Carve-out interim financial information – Basis for presentation

Background

The Carve-out interim financial information has been prepared to be included in the prospectus that Evli Bank Plc will publish for the extraordinary shareholders meeting where the owners will decide about the planned demerger and to apply for the new Evli B- shares to be listed on Nasdaq Helsinki Stock Exchange.

The Board of Evli Bank Plc approved on the 30.9.2021 the demerger plan, according to which assets and liabilities related to Evli's asset management, custody, clearing, brokerage and corporate finance activities and the support functions for these mentioned businesses to be transferred to new Evli Plc which will be founded in the demerger.

Basis of presentation

The new Evli Carve-out interim financial information for the nine months interim period ended 30.9.2021 has been prepared by consolidating the financial information for other businesses and functions than those businesses that require a credit institution license from Evli Bank Plc group figures. These businesses are the above in the previous section mentioned businesses. Assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and cash flows for these businesses are presented in this Carve-out interim financial information. The interim Carve-out information also include revenues, costs, assets and liabilities in which Evli Bank Plc ("Carve-out parent entity") is the counterparty. The New Evli Group is not a subgroup to Evli Bank Plc and it has not previously prepared consolidated financial statements of its own for internal or external needs. The Board of Evli Bank Plc has approved the Carve-out interim financial information to be published on 7.12.2021.

These Carve-out interim financial information for the nine months period ended on the 30.9.2021 has been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 standard, as approved by the European Union. When preparing the Carve-out interim financial information, the basis for presentation applied for the Carve-out financial statements for the financial years ended 31.12.2020, 31.12.2019 and 31.12.2018, have also been applied to relevant parts in the Carve-out interim financial information. The information in the Carve-out interim financial information are unaudited.

The New Evli Carve-out interim financial information does not necessarily illustrate the financial position and financial performance which new Evli would have had if it would have been an independent Group and presented its figures as a separate group. The aim of the Carve-out information is not either to illustrate or estimate what the financial performance, financial position or cash flows are in the future.

The Carve-out interim financial information include allocated revenues, costs, assets, liabilities and cash flows that are based on management assessment, assumptions and estimates. The most material estimates, solutions based on assessment and assumptions are related to allocating group costs, cash management, financing allocations and invested equity. According to Evli's management the allocations in the Carve-out interim information are reasonable, but they do not necessarily illustrate the costs and revenues that would have incurred if New Evli would have been a separate unit and prepared its own consolidated financial statements. New Evli does not have other material business transactions with the Carve-out parent entity Evli Bank Plc than financing activities, common insurances, common support functions, common head quarter functions and shared premises.

The Carve-out interim financial information do not include all the information disclosed in annual Carve-out financial statements. This interim financial information should be read together with the financial statements.


Top management of the group do not regularly oversee the distribution of assets and liabilities to the different segments. That is why assets and liabilities are not divided by the operating segments. Group costs include the group costs allocation to the different segments. Group costs include top management costs, certain back-office services, risk management, finance administration, IT, marketing, communications and investor relations, legal and compliance, internal services and human resources. The accounting policies are consistent with the ones used in the Carve-out financial statements for the financial years ended 31.12.2020, 31.12.2019 and 31.12.2018.

Explanation of fair value hierarchies

Level 1
Fair values measured using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 2
Fair values measured using directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than those included in level 1.

Level 3
Fair values measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Level 1 of the hierarchy includes listed shares, mutual funds and derivatives listed on exchanges, and debt securities that are traded in active OTC- and public markets. Shares and participations classified in level 3 are usually instruments which are not publicly traded, like venture capital funds, real estate funds, equities and equity rights.

Derivative valuations for level 3 instruments contain inputs (volatility and dividend estimate) which are not directly observable in the market. The values are calculated with pricing models widely in use, like Black-Scholes. Valuations received from the counterparty of the OTC trade are classified as level 3 valuations. There is no significant change in the option fair values, if the volatility estimates are changed to publicly obtained historical volatilities.

Debt securities valuations that are obtained from markets that are not fully active, have a fair value level hierarchy of 2. Level 3 valuations for debt securities are valuations for illiquid securities that are received directly from the arranger of the issue, or the valuation is calculated by the company.

The assets are classified as Level 1 if the receivable is low risk or the credit risk of the receivable has not grown materially since the date of issuing the item. If the credit risk for a financial asset has increased materially since the issuing date, the asset will be transferred to level 2. Individual loans whose values have verifiably declined are recognized in level 3.

The expected credit loss is a probability-weighted calculation formula in which the parameters used are probability of default and the potential total loss when the receivable's collateral is realized. The parameters are generally measured on group levels, and financial assets are classified of assets with similar risks and collateral. The probability of default of counterparties is primarily measured with statistical data based on the relative amount of problem receivables in the credit stock on a national level. The Group has no assets in the 'measured at fair value through comprehensive income' group, and the debt securities are not valued at amortized cost.
