INTERIM REPORT Q2 2022

About Instabank ASA

Instabank is a Norwegian digital bank with offices in Oslo, Norway. Instabank ASA was granted a banking license by The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Finanstilsynet) on September 19th, 2016. On September 23rd, 2016, the bank opened for business.

Instabank is listed on Euronext Growth at Oslo Børs, ticker INSTA.

On 28th of Mars, Lunar Bank launched an offer to acquire all shares of Instabank and on 12th of April Lunar announced that the minimum 90% acceptance condition was met. As Instabank announced on the 29th of June, Lunar informed Instabank that it is looking increasingly difficult to be able to complete a transaction raising the necessary capital to meet the Norwegian FSA and the Danish FSA's requirements. On August 4 th , Instabank received information that Lunar's management deems it unlikely that Lunar will be able to raise the required capital and complete the regulatory approval process before the long-stop date for the offer of 30 September 2022.

Instabank notes that there are no conditions in Lunar's offer relating to Lunar's capitalization or any capital raise by Lunar. Instabank will continue to assess the situation and any steps to be taken to protect the interests of Instabank and its shareholders.

Instabank operates in Norway, Finland and Sweden, offering competitive savings, insurance, point of sales (POS) financing, credit cards, mortgages and unsecured loan products to consumers who qualify after a credit evaluation. Instabank also offers deposits in Germany through a partnership with Raisin Bank.

Our aim has always been to make the customer experience as smooth as possible. The ability to grasp opportunities and quickly implement changes is at the heart of our culture. The bank continues to evolving its business strategy in a rapidly changing business environment.

The trend of companies shifting from selling a product to selling product-as-a-service will often require a finance partner. Otherwise, the companies will need to invest upfront while the revenue streams will spread over time – for instance, as subscriptions. Our expertise within paytech makes Instabank an ideal partner for companies seeking to servitize and digitize their business models.

The bank's products and services are distributed primarily via 26 agents, various paytech partners and the bank's website.

At the end of Q2-22, Instabank had 40 full-time and 14 part-time employees.

Instabank is a member of "Bankenes Sikringsfond", which secures all deposits up to 2 MNOK in Norway and EUR 100k in Sweden and Finland.

Operational Developments

Instabank achieved in Q2-22 the highest quarterly growth in the bank's history with a growth in net loans of 398 MNOK. Adjusted for positive currency effects, growth was 307 MNOK.

The growth comes from solid performance throughout the organisation who successfully delivers on the strategy, effective operations, distribution, and product offerings meeting customer demands. Instabank continued its path towards becoming a well-diversified bank with lower credit risk as the mortgage product increased to 51 % of net loans in Norway and 33 % of total net loans, up from 44 %/ 29 % per the end of Q1-22.

The mortgage product performed very well in the quarter, and the growth in net loans was close to doubling from the previous quarter. The growth of 290 MNOK in net loans in Q2-22 was also the highest quarterly growth since the product was launched two years ago. The increased growth comes from a successful marketing campaign with TV commercials supported by online advertising, as well as strengthened agent distribution and improvement of customer handling processes.

Two years after launch, the mortgage product has proven to be an attractive and simple solution for those seeking to refinance unsecured loans and are homeowners. We offer them a solution where they utilise the value of their home to achieve a lower interest rate and thus increased disposable income. We do not demand that customers completely restructuring their debt, including their current mortgage, and do not offer the product to high-risk customers with loans in default that require a more complex restructuring of their debt. Depending on the best economic solution for the customer, we offer to refinance their unsecured debt in a second- or firstpriority mortgage. Up until now, the majority of Instabank's disbursed mortgages are refinancing of unsecured debt. Instabank has a follow up program for customers that have refinanced unsecured including a free personal finance advice service from "Norsk Familieøkonomi"

In Finland, the market has improved after the governmental restrictions on consumer loans with an interest cap of 10 % and restrictions for the marketing of consumer loans, ended by the end of Q3-21. Growth in net loans in the quarter came in at 163 MNOK or 75 MNOK adjusted for positive currency effects.

