In the following, the result figures for the third quarter of 2025 are compared with the second quarter of 2025 and the pro forma figures for the third quarter of 2024. The pro forma information represents the figures as if the merger between SpareBank 1 SR-Bank ASA and SpareBank 1 Sørøst-Norge AS had taken place on 01.01.2023 og therefore includes pro forma figures for 2023 and 2024.
The group delivered operating profit before tax of NOK 2,120 million for the third quarter of 2025. Compared to the previous quarter, there is a reduction of NOK 4 mill, adjusted for the provision charged in connection with a court judgment in the case versus Tietoevry Norway AS in the second quarter. The decrease is driven by a moderate increase in impairments, which is offset by a NOK 26 million reduction in costs.
Operating profit before tax increased by NOK 280 million compared with the third quarter of 2024, adjusted for the following one-off effects: NOK 577 million gain from merger of Eika Forsikring and Fremtind Forsikring and NOK 105 million writedown of Folkeinvest. The improvement in profit
was due to increased net interest income, commissions and other income, net income from financial investments and a decline in impairments.
The return on equity after tax was 13.0% for the quarter (14.5% adjusted for goodwill from the merger and merger cost).
Fig. 1, Financial performance

Net interest income amounted to NOK 2,328 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of NOK 18 million from the previous quarter. Corrected for number of days, this represents a reduction of NOK 7 million. The reduction was due to a slightly lower net interest margin. Compared with the same quarter last year, net interest income increased by NOK 20 million, which was mainly due to growth in lending and deposits.
Fig. 2, Net interest income

The average net interest margin was 1.79% in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 1.86% in the second quarter of 2025 and 1.93% in the same quarter last year.

Net commission and other income amounted to NOK 778 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of NOK 80 million compared with the previous quarter. The decrease was mainly due to decreased commissions from the real estate agencies and accounting firms, due to sesonal effects. This was partly offset by increased income from payment facilities and insurance, amounting to NOK 25 million and NOK 8 million.
Compared with the third quarter of 2024, there is an increase of NOK 84 million. The increase was mainly due to higher commissions from the real estate agencies as
a result of the incorporation of Ullevål Eiendomsmegling AS and Kaland & Partners AS and higher activity. Income from insurance increased by NOK 22 million, this was partly offset by a NOK 11 million reduction in income from payment facilites.

In the third quarter of 2025, NOK 78 million was related to merger expenses, compared with NOK 69 million in the previous quarter. In the previous quarter a provision of NOK 74 million was made in connection with a court judgment in the case against Tietoevry Norway AS. Corrected for the aforementioned one-off items, costs declined by NOK 35 million. The reduction is due to effective cost control within the group.
Compared with the third quarter of 2024, costs increased by NOK 46 million. Adjusted for merger costs, the increase was NOK 64 million and is primarily attributable to higher costs from the real estate agencies, in connection with mergers and higher activity levels.
The group's cost to income ratio was 37.0% in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 39.9% in the second quarter of 2025 and 33.8% in the same quarter last year. The banking group's cost to income ratio1 was 35.7% for the third quarter of 2025, compared with 39.1% for the previous quarter.
The group recognised impairments on loans and financial commitments totalling NOK 115 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared with NOK 76 million for the previous quarter and NOK 166 million for the third quarter of 2024.
In the third quarter of 2025, NOK 88 million of the impairments were individual impairments, while NOK 28 million were model-based impairments. The increase in individual impairments is mainly related to exposures in the corporate market.
The group's impairment on loans and financial commitments amounted to 0.12% of gross loans in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 0.08% in the second quarter of 2025 and 0.18% in the third quarter of 2024.
The group's loans and financial commitments are classified into three groups: Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3. Stage 3 is used for loans and financial commitments that have seen a significant rise in credit risk since being granted and where there is objective evidence of a loss event on the balance sheet date. The loss provision must cover expected losses over their lifetime for these loans and financial commitments.
Gross loans and financial commitments classified as Stage 3 amounted to NOK 2,735 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025, compared with NOK 2,702 million in the previous quarter and NOK 3,006 million in the third quarter of 2024. The reduction compared with the same period last year was mainly due to the phasing out of exposures.
1 The consolidated cost to income ratio equals total income less net income from financial investments divided by costs in the banking group. The banking group includes SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge (parent bank) and SR-Boligkreditt AS.
Fig. 3, Gross loans and financial commitments in Stage 3

Net commissions and other income increased operating profit by NOK 271 million due to the increase in commissions from real estate agencies and insurance. Net income on financial investments was up by NOK 499 million. The increase was due to positive MtM change in financial instruments and increased income from ownership interests.

