Explanations to ratios (quarterly ratios have been expressed on an annualised basis)
Average equity (attributable to owners of the parent) = (equity as at the end of the reporting period + equity as at the end of the previous reporting period) / 2 Return on equity (ROE) = net profit for the quarter (share of owners of the parent) / average equity (attributable to owners of the parent) *100 Return on assets (ROA) = net profit for the quarter (share of owners of the parent) / average assets*100 Net interest margin (NIM) = net interest income / interest-bearing assets, average *100 Price spread (SPREAD) = interest yield from interest-bearing assets – cost of external capital Interest yield from interest-bearing assets = interest income / interest-bearing assets, average *100 Cost of external capital = interest expenses / interest-bearing liabilities, average *100 Cost/income ratio = total operating cost / total income *100
Operating Environment
The world's economy stayed resilient in Q2 of 2024 and growth steady. By the end of the quarter, economic activity was near the 12-month peak, then slowed1 . The outlook for output, new orders and the pace of growth of services were pared back, mainly due to political uncertainty in the UK, France, US and India. Nevertheless, economic activity by sectors became broad-based for the first time in three years. Global inflation has started to fall toward the 2% target level, although it will be a bumpy road to get there. Some central banks have moved toward easing monetary policy and initiated the first cuts to prime interest rates (e.g. central banks of Switzerland, Sweden, Canada, ECB). Yet the differences between various parts of the world are still considerable and, in some places, interest rate cuts have been postponed (e.g. US, UK, Norway, Australia) while in others (e.g. Japan) monetary policy has been tightened outright.
Risks to the global outlook have in general been offset, but they have not vanished. Geopolitical tensions, including the Russo-Ukrainian War and Israel-Hamas War may lead to a new rise in energy prices (oil, electricity, natural gas) and certain food commodities prices (olive oil, sugar). Secondly, labour markets remain strong, which keeps the growth in prices of services higher than desired. This in turn may lead central banks to keep interest rates high for a longer period. Global economic growth will most likely remain modest in the coming years, since many countries are tightening fiscal policy measures, raising taxes and cutting government spending. World economic growth is forecasted to be around 3.2% in 2024-20252 .
In Q1 of 2024, the US economy grew 1.3% and its continued strength has buoyed growth forecasts – now expected to be 2.7% in 2024. The fact that inflation is stubbornly higher than expected introduces some uncertainty. The Chinese economy is forecasted to slow from 5.2% to 4.6% growth in 2024, hampered by a weak real estate sector, low consumer confidence, deflation and worsening of relations with the West. In Japan, where benchmark rates have been negative, interest rates entered positive territory in Q1 of 2024 due to mounting pressure from inflation in excess of 2%.
The gains on the world's biggest stock market indices slowed down in Q2 of 2024. The S&P 500 did decline in April but gains resumed in May; the index rose 3.9% overall for the quarter. The Tokyo stock exchange's rapid rise that started last year reversed in Q2 and the Nikkei 225 declined by 1.9% during the quarter. The European stock market index STOXX 600 grew in April, then started moving laterally and by the end of the quarter growth was near zero at -0.2%. London's FTSE 100 hit a new high in May, then underwent a weak correction, closing the quarter in positive territory, 2.5%. Shanghai's SSE Composite Index got off to a strong start in Q2, then declined, shedding 2.4% over the quarter.
In the first quarter of 2024, the European economy grew slightly – 0.4% – year over year. Although the economy improved in most Eurozone countries, there was wide variation from one member to another, and still contracted in some countries (e.g. Germany, Austria and Netherlands). The latest information suggests that the slow recovery will continue and that economic growth in 2024 should be 0.9%. Still, business profit growth is expected to taper in 2024, since wage expenses and general price level remain high.
