Notes to the condensed interim financial statements 30 September 2025

1. General information

Optima Bank S.A. arose from the renaming of INVESTMENT BANK OF GREECE S.A.

The Bank provides a wide range of banking and brokerage services as well as investment banking services. It operates in accordance with the provisions of Law 4261/2014 and Law 4548/2014, as in force, under the supervision of the Bank of Greece, while being a member of the Athens Exchange and the Cyprus Stock Exchange. As of 30/9/2025 the Group employed 610 persons in total, while its registered office is located in the Municipality of Maroussi, Attica (32 Aigialeias St.)

The branches operating in Greece amount to 30.

The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of 30/9/2025, have been approved by the Board of Directors on 10/11/2025.

2. Material accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The Group prepared the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of 30/9/2025 in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union, which should be read in combination with the annual financial statements of the Group for the fiscal year ending on 31/12/2024.

The accounting principles followed by the Group for the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those described in the published financial statements for the year ended 31/12/2024. Also, the amendments to standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), adopted by the European Union and applied from 1/1/2025 should be taken into account as detailed in note 2.3.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets and liabilities (including derivative financial instruments and carbon emission rights) which are measured at fair value, and on the going concern basis.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates and the exercise of judgment by Management in the process of applying the accounting principles.

The amounts are presented in Euros, rounded to the nearest thousand (unless otherwise stated) to facilitate their presentation.

2.2 Going concern

The interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2025 have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The Board of Directors has concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could raise significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of the Interim Financial Statements.

More specifically, the Board took into consideration:

  • The Greek economy's continued growth, despite existing macroeconomic risks (United States trade policy, war in Ukraine, tensions in the Middle East) mainly due to reliable fiscal policy and productive investments. Greece's inflation in the first nine months of 2025 declined compared to the corresponding period last year, the unemployment rate continues its downward trend and the state budget shows increased surpluses.
  • The Group's ability to generate increasing profits. Specifically, during the first nine months of 2025, the Group's net profits amounted to Eur 123.4 million compared to Eur 108.2 million in the corresponding period of 2024, showing an increase of 14.02%. Furthermore, on 30/9/2025, the cost to income ratio (Cost to Income) amounted to 22.9% and the return on equity ratio (ROTE) to 25.3% - continuing to be consistently higher than the industry.
  • Maintaining the Group's liquidity at high levels, by maintaining a high-quality liquid assets buffer. Specifically , the Group's Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) as of 30/9/2025 amounted to 227.45% and 135.97% respectively, well above the minimum regulatory threshold of 100%.
  • The successful completion, on 25/6/2025, of the issuance of Eur 150 million Tier 2 unsecured subordinated notes within the framework of a medium-term issuance (EMTN) program of a total amount of Eur 500 million , which resulted in the strengthening of the Bank's capital position and capital adequacy ratios.

2.3 New Standards, standard amendments and interpretations

The amendments to standards that were applied from 1/1/2025 are listed below:

Amendment to International Accounting Standard 21 "Lack of Exchangeability": The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

Applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1/1/2025.

The above amendment is not expected to have an impact on the Group's financial statements.

Additionally, the International Accounting Standards Board has issued the following standards and amendments to standards, which have not yet been adopted by the European Union and have not been early applied by the Group.

Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 9 and International Financial Reporting Standard 7 "Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments": Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities and settlement date.

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1/1/2026.

The above amendment is not expected to have an impact on the Group's financial statements.

Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 9 and International Financial Reporting Standard 7 "Contracts Referring to Nature-Dependent Electricity": Under which conditions can a contract for renewable electricity dependent on the natural environment be defined as a hedging instrument.

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1/1/2026.

The Group will assess whether the above amendment will have an impact on the financial statements of the Group.

New International Financial Reporting Standard 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements": Classification of income and expenses in the Financial Statements.

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1/1/2027.

The Group is assessing the impact it will have on the presentation of the financial statements of the Group.

New International Financial Reporting Standard 19 "Non-Publicly Accountable Subsidiaries":

Disclosures by Non-Publicly Accountable Subsidiaries

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1/1/2027.

The above amendment is not expected to have an impact on the Group's financial statements.