Table 8, Capital adequacy
| Q3 25 | Q2 25 | Q1 25 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CET1 capital ratio | 18.51 | 18.63 | 18.29 |
| Tier 1 capital ratio | 20.48 | 20.67 | 20.13 |
| Capital ratio | 23.19 | 23.47 | 22.93 |
| Leverage ratio | 7.44 | 7.33 | 7.54 |
At the end of the third quarter of 2025, the CET1 capital ratio was 18.51%, and the capital adequacy ratio was 23.19%. This exceeds the current CET1 capital ratio requirement of 17.53% and the capital adequacy requirement of 22.08%.
The total requirement for SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge ASA's CET1 capital ratio was 17.53% at the end of the third quarter of 2025.

The Financial Supervisory Authority's preliminary assessment is that the bank's CET 1 capital ratio requirement will be reduced from 17.53% to 17.06% at the end of the year. The Pillar 2 premium in the CET1 capital is reduced from 1.35 % to 1.13% and the expectation for the Pillar 2 guidance will be changed from 1.25% to 1.00%.

The group has a special share savings scheme for the group's employees. All permanent employees have an opportunity to purchase shares for a specified savings amount, limited to a maximum of NOK 5,000 per employee per month, at a 30% discount and with a lock-in period of 2 years. Around 76% of the group's employees have signed a regular savings agreement for the share savings scheme in 2025.
The sustainability strategy is part of the group Strategy and was revised in autumn 2025. The revised strategy places increased emphasis on integrating sustainability into the commercial strategy and business development. Social sustainability in relation to customers, suppliers, and society is a key focus area. SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge ASA aims to contribute to achieving the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. To support this ambition, the group has set a target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, both from its own operations and from its lending and investment portfolios.
For material industries—measured by lending volume, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy consumption—as well as for the group's own operations, specific emission pathways have been adopted with emission trajectories toward 2050. International shipping, commercial real estate, and residential real estate have annual targets, including for 2030 and 2050. Oil and gas have targets for 2030 and 2050, while agriculture has targets only for 2030. The new strategy places greater emphasis on translating the transition plans into concrete actions for advisors and customers. The transition plan is available on the group's website.
As part of this work, a target has been set to increase the share of lending that qualifies under the group's sustainable finance framework to 25 percent by 2030. At the end of the third quarter of 2025, the bank had financed approximately NOK 72 billion that qualifies, corresponding to 18.3 percent of total lending.
Targets have also been set related to the social dimension, our employees, and our customers, and active efforts are being made to follow up on these. For an overview of all the group's targets, please refer to the 2024 annual report.
The estimated synergies from the merger have been revised upwards, due to stronger effects from operational and funding synergies. This contributes positively to the group's cost development and operating profits. Total synergies are increased by NOK 150 million from the previous quarter and the total estimate is NOK 450 million annually from and including 2027.
The group is on schedule with respect to realising funding, operational and personnel synergies. Synergies are being realised in line with plans and were approximately NOK 126 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025 (on an annualized basis).
Uncertainty surrounding economic growth persists, driven by developments in trade policy and geopolitical instability. While increased tariffs are constraining growth among trading partners, their impact on inflation has so far been limited.
Norges Bank reduced its policy rate from 4.25% to 4.00% at its interest rate meeting in September. The central bank also indicated that the policy rate can be cut further down to 3,2% by the end of 2028. The inflation rate is declining, but remains above target.
Our surveys of companies in the group's market area show strong optimism among companies in the Southern Norway, particularly in Rogaland and Vestland. The companies are expecting higher employment and increased revenue, but global trade conditions and rising tariffs are creating uncertainty around investments and profitability.
The board considers the quality of the loan portfolio to be good, despite the trade turmoil and uncertainty in the international market.
The group's long-term financial target for the return on equity is higher than 14% and to be among the top three comparable banking groups in Norway. This will be achieved through profitable growth in lending and other income, cost and capital efficiency and realising of synergies.
The group's cost to income ratio target is less than 40%.
The group's dividend policy is to distribute above 50% in cash dividend of the profit for the year. The group has established a share buyback program as a supplement to cash dividends. Consideration must be given to financial needs, including capital adequacy requirements and the group's targets and strategic plans, when determining the annual dividend.
Based on the authorities' CET1 capital ratio requirements and the Pillar 2 guidance, the group's CET1 capital ratio target is a minimum of 17.53%. The CET1 capital ratio is expected to be reduced to 17.06% in connection with the Norwegian FSA's notice of its decision on the Pillar 2 premium and Pillar 2 Guidance. Based on the calculated effects of the regulatory changes, the board believes that SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge ASA is well-positioned for profitable growth and strong capital distribution.
The board is of the opinion that the drivers of structural change in the savings bank sector remain highly relevant, and it will take a proactive approach to structural changes in the sector in order to safeguard and create value for customers, employees, owners and local communities.

