Letter from the CEO
Dear Shareholders,
The first quarter of 2026 confirmed the direction we set out on over the past almost two years. Having established Nordic Financials as a debt-free, capital-light and agile investment company, our focus has shifted firmly towards building and developing a concentrated portfolio of high-quality positions.
During the quarter we remained active across a broad range of opportunities. Consistent with our communicated strategy, we continuously screen the market and participate in a number of smaller investments and transactions; while these are individually of limited size and are not detailed here, they form an integral part of how we deploy capital and develop our pipeline. Against this backdrop, two larger positions now anchor the portfolio and warrant particular attention: our holdings in Gold Road and in Heder Bank.
Gold Road remains a strategic, long-term position and one we regard as a core holding. The company owns and operates a producing gold mine in the historic Oatman mining district in Arizona, which resumed production in 2025, and is led by an experienced, international board and management team with a strong Norwegian anchoring. The company has indicated that it is preparing for a potential stock-exchange listing, which we would expect to provide a clearer market reference point for a position we entered at what we consider attractive levels. We continue to view the holding as well supported by the broader macroeconomic backdrop and the outlook for precious metals.
In the interest of full transparency, we note that the Chairman of Nordic Financials holds an executive role in Gold Road. He was appointed after our investment. Going forward, this is a related-party matter, and the Board will handle the investment accordingly.
Our position in Heder Bank, taken in April, is at an earlier stage in terms of when we expect its value to be realised, but developments during the period have strengthened our conviction. In its most recent capital raise, the bank secured a financially strong new principal shareholder in EGD Holding, the investment company of Espen Galtung Døsvig, which also recently acquired the asset-management business Argentum from the Norwegian state.
We regard the arrival of a long-term, well-capitalised anchor owner of this calibre as both a positive and an important development for Heder Bank, strengthening the company's financial robustness and credibility as it develops. The bank has also communicated plans to pursue a stock-exchange listing during the year. As with all positions of this nature, we will provide further updates as matters progress and as it becomes appropriate to do so.
Taken together, these two positions — supported by our ongoing, smaller-scale activity — reflect the strategy we have set out: concentrating capital in a small number of situations where we believe the combination of quality, structure and timing can deliver meaningful long-term returns, while continuously cultivating a wider pipeline. We remain debt-free, cost-conscious and committed to a lean operating model whose full financial benefit we expect to materialise through 2026.
As we have consistently communicated, Nordic Financials remains a relatively small participant in a large and competitive market, and our ambitions extend well beyond our current scale. The opportunities we are evaluating reinforce our view that increased financial capacity would allow us to
Nordic Financials ASA Q1 report 2026

act on a wider set of attractive situations, and we will continue to pursue this with discipline and with the support of our shareholders.
Best regards,
Halldor Christen Tjoflaat
CEO

Operational development
Nordic Financials ASA has used Q1 2026 to continue our investment activity and to develop and research for further development. Substantial effort has been put in to achieve results, and the group is now in position to both move on with investment activities and next steps to develop the company and its capital base further.
Financial development
During the quarter the group has had income from our investment activities. They are still limited as we are in the phase of ramping this up.
Risks and uncertainties
The risk and uncertainties are at acceptable levels through Q1. Funding aspects and need for growth in capital base would still be purposeful. However, from a risk perspective we believe the risk to be more concentrated towards rational and profitable investments. Overall, the total number of uncertainties and perceived risk should be at the same level as the previous quarter.
Forward-looking statement
This report contains statements regarding the future in connection with the growth initiatives, profit figures, outlook, strategies and objectives. In particular, the section "Outlook" contains forward-looking statements regarding future expectations. All statements regarding the future are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, and many factors can lead to actual results and developments deviating substantially from what has been expressed or implied in such statements. These factors include the risk factors related to the group's activities as described in the above section "Risks and Uncertainties".
Outlook
The group is currently pursuing several investment opportunities. Nordic Financials remains optimistic regarding our deal flow and access to capital.