2.4 Accounting estimates and assumptions in the application of accounting policies

In preparing the Interim Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2025, Management has applied accounting estimates and assumptions consistent with those disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024. The key sources of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments that may affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date remain unchanged, and continue to reflect Management's best assessment based on the prevailing economic conditions and available information.

3. Financial Risk Management

3.1 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss due to the potential inability or unwillingness of a counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations, resulting in the loss of capital and profit. Credit risk management focuses on ensuring a disciplined culture, transparency and rational risk-taking, based on recognised international practices.

Credit risk management methodologies are adjusted to reflect the economic environment at each time. The various methods used are annually reviewed, or whenever necessary, and are adjusted according to the Group's strategy and its short-term and long-term goals of the Group.

3.2 Liquidity Risk

The Group monitors and manages the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Fixed Funding Ratio (NSFR) in order to comply with the requirements of the regulatory framework.

The table below shows the relevant ratios.

Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) NSFR>100% 135.97% NSFR>100% 127.11%

3.3 Capital Adequacy

The Group is subject to the supervision of the Bank of Greece, which sets and monitors the Group's capital adequacy requirements.

For the calculation of capital adequacy, the supervisory framework is applied, which was incorporated into European Union (EU) legislation with the adoption of Regulation (EU) 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council ("CRR") on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment companies, as amended and in force, as well as Directive 2013/36 (Capital Requirements Directive-CRD IV) and in Greek legislation by Law 4261/2014, as amended and in force.

According to this (Article 92(1) of Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013), the minimum capital adequacy ratios that each credit institution must comply with are the following:

  • minimum Common Equity Tier 1-CET1 capital ratio of 4.5%,
  • minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 6%,
  • and minimum total capital ratio (TCR) of 8%.

Under Pillar I, the Capital Adequacy Ratio is calculated as the ratio of regulatory own funds to total riskweighted assets relating to credit, operational and market risk and is related to internal and external asset items at an individual and consolidated level.

In March 2025, by decision of the Bank of Greece's Credit and Insurance Committee ("Determination of supervisory requirements for the credit institution "Optima Bank S.A.", based on the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Procedure (SREP)"), the Bank is required to maintain on an individual and consolidated basis a total SREP capital requirement (TSCR) of 11.06% and an overall capital requirement (Overall Capital Ratio - OCR) of 13.56%.

In the same decision, the direction to the Group and the Bank to maintain additional capital of 0.50%, in addition to the total capital requirements of the SREP and the capital conservation reserves, as Pillar 2 Capital Guidance, which will be covered by Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital.

The total capital requirements on an individual and consolidated basis are detailed in the table below:

Total Capital
Total Capital Requirements (%)
Minimum Total Capital Ratio 8.00%
Additional Pillar II Own Funds Requirements (P2R) 3.06%
Total Capital Requirements EDEA (TSCR) 11.06%
(Capital Conservation Buffer - CCB) 2.50%
Overall Capital Requirements (OCR) 13.56%
Pillar 2 Guidance – P2G 0.50%
Overall Capital Requirements (OCR) & Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G) – (TRCR) 14.06%

More specifically, compliance with SREP's overall capital requirements includes:

  • The total capital requirements of Pillar I amounting to 8% which should be satisfied at all times in accordance with article 92 paragraph 1 of Regulation (EU) no. 575/2013
  • The additional capital requirements of Pillar II (P2R) amounting to 3.06% in the context of the implementation of the provisions of article 96A paragraph 1 (a) of Law 4261/2014
  • The capital requirement to maintain a capital conservation buffer (CCB) of 2.5% in accordance with article 122 of Law 4261/2014.
  • The direction in terms of additional Equity (Pillar 2 Capital Guidance) of maintaining an amount of 0.5% plus SREP's total capital requirements and safety reserves.

The Capital Adequacy ratio of the Group on 30/9/2025 and 31/12/2024 was structured as follows:

(1) The amounts have been calculated by including the profits of the period, incorporating a dividend distribution provision.

4. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

4.1 Financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value

The fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be replaced, or a liability settled, through an orderly transaction on the main or most advantageous market on the date of the measurement and under current market conditions (exit price). Differences may arise between the carrying amount and the fair value of financial assets of the statement of financial position and liabilities. At fair value are not measured:

(a) Due from banks

Due from other banks mainly include short-term interbank placements as well as other receivables such as loans to credit institutions.

