Q1/2025

Oma Savings Bank Group

Interim Report 31 March 2025

Interim Report 31 March 2025 is a translation of the original Finnish version "Osavuosikatsaus 31.3.2025". If discrepancies occur, the Finnish version is dominant.

Oma Savings Bank Group´s Interim Report January-March 2025

  • In January–March, net interest income decreased by 18.3% compared with the same period last year. Net interest income totalled EUR 46.9 (57.4) million.
  • Mortgage portfolio increased by 3.0% during the previous 12 months. Corporate loan portfolio increased by 0.4% during the previous 12 months.
  • Deposit base increased by 2.7% over the past 12 months.
  • In January–March, fee and commission income and expenses (net) decreased mainly due to lower lending commissions compared to the comparison period, 2.6%.
  • In January–March, total operating income decreased by 18.9% compared to the comparison period. In the first quarter, comparable total operating income decreased by 19.8% and was EUR 59.5 (74.3) million.
  • In January–March, total operating expenses grew in total by 31.9%. The growth is mainly explained by the costs of the Company's ongoing extensive risk management development projects, the authority processes and the promotion of a controlled winding down plan related to the non-compliance with the guidelines. In addition, the number of personnel increased compared to the comparison period due to business arrangements, the opening of new branches and the strengthening of the risk management processes. Other operating expenses were in total EUR 22.2 (16.4) million, of which the development costs of the risk management action plan and investigation costs amounted to EUR 5.3 million.
  • Comparable total operating expenses grew by 27.9% in the first quarter and were EUR 32.2 (25.2) million. Of this amount the risk management action plan (the "Noste") amounted to EUR 3.3 million. The measures implemented in the first quarter completed the action plan initiated in the summer of 2024.
  • For January-March, the impairment losses on financial assets were in total EUR -22.3 (-23.1) million. During the reporting period, the Company updated the calculation model for expected credit losses (ECL) as part of a larger operational programme and development of risk control. The total impact of the updated model increased the ECL by approximately EUR 8.5 million. In addition, the amount of impairment losses was impacted by an increase in allowances in the controlled winding down of the portfolio, which had an impact of approximately EUR 5.7 million. In other credit portfolio, impairment losses amounted to approximately EUR 8.1 million, and the development was particularly affected by the overall economic uncertainty.
  • For January-March, profit before taxes was EUR 3.1 (24.7) million and comparable profit before taxes was EUR 4.6 (25.6) million.
  • In the first quarter, cost/income ratio was 57.4 (35.2)% and comparable cost/income ratio was 54.4 (34.1)%.
  • In the first quarter, comparable return on equity (ROE) was 2.5 (15.5)%.
  • Total capital (TC) ratio was 17.7 (15.6)%.

Outlook for 2025 adjusted

OmaSp updated its expected credit loss (ECL) calculation model in the first quarter and made a provision to prepare for possible sanctions following the final inspection report from the FIN-FSA on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing. These had a total one-off impact of approximately EUR -11 million on the results. Overall economic uncertainly has further increased. Therefore, OmaSp maintains its earnings guidance on the Group's comparable profit before taxes to be EUR 65–80 million for the financial year 2025, with a clarification that the figure is expected to be below the mid-point of the range.

Business outlook and earnings guidance are as follows:

The outlook for the Company's business for the financial year 2025 is affected by the decline in market interest rates and the continued high level of costs due to IT investments and system improvements required by risk management and quality processes. In addition, the Company continues to invest in customer experience on different channels. The uncertainty of the operating environment and economic situation affects the development of balance sheet items and comparable profit for the financial year 2025.

Oma Savings Bank Plc provides earnings guidance on comparable profit before taxes for 2025. Earnings guidance is based on the forecast for the entire year, which takes into account the current market and business situation. Forecasts are based on the management's insight into the Group's business development.

We estimate the Group's comparable profit before taxes to be EUR 65–80 million for the financial year 2025, with a clarification that the figure is expected to be below the mid-point of the range (comparable profit before taxes was EUR 86.7 million in the financial year 2024).

