Outlook for 2025

The second quarter of the year has had a turbulent start, and the environment is expected to remain uncertain and difficult to predict in 2025, with widening geopolitical risks and concerns about the sustainability of economic growth adding to market uncertainty. Global tariffs imposed by the U.S., followed by counter-tariffs imposed by the rest of the world, have increased fears of a global trade war. If this were to materialize, it would lower growth forecasts across the board and accelerate inflation. Due to the uncertain market environment, stock market volatility has increased, and market values have fallen. If investor confidence deteriorates further and market values continue to decline, it will have a negative impact on Evli's fee income and the return on its own investment portfolio.

Despite the challenging operating environment, Evli has succeeded in strengthening its position in the market. Growth has been supported by a wide product range and customer base. With a strong market position and growth outlook, we estimate the operating result to be clearly positive.

CEO MAUNU LEHTIMÄKI

The year 2025 began under exceptionally uncertain circumstances. The tariffs imposed by the United States cast dark clouds over the global economy. Forecasts regarding the impact of tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, and other potential trade restrictions on global trade, economic growth, private consumption, and inflation expectations are clearly negative. Should the worst-case scenario materialize, the U.S. could simultaneously face a recession and rising consumer prices, leading to stagflation. For all the U.S.'s significant trading partners – Mexico, Canada, South Korea, Japan as well as the European Union, and the United Kingdom – the U.S. import tariffs are detrimental and growth-slowing.

Even without the tariffs, indicators of the U.S. economy's state were weaker than expected at the beginning of the year. Consumer confidence fell to its lowest level in 12 years, the housing market deteriorated, and industrial production showed signs of slowing. Uncertainty was also brought to the economy by the numerous executive orders announced by President Donald Trump at a rapid pace in the early part of the year, resulting in cuts to funding across several sectors, reductions in public positions, and layoffs of civil servants.

In Europe, attention was focused on the U.S. administration's policies regarding support for Ukraine and its continuation, the initiated peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, the long-term security environment in Europe, and the development of transatlantic defense cooperation. Concerns arose in Europe about the U.S.'s commitment to European defense, prompting decisions between the EU and the United Kingdom to significantly increase defense investments in the coming years. This was reflected in strong share price increases among European defense sector companies. Many investors also revisited their responsibility criteria, as arms manufacturers have traditionally been excluded from investment portfolios. However, due to Russia's attack on Ukraine, arms manufacturers are increasingly being viewed as essential from the perspective of defending democracy, individual freedom, and peace.

During the first quarter, returns in the capital markets were strong in Europe, with equities delivering approximately five percent returns as measured by the STOXX 600 index. Returns on eurodenominated fixed-income investments were also slightly positive. European equities performed particularly well compared to U.S. equities, with the return differential for the quarter reaching historically high levels. The U.S. S&P 500 index declined by nearly five percent during the review period, and the technology-heavy NASDAQ composite index fell by as much as ten percent. Large technology companies, the so-called "Magnificent Seven," declined even more, with share price drops ranging between 10 and 40 percent. Last year's major winners, such as Nvidia, driven by the artificial intelligence boom, and Tesla, which focuses on electric vehicles and autonomous mobility, were under particularly strong pressure.

Amid heightened uncertainty and volatile stock prices, gold strengthened to a new record high, while the U.S. trade-weighted dollar weakened. The euro appreciated approximately 4.5 percent against the dollar since the turn of the year.

Evli Group's net revenue, after eliminating the impact from the corporate transaction, increased by seven percent compared to the comparison period, rising to EUR 27.7 million (EUR 25.8 million). The best development was seen in traditional and private equity fund fees, advisory fees, and brokerage revenues, which grew significantly compared to the previous year. Returns from the Group's own balance sheet items were also higher than in the previous year. Unadjusted net revenue decreased by 35 percent in the first quarter compared to the previous year, amounting to EUR 27.7 million (EUR 42.9 million). The comparability of the net revenue is impacted by the corporate transaction completed last year, in which the incentive business became an associated company of the Group and is therefore no longer included in the revenue figures during the review period.