The vast majority of placements mature within one month and therefore their fair value closely approximates their carrying amount.

(b) Loans and advances to customers

Loans to customers are presented after deducting the provision for impairment and most of the above are charged at a floating rate.

(c) Debt securities at amortised cost

Debt securities at amortised cost include bonds that are intended to be held to maturity for the purpose of collecting principal and interest.

(d) Due to customers

The fair value of deposits without fixed maturity (savings and sight) is the amount that the Group should repay upon whenever requested by the customer. Their fair value is equal to their carrying amount.

(e) Debt securities in issue and other borrowed funds

Liabilities from debt securities in issue and other borrowed funds include the subordinated bond (Tier II) issued by the Bank under the EMTN program, the fair value of which is determined by the stock exchange price.

4.2 Fair Value Hierarchy

IFRS 13 defines the valuation and control procedures regarding the objectivity of the data used by these models. The observable data are based on active markets and derived from independent sources, while nonobservable data refers to the Management assumptions and valuation models. These two methods for retrieving information generate the following hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or financial liabilities. This level includes listed shares, debt securities and listed derivatives.

Level 2 - Includes inputs other than the quoted prices included in Level 1. For similar financial asset or financial liability, for prices from inactive markets and data which are available in the market and can be used in calculating the value of the financial asset or financial liability. This level includes the majority of over-the-

counter (OTC) derivative contracts and various debt securities, the value of which is determined by valuation models, discounted cash flows and similar techniques using data related to the prices of the underlying securities, their volatility as well as interest rate curves such as ESTR and SOFR.

Level 3 – Includes inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The Group adjusts the unobservable inputs according to the best possible information at its disposal and using in its assessment assumptions that would be used by market participants for the valuation of the financial asset or financial liability. This level includes capital investment and loan funds that are not traded in an active market, and there are no similar products that are traded. The valuation is based on data, observations and assumptions that require significant judgment from the Management.

Level 3 includes a bond from loan securitization which is calculated at fair value using the income approach method through the application of the discounted cash flow method. Its valuation depends on unobservable values which include future revenues, operating expenses and discount rates. The fair value of the bond from loan securitization held by the Group on 30/9/2025 was Eur 23,720 thousand and on 31/12/2024 Eur 26,080 thousand. Additionally, Level 3 includes a bond measured at fair value, amounting to Eur 10,098 thousand, which concerns a financial instrument that constitutes additional tier 1 capital (AT1), the fair value of which is estimated based on unobservable data.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the above financial instruments on September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Due from banks: The fair value of due from banks approximates their carrying amount and is calculated using discounted cash flow models. Discount rates incorporate interest rate curves taking into account market data, expected credit risk and specific Bank/customer parameters.

Loans and advances to customers at amortized cost: Fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow models. Discount rates incorporate interest rate curves taking into account market data, expected credit risk and specific Bank/customer parameters.

Debt securities at amortized cost: Fair value is calculated with prices traded in the market.

Debt securities in issue and other borrowed funds: The fair value of the subordinated bond (Tier II) issued by the Bank on June 25, 2025, is determined based on the price on the Luxembourg stock exchange.

b) Contingent tax liabilities

For the fiscal years 2011 to 2016, the Greek entities of the Group were subject to mandatory tax audits conducted by statutory auditors, in accordance with Law 4174/2013 (Article 65A, as currently in force, and previously under Article 82 of Law 2238/1994). As of the fiscal year 2016, the issuance of the Tax Certificate became optional. Nevertheless, management has opted to continue this practice for the company and its domestic subsidiaries, aiming to ensure a high level of tax compliance.

The Bank has been audited by independent auditors (Deloitte S.A.) for the fiscal years 2017 through 2023, with the corresponding Tax Certificate issued without qualifications or findings. The tax audit for the fiscal year 2024 is currently in progress and is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In accordance with the new Tax Procedure Code (Law 5104/2024), the Tax Administration retains the right to conduct audits within the statutory limitation periods. As of September 30, 2024, the State's right to issue corrective tax assessment acts has lapsed for fiscal years up to and including 2019. For subsequent fiscal years, even in cases where an unqualified Tax Certificate has been issued, the competent authorities retain the right to perform regular tax audits, pursuant to POL.1006/2016.