CEO's review

High costs and declining market interest rates weighed on the result, work to strengthen OmaSp continues

I had the honour of starting as the CEO of Oma Savings Bank at the end of March. In recent weeks, I have engaged with the bank's personnel, customers, and stakeholders across Finland. These discussions have underscored OmaSp's strong customer relationships, employee commitment, as well as comprehensive range of services, and personalised service model. These elements provide a solid foundation for OmaSp's next phase. It is also clear that we must continue refining our policies and evolving our ways of working. Trust in the Company is rebuilt through actions. Q1/2025 Total capital (TC) ratio 17.7%

The comparable profit before taxes for the first quarter was EUR 4.6 million and the comparable cost/income ratio of 54.4%. Profit and profitability were burdened by increased operating and personnel expenses, as well as lower net interest income due to declining market interest rates.

The increase in costs is primarily attributed to the implementation of the risk management action plan (the "Noste") initiated in summer 2024. The final investments in the project were made as planned in the first quarter, and new operating

models are being integrated into daily operations. Total investments in the Noste project reached EUR 11.6 million over its duration. What is more, we continue to act on the findings of the supervisory assessment.

Net interest income decreased by 18.3% compared to the comparison period, totalling EUR 46.9 million. The decline

is due to fallen market interest rates. The volumes transferred from Handelsbanken have contributed to the development of net interest income as market interest rates have declined.

Fee and commission income and expenses (net) remained nearly at the level of the comparison period, amounting to EUR 14.7 million.

Q1/2025 Comparable cost/income ratio 54.4%

Customer and employee satisfaction at an excellent level

Following the Handelsbanken acquisition, we gained 10,000 new customers last autumn, and the integration has progressed smoothly. We have 48 branches covering all key growth and regional centres in Finland. In January–March, approximately 800 new customer relationships were established organically per month. OmaSp has a strong customer

base of over 200,000. We are committed

to offering services to households and SMEs across our network.

Our customer and employee surveys indicated that satisfaction has remained at the excellent level of previous years. I want to extend my gratitude to our personnel for their exemplary work. Committed and motivated personnel are crucial to OmaSp's future success.

OmaSp's financial position is stable, with a good solvency and liquidity position. The total capital (TC) ratio further strengthened to 17.7% at the end of March. The accumulated equity exceeds EUR 583 million.

I look to the future with confidence. We will continue to develop our operations, invest in our core business, and strengthen the customer experience for both existing and new customers. Our strategy aims for profitable growth.

The mortgage loan portfolio increased by 3.0%, the corporate loan portfolio by 0.4%, and the deposit base by 2.7% from the level of the previous year.

Impairment losses on financial assets totalled EUR -22.3 million in January–March. Approximately one-third was related to the update of the calculation model for expected credit losses (ECL), another third to increased allowances in the portfolio, which is being wound down in a controlled manner, and the remaining third to other impairment losses on the loan portfolio due to the general uncertain economic situation.

Additionally, a provision of EUR 3.0 million was made for the first quarter to prepare for potential sanctions from the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) due to deficiencies identified in the final inspection report on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing. The FIN-FSA's audit covered the period prior to December 2023. Measures to rectify the deficiencies were initiated while the audit was underway last year.

Operating environment

The Finnish economy is recovering from a recession, but according to the forecast of the Bank of Finland, the recovery is modest. Economic recovery is overshadowed by uncertainty in the outlook for the global economy. (1 The year-on-year change in consumer prices calculated by Statistics Finland was 0.5% in March. The change in inflation from one year ago was affected among other things by reductions in the price of electricity, the average interest rate on housing loans and consumer credits. (2 According to the Statistics Finland, bankruptcies and restructuring of debts increased during January–March 2025 compared to the previous year. (3,4

Inflation has slowed at a good pace in early 2025. However, financing conditions are easing slowly due to the impact of past interest rate hikes. The European Central Bank (ECB) is determined to ensure that inflation stabilises sustainably at its 2% medium-term target. During the first quarter of 2025, the European Central Bank lowered all three key ECB interest rates by a total of 0.5 percentage points. (5 During January–March, the quotation of the 12-month Euribor has fallen by 0.1 percentage points. (6