Evli Group's net revenue, after eliminating the impact from the corporate transaction, increased by seven percent compared to the comparison period, rising to EUR 27.7 million (EUR 25.8 million). The best development was seen in traditional and private equity fund fees, advisory fees, and brokerage revenues, which grew significantly compared to the previous year.

The Group's operating profit for the first quarter, after eliminating the impact from the corporate transaction, increased by 15 percent to EUR 11.4 million (EUR 10.0 million). Unadjusted operating profit decreased by 55 percent to EUR 11.4 million (EUR 25.1 million). The comparability of operating profit is impacted by the corporate transaction completed last year, which included a nearly EUR 14 million valuation gain recorded during the comparison period. Additionally, the comparison period included significantly higher performance fees than the review period. Evli's return on equity for the quarter was 28.0 percent (38.5%), and the ratio of recurring revenues to operational costs was 130 percent (125%). The Group's solvency and liquidity remained at an excellent level.

The net revenue of the Wealth Management and Investor Clients segment declined by two percent in the first quarter, totaling EUR 22.8 million (EUR 23.3 million). Assets under management increased to EUR 19.0 billion (EUR 18.5 billion), driven by positive market performance and net subscriptions.

Evli Fund Management Company's mutual fund capital, including alternative investment funds, amounted to approximately EUR 13.8 billion (EUR 13.4 billion). Net subscriptions in traditional mutual funds during the first quarter were approximately EUR 262 million. The largest net subscriptions during the quarter were directed to Evli's long-term fixed income funds, while equity funds and the money market fund Evli Liquidity saw net redemptions.

The net revenue of the Advisory and Corporate Clients segment decreased by 43 percent in the first quarter, amounting to EUR 2.8 million (EUR 5.0 million). The decline in revenue is due to the corporate transaction completed last year, in which the incentive business became an associated company of the Group and is no longer part of segment reporting. Advisory fees related to corporate transactions increased compared to the same period last year. The unit's mandate base remains strong, and the corporate transaction market has been reasonably active in early 2025.

Evli's strategically important areas, international sales and alternative investment products, developed positively during the quarter. Net subscriptions from international clients amounted to approximately EUR 94 million, and the share of international clients in Evli's total fund capital, including alternative investment products, increased to 21 percent (18%). Net subscriptions and investment commitments in alternative investment products during the quarter totaled approximately EUR 70 million (EUR 45 million).

In terms of sustainability, Evli published its Corporate Responsibility Report as part of the Annual Report 2024, which for the first time followed the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. As part of the Annual Report, Evli also published the first Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures report, which describes the nature-related risks, opportunities, dependencies and impacts of Evli's investments. Furthermore, Evli continued its work as an active member of the Nature Action 100 investor initiative, which aims to engage with 100 companies significant to biodiversity and nature loss and encourage them to take more ambitious measures to halt nature loss.

In 2025, Evli celebrates its 40th anniversary. Our journey has been shaped by innovation, resilience, and a focus on building lasting relationships with our stakeholders. We are committed to providing excellent asset management in the future as well.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

The first quarter of 2025 was marked by significant uncertainty in global financial markets due to geopolitical tensions, changing trade policies and regional economic trends. Trade tensions between the U.S. and its major trading partners intensified during the first quarter as a result of tariffs imposed by the U.S. The rapprochement between the U.S. and Russia as well as the statements made by American decision-makers about Europe eroded trust in the common security policy of Europe and the U.S., leading European countries to rapidly announce increases in their defense spending. Political uncertainty, declining consumer confidence and the trend of deglobalization have contributed to weakening global growth prospects and making the operating environment even more challenging.

Emerging markets, particularly China and Korea, experienced significant market increases, supported by AI developments and relatively low valuation levels. On the other hand, of the developed markets, Japan and the U.S. suffered significant declines. In Japan, the market declined by 3.4 percent, reflecting significant economic challenges. In the U.S., the S&P 500 index fell 4.3 percent, the worst quarterly performance since 2022, when the "Trump deal" unraveled and technology stocks fell as a result of stretched valuation levels. At the same time, the European market developed in the opposite direction, with the STOXX index rising by 5.8 percent, driven by demand in the defense industry and fiscal stimulus. Correspondingly, Nasdaq Helsinki rose 6.0 percent in the first quarter. However, as we approached the end of the quarter, the indices also declined in Europe as the debate on tariffs intensified and the threat of a global trade war increased.