The Eurozone economy is still shackled by low consumer confidence, the after-effects of high energy prices and weakness of investment and of interest-sensitive companies. Unlike in the rest of the world, trade and business activity remained on a weaker footing in the Eurozone. The steep drop in production volumes in June and outlook for new orders point to growth slowing, yet the general outlook is still positive3 . As a whole the labour market in the Eurozone has remained strong and unemployment is near record lows, 6.4%. Inflation rose somewhat in Q2 and was 2.5%, 0.1 percentage point above what it was at the end of the last quarter. Higher prices of services are the main factor contributing to rising prices, wage growth preventing inflation from slowing enough. At the same time, there are still major disparities between the inflation figures for Eurozone countries. In Q2, inflation was lowest in Finland and Italy – about 1% year-over-year in June. In Belgium, on the other hand, inflation was driven upward by rising energy prices, to 5.5% in

June. In Spain, Netherlands and Croatia as well, inflation remained close to 3.5%.
The European Central Bank (ECB) lowered key interest rates by 25 basis points in June, but the effect on the 6-month Euribor remained limited, and the rate was 3.682% at the end of the quarter. Nevertheless, the inflation outlook for the Eurozone persists relatively high, since domestic price pressure is strong due to rising wages. Inflation is expected to remain higher than the target until the second half of 2025, the forecasts for headline inflation being 2.5% for 2024, 2.2% for 2025 and 1.9% for 2026.4 The ECB is expected to keep interest rates where they are for at least a few months, but future interest expectations are based on the inflation outlook and transmission extent of monetary policy. Financial markets are pricing in 1-2 reference interest rate cuts in the coming quarters.
The UK economy is contending with problems similar to that of the Eurozone, but is in a less favourable position in regard to inflation and economic growth. The British economy grew by 0.3% in Q1. Prices remained higher than in the Eurozone, although inflation continued to slow, falling to 2.8% in May. Since inflation is still above the target, the Bank of England left rates unchanged at 5.25%. Signs in the direction of weakening can also be seen on the labour market, which overall still remains strong. Unemployment rose to 4.4% in Q1 of 2024 but more concern was prompted by the lower rate of participation in the workforce. The outlook for the UK economy is also more modest than that of the Eurozone. Growth of 0.6%5 is forecasted for British economy for 2024.
The economic environments in Estonia's main trading partners are moving in different directions. A new growth cycle has started in Latvia and Lithuania, where economic growth was 0.9% and 3% in Q1 of 2024. The Finnish economy shrank by 1.4%, but has started recovering from the crisis and people's purchasing power is on the upswing. Recovery will be slow, however, and the Finnish economy may contract 0.5% this year. According to the Finnish central bank's forecast, housing construction will continue its steep decline and corporate investments will decrease due to

stringent monetary policy and uncertain economic outlook6 . In the coming years, starting from 2025, the outlook for investments will improve and both housing construction and corporate investments should start to rise. The Swedish central bank has started lowering interest rates and the economy is in better position than Finland's – Q1 economic growth was 0.3%. In 2024, the Swedish economy should grow 1.0%, mainly propelled by increasing private consumption. Public sector investments and some major business real estate transactions offer some relief to the construction sector. At the same time, growth in the construction sector's production volumes is forecasted to slow to 2% in 2024 and then shed another 1.1% in 2025.7 General demand for housing continues to be weak. Growth in housing construction is not expected until inflation and interest rates have remained low for a longer period.
The Estonian economy has been contracting since Q2 of 2022. The drop continued in Q1 of 2024 – 2.1% year-over-year in Q1 of 2024. The statistics for Q2 of 2024 do not yet exhibit definitive signs of economic recovery but some positive indications have appeared. The energy sector, manufacturing, transport and warehousing are responsible for the decline. Scandinavia's unstable economy is also still putting pressure on exports. In Q2 2024, the drop in production volumes did slow, reaching to negative -1.2% in May compared to the previous year. Confidence has risen in most sectors in the last few months although it is still close to historical lows. Confidence among businesses in sectors that have the greatest influence on the economy (manufacturing, construction) has not deteriorated significantly in the first half of 2024; it has tended to stay at the same level. This indicates that the initial impact of the crisis has already materialized for businesses in the given sector, but the second half of the year will probably continue to be complicated. Consumer confidence remains very low, which is also reflected in the rate of decline in retail sales volumes speeding up.