In Sweden, Instabank does not allocate capital to growth as the loan yield is the lowest among the three countries Instabank operates. As a result, net loans declined by 8 MNOK.

Despite increased prices and interest rates, the share of loans past due had a good performance in the quarter. By the end of Q2-22, 10.0 % of total loans were 1-30 days past due, versus 10.6 % same quarter last year. There was also a reduction in 30-60 days past due to 2.4 % versus 2.5 % by the end of the same quarter last year.

Non-performing loans (NPL) volume was 404 MNOK at the end of the quarter, only 8.9 % of total gross loans. Instabank does not currently have any forward flows agreement as we find it more attractive to make one-off NPL sales. In Q3-22, Instabank will complete a sale of a NPL portfolio in Norway representing a gross value of about 85 MNOK.

Balance Sheet

Net loans to customers increased by 398 MNOK in Q2-22 to 4,334 MNOK.

Net loan balance growth (MNOK):

Deposits from customers increased by 397 MNOK to 4,742 MNOK at the end of the quarter.

Common equity Tier 1 Capital ratio was 18.9 %, and the total capital ratio was 21.7 % at the end of Q2-22, 1,1 % points above the total regulatory capital requirement of 20.6 %. The countercyclical buffer requirement increased 0.5 % points to 1.50 % for exposures in Norway per the end of the quarter.

Total assets at the end of Q2-22 were 5.566 MNOK.

At the end of Q2-22, the bank had 72,321 customers, of which 52,472 were loan customers and 19,849 were deposit customers.

Profit and Loss

Total interest income increased to 94.5 MNOK from 90.3 MNOK in the previous quarter and 75.9 MNOK in the same quarter last year, representing a growth of 18.6 MNOK/ 24 %.

Interest expenses came in at 15.2 MNOK, up from 12.2 MNOK in the previous quarter. The increase came because of a higher than expected contribution amount to the Norwegians Banks guarantee fund, increased interest rate during the quarter as well as increased deposit volumes.

Net interest income came in at 79.6 MNOK, up from 66.8 MNOK in the same quarter last year and 78.3 MNOK in Q1-22

Net other income was negatively impacted by an unrealised loss on securities of 0.7 MNOK and came in at 8.4 MNOK, up from 8.3 MNOK in the same quarter last year and 7.1 MNOK in the previous quarter when there also was a loss on securities holdings.

Total income came in at 87.9 MNOK, up from 85.4 MNOK in the previous quarter and up 12.8 MNOK/ 17 % from the same quarter last year, following the growth in net loans.

A marketing campaign, contributing to the strong mortgage growth, impacted the operational expenses that came in at 40.2 MNOK, up from 39.7 MNOK in the previous quarter and 31.9 MNOK in the same quarter last year. The marketing cost was 8 MNOK, representing an increase of 4.8 MNOK from the previous quarter and 5.9 MNOK from the same quarter last year.

Losses on loans came in at 24.0 MNOK or 2.2 % of gross loans to customers, versus 17.1 MNOK/ 2.1 % in the same quarter last year. Losses on loans for the mortgage product remained at the same level as previous quarters measured in percentage and was only 1.6 MNOK or 0.5 % of gross loans.

Instabank reports a profit before tax of 23.7 MNOK, and after-tax profit of 17.8 MNOK in Q2-22, versus 20.6 MNOK after-tax profit in Q1-22 and 19.5 MNOK in the same quarter last year. A high marketing cost explains the decrease in profits in the quarter, which typically vary from quarter to quarter.

Outlook

Until the end of Q2-22, Instabank was confident that the Lunar acquisition would be completed following Lunar's announcement that they have reached the 90 % acceptance criteria on the 12th of April after the offer was launched by the end of March this year. However, as Instabank announced on the 29th of June, Lunar informed Instabank that it is looking increasingly difficult to be able to complete a transaction raising the necessary capital to meet the Norwegian FSA and the Danish FSA's requirements. On August 4 th , Instabank received information that Lunar's management deems it unlikely that Lunar will be able to raise the required capital and complete the regulatory approval process before the long-stop date for the offer of 30 September 2022.