Finland's future economic outlook has weakened, growth is low, and it is slowed by low investment. According to the preliminary calculations of the Bank of Finland, the GDP is projected to increase by 0.8% in 2025 and by 1.8% in 2026. In 2027, economic growth is projected to slow to 1.3%. (1

The extensive tariffs imposed by the United States cause uncertainty in Europe and at the same time have a strong impact on the Finnish economy. Tariffs and uncertainties related to world trade may slow economic growth and private consumption in Finland. (1

The seasonally adjusted saving rate of households grew by 2 percentage points from the previous quarter and was 4.4% in October–December. Disposable income of households grew slightly while consumption expenditure decreased somewhat from the level of the previous quarter. The adjusted disposable income of households grew by 3.6% and adjusted for price changes by 1.8% compared to the quarter last year. The investment rate

decreased slightly compared to the previous quarter and was 8.6%. Majority of the investments in households are directed in housing investments. In October to December 2024, the corporate investment rate decreased by 0.5 percentage points from the previous quarter. (7

According to Statistics Finland, the number of employed people aged 15 to 74 was 13,000 lower in March 2025 and the number of unemployed was 31,000 higher than one year ago. In March, the employment rate was 75.6% (20 to 64 years) and the unemployment rate was 10.1% (15 to 74 years). (8

According to Statistics Finland's preliminary data, the prices of old dwellings in housing companies decreased by 1.4% year-on-year in the whole country in February. Prices of old dwellings in housing companies decreased by 1.7% in the six largest towns and by 0.9% in the rest of Finland in February compared with one year ago. At the same time, the number of sales of old dwellings in blocks of flats and terraced houses made through real estate agents increased by 34% than one year earlier. (9

In March, drawdowns of housing loans amounted to EUR 1.2 billion, which is EUR 230 million more than in March 2024. At the same time, new corporate loans were drawn down by 2.4 billion, which is over twice as much as in March 2024. The average interest rate on new housing loans was 3.06% in March. In March, the annual growth of all loans to households decreased by 0.3% compared to one year ago. The number of corporate loans decreased by 0.2%. Over the 12-month period, the number of households' deposits increased by a total of 2.8%. (10

During the past 12 months, the number of bankruptcies was 9% higher than in the 12 months preceding this period. (3 The number of petitions for restructuring of debts increased by 10.9% in January to March compared to the previous year. (4 During October-December 2024, the cubic volume of granted permits for new buildings decreased by 10% compared to the previous year and was 5.8 million cubic meters. (11

Credit rating and liquidity

In November 2024, S&P Global Ratings (S&P) updated a credit rating of BBB for Oma Savings Bank Plc's long-term issuer credit rating (formerly BBB+). The credit rating agency S&P justifies the downgrade with higher-thanexpected credit loss reserves related to the noncompliance with the guidelines credit portfolio. At the same time, S&P changed the outlook for long-term credit ratings from negative to stable. The stable outlook reflects the credit agency's expectation that the Company has identified development areas and taken corrective measures in the framework of risk management, and that the Company will continue to maintain stable capital through its ability to make profit. The short-term issuer credit rating remained at A-2. In addition, S&P Global Ratings has confirmed an AAA rating for the Company's bond program.

31 Mar 2025 31 Dec 2024
LCR* 264.0% 160.3%
NSFR* 125.9% 118.1%

2) The Company has made adjustments in LCR and NSFR calculations starting from 31 March 2025, having positive impact in the ratios. There has been changes in the calculation methodologies that are now more in line with the liquidity regulation. No changes have been made in the ratios of the previous periods, which means the results are not comparable with the latest 1-3/2025 results.

The Group's Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) remained at a good level, standing at 264.0% at the end of the first quarter. Also, the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) remained at a good level and was 125.9%.

According to the Bank of Finland's forecast, the Finnish economy is recovering from a recession. (1 However, economic growth is still modest in the near future and the recovery is slow due to the uncertainty of the global situation and the operating environment of the Finnish economy. The recovery is slowed down especially by the low level of investment. The weak economic situation and domestic deposit competition put pressure on the development of deposit purchasing.

Market interest rates, which continued to decline during the first quarter, curbed financing costs while the general market situation remained challenging. Despite the trade policy challenges that emerged in the early part of the year and their impact on the financial markets, the Company's

liquidity remained at a stable level. During the second quarter, one senior bond of EUR 200 million matures, and the Company has no other significant maturity concentrations during 2025.