Estonia's labour market continues to be in good shape. Unemployment did rise to 7.8% in Q1 2024, but is still near the historical average. Unemployment will rise this year to an average

of 8%, according to the forecast from Eesti Pank, and then fall again. The number of employees is down the most in areas of activity related to construction, real estate, manufacturing and water supply. Wage growth has begun to recede, being 8.8% in Q1 of 2024. Nor has consumer purchasing power recovered completely from the high prices – the return of real wages to 2021 levels may only happen by late 2025. The consumer price index is down from its peak in 2023 and inflation fell to 2.8% in June 2024. Nevertheless, tax hikes implemented at the start of 2024 have kept Estonian inflation higher than the Eurozone average.
The financial situation faced by domestic households and ability to put money in savings has started to improve a bit, but a recovery will take time. Households' savings deposits grew 7.6% in May; corporate deposits, 0.6%. Still, growth rate is clearly lower than the long-term level and growth is not broad-based. The average interest rate on term deposits dropped to 3.58% for households and 3.63% for companies. Since the last quarter of 2023, the loan market has stabilized and the growth rate of housing loans issued has stayed around 6.0%. The increase in loans granted to companies decreased slightly to 5.6%. The average interest rate on housing loans has fallen to 5.3%, the average interest rate on long-term loans to companies rose to 6.6%. Banks' risk assessments are elevated due to the hard times in the economy, but this is counterbalanced by some competitive pressure growth and the fact that companies and households have managed well to pay off loans. The share of the loan portfolio made up by overdue housing loans remained at 0.2%, while the respective share of loans to companies fell a little to 0.2%.
The outlook for the Estonian economy for 2024 continues to be weak, but the conditions for returning to growth have improved. According to the Estonian central bank forecast8 , the economy will contract 0.4% in 2024, but conditions for growth should improve in the second half of the year. The main factor behind the drop is lower foreign demand in Scandinavia, and the continuing Russia-Ukraine war. Competitiveness on foreign markets remains low but is expected to get better in future. At the same time, a positive development is seen in the continuing growth of purchasing power, which should gradually also start nudging private consumption upward.

The Group's Liquidity, Capitalisation and Asset Quality
As at 30 June 2024, the Group's own funds stood at EUR 539.7 million (31 December 2023: EUR 526.4 million). LHV Group own funds are calculated based on regulative requirements.
Compared to Group's internal capital adequacy ratio target 19.7%, the Group is capitalised good enough as at the end of the reporting period, with the capital adequacy ratio is amounting to 20.9% (31 December 2023: 23.5%). In addition to total capital adequacy targets the Group has also set internal targets for the core Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio to 14.70% and Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio to 16.85%. The internal targets were approved in December 2023 by the Group's Supervisory Board, after the completion of the annual supervisory assessment by the ECB. LHV Group includes only that part of the current year's profit for which the European Central Bank has given permission as part of its own funds. Obtaining the permit is done with the referrer, but it is also applied to the reporting quarter afterwards, which is why the capitalization ratios also change, and the Group reflects them in the next report.
The minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) is a building block of the resolution plan and LHV has to maintain sufficient own funds and qualifying liabilities which can be used to cover losses in resolution planning. On 21st of June 2021 Estonian FSA set two separate MREL ratios on the consolidation group level for LHV Group. MREL-TREA is calculated based on total risk weighted assets. MREL-LRE is calculated based on total assets. Each year regulator reviews the targets and recalibrates the requirements, if needed. As at the end of Q2 2024 the regulatory targets are 19.08% (MREL-TREA) and 5.91% (MREL-LRE). Group needs to meet higher MREL-TREA target to distribute dividends. This target is equal to sum of regulatory minimum requirement and combined buffer which is 25.08%. As at 30 June 2024, MREL-TREA ratio was 37.23% (31.12.2023: 35.68%) and MREL-LRE was 14.59% (31.12.2023: 12.62%).
