Operational Developments
In the first quarter, Instabank successfully enhanced the operations of its three main segments: mortgages, business lending, and unsecured consumer loans. To drive lending growth, the focus was on expanding the most profitable segments, specifically mortgages and business lending. After three consecutive quarters of decreased volume, we also adjusted our strategy by allocating excess capital to promote growth in the unsecured consumer loans segment
Growth total gross loans (MNOK):
Instabank has successfully launched its fully digital credit card in Germany, achieving a significant strategic milestone. This is the fourth country where we offer lending services. The launch enhances Instabank's unsecured consumer lending options and marks a shift from consumer loans to credit cards, with the Instabank Visa card now available in three countries: Norway, Finland, and Germany. By entering Germany, the largest banking market in Europe, Instabank establishes itself as a leading Nordic challenger bank, providing German customers with a modern, transparent, and fully digital credit card experience.
The credit card is built on a scalable technology platform, providing customers with an entirely innovative digital application process uncommon in Germany. In addition, Germany is the first market where we have implemented the newly developed AI customer service, which will serve our customers in both verbal and written communication. The digital application process, together with the AI-enabled customer service, will ensure a highly scalable operation of the German market.
In addition, Instabank has expanded its product offerings in Germany by introducing a rental deposit account in strategic cooperation with smartmiete.de, a subsidiary of Husleie.no. This deposit product will complement the bank's current funding sources in Euros, positively impacting its net interest margins.
44 %
Mortgages share of total lending
Demand for mortgages increased compared to the previous quarter, leading to a growth in lending of 107 MNOK, bringing the total to 3,125 MNOK in gross loans. Although there was an increase in new mortgages issued, there was also a rise in churn.
Business lending has continued a strong growth trajectory, increasing by 125 MNOK in the quarter to reach a total of 587 MNOK, which accounts for 8% of our total gross loans. Our business lending solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises have proven to be successful. In an underserved market, we provide dedicated support throughout the application process, making it simpler and faster than experiences elsewhere.
8 %
Business lending share of
total lending
Our business customers seek working capital to either expand their operations or address short-term funding needs. Profitability remains robust, with an average loan yield of 17.9% and a loan loss ratio of 2.5% for the quarter. Given that the market is underserved, we anticipate significant growth in the future.
Profit and Loss
Instabank reported a profit before tax of 30.8 MNOK in the first quarter, an increase of 6.6 MNOK compared to the same quarter last year. This growth was driven by an increase in total income and decreased loan losses, although it was partly offset by higher operating expenses.
Total interest income increased by 17.0 MNOK from the same quarter last year, reaching 179.0 MNOK in Q1 2025. This increase resulted from a 12-month gross lending growth of 897 MNOK, which excludes the sale of non-performing loans amounting to 469 MNOK during the period.
Interest expenses continued to level off in the first quarter, following decreased deposit rates for EUR deposits. Interest expenses only increased by 0.7 MNOK from the same quarter last year, despite an increase in deposit volume of 521 MNOK
Growth in net interest income
The net other income for the quarter was 19.4 MNOK, an increase of 0.8 MNOK compared to the same quarter last year.
Total income in Q1 2025 amounted to 134.5 MNOK, up by 18.0 MNOK from the same quarter last year.
Operating expenses reached 62.1 MNOK, representing an increase of 0.9 MNOK from the previous quarter. These expenses were impacted by costs associated with the Finnish banking license application process and the launch of a new credit card offering in the German market.
Loan losses amounted to 41.7 MNOK or 2.4%, down by 4.7 million NOK from the same quarter last year. This decrease is attributed to a shift in lending towards lower-risk segments in the period, such as mortgages and business lending, as opposed to unsecured consumer loans.
Profit before tax Q1-25
Profit before tax was 30.8 MNOK, and profit after tax was 23.1 MNOK, representing a return on equity of 9.7 %.
Balance Sheet
Gross loans to customers increased by 334 MNOK in the quarter to 7,024 MNOK at the end of the quarter.
Deposits from customers decreased by 184 MNOK in the quarter to 6,930 MNOK at the end of the quarter.
Total assets at the end of Q1 2025 were 8,225 MNOK.