During the first quarter, monetary policy again played a key role in investment market developments. The European Central Bank accelerated interest rate cuts in response to the slowdown in inflation with the aim of boosting economic growth. In contrast, the Federal Reserve kept its key interest rate at 4.25–4.50 percent, emphasizing a fact-based approach amid tariff uncertainty. The value of corporate bonds with a higher credit rating remained stable during the review period, while the value of High Yield bonds with a lower credit rating increased slightly, by 0.6 percent. By contrast, the values of euro area government bonds fell by 1.2 percent. The exchange rate of the euro rose by 4.5 percent against the dollar.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT 1–3/2025

DEVELOPMENT OF REVENUE AND RESULT

Evli Group's pro forma net revenue, after eliminating the impact from the corporate transaction, increased by seven percent compared to the comparison period, rising to EUR 27.7 million (EUR 25.8 million). Unadjusted net revenue decreased by 35 percent from the comparison period's level to EUR 27.7 million (EUR 42.9 million). Net revenue for the comparison period included a non-cash valuation item of EUR 13.8 million related to the restructuring of the incentive business. Successful new sales in both business segments and positive returns on the company's own balance sheet contributed to growth in net revenue. Performance-related fees from investment funds during the review period amounted to EUR 0.3 million (EUR 2.7 million). The Group's net commission income decreased by approximately nine percent from the comparison period to EUR 25.5 million (EUR 28.2 million). The growth figures are burdened by the lack of income from the incentive business. Income from own investments amounted to EUR 1.2 million (EUR 0.3 million), including income from securities trading, foreign exchange brokerage and net interest income.

Total costs for the review period, including depreciation and impairment, amounted to EUR 16.3 million (EUR 17.9 million). When comparing the figures the effect of the arrangement of the incentive business should be considered. Personnel expenses amounted to EUR 9.7 million (EUR 10.5 million), including an estimate of performance-based bonuses directed at personnel. Other administrative expenses amounted to EUR 5.7 million (EUR 6.2 million). Depreciation, amortization and impairment amounted to EUR 0.9 million (EUR 1.1 million) and other operating expenses to EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.2 million). The share of profit of associates was EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.0 million). Evli's cost-income ratio was 0.59 (0.4).

The pro forma operating profit, adjusted for the effects of the corporate transaction, increased by 15 percent to EUR 11.4 million (EUR 10.0 million). Unadjusted operating profit decreased by some 55 percent year-on-year and was EUR 11.4 million (EUR 25.1 million). Operating profit margin was 41.2 percent (58.4%). The profit for the period under review was EUR 9.0 million (EUR 23.1 million).

Evli presents the impact on profit arising from the valuation of Alisa Bank Plc's investment as a separate item in other comprehensive income statement in accordance with IFRS 9. During the review period, the change in the value of the investment was EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.2 million), taking deferred tax into account.

DEVELOPMENT OF COMISSION INCOME

Q1/2025 Q1/2024

BUSINESS AREAS: WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND INVESTOR CLIENTS

The Wealth Management and Investor Clients segment offers services to present and future high net worth private individuals and institutions. The comprehensive product and service selection includes asset management services, fund products offered by Evli and its partners, various capital market services and alternative investment products. The segment also includes execution and operations activities that directly support these core activities.

Development of client assets under management

Client assets under management consist of direct investments in mutual funds, discretionary asset management, and assets managed through Evli's subsidiaries and associated companies.

Client assets under management increased from the comparison period's level driven by new sales. At the end of March, the Group's total net assets under management stood at EUR 19.0 billion (EUR 18.5 billion).

At the end of March, assets under discretionary management amounted to EUR 6.2 billion (EUR 6.0 billion). Correspondingly, direct investments in Evli's traditional mutual funds totaled EUR 7.5 billion (EUR 7.8 billion) at the end of the review period. The assets under management of alternative investment funds amounted to EUR 2.9 billion (EUR 2.6 billion). Assets managed through associated companies were EUR 2.3 billion (EUR 2.3 billion).