Result 1–3 / 2025

For the first quarter, the Group's profit before taxes was EUR 3.1 (24.7) million and the profit for the period was EUR 2.4 (19.9) million. The cost/income ratio was 57.4 (35.2)%.

Comparable profit before taxes amounted to EUR 4.6 (25.6) million in the first quarter and the comparable cost/income ratio was 54.4 (34.1)%. The comparable profit has been adjusted for the net income on financial assets and liabilities as well as costs incurred in the investigation of non-compliance with the guidelines and one-off expenses related to business arrangements.

Income

Total operating income was EUR 60.1 (74.1) million. Total operating income decreased 18.9% compared to the comparable period. Comparable operating income was

EUR 59.5 (74.3) million, a decrease of 19.8% compared to the previous year. Net income on financial assets and liabilities of EUR 0.5 (-0.2) million has been adjusted from the operating income as an item affecting comparability.

Net interest income decreased by 18.3%, totalling EUR 46.9 (57.4) million. During the first quarter, interest income decreased by 17.0%, totalling EUR 75.2 (90.7) million.

During the reporting period, the average margin of the loan portfolio has remained almost unchanged.

Interest expenses decreased by 14.9%, totalling EUR 28.4 (33.3) million during the first quarter. The average interest on deposits paid to the Company's customers was 0.84 (1.07)% at the end of the period.

Operating expenses were in total EUR 34.2 (26.0) million and they increased by 31.9% compared to the previous year's corresponding period. The expenses of the risk management development project "Noste" amounted to EUR 3.3 million in the first quarter. For the reporting period, expenses affecting comparability were recorded in total of EUR 2.0 million from the promotion plan of controlled winding down. In the comparison period, expenses included EUR 0.8 million related to the acquisition of Handelsbanken. Comparable operating

expenses increased by 27.9% and were EUR 32.2 (25.2) million.

Personnel expenses increased by 34.1% and were EUR 9.9 (7.4) million. At the end of the period, the number of employees was 620 (471), of which 40 (66) worked under fixed-term contract. The increase in personnel expenses was affected by the transfer of Handelsbanken's personnel to the Company, the opening of new branches and the strengthening of risk management processes.

Other operating expenses increased by 35.5% to EUR 22.2 (16.4) million. The item includes authority fees, office, IT, PR and marketing costs and expenses stemming from the business premises in own use. The increase in costs compared to the comparison period was affected by costs incurred in promoting risk management development projects, authority processes and a resolution plan for the controlled winding down, which have been recorded in total EUR 5.3 million. In addition, a provision of EUR 3.0 million was recorded for the first quarter to prepare for sanctions imposed by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) due to deficiencies identified in the final inspection report on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing.

Depreciation, amortisation and impairments on tangible and intangible assets were EUR 2.1 (2.2) million.

During January–March, impairment losses on financial assets (net) were in total EUR -22.3 (-23.1) million. During the reporting period, the Company updated the calculation model for expected credit losses (ECL) as part of a larger operational programme and the development of risk control. The total impact of the updated model increased the ECL by approximately EUR 8.5 million. In addition, the amount of impairment losses was impacted by an increase in allowances in the controlled winding down of the portfolio, which had an impact of approximately EUR 5.7 million. In other credit portfolio, impairment losses amounted to approximately EUR 8.1 million, and the development was particularly affected by overall economic uncertainty. During the comparison period, an allowance of EUR 19.5 million was recorded for non-compliance with the guidelines based on the management's judgement.

During the first quarter, the amount of expected credit losses (ECL) remained at the level of the comparison period and was EUR -21.2 (-21.9) million. Of the expected credit losses, EUR 21.2 million was allocated to receivables from customers and off-balance sheet items.

The net amount of realised credit losses remained at the level of the comparison period and was EUR 1.2 (1.2) million in the first quarter.

At the end of the reporting period, the Company has a total of EUR 2.6 million in additional allowances and fair value adjustments recognised in the balance sheet based on the management's judgement. Additional allowances are targeted at stage 2.