In January this year, Instabank received an updated decision from the Norwegian FSA (NFSA) regarding the capital composition for the Pillar 2 requirement. Previously, the Bank's Pillar 2 requirement of 4.8 % had to be fully covered by 100 % common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital. Under the revised decision, the Pillar 2 requirement must only be covered by a minimum of 56.25 % CET1 capital and 75 % core capital.
This change released 2.1 percentage points from the CET1 requirement, corresponding to about 100 MNOK in CET1 capital. The overall capital requirement remained unchanged.
At the end of the quarter, the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (CET1) ratio was 18.3 %, down 1.1 % points from the previous quarter and 2.0 % points above the regulatory capital requirement including the expected capital buffer (P2G) of 2 %. The total capital ratio was 22.3 %, 0.4 % points above the total regulatory capital requirement including P2G buffer.
18.3 %
CET1 ratio
Dividend for the financial year 2024 of 30.2 MNOK, to be paid in April this year, and expected dividend for 2025 were deducted in the calculation of the CET1 capital.
After the balance date, on April 1st, CRR3 took effect and introduced changes to risk weights and a new calculation method for operational risk. This results in an overall reduction of approximately 120 MNOK on the calculation basis. Based on the situation at the end of Q1 2025, the following one-time effects are expected:
-
CET1 capital ratio: an increase of 0.45 percentage points
-
Total capital ratio: an increase of 0.55 percentage points
Strategic Move Towards Europe
As communicated in the report for the Q4-2024, Instabank's board of directors has initiated the process of applying for a banking license in Finland.
By applying for a banking license in Finland, Instabank will have the opportunity be 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.
Instabank plans to submit its banking license application to the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) during the second quarter. The application process is expected to take approximately one year, during which time the bank will assess the implications and benefits of this move. This step highlights Instabank's commitment to long-term competitiveness and sustainable growth.
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 move will allow us to operate within a European regulatory framework, supporting our strategy to scale across European markets. Our ambition to grow and lead in the banking industry is evident through this strategic decision.
We are committed to technological innovation and modernization. Our recent implementation of AI-enabled customer service in Germany is a testament to our focus on providing cutting-edge solutions to our customers
The board of directors of Instabank have 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.
For 2025, we anticipate growth in gross loans to exceed 1.7 billion NOK and profit after tax of about 125 MNOK.
Other information
Regarding capital requirement, there has been a limited review of the accounts in accordance with ISRE 2410 as of 31.03.2025 by the bank's auditors and the result after tax for the quarter is added to retained earnings, net expected dividend for 2025.

The interim report is prepared in accordance with chapter 8 in regulations for annual accounts of banks, credit companies and financial institutions, which means interim financial statement in accordance with IAS 34 and those exceptions included in the regulations for annual accounts of banks, credit companies and financial institutions, as presentation of statement of cashflows. For further information, see note 1 accounting principles in the annual report of 2024. In the second quarter of 2024, the bank revised its accounting practices for interest income on securities.

Positive and negative changes in the value of securities are still recorded under "Net gains/loss on foreign exchange and securities classified as current assets".

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 nonimpaired 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 stageing 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'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 in order 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 below table show 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 of 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 and sales financing in Norway 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.

Note 6: Restated financial figures for comparison purposes
In the second quarter of 2024, the bank revised its accounting practices for interest income on securities. Previously, interest income on securities was recorded under "Net gains/loss on foreign exchange and securities classified as current assets". However, starting from Q2 2024, interest income on securities is now recorded under "other interest income". Positive and negative changes in the value of securities are still recorded under "Net gains/loss on foreign exchange and securities classified as current assets". Note that these changes have no impact on the Total Income.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed statement of financial position of Instabank ASA as of 31 March 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.