Discretionary asset management

Assets under management increased from the level of the comparison period as a result of successful portfolio management. At the end of the review period, Evli had approximately EUR 6.2 billion (EUR 6.0 billion) in assets under discretionary asset management, which includes both traditional and digital services.

Traditional mutual funds

In January–March 2025, mutual funds' net subscriptions amounted to approximately EUR 262 million (EUR 250 million). According to Evli's strategy, the goal is to increase the international sales of its investment products. In the review period, net subscriptions from foreign investors were EUR 94 million (EUR -30 million).

The majority of the returns of Evli's fixed income funds developed positively during the review period. Compared to the benchmark index, the best returns were generated by the Evli Nordic Corporate Bond and Evli Euro Liquidity funds. The returns of Evli's equity funds were twofold during the review period. For example, the Evli Hannibal and Evli Silver and Gold funds returned more than 25 percent during the first quarter, while the return of the Evli North America fund was almost -13 percent negative. Of equity funds, the best returns relative to the benchmark index were generated by the Evli Hannibal and Evli Impact Equity funds.

The total capital of traditional investment funds managed by the fund management company was EUR 10.9 billion (EUR 10.6 billion). Of this, around EUR 3.5 billion was invested in equity funds (EUR 3.8 billion), EUR 7.1 billion in fixed income funds (EUR 6.6 billion) and EUR 0.2 billion in mixed funds (EUR 0.2 billion). At the end of March, EUR 2.9 billion of Evli's fund capital came from customers outside of Finland (EUR 2.4 billion) when direct fund investments are considered.

During the review period, 32 percent of Evli's traditional investment funds performed better than their benchmark index. In a three-year review, 30 percent of mutual funds outperformed the benchmark index. In Morningstar's quality ranking, Evli was the best fund house in Finland at the end of the period with 3.97 stars.

Responsibility is a central part to Evli's asset management. At the end of the review period, the average ESG rating of Evli's funds was "A" (source: MSCI ESG database).

DEVELOPMENT OF FUND CAPITAL (BN.€)

NET SALES BY FUND TYPE (M€)

Alternative investment funds

The current market environment is challenging for the sale of alternative investment funds. In the domestic real estate sector, transaction volumes are exceptionally low, which makes it difficult for real estate funds to operate. In addition, global private equity funds have refrained from paying out and returning profits, which has made it more difficult for customers to make new investments. Considering the market situation, sales and product development in this asset class performed relatively well during the review period.

During the first quarter of the year, net subscriptions and investment commitments totaled approximately EUR 70 million (EUR 45 million). Most of the investment commitments were directed at the Evli Private Equity fund, through which clients have unique access to first-class buyout funds. Evli Private Equity IV raised approximately EUR 49 million and Evli Private Capital EUR 21 million in investment commitments during the first quarter of the year.

Due to the challenging operating environment, Evli has exceptionally had to postpone the payment date of the redemptions of the Evli Rental Yield II fund in June and December 2024 in accordance with the fund's rules. As per March 31, 2025, the payment date for the redemptions in question, totaling approximately EUR 11 million, was not yet decided. Evli's other real estate funds operated normally during the review period.

Other investment products

During the review period, demand for direct investment products developed favorably. During the review period, brokerage fees increased in almost all asset classes from the levels of the comparison

Financial performance

In January-March, the Wealth Management and Investor Clients segment's net revenue decreased by two percent year-on-year due to lower performance-related fees than in the comparison period. The development of net revenue was positively impacted by successful new sales and portfolio management as well as increased commission income. The operating profit improved compared to the comparison period, being EUR 10.1 million (EUR 9.6 million).

BUSINESS AREAS: ADVISORY AND CORPORATE CLIENTS

The Advisory and Corporate Clients segment provides corporate and equity services, such as advisory services related to acquisitions and divestments, listings and share issues. In addition, the segment provides company analysis for listed companies. In the comparison period, the segment also included the planning and management services of remuneration and incentive schemes. As a result of the corporate arrangement related to the incentive business carried out on March 27, 2024, these services are reported as part of the result of the associated companies in Group functions, similarly to other associated companies.