The development of the loan portfolio during the early part of the year was particularly affected by the weak market situation, the planned abandonment of individual larger customers, and the Company's focus on taking over customers transferred from Handelsbanken.

The average size of loans issued over the past 12 months was approximately EUR 105,000.

The Company's ongoing action plan

  • Establishment of the Board Risk Committee and adoption of the charter of the Risk Committee
  • Clarification and documentation of the internal audit mandate
  • Developing personnel risk management
  • Additional resourcing of data protection activities and development of data protection processes
  • Updating risk area-specific strategies and limits under the new risk taxonomy and strengthening the limit framework to be reported to the Board of Directors
  • Updating the calculation model for expected credit losses
  • Documentation and addition of the 2nd line of defence controls for liquidity and market risks

The implemented measures have completed the action plan which was launched in the summer, and the development activities of the operational programme have been transferred to the monitoring of the Company's normal development activities.

Progress of key development projects

In 2024, the Company launched a development project for loan, collateral and customer information systems, which updates the systems and adds automation and control to the customer information system, among other things. The aim of the system project is to improve efficiency, reduce the amount of manual work and improve credit quality controls. The key objective of the project is to further develop excellent customer experience in all service channels. Approximately EUR 10 million will be invested in the project during 2024–2027 and the development project will be carried out in cooperation with Oy Samlink Ab and Evitec Oy.

In addition, the Company is currently undertaking reforms of regulatory reporting to improve reporting systems together with partners.

Supervisor's audits

The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) has conducted following inspections targeted to the Company during 2024:

  • Liquidity risk management and reporting review date 30 June 2024
  • Prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing – review date before 21 December 2023
  • Supervisor's review review date 30 June 2024

The Company has announced the findings of the supervisor's review and liquidity risk management and reporting in the Financial Statements Release for Q4/2024. The audits have identified a wide range of development targets related to the issues being reviewed and the Company's operations. The findings of the audits carried out by the supervisor and the development areas identified by the Company itself support each other and are largely consistent. In summer 2024, the Company announced the launch of an extensive action plan to remedy the shortcomings previously identified by the Company itself, in particular to improve its risk management processes and other control processes. The Company has taken corrective actions, especially in the second half of 2024, that have already been able to correct the findings mentioned in the supervisor's audit reports.

Inspection on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing

In April 2025, the Company announced that it has received the final inspection report from the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) on anti-money

laundering and terrorist financing. In its report, the FIN-FSA highlighted following key findings from the review period before December 2023:

  • Deficiencies in the principles and procedures for assessing the money laundering risk of the customer relationship
  • Risks related to the customer relationship have not been sufficiently considered in the risk-based assessment
  • Deficiencies in the procedures for knowing the customers
  • Deficiencies in keeping customer information up to date
  • Deficiencies in obtaining and retaining information in accordance with the Money Laundering Act
  • Deficiencies in enhanced due diligence for high-risk customers

All identified deficiencies are broad entities, and the Company initiated measures to correct the deficiencies already during the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority's (FIN-FSA) inspection in 2024. The development of processes to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing continues. At the same time, the Company prepared for possible sanctions imposed by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) as a result of the inspection and has made a provision of EUR 3 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Ongoing investigations by the authorities

In May 2024, the Company announced that the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) had made a preliminary investigation request to the police for securities market offences related to the Company. The investigation is proceeding according to the schedules of the authorities and at the time of reporting, the Company does not have any additional information related to the matter.

In June 2024, the Company announced that it would file a request for an investigation with the police in relation to non-compliance with the guidelines. This investigation is

proceeding according to the schedules of the authorities and the Company will report on the progress of the investigation in accordance with its ongoing disclosure policy.

At the end of the year, the Company filed an investigation request with police regarding suspicion of breach of banking secrecy regulation in a public debate. At the time of the reporting period, the Company has no further information in this regard.