The Group's liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), as defined by the Basel Committee, stood at 214.6% as at the end of June (31 December 2023: 194.2%). Financial intermediates' deposits in Bank are covered 100% with liquid assets. Excluding the financial intermediates deposits the Groups LCR is 457.4% (31.12.2023: 449.9%). The Group recognises cash and bond portfolios as liquidity buffers. These accounted for 46% of the balance sheet (31 December 2023: 48%). The ratio of loans to deposits stood at 65% as at the end of the second quarter (31 December 2023: 60%). Group's maturity structure is presented in Note 5.

LHV Pank earned EUR 60.1 million in net interest income and EUR 8.2 million in net service fee income in Q2. Net financial income amounted to EUR -0.2 million in Q2. In total, the Bank's income was EUR 68.8 million and expenses were EUR 23.2 million. Net income rose by 12% and expenses increased by 10% over the year. The discounts of loans and bonds amounted to EUR 4.9 million in Q2. We made forward-looking specific and general discounts. We are keeping a very close eye on developments in the credit portfolio.
LHV Pank accounts for and recognises in expenses a 14% advance income tax which was EUR 5.6 million in Q2. Income tax expense on future disbursements of dividends by subsidiaries at the consolidated level was EUR 0.3 million in Q2.
The Bank's Q2 profit amounted to EUR 34.8 million, which is 5% less than in Q1 2024 (36.8) and 1% more than in Q2 2023 (34.4).
Income from currency exchange, settlements and investment services contribute the most into service fees.
The total volume of the Bank's loan portfolio reached EUR 3,744 million by the end of Q2 (Q1 2024: EUR 3,549 million). The volume of loans grew by EUR 194 million in Q2 (Q1 2024: a growth of EUR 1 million). The net retail loan portfolio grew by 6% during the quarter, reaching EUR 1,719 million (Q1 2024: EUR 1,625 million). The net corporate loan portfolio grew by 5% during the quarter, reaching EUR 2024 million (Q1 2024: EUR 1,924 million).
The volume of deposits at the Bank decreased by EUR 211 million from the previous quarter and stood at EUR 5,459 million at the end of the quarter (Q1 2024: EUR 5,671 million). The volume of payment intermediaries' deposits dropped by EUR 176 million during the quarter. Of the deposits, EUR 3,677 million were call deposits, EUR 1,521 million term deposits and EUR 261 million platform deposits. The volume of the deposits of private persons amounted to EUR 1,569 million as at the end of the quarter, having decreased by 9% in a quarter.
The Bank's expense-income ratio was 33.8% in Q2, decreasing by 0.6 percentage points from Q2 2023 (34.3%).
The corporate credit portfolio, which includes loans and guarantees, grew EUR 287.8 million over the year (+15%) with a quarter-over-quarter growth of EUR 90.8 million (+4%). Loans granted to companies in the sector of real estate related activities were the largest source of growth, growing by EUR 139.2 million (20%) in a year. Next came loans to companies in the transport and warehousing sector, which grew EUR 43.1 million from the year before (+279%) and loans issued to companies in the manufacturing industry, which grew EUR 40.9 million (+25%) over the year.
Compared to Q1 2024, the portfolio growth was most influenced by the sector engaged in real estate activities (quarterly growth EUR 59.6 million; +8%), followed by the manufacturing industry (EUR 14.7 million; +8%) and the construction sector (EUR 13.6 million; +18%).
The majority of corporate loans were granted to the real estate sector, which makes up 39% of the Bank's corporate loan portfolio. Of real estate loans, the principal part was issued to projects with high-quality rental streams, with real estate developments making up a much smaller share. Most of the financed real estate developments are located in Tallinn, while projects located in other major Estonian cities and in the vicinity of Tallinn made up about 25% of development projects. LHV's market share of new development financing in Tallinn made up about one-third by estimate at the end of Q2 2024. The LHV real estate development portfolio is well-positioned in case market trends should change – the financed developments are in good locations and the risk to planned sales price ratio averages 56%.