M&A transactions

The M&A market developed exceptionally well during the first quarter. Despite the volatility in the market, customer activity remained high, and several transactions were successfully completed. The successful IPO in the review period was particularly positive. The mandate base is still at a good level, but the level of risk in terms of order execution has increased due to market uncertainty.

During the first quarter, Evli acted as advisor in the following transactions:

  • Lead Manager in the IPO of Nokian Panimo
  • Ambea's acquisition of Validia
  • Sale of Absorbest to Ceder Capital
  • Kingspan's recommended public offer of Nordic Waterproofing.

Financial performance

In January-March, the Advisory and Corporate Clients segment's net revenue decreased by 43 percent from the comparison period and was EUR 2.8 million (EUR 5.0 million). The decrease is due to the removal of commission fees from the incentive business as a result of the corporate restructuring carried out in 2024. Significant fluctuations in revenue from one quarter to the next are typical of the segment's M&A activities.

GROUP OPERATIONS

The Group Operations segment includes support functions serving the business areas, such as Information Management, Financial Administration, Marketing, Communications and Investor Relations, Human Resources, and Internal Services. The company's own investment operations and the Group's supervisory functions (Legal and Compliance, Risk Management, and Internal Audit) are also part of Group Operations. In addition, the Group's associated companies are reported as part of Group functions.

Development of associated companies

Evli has two significant associated companies, Allshares, which specializes on compensation solutions, and Northern Horizon Capital, which specializes in real estate fund management. With the transaction completed in 2024, Bregal Milestone became the majority owner of Allshares. With the help of the new ownership structure and strengthened balance sheet, the company's business has been internationalize at a rapid pace, with the aim of building the company into a leading provider of incentive services globally. The favorable development of operations continued in the first quarter of the year.

For Northern Horizon Capital, business continued to be challenging during the first quarter of the year. The focus in the near future is on scaling the existing product portfolio, especially with regard to the company's flagship product, the Nordic Age Care fund. Northern Horizon Capital's assets under management totaled EUR 1.5 billion at the end of March.

Financial performance

In January-March, the Group Operations segment's net revenue decreased by 86 percent compared to the comparison period and was EUR 2.0 million (EUR 14.6 million). The decrease is explained by the EUR 13.8 million fair value change in Allshares shares recognized as income from the Allshares transaction in the comparison period. Allshares will be treated as an associated company in the future. Own balance sheet investment activities developed favorably during the period under review.

RESPONSIBILITY

Responsibility is one of Evli's strategic focus areas. Responsible operations create long-term value and keep us competitive in the changing global operating environment.

Responsible investing

In Wealth Management, the company's most significant business area, responsibility factors have been integrated as a systematic part of portfolio management. The investments made by Evli's mutual funds are monitored for possible breaches of standards. In addition, the asset management team works independently and together with other investors to engage with companies.

As part of its active ownership, Evli participated in 13 annual general meetings and engaged with 11 companies during the first quarter of 2025. Seven of the general meetings were participated by voting in advance and six by physically attending the meetings. Engagement was related to companies' climate targets and good governance. Evli also discussed responsibility themes with different stakeholders.

In addition to independent engagement work, Evli continued as an active investor participant in the Nature Action 100 initiative. The initiative engages with 100 companies in key sectors that are deemed to be systemically important regarding nature and biodiversity loss and focuses on driving greater corporate ambition and action to reduce nature loss. In the initiative, Evli is part of one engagement group, engaging with one Finnish company. Evli has also acted as a contact person for the engagement group to the company being engaged with.

During the first quarter, as part of its Annual Report 2024 Evli published for the first time a nature report according to the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework. In the report Evli reports on its investments' nature-related risks, opportunities, dependencies and impacts. The TNFD-reporting framework is largely based on the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework structure. Evli has published an annual TCFD-report since 2020. Both the nature and climate reports cover fours pillars: 1) governance 2) strategy 3) risk management, and 4) metrics and targets.