Authorisation of the Board of Directors to resolve on a share issue, the transfer of own shares and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares

The AGM decided, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on the issuance of shares or transfer of the Company's shares and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act, subject to the following conditions:

  • Shares and special rights can be issued or disposed of in one or more instalments, either in return for payment or free of charge.
  • The total number of shares to be issued under the authorisation, including shares acquired on the basis of special rights, cannot exceed 3,000,000 shares, which corresponds to approximately 9% of the Company's total number of shares on the day of the AGM as at the notice of the meeting.
  • The Board of Directors decides on all the terms and conditions of the issuance of shares and special rights entitling to shares. The authorisation concerns both

the issuance of new shares and the transfer of own shares. A share issue and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares include the right to deviate from the pre-emptive right of shareholders if there is a weighty financial reason for the Company (special issue). A special share issue may be free of charge only if there is a particularly weighty financial reason from the point of view of the Company and in the interest of all its shareholders.

The authorisation is valid until the end of the next AGM, but not later than 30 June 2026. The authorisation revokes previous authorisations given by the AGM to decide on a share issue, as well as the option rights and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares.

Authorisation of the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of own shares

Final inspection report on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing

More information on the observations and the Company's preparations is given in the section Supervisor's audits.

There are no known events after the end of the reporting period that would necessitate additional disclosure or materially impact the Company's financial position.

Dividend policy and dividend payment

The Company aims to pay a steady and growing dividend, at least 20% of net income. The Company's Board of Directors assesses the balance between the dividend or capital return to be distributed and the amount of own funds required by the Company's capital adequacy requirements and target on an annual basis and makes a proposal on the amount of dividend or capital return to be distributed.

Financial goals

The Company has financial goals set by the Board of Directors for growth, profitability, return on equity and capital adequacy. Considering the general economic situation and the changes OmaSp has implemented in its operations, the Board of Directors will evaluate the need to update the Company's financial goals in connection with its strategy. The current financial goals are as follows:

Growth: 10–15 percent annual growth in total operating income under the current market conditions.

Profitability: Cost/income ratio less than 45 percent.

Return on equity (ROE): Long-term return on equity (ROE) over 16 percent.

Capital adequacy: Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio at least 2 percentage points above regulatory requirement.

Financial reporting in 2025

The Company will publish financial information in 2025 as follows:

4 Aug 2025 Interim Report 1-6/2025

3 Nov 2025 Interim Report 1-9/2025

Outlook and earnings guidance for the 2025

OmaSp updated its expected credit loss (ECL) calculation model in the first quarter and made a provision to prepare for possible sanctions following the final inspection report from the FIN-FSA on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing. These had a total one-off impact of approximately EUR -11 million on the results. Overall economic uncertainly has further increased. Therefore, OmaSp maintains its earnings guidance on the Group's comparable profit before taxes to be EUR 65–80 million for the financial year 2025, with a clarification that the figure is expected to be below the mid-point of the range.

Business outlook and earnings guidance are as follows:

The outlook for the Company's business for the financial year 2025 is affected by the decline in market interest rates and the continued high level of costs due to IT investments and system improvements required by risk management and quality processes. In addition, the Company continues to invest in customer experience on different channels. The uncertainty of the operating environment and economic situation affects the development of balance sheet items and comparable profit for the financial year 2025.

Oma Savings Bank Plc provides earnings guidance on comparable profit before taxes for 2025. Earnings guidance is based on the forecast for the entire year, which takes into account the current market and business situation. Forecasts are based on the management's insight into the Group's business development.

We estimate the Group's comparable profit before taxes to be EUR 65–80 million for the financial year 2025, with a clarification that the figure is expected to be below the mid-point of the range (comparable profit before taxes was EUR 86.7 million in the financial year 2024).

Capital adequacy

The total capital (TC) ratio of Oma Savings Bank Group increased and was 17.7 (15.6)% at the end of the period. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital (CET1) ratio was 16.5 (14.4)%, exceeding by 5.7 percentage points the minimum level of the medium-term financial goal set by the Company's Board (at least 2 percentage points above the regulatory requirement).

Risk-weighted assets decreased from the level of the comparison period and was EUR 3,218.6 (3,662.7) million at the end of the first quarter. The reduction was largely due to a decrease in exposures. In addition, the CRR3 changes that took effect at the beginning of the year reduced risk-weighted assets. In particular, the riskweighted amount of operational risk decreased. Oma Savings Bank Group applies the standardised approach in the capital requirement calculation for credit risk and for operational risk the basic indicator approach. The capital requirement for market risk is calculated using the standard method for foreign exchange position. In November 2024, the Company announced that it will suspend its IRB application process until further notice.