These interim financial statements for SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge ASA cover the period 1 January - 30 September 2025. The interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial statements are unaudited. These interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with the applicable IFRS® standards and IFRIC interpretations.
The interim financial statements do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for 2024.
On 29 August 2025, the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority granted permission to SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge ASA to include the portfolio from the former SpareBank 1 Sørøst-Norge in its IRB system.
There are no other new standards, amendments to standards or interpretations which has been implemented since 01.01.2025 with material effect on the group or parent bank's financial statements.
There are a number of new standards, changes to the standards and interpretations that are mandatory for future annual accounts.There are no standards or interpretations that have not been adopted yet, that are expected to have any material effects on the group's statements.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements entails the group executive management making estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the effect of the application of the accounting policies and thus the amounts recognised for assets, liabilities, income and costs. Note 3 of the annual financial statements for 2024 explains in more detail the use of critical estimates and judgements when applying the accounting policies.
The group's assessment of critical estimates and judgements concerning the use of the accounting policies has not changed since 31.12.2024.
The group conducts annual evaluation of its corporate market portfolio. High-risk exposures in the corporate market portfolio are evaluated on a quarterly basis. Loans to retail customers are subject to evaluation when they are more than 90 days past due; larger exposures in default are evaluated on a quarterly basis.
The group's risk classification systems are described under financial risk management in the annual report.
The group carries out an impairment if there is objective evidence that can be identified for an individual exposure, and the objective evidence entails a reduction in future cash flows for servicing the exposure. Objective evidence may be default, bankruptcy, insolvency or other significant financial difficulties.
Individual impairment provisions are calculated as the difference between the loan's book (carrying) value and the present value of future cash flows based on the effective interest rate at the time of the calculation of the initial individual impairment. Account is taken of subsequent changes in interest rates for loan agreements with variable rates if these changes affect the expected cash flow. For smaller exposures, the general rule is that the difference between the actual exposure at the time of impairment and the realisation value (underabsorption) of the pledged collateral is written down, and that the impairment is based on one scenario. For larger exposures, the general rule is that the difference between the actual exposure and the bank's assessment of the discounted value of the customer's future cash flow is written down, and the impairment is based on three scenarios.
According to IFRS 9, loss provisions are recognised for all exposures based on expected credit loss (ECL). The measurement of the provisions for expected losses on exposures that are not individually impaired depends on whether or not the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. Upon initial recognitionn and when the credit risk has not increased significantly after initial recognition, provisions must be made for 12 months' expected losses. If the credit risk has increased substantially after initial recognition, provisions must be made for expected losses over the entire lifetime. Expected credit loss is calculated on the basis of the present value of all cash flows over the remaining expected lifetime.
Climate related issues are given increased attention in the credit assessments, and the related risiks are first and foremost uncovered through the utilisation of an ESG-module in the credit related work. Climate-related risk is also taken into account in the assessment of individual impairments. A need for specific, climate related impairment provisions has so far not been deemed neccessary. The scoring from the ESG-module is included in the stress test-model which is used, among other things, for the preparation of climate-related stress tests. Further development and clarifications regarding how expectations of climate related credit losses are to be included in the impairment provisions/IFRS 9-model are still needed. Also refer to note 6 in the annual financial statements for 2024.
A probability weighted average is calculated for four different scenarios: an upside scenario, a base scenario, an sector crisis scenario and a stress scenario, respectively. The base scenario is based on the most recent editon of "Monetary Policy Report", and represents a normal business cycle. The upside scenario represents a period of economic growth with better macro economic prospects than the base scenario. The sector crisis scenario represents a sector-specific downturn period, currently based on a scenario involving a prolonged trade war. This selected sector crisis scenario is aligned with the group's overall scenario framework. The stress scenario is linked to the group's periodic internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) for a period of comprehensive economic decline. The scenarios are reviewed quarterly by an internal working group consisting of senior-level personnel and are adjusted if there are significant changes in the macroeconomic outlook. In Q3 2025, some model improvements were implemented, which, together with macroeconomic developments and a slight negative trend in credit risk, contribute to an increase in loan loss provisions. Additionally, the scenario weighting has been adjusted to reflect a more severe sector crisis scenario. The total impairment charges for exposures without individual writedowns have increased by NOK 28 million. This increase should be viewed in relation to exposures that were individually written down during the period.
The choice of scenarios and their weighting are regularly reviewed (at least once a year) by the aforementioned working group. As at 30.09.2025, the upside scenario had a 5% weighting, the base scenario had a 85% weighting, the adverse scenario had a 7,5% weighting, and the stress scenario had a weighting of 2,5%. The weighting is the same for all portfolios and reflects the uncertainty associated with economic developments going forward. In order to illustrate the associated weight sensitivity, a simulation of the effects of a more conservative scenario weighting was conducted in which the weight of the update scenario is unchanged at 5%, base scenario was reduced to 75%, the adverse scenario werer increased to 10,0% and the stress scenario were increased to 10,0% . Such a change in the scenario weighting would, all else equal, increase the group's expected impairment losses for commitments without individual impairment by NOK 236 million.