As part of the Annual Report 2024, Evli's Corporate Responsibility Report was also published, which for the first time followed the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

In the beginning of the year Evli's Head of Sustainability, Petra Hakamo, commenced her third term as member of Finsif's (Finland's Sustainable Investment Forum) Board of Directors for year 2025. Evli has been a signatory of Finsif since 2010.

Responsible employer

Evli is committed to creating responsible and high-quality work-life experiences for its employees and job applicants. Responsible working practices are based on Evli's values: entrepreneurship, valuable relationships, learning, and integrity. Fairness, which encompasses equality, non-discrimination, and diversity, is an integral part of responsibility. Each business unit is responsible for ensuring that responsibility issues are considered in the daily work and that all employees are implementing responsibility into practice.

During the first quarter of the year, Evli supported its employees' participation in different individual professional development trainings. In addition, Evli launched a new investment training program for its entire personnel and continued the Future Leaders training started at the beginning of 2024. Evli also published a new digital learning platform for courses required by the industry, among others.

Evli measured employee well-being and engagement through an anonymous employee survey, to which around 90 percent of Evli employees responded. The results are used to manage and develop well-being at work.

At the beginning of the year, the four trainees selected for Evli's spring Trainee Program started in different business units. During January, Evli also launched the application for the summer 2025 Trainee Program, for which Evli recruited five trainees.

DECISIONS TAKEN BY THE GENERAL MEETING

Evli Plc's Annual General Meeting (AGM) on March 18, 2025, approved the financial statements and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the company's CEO from liability for the financial year 2024.

The AGM decided in accordance with the Board's proposal that a dividend of EUR 1.18 per share will be paid for the financial year 2024. The dividend will be paid to shareholders who are entered in the shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy on the dividend record date on March 20, 2025. The dividend will be paid on March 27, 2025.

The AGM approved the Remuneration Report 2024 of the company's governing bodies.

Board of Directors and Auditor

The AGM decided that the Board consists of six (6) members. The present members of the Board Christina Dahlblom, Fredrik Hacklin, Sari Helander, Robert Ingman, and Tomi Närhinen were re-elected as members of the Board, and Niko Mokkila was elected as a new member of the Board.

It was decided that the remuneration of the Board members remains unchanged. EUR 5,000.00 per month will be paid to the members of the Board, EUR 6,000.00 per month will be paid to the Chairperson of the Board Committees and EUR 7,500.00 per month will be paid to the Chairperson of the Board.

The auditing firm Ernst & Young Oy (EY) was elected as the company's auditor and Miikka Hietala, Authorized Public Accountant, as the principally responsible auditor. EY was also elected to carry out the assurance of the company's sustainability reporting in accordance with the transitional provision of the act changing the Limited Liability Companies Act (1252/2023). The preparation and assurance of sustainability reporting are conditional on the existing regulation. The auditor will be paid remuneration according to a reasonable invoice approved by the company.

Authorizing the Board to decide on the acquisition of the company's own shares

The AGM authorized the Board to decide on the acquisition of the company's own series A and series B shares in one or more tranches as follows:

The total number of own series A shares to be acquired may be a maximum of 1,440,581 shares, and the total number of own series B shares to be acquired may be a maximum of 1,207,908 shares. The

proposed number of shares represents approximately 10 percent of all the shares of the company on the date of the notice convening the AGM.

Based on the authorization, the company's own shares may only be acquired with unrestricted equity.

The Board will decide how the company's own shares will be acquired. Financial instruments such as derivatives may be used in the acquirement. The company's own shares may be acquired in other proportion than the shareholders' proportional shareholdings (directed acquisition). Shares may be acquired through public trading at the prevailing market price formed for the series B shares in public trading on the Nasdaq Helsinki Oy on the date of acquisition.

The authorization will replace earlier unused authorizations to acquire the company's own shares. The authorization will be in force until the next AGM but no later than until June 30, 2026.

Authorizing the Board to decide on the issuance of shares as well as the issuance of options and other special rights entitling to shares

The AGM authorized the Board to decide on the issuance of shares and special rights entitling to shares pursuant to Chapter 10, section 1, of the Companies Act in one or more tranches, for a fee or free of charge.