After the real estate sector, the largest amount of credit has been issued to companies in the power, gas, steam and conditioned air sector (10%) and to manufacturing industry companies (9%). Of sectors that usually run a higher credit risk, construction makes up 4%, transport and warehousing 3% and HoReCa 2% of the total volume of the portfolio.
During the quarter, the number of the bank's clients grew by 5400. The deletion of companies from the Commercial Register – we terminated agreements with 4200 companies as a result – was one reason that the increase in the number of companies was more modest this quarter. New clients accrued at a rate similar to the start of the year and client activity was at a good level. Deposits decreased by EUR 211 million over the quarter, and loans increased by EUR 194 million.
Ordinary clients' deposits grew by EUR 137 million during the quarter and financial intermediaries' deposits decreased by EUR 176 million. The financial situation faced by domestic households and ability to put money in savings has started to improve a bit, but a recovery will take time. Households' savings deposits grew 7.6% year-over-year in May; corporate deposits, 0.6%. Still, the growth rate is clearly lower than the long-term level and the growth is not very broad-based. Deposits are still in the focus, but in Q2, we were more conservative in the interest rates we offered on term deposits. Additionally, we reduced platform deposits by EUR 180 million. Our goal is to raise deposits from the Estonian market. Using the platform, we can quickly grow the deposit volume if necessary.
Loans to non-LHV-Group companies grew by EUR 100 million and consumer loans increased by EUR 94 million. Since the last quarter of 2023, the loan market has stabilized and the growth rate of housing loans issued has stayed around 6.0%. The growth in loans granted to companies slowed slightly – to 5.6%. We outpaced market growth. The strong results were due to both the continuation of the home loan refinancing campaign and active approach to corporate customers. We signed a cooperation agreement with the European Investment Fund (EIF), which allows LHV to offer small and medium-sized companies loans, loans for apartment association renovation projects, and provide leasing enabling private clients to buy electric vehicles and companies to purchase electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles in the context of the EIF's Sustainable Loan sub-programme. Over three years, the programme will allow us to provide EUR 200 million of financing to companies and individuals, which translates to about 150 renovated apartment buildings, and 100 companies investing into more energy efficient solutions or about 500 electric vehicles.
The net profit for the quarter was EUR 35 million. The strong second-quarter result was mainly the result of interest income. The growth in net interest income is slowing, since the expenses paid on deposits are growing faster. Due to higher interest income and lower write-downs, net profit exceeded the planned target by EUR 13.6 million by the end of the quarter. Income from service charges is lagging slightly behind the target while expenses are a bit higher than planned, but remain under control.
Loan impairments increased by EUR 2.1 million during the quarter. The outlook for the Estonian economy for 2024 continues to be weak, but the conditions for returning to growth have improved. Due to the continuing fragility of the environment, we also made model-based forward-looking write-downs in Q2. The write-downs have also impacted rating changes for individual clients. As a whole, the quality of the bank's loan portfolio has stayed strong and the share of overdue loans continues to be very low. We are seeing growth in consumer loans, but the levels are reasonable and in line with expectations. Compared to the financial plan, write-downs were EUR 1.8 million lower.
Also in Q2, we introduced a number of new features in user friendliness and launched a new product on the market. We automated trading of Baltic bonds, allowing clients to execute transactions over LHV's digital channel in seconds; the trade is sent to the exchange automatically. Moreover, the internet bank now allows delivery versus payment (DVP) transfers of securities to be made without needing assistance from a bank employee. We introduced the LHV instalment payment product, which broadens the choice of payment solutions for merchants even further. Now clients can pay for goods and services in instalments without signing a credit agreement.