Instabank notes that there are no conditions in Lunar's offer relating to Lunar's capitalization or any capital raise by Lunar. Instabank will continue to assess the situation and any steps to be taken to protect the interests of Instabank and its shareholders.

Instabank operation throughout 2022 has been impacted by the acquisition process by Lunar primarily, Instabank has not been able to execute the capital plans for 2022 and all other aspects of such a process. The result is limited excess capital by the end of Q2-22, restraining the ability to continue the strong growth in net loans in the third quarter.

Instabank expects Lunar to use all efforts to obtain the required approvals from the Norwegian FSA and the Danish FSA within the long-stop date.

The bank's liquidity and capital situation are expected to remain satisfactory. It should be noted that there is typically uncertainty related to assessments of future conditions.

Other Information

There has been a limited review of the accounts in accordance with ISRE 2410 as of 30.06.22 by the bank's auditors and the result after tax is added to retained earnings in full.

Expected Credit Loss

Instabank apply the IFRS9 framework and methodology consisting of three stages of impairment when calculating Expected Credit Loss (ECL). The three stages include Stage 1 which consist of non-impaired exposure, Stage 2 which consist of exposure where credit risk has significantly increased since origination and Stage 3 which consist of observed impairment exposure following a 90 days past due definition. The overall staging criteria is based on a combination of observed events, past due observations and submodels predicting the probability of default (PD), exposure at default (EAD) and loss given default (LGD). Predictions follow a 12-month accumulation in Stage 1, while Stage 2 and 3 follow a lifetime approach.

Significant increase in credit risk

Stage 2 consist of exposure where credit risk has significantly increased since origination following several different criteria, including early past due observations (30 - 90 days), current forbearance history and increase in probability of default (PD) between origination and the reporting date. The latter predictive model employs historical behavior data in order to predict the probability of default in the next 12 months, where default is defined as 90 days past due. The below table show the trigger thresholds that define a significant increase in PD origination and the reporting date.

Macroeconomic input to ECL model

Instabank has employed one macroeconomic model for each country in measuring ECL in accordance with difference macroeconomic scenarios, including a pessimistic, baseline and optimistic scenario. The models explain historical correlation between macroeconomic indicators and portfolio default levels and future projection of the macroeconomic indicators in turn adjust PD according to model correlations and the model variables. The macroeconomic projections are based on the NiGEM-model developed by UK's Institute of Economic and Social Reseach and the model parameters vary per country due to differences in goodness-of-fit between macroeconomic indicators and the portfolio default levels and its development. In addition, macroeconomic indicators are evaluated in terms of economic logic towards probability of default. In the Norway model, "Employment Rate" is the ratio between the Employment and the Population Working Age and in the Sweden and Finland model, Consumption is shown in millions and employed as the increase of the Consumption being an indicator for improving economic conditions and incomes with a further expectancy of a decrease in probability of default.

ECL sensitivity between macro scenarios

The weighting of the scenarios was unaltered at [30 % pessimistic - 40 % baseline - 30 % optimistic] during Q2-2021 after an update in Q2-2020 of future projection of macroeconomic indicators, including short- and long-term effects of COVID-19. The projections reflect a worsening in all employment and consumption-based indicators, especially in shorter term, and in addition cause ECL per scenario to differ to a greater extent. These macroeconomic projections were utilized during 2021 due to uncertainty and volatility, especially regarding the net effect of worsening macroeconomic conditions and the numerous governments supports at different levels, hence the equal probability weighting of the pessimistic and optimistic scenario occurring in the final ECL.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed statement of financial position of Instabank ASA as of 30 June 2022, the condensed statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of changes in equity for the three-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 1. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information does not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the entity as at 30 June 2022, and its financial performance for the three-month period then ended in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 1.