Based on the authorization, the number of shares issued or transferred, including shares received based on special rights, may total a maximum of 2,648,489 series B shares. The proposed number of shares represents approximately 10 percent of all the shares of the company on the date of the notice convening the AGM. Of the above-mentioned total number, however, a maximum of 264,848 shares may be used as part of the company's share-based incentive schemes, representing approximately one percent of all the shares of the company on the date of the notice convening the AGM.

The authorization will entitle the Board to decide on all the terms and conditions related to the issuing of shares and special rights entitling to shares, including the right to deviate from the shareholders' preemptive subscription rights. The Board may decide to issue either new shares or any own shares in the possession of the company.

The authorization will replace earlier unused authorizations concerning the issuance of shares as well as the issuance of options and other special rights entitling to shares. The authorization is proposed to be in force until the end of the next AGM but no longer than until June 30, 2026.

The most significant risks for the Group in the near term are the general market development and the impact of the changing operating environment and inflation on Evli's businesses. The performance of the asset management business is mainly influenced by the development of assets under management, which depends on, among others, the development of capital markets and the general demand for investment products. On the other hand, alternative investment products in particular, are based on long-term agreements which provide a steady income stream. Profit development is also influenced by the realization of performance-related fee income linked to the successful management of client assets. Performance fees can vary widely from quarter to quarter and from financial year to financial year.

General market developments also have an impact on brokerage and advisory mandates. In the Corporate Finance business, potential changes in market confidence among investors and corporate managers may lead to project delays or interruptions.

In addition to its core business, Evli has granted investment loans to its clients, and owns equity and mutual fund investments. The most significant risks related to its own investment activities are liquidity, market, and interest rate risks. These risks are managed through limits set by Evli Plc's Board of Directors, which are monitored on an ongoing basis. The company's investments are made on the basis that they must not endanger the Group's results or solvency. Despite good supervision, investment activities always involve a certain degree of risk, which may result in significant quarterly fluctuations in the returns from investment activities.

A more detailed description of operational risks is provided in the financial statements of Evli Plc, available at evli.com/en/investors.

BUSINESS RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT EVENTS TAKING PLACE AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

There have been no material changes since the review period.

OUTLOOK FOR 2025

The second quarter of the year has had a turbulent start, and the environment is expected to remain uncertain and difficult to predict in 2025, with widening geopolitical risks and concerns about the sustainability of economic growth adding to market uncertainty. Global tariffs imposed by the U.S., followed by counter-tariffs imposed by the rest of the world, have increased fears of a global trade war. If this were to materialize, it would lower growth forecasts across the board and accelerate inflation. Due to the uncertain market environment, stock market volatility has increased, and market values have fallen. If investor confidence deteriorates further and market values continue to decline, it will have a negative impact on Evli's fee income and the return on its own investment portfolio.

Despite the challenging operating environment, Evli has succeeded in strengthening its position in the market. Growth has been supported by a wide product range and customer base. With a strong market position and growth outlook, we estimate the operating result to be clearly positive.

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. Derivatives in level 2 are forwards whose values are calculated with inputs like quoted interest rates and currency rates. 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 Evli.

Change in fair value of financial instruments that are valued in other comprehensive income

On April 2, 2022. Evli Plc was created as a result of a partial demerger. As part of the overall arrangement, Evli made a significant investment in another entity created by the arrangement, Fellow Bank Plc (Fellow Bank Plc is Alisa Bank Plc starting April 21, 2023). The investment is of a long-term nature and is not related to the Group's operational activities. For these reasons, the company presents the result of the valuation of the investment as a separate item in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS 9. The table below illustrates the impact of the revaluation on the Group's statement of comprehensive income for the period. The shares are included in other shares level 1.

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.

counterparties is primarily measured with statistical data based on the relative amount of problem receivables in the credit stock on a national level. For sales receivables, a simplified procedure is used. 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.

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 From 1.1. to 31.03.2025 there has been no changes to client credit levels. There are no loans overdue by 90 days. The expected credit losses are recognized in the profit and loss account.