We brought home five eggs from the Golden Egg Awards marketing awards competition – two of them gold, one silver and two bronze – for three of our advertisements ("Freedom to Move On", "Where Are You?" and "Bungee Jump"). The annual LHV May Run, a unique running race for women only, drew a record number of entrants. June witnessed the Youth Investment Festival and 30 summer interns started their internships at LHV.
The Kantar Emor employer reputation survey for 2024 revealed that LHV is seen as university students' first choice as an employer.
Overview of LHV Bank Limited
The second quarter proved to be a very successful one for LHV Pank in terms of growing business volumes. Both the loan portfolio and retail deposits grew by more than 50% over the three months. By the end of the quarter, the bank had more than 6000 depositors. Retail deposits grew by EUR 119 million over the quarter. Deposits are being successfully attracted from three deposit platforms. Deposits are attracted by adjusting interest rates on the deposits as needed to optimize the interest expenses incurred.
Loans grew by EUR 52 million over the quarter. The network of loan brokers was expanded significantly in Q2 and additional loan account managers were hired. As at the end of the quarter, loans approved by the Credit Committee but yet to be issued stood at EUR 141 million. The quarter also saw the issue of the first fixedinterest-rate loans intended for purchasing residential real estate and leasing it out to major investors. The quality of the loan portfolio was strong and as of the end of the quarter, there were no overdue debts. The LHV brand has become significantly better known among loan brokers. Q2 also saw the beginning of active public communication over loan brokers' channels, and appearances at a number of seminars and conferences.
Business volumes from financial intermediaries' payments remained higher than planned, but deposits decreased due to stiffer competition in pricing deposits as well as because of targeted offers made by competitors.
Net profit for the quarter was EUR 0.9 million. Net profit was lower than planned, since an income tax asset formed at the beginning of the year was reversed at the end of Q2. Bank net income largely conformed to plans, but expenses were greater than planned due to increased development costs on entering the retail banking market.
Work continued toward developing a new website, mobile bank and retail banking services. The first payments and card transactions were tested and executed. The opening of the mobile bank for employees is planned for October, followed by the public launch in December. Direct debits and cards are slated to be ready by Q1 of 2025.
In early July, the bank joined the SEPA system of ordinary payments. Preparations have begun for joining the SEPA instant payment system in December.

In Q2, the operating income of LHV Varahaldus amounted to EUR 2.2 million and the net profit was EUR 0.7 million. The operating income largely corresponds to the financial plan, with operating expenses being EUR 151 thousand lower than planned. Profitability has been positively influenced by a good yield of major funds in the first half of the year and the resulting financial income earned from a growth in the value of own shares was a little bit less than EUR 0.2 million in Q2. After two quarters, Varahaldus exceeds the financial plan by EUR 0.2 million in terms of net profit.
Particularly supported by a strong June, the success of major technology shares continued in Q2, which in turn drove a growth in indexes covering primarily US shares, but also broad-based indexes of global shares. There were both winners and losers in the European markets. Measured in euros, the values of MSCI World and SP500 grew by 3.4% and 4.7%, respectively, while EuroStoxx decreased by 2.1% instead. The main keywords closely watched on major markets are inflation as well as reductions of interest rates that have already taken place in some countries, but are currently still expected in the US market, and developments in the labour market. An eye is definitely also kept on elections – the triumph of the Labour Party in the UK, further developments in France and, of course, the US presidential elections may bring various changes also in the markets. Particularly the US market is characterised by a historically high price level and an almost record high concentration of large enterprises, as well as their importance in broad indexes.
The quarter was generally positive for LHV's largest actively managed funds, with all the major asset classes generating a positive yield. The values of M, L and XL shares grew in Q2 by 2.2%, 2.8% and 2.2%, respectively. Pension fund Roheline generated good results in May, but gave up all the previously earned yield in June and ended the past three months in minus 0.4%. The yield of pension fund Indeks was 4.7% in Q2. The conservative funds S and XS rose by 1.4% and 1.2%, respectively. Compared to previous years, the growth of the receipt of social tax which acts as a reference index has considerably decreased in recent months compared to the preceding year, the growth was lower than 6% in both May and June.
