INTERIM REPORT Q2 2025 Instabank ASA

Key highlights Q2-25

Record-high growth in gross lending of 835 MNOK

Driven by strong organic growth (467 MNOK) and mortgage portfolio acquisition (368 MNOK)

Successful credit card launch in Germany

Marks a major step in the bank's European growth strategy

Profit before tax of 28.9 MNOK (36,7 MNOK adjusted for extraordinary events)

Profits were impacted mainly by two extraordinary events directly related to our strategic growth investments. First, the successful launch and high growth in the German market drives higher-than-usual loss provisions, due to the nature of IFRS 9 provisioning. Moreover, the Finnish banking license application process requires significant investments in external advisory and legal fees.

The Nordic challenger

Operational Developments

In the second quarter, Instabank achieved record-high lending growth of 835 MNOK, driven by a substantial organic increase of 467 MNOK and the acquisition of a mortgage portfolio of 368 MNOK.

Unsecured consumer lending, mortgages, and business lending all drove organic growth.

835 MNOK

Quarterly growth in gross lending

In the unsecured consumer lending segment, the introduction of the credit card in Germany accounted for 106 MNOK of the total growth of 178 MNOK. This represents a strategic milestone, as the German credit card extends Instabank's unsecured consumer lending offerings and signifies a shift from traditional consumer loans to credit cards. The Instabank Visa card is now available in three countries: Norway, Finland, and Germany

By entering Germany, the largest banking market in Europe, Instabank positions itself as a leading Nordic challenger bank. The bank offers German customers a modern, transparent, and fully digital credit card experience. Additionally, Germany is the first market where we implemented our newly developed AI customer service. This innovation enables us to assist customers effectively in both verbal and written communication, ensuring a highly scalable and competitive operation in Germany.

Growth total gross loans (MNOK):

In the mortgages segment, lending grew by 543 MNOK to 3,668 MNOK, representing 47 % of total lending. The bank completed an acquisition of a mortgage portfolio valued at 368 MNOK from a Norwegian bank.

47 %

Mortgages share of total lending

The portfolio mirrors Instabank's existing mortgage portfolio in terms of interest rates, credit risk, and loan-to-value ratios. This acquisition underscores Instabank's capacity to leverage structural opportunities alongside its organic growth strategy.

Business lending celebrates its two year anniversary since launch and has proven to be Instabank's most profitable segment. In the second quarter, the growth continued, increasing lending by 114 MNOK to 701 MNOK, representing 9 % of total lending.

Our business customers seek working capital to either expand their operations or address short-term funding needs.

Business lending share of total lending

Profitability remains robust, with an average loan yield of 17.8 % and a loan loss ratio of 2.6 % for the quarter. Given that the market is underserved, we anticipate continued growth in the future.

Profit and Loss

Instabank reports a profit before tax of 28.9 MNOK in the second quarter, which represents a decrease of 1.9 MNOK from the previous quarter as a result of two strategic investments: (1) The profit was negatively affected by a loss of 5.8 MNOK from the German credit card operation, which had its first operational quarter following its launch as well as (2) advisory cost of 2 MNOK related to the Finnish license application.

28.9 MNOK

Profit before tax Q2-25

The initial loss in the German credit card operation during its first quarter was largely influenced by loan loss allowances. This was due to a combination of significant volume growth and a conservative loan loss allowance model. The German credit card operation is expected to turn profitable by the fourth quarter of 2025.

Total interest income increased by 15.1 MNOK from the previous quarter, reaching 202.3 MNOK in Q2 2025. This increase resulted from a quarterly gross lending growth of 835 MNOK.

Interest expenses were 77.3 MNOK, up 5.3 MNOK from the previous quarter. The increase came from a quarterly deposit growth of 883 MNOK, partly offset by a decrease in the average deposit rate of 0.2 % points.

The net interest income came in at 125.0 MNOK, up 9.6 MNOK/ 7 % from the previous quarter.

+ 7 %

Growth in net interest income

The net other income for the quarter was 19.1 MNOK, a decrease of 0.3 MNOK compared to the previous quarter.

Total income in Q2 2025 amounted to 144.1 MNOK, up 9.6 MNOK from the previous quarter.

Operating expenses reached 64.2 MNOK, an increase of 2.1 MNOK from the previous quarter. These expenses were impacted by costs associated with the Finnish banking license application process and operational cost associated with the new credit card offering in the German market.

Loan losses amounted to 50.9 MNOK or 2.7 %, representing an increase of 9.3 MNOK/ +0.3 % points from the previous quarter. This increase is attributed to loan loss allowances for credit cards in Germany (3.8 MNOK) and an increase in loan loss allowances for Finnish consumer loans (4.6 MNOK).

Profit before tax were 28.9 MNOK, and profit after tax was 21.7 MNOK, representing a return on equity of 9.1 %.

Balance Sheet

Gross loans to customers increased by 835 MNOK in the quarter to 7,859 MNOK at the end of the quarter.

Deposits from customers decreased by 883 MNOK in the quarter to 7,814 MNOK at the end of the quarter.

Total assets at the end of Q2 2025 were 9,221 MNOK.

Regulatory capital

On April 1st, CRR3 came into effect, introducing changes to risk weights and a new method for calculating operational risk. As a result, there was an overall reduction of approximately 120 MNOK in the calculation basis.

In the second quarter, Instabank strengthened its capital position by issuing an additional Tier 1 bond of 60 MNOK and a subordinated Tier 2 bond of 80 MNOK. As a result of these actions, and despite significant growth in lending, the bank maintained a strong capital position.

