis of new IT systems for compilation of capital requirements, the Bank already commenced adjustment to the regulations in the first half of 2025, and will continue this adjustment up to the implementation in Greenland. Risk-weighted assets increased by TDKK 402,953 to TDKK 6,113,314 at the end of June 2025. It was expected that the Bank would see an increase as a consequence of the changed weighting of real estate exposure in particular. When the legis- lation has been implemented in Greenland, the Bank expects a decrease in the risk-weighted items. The result for the first half of 2025 has not been verified by the Bank’s auditor and is therefore not included in the capital ratio. Including the result for the first half of 2025, the core capital ra- tio is calculated at 24.3% and the capital ratio at 26.6%. At the end of June 2025, the Bank’s individual solvency require- ment was compiled at 10.5%. The BANK of Greenland thereby has surplus capital cover before the buffer requirements of 15.0%, or TDKK 921,995. After deductions for the capital re- serve buffer requirement of 2.5% and the SIFI buffer require- ment of 1.5%, the surplus cover is 11.0%. The BANK of Greenland has published further details of the calculated solvency requirement in a report on its website http://www.banken.gl/report/ Liquidity The liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) is a minimum requirement of the ratio between current assets and liabilities, to ensure a satis- factory liquidity ratio. At the end of Q2, the Bank had an LCR of 264.2% and thereby fulfils the LCR requirement of at least 100%. The Bank’s required funding is based solely on deposits. The BANK of Greenland’s reported individual solvency requirement according to the 8+ model First half-year 2025 Full year 2024 Capital require- ment Solvency requi- rement Capital require- ment Solvency requi- rement Pillar I requirement 489,065 8.0 456,829 8.0 Credit risk 99,171 1.6 114,534 2.0 Market risk 19,504 0.3 27,320 0.5 Liquidity risk 2,625 0.1 6,270 0.1 Operational risk 21,427 0.4 23,621 0.4 Other risk 7,079 0.1 5,524 0.1 Capital and solvency requirement 638,871 10.5 634,098 11.1 The Supervisory Diamond The BANK of Greenland has considered the benchmarks set out in the Danish FSA’s Supervisory Diamond for banks. The Supervisory Diamond states five benchmarks for banking activi- ties which the Bank aims to fulfil. It must be noted that publicly- owned enterprises account for 48% points of the sum of large exposures. Interim Report First half of 2025 Management’s Review 9 The property exposure amounted to 18.1%. This exposure is subject to considerable subordinate public financing. In addition, some of the exposure is based on lease contracts with the state, the Government of Greenland or municipalities. The Bank assesses that both of these factors contribute to stabilising the overall sector exposure. Investor Relations The BANK of Greenland’s overall financial objective is to achieve a competitive return for the shareholders. At a price of 775 at the end of the first half of 2025, the price of the BANK of Greenland’s shares has increased from the end of 2024, when the price was 700. At the Bank’s Annual General Meeting on 26 March 2025, a dividend payment of DKK 100 per share, or a total of DKK 180 million, to the Bank’s shareholders was adopted, and this was paid out on 31 March 2025. In accordance with Section 28a of the Danish Companies Act, six shareholders have notified shareholdings in excess of 5%. The Bank has no holdings of own shares. The BANK of Greenland's mission, values and cor- porate governance The BANK of Greenland conducts banking activities in Green- land in open competition with domestic and foreign banks and provides advice and services in the financial area to all citizens and businesses in Greenland. The Bank's mission should be viewed in a broader perspective whereby the BANK of Greenland can be seen as the BANK for all of Greenland. This entails an enhanced responsibility to par- ticipate positively and actively in society’s development and to help to create opportunities for the benefit of Greenland, while also ensuring sound financial activities. The BANK of Greenland is highly aware of this vital role. The BANK of Greenland’s values are firmly anchored in the Bank and its employees. The values are Commitment, Decency, Customer-oriented and Development-oriented. These values serve as a guide for how we act and wish to be seen within and outside the Bank. The BANK of Greenland considers all of the Corporate Gov- ernance recommendations and the Danish Executive Order on Management and Control of Banks, etc. and it is the Bank’s ob- jective to observe these recommendations at all times and to the greatest possible extent. The Bank's Corporate Governance Statement can be found on the Bank's website www.banken.gl. Outlook for the remainder of 2025 As described in the Annual Report for 2024, the BANK of Greenland expects close to zero growth in Greenland's econ- omy in 2025. In both the short and longer term, the increased focus on Greenland in the first half-year can affect the economic devel- opment and the framework conditions in Greenland. However, the BANK of Greenland has no basis to assess that this will be of any material significance in the short term in 2025, so that it is still the macroeconomic and local conditions that are gener- ally expected to influence the Bank's operations. Declining interest rates increase the appetite for investment, and lending is expected to develop moderately positively to- wards the end of the year, but with lower growth than in 2024. Deposits are expected to be at the level of or just above the end of 2024. The Bank will be affected negatively if inflation and cyclical trends are exacerbated to any significant degree. Total core income is expected to decrease in 2025, for which the primary reason is the development in interest rates. Total expenses including depreciation and amortisation are ex- pected to be higher than in 2024. A few staff increases and the full effect of staff increases are expected in 2024. Administra- tion expenses are also expected to increase, primarily in the IT area. The Supervisory Diamond First half- year 2025 Limit Sum of large exposures 136.1% < 175% Property exposure 18.1% < 25% Growth in lending 1.40% < 20% Liquidity-benchmark 266.3% > 100% Interim Report First half of 2025 Management’s Review 10 The Bank assesses that the credit quality of the loan portfolio is satisfactory. Impairment write-downs on loans are therefore still expected to be at a low, but normalised, level. Based on the expected level of interest rates, gains on the Bank’s listed securities must be expected. Capital gains are also expected from the currency area and sector shares. On this basis, the expectation of a profit before tax at the level of DKK 150-185 million is maintained.

Capital conditions and solvency 26 Overview of Notes Interim Report First half of 2025 Notes to the Interim Report 18 The Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Business Act, the statutory order on financial reports for credit institutions and investment service compa- nies, etc. and the Danish disclosure requirements for the in- terim reports of listed financial companies. The accounting policies applied are unchanged from the Annual Report for 2024. Tax, which consists of current tax and changes in deferred tax, is recognised in the income statement when it relates to the profit for the period, and directly in equity when it can be at- tributed to items carried directly to equity. On calculating the taxable income, Greenland allows tax deduc- tion of dividends for the dividend-paying company. The taxation value of this is therefore added to equity at the time of the Annual General Meeting’s approval of the dividend. Deferred tax assets are recognised in the balance sheet at the value at which the asset is expected to be realised. The interim report has not been audited or reviewed. The calculation of the accounting value of certain assets and lia- bilities is subject to a degree of uncertainty and an estimate of how future events will affect the value of these assets and liabil- ities. The most significant estimates relate to: • measurement of loans, guarantees and non-utilised credit facilities; • financial instruments; • fair value of domicile properties; and • provisions. Non-listed financial instruments that primarily concern sector equities and that are measured at estimated fair values. The measurement of the fair value of the Bank’s head office properties is subject to significant accounting estimates and as- sessments, including expectations of the properties’ future re- turns and the fixed yield ratios. For provisions, there are significant estimates related to the de- termination of the future employee turnover rate, as well as determining the interest obligation for tax-free savings accounts.