Of investments in major funds, we are currently keeping a closer eye on listed and non-listed bonds, as well as equity markets. The long-prepared extensive renovation and extension of the White House also started in June.
The number of LHV's active second-pillar clients at the quarter's end was more than 118 thousand, having dropped by around two thousand in the three months. The drop was mainly caused by clients who left the second pillar at the beginning of May, but the sales figures have also been more modest compared to previous quarters. The rate of clients leaving the second pillar continues to be low and looking at the figures at the end of Q2, the next fourmonth window for applications for leaving the second pillar which ends in July may prove to be lower than the previous ones. The volume of assets managed by LHV Varahaldus was EUR 1,529 million by the end of the quarter. Clients also continue actively increasing the second pillar payments – by the end of June, 6,200 LHV pension fund clients had submitted the respective application.
Long-term Management Board member and fund manager of LHV Varahaldus, Joel Kukemelk leaves his position on 31 July. The Management Board will continue with two members from August and the other members of the investment team will take over the management of the Roheline and the index funds in both the second and the third pillar.
The portfolio of all actively managed funds and distribution of asset classes largely correspond to the long-term goal, where M, L and XL portfolio are mainly invested in unlisted asset classes less dependent on stock markets. We keep a close eye on developments on the stock market and are prepared to quickly adjust our positions depending on the conditions. We also devote extra attention to liquidity to ensure capability to more aggressively invest and naturally make disbursements to customers if they change or exit funds.

NOTE 3 Risk Management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2023. There have been no major changes in the risk management department or in any risk management policies since the year end.
To reduce liquidity risk, LHV Pank has issued mortgage bonds and involved funds from deposit platforms.
The escalated conflict in Ukraine in early 2022, did not have direct impact to LHV credit portfolio, because of historical restrictive lending to customers exposed to risks outside EU. However, changed environment needs to be considered, when issuing credits both to corporates and retail clients going forward.
The Estonian economy has been in recession for 3 years. So far, the cooling economy has had no significant negative impact on the credit portfolio quality. LHV is continuously monitoring credit portfolio quality and is in close dialog with customers, so that in case of a need, potential risks could be mitigated.

NOTE 7 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Management Board of the Group has determined the fair value of assets and liabilities recognised at amortised cost in the balance sheet. To determine the fair value, future cash flows are discounted based on the market interest curve.
The below table provides an overview of the assessment techniques, which depend on the hierarchy of assets and liabilities measured at fair value:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | 30.06.2024 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | 31.12.2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Shares and fund units* | 901 | 6 186 | 0 | 7 087 | 745 | 5 856 | 0 | 6 601 |
| Bonds at fair value through profit and loss | 14 419 | 0 | 0 | 14 419 | 11 551 | 0 | 0 | 11 551 |

*Shares and fund units include the Group companies' AS LHV Varahaldus investment into pension fund units in the amount of EUR 6 186 (31.12.2023: 5 856) thousand. Pursuant to the Investment Funds Act, the mandatory shares of LHV Varahaldus as the management company is 0.5% of the number of units in each of the mandatory pension fund managed by it.
As of June 30, 2024, the liquidity portfolio in the amount of EUR 134 631 thousand is reflected in the amortised cost and the loss from the revaluation of the portfolio is refleced in the income statement in the line Impairment losses on loans and bonds in the total amount of EUR 24 thousand. The estimated market value of the securites recorded in the amortised cost as of June 30, is EUR 133 385 thousand.
Hierarchy levels:
-
- Level 1 the price quoted on active market
-
- Level 2 a technique which uses market information as
- input (rates and interest curves of arms-length transactions) 3. Level 3 – other methods (e.g. discounted cash flow
- method) with estimations as input
Interest rate swaps are instruments, where the fair value is determined via the model-based approach by using the inputs available on the active market. The fair value of such non-market derivatives is calculated as a theoretical net present value (NPV), by using independent market parameters and without assuming the presence of any risks or uncertainties. The NPV is discounted by using the risk-free profitability rate available on the market.