17.4 %

CET1 ratio

At the end of the quarter, the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (CET1) ratio was 17.4 %, 1.3 % points above the regulatory capital requirement including the expected capital buffer (P2G) of 2 %. The total capital ratio was 23.8 %, 2.0 % points above the total regulatory capital requirement including P2G buffer.

Instabank has paid its first dividend for the Financial Year 2024 and has also deducted the expected dividend for 2025 in the calculation of the CET1 capital.

Strategic Move Towards Europe

Instabank's application process for a banking license in Finland is ongoing, and the application has been submitted to the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Instafin Oy ("Instabank Finland").

By applying for a banking license in Finland, Instabank will have the opportunity to operate within a European regulatory framework, fostering a more competitive and growth-oriented banking environment. Finland's regulatory stability and alignment with EU banking standards make it a compelling choice, supporting Instabank's strategy of scaling across European markets.

To prepare for the transition, the boards of directors of Instabank ASA and Instabank Finland signed a merger plan on June 27th , 2025, to merge Instabank ASA into Instabank Finland, making Instabank Finland the surviving entity. Upon completion of the merger, Instabank Finland will assume all assets, rights, and obligations of Instabank ASA, which will be dissolved as a legal entity

The merger's implementation is conditional on the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) granting the banking license and other necessary permits.

The application process is expected to take approximately one year.

Outlook

Thanks to a well-diversified product range and robust capital situation, Instabank is very well-positioned for growth and increased returns in 2025. Our strategic focus on expanding business lending, mortgages, and the new credit card in Germany will drive our growth in this year.

Instabank is taking a significant step towards becoming a leading challenger bank in Northern Europe by applying for a banking license in Finland. This strategic decision supports our ambition to grow and lead in the banking industry.

We are committed to technological innovation and modernization. Our recent implementation of AI-enabled customer service is a testament to our focus on providing cutting-edge solutions to our customers.

In the first half of 2025, Instabank experienced significant growth in gross lending of 1.169 MNOK. This success highlights the potential of our business model and an effective utilisation of excess capital. For the entirety of 2025, we expect the total gross loans to increase by about 1.7 billion NOK.

The significant growth in lending during the first half of 2025 is expected to result in a notable increase in income for the remainder of the year, leading to improved profits. For 2025, we anticipate a profit after tax of approximately 125 MNOK.

The board of directors of Instabank has decided on a new dividend policy allowing for capital that is not allocated for growth to be distributed as dividends. This policy ensures a balanced return on equity for our shareholders, combining both dividends and long-term value creation.

Other information

Regarding capital requirement, there has been a limited review of the accounts in accordance with ISRE 2410 as of 30.06.2025 by the bank's auditors and the result after tax for the quarter is added to retained earnings, net expected dividend for 2025.

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 consists of nonimpaired exposure, Stage 2 which consist of exposure where credit risk has significantly increased since its origination and Stage 3 which consist of observed impairment exposure following 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 consists of exposure where credit risk has significantly increased since origination following several different criteria's, 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 to predict the probability of default in the next 12 months, where default is defined as 90 days past due. Loans that are more than 90 days past due transfer from Stage 2 to Stage 3. The table below shows the trigger thresholds that define a significant increase in PD origination and the reporting date. The thresholds for high and low risk at origination are 4% for Norway Unsecured, 3% for Norway Secured and 7 % for Sweden. In Finland there are three groups with thresholds <5%, >=5% to <12% and >=12% for low, medium and high PD at origination. The thresholds were updated in 2024 due to a new behavior model for secured loans, as well as a recalibration of all the subgroups. For B2B there is for now one group.

MACROECONOMIC INPUT TO ECL MODEL

Instabank conducts a quarterly expert assessment of how macroeconomic effects impact the bank's loan loss provisions. This assessment uses data from Moody's Analytics Global Macroeconomic Model (GMM) and takes into account indicators such as the "Unemployment Rate" (Labor Force Survey, %), "Interest Rate" (three-month money market rate), and "House Price Index" (nominal index, 2010 = 100). These indicators are used as inputs for the Loss Committee to determine a macro factor for each product area, which is applied to the calculated loan loss provisions. Climate risk is not considered in this assessment.

These indicators have been used as input for determining the macro factor.

ECL SENSITIVITY BETWEEN MACRO SCENARIOS

The weighting of the scenarios is set at [30 % pessimistic - 40 % baseline - 30 % optimistic] for all portfolios. The indicators from the scenarios reflect the probability of the economy performing worse or better than the projection. For the baseline scenario, the probability that the economy performing better or worse than the projection is both equal at 50 % and is thereby the most likely outcome. For the optimistic scenario, there is a 10 % probability that the economy will perform better than projections and 90 % probability that it will perform worse and vice versa for the pessimistic scenario.

Note 3: Operating segments

Instabank categorizes the lending portfolio into three segments, unsecured consumer loans, mortgages in Norway and business lending in Norway. Unsecured consumer loans consist of five lending products: Credit cards in Norway, Finland and Germany and consumer loans in Norway, Finland and Sweden. The three segments represent the Bank's focus and are included in reporting to management and the board. There is no significant differentiation in ongoing monitoring, management, and control within the various business segments. The presentations below are based on internal financial reporting. Segment results show revenues and costs that are directly attributable to the segments. Interest costs are calculated based on the gross loan volume for each segment and the bank's deposit rates.

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 2025, 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 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 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 1.