Closely monitoring customers and prevention work are important measures actively employed by the group to maintain its good risk profile in the group's loan portfolio.
The fair value of derivatives is determined using valuation methods where the price of the underlying instrument, for example, interest rate or currency rate, is obtained from the market. When measuring financial instruments for which observable market data is not available, the group makes assumptions regarding what market actors would base their valuation on for equivalent financial instruments. Valuations require extensive use of discretion, including when calculating liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Any change in the aforementioned factors will affect the fair value determined for the group's financial instruments. For more information see note 25 on the classification of financial instruments in the annual financial statements for 2024. In the case of options, volatility will be either observed implicit volatility or calculated volatility based on historical price movements for the underlying object.
Furthermore, several measures have been implemented to secure the bank's IT infrastructure and to prevent potential cyber-attacks on the most critical systems and processes.
The group's assessments of critical estimates and judgements regarding its use of accounting policies are challenging but are currently considered to be the best estimate

The bank's framework for managing liquidity risk shall reflect the bank's conservative risk profile. The board has adopted internal limits such that the bank has as balanced a maturity structure for its borrowing as possible. Stress testing is conducted for the various terms of maturity for bank-specific crises, system crises and combinations of these. A contingency plan has also been put in place to manage liquidity crises. The average remaining term to maturity in the portfolio of senior bond funding and covered bonds was 3.5 years at the end of the third quarter of 2025. The total LCR was 148% at the end of the thid quarter, and the average total LCR was 169% in the quarter. The LCR in NOK and EUR at the end of the quarter was 126% and 215%, respectively.