As at 30.06.2024 the fair value of corporate loans and overdraft is EUR 82 995 thousand (3.72%) higher than their carrying amount (31.12.2023: 78 899 thousand, 3.90% higher). Loans are issued in the bank's business segments on market conditions. Therefore, the fair value of retail loans does not materially differ from their carrying amount as at 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023. In determining the fair value of loans, considerable management judgements are used (discounted cash flow method with current market interest is used for the valuation). Loans issued are thus categorised under hierarchy level 3.
Lease interest rates offered to customers generally correspond to interest rates prevailing in the market for such products. Considering that the interest rate environment has been relatively stable since the Group started to provide leasing, consequently the fair value of lease agreements does not materially differ from their carrying amount. As significant management judgment is required to determine fair value, leases are classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Leveraged loans, hire-purchase and credit cards granted to customers are of sufficiently short-term nature and they have been issued at market terms, therefore the fair market rate of interest and also the fair value of loans do not change significantly

during the loan term. The fair value level of leveraged loans, hirepurchase, credit cards and consumer loans is 3 as significant judgmental assumptions are used for the valuation process.
Other receivables from customers, along with accrued expenses and other current receivables have been generated in the course of ordinary business and are subject to payment over a short period of time. Their fair value does not thus differ from the carrying amount. These receivables and payables do not bear any interest. The fair value of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables is determined based on hierarchy level 3.
Customer deposits with fixed interest rates are mostly short-term with the deposits priced pursuant to market conditions. The majority of the customer deposits include demand deposits. The fair value of the deposits determined via discounting future cash flows does not thus materially differ from the carrying amount. In determining the fair value of customer deposits, considerable management judgements are used. Customer deposits are thus categorised under hierarchy level 3.
Subordinated loans were issued on market terms and considering the movements in loan and interest market, we can say that the market conditions are similar as they were when issuing the subordinated loans so that the fair value of the loans does not materially differ from their carrying value. In determining the fair value of loans, considerable management judgements are used. Subordinated debt are thus categorised under hierarchy level 3.

Payables to employees consist of unpaid salaries; bonus accruals and vacation pay accrual for the reporting period and the increase in liabilities is caused by the increase in the number of employees during the year. Payments in transit consist of foreign payments and payables to customers related to intermediation of securities transactions. All liabilities, except for financial guarantees, are payable within 12 months and are therefore recognised as current liabilities.

NOTE 17 Capital Management
The goal of the Group's capital management is to:
- ✓ ensure continuity of the Group's business and ability to generate return for its shareholders;
- ✓ maintain a strong capital base supporting the development of business;
- ✓ comply with capital requirements as established by supervision authorities.
The amount of capital that the Group managed as of 30.06.2024 was 609 697 thousand euros (31.12.2023 596 357 thousand euros). The goals of the Group's capital management are set based on both the regulative requirements and additional internal buffer.
The Group follows the general principles in its capital management:
- The Group must be adequately capitalized at all times, ensuring the necessary capital to ensure economic preservation in all situations;
- The main focus of the capital management is on tier 1 own funds, because only tier 1 own funds can absorb losses. All other capital layers in use are dependent of tier 1 own funds volume;
- Capital of the Group can be divided in two: 1) regulative minimum capital and 2) capital buffer held by the Group. In order to reach its long-term economic goals the Group must on one hand strive towards proportional lowering of the regulative minimumcapital (through minimizing risks and high transparency). On the other hand, the Group must strive towards sufficient and conservative capital reserve, which will ensure economic preservation even in the event of severe negative risk scenario;
- The risk appetite set by the Group is an important input to capital management planning and capital goal setting. Higher risk appetite requires marinating higher capital buffer.