At the end of the review period, the capital structure of the Group was strong and consisted mostly of Common Equity Tier 1 capital (CET1). The retained earnings for the financial year have not been included in CET1, unlike in the comparison period. On the basis of the financial statements confirmed for 2024, the proposed amount of dividends not yet paid at the reporting date has been deducted from the retained earnings by EUR 11.9 million. The Group's own funds (TC) of EUR 570.3 (570.0) million exceeded by EUR 151.4 million the total capital requirement for own funds EUR 418.9 (476.7) million. Taking into account the indicative additional capital recommendation, the surplus of own funds was EUR 119.2 million. The Group´s leverage ratio was 7.0 (6.8)% at the end of the period.

The main items in the capital adequacy calculation (1,000 euros) 31 Mar 2025 31 Dec 2024 31 Mar 2024

The total capital requirement for banks' own funds consists of the Pillar I minimum capital requirement (8.0%) and various buffer requirements. Buffer requirements are, among other things, the capital conservation buffer (2.5%) set by the Credit Institution Act, the discretionary SREP requirement according to Pillar II, the countercyclical buffer requirement and the systemic risk buffer.

The SREP requirement 1.5% based on the supervisory authority's estimate imposed by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority's (FIN-FSA) for Oma Savings Bank Plc is valid until 29 June 2025. The SREP requirement is possible to be partially covered by Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital in addition to Common Equity Tier 1. According to the overall assessment based on risk indicators, there are no grounds for applying a countercyclical buffer, and thus the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) maintained the requirement of countercyclical buffer at its basic level of 0%. The systemic risk buffer requirement of 1.0% strengthens the risk-bearing capacity of the banking sector. In addition to the capital requirements, the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) issued an indicative additional capital recommendation for own funds based on the Finnish Act on Credit Institutions for Oma Savings Bank Plc. The indicative additional capital recommendation of 1.0%, covered by Common Equity Tier 1 capital, is valid until further notice.

As part of the ongoing supervisory review and evaluation process (SREP), the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA), by its decision of 14 February 2025, imposed two discretionary additional capital requirements on the Company in accordance with Chapter 11, Section 2 of the Credit Institutions Act. The additional Tier 1 capital requirement (P2R/SREP) for the Company will be 2.25%

and the additional Tier 2 capital requirement (P2R-LR) will be 0.25% as of 30 June 2025 and are valid until 30 June 2028 at most. The discretionary additional requirements are replacing the existing discretionary capital requirements (the SREP requirement of 1.50% and the additional Tier 2 capital requirement of 0.25%). At least three-quarters of the SREP requirement must be covered by Tier 1 capital and of this at least three-quarters by Common Equity Tier 1 capital. The additional Tier 2 capital requirement (P2R-LR) must be covered by Tier 1 capital.

The minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) set by the Financial Stability Authority for Oma Savings Bank Plc under the Resolution Act consists of a requirement based on overall risk (9.5%) and a requirement based on the total amount of liabilities used in calculating the leverage ratio (3.0%). In the situation on 31 March 2025, Oma Savings Bank Group fulfils the set requirement with its own funds. The Financial Stability Authority set an updated level for the Company for the minimum amount of own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL requirement) on 21 March 2025 and revoked the decision issued on 17 April 2024. According to the new decision, the updated MREL consists of a total risk-based requirement of 20.88% (previously 20.88%) and a requirement based on the total amount of exposures used in the calculation of the leverage ratio, which is 7.89% (previously 7.82%), of which the higher euro requirement must be met and thus corresponds to the total risk-based requirement of 20.88%. The new MREL requirement must be fulfilled at the latest on 17 April 2026 (previously 17 April 2027). In accordance with the financing plan confirmed by the Board of Directors, the Company is preparing to meet the future MREL requirement even before it enters into force.

Note 1 Accounting principles for the Interim Report

1. About the accounting principles

The Group's parent Company is Oma Savings Bank Plc, whose domicile is in Seinäjoki and head office is in Lappeenranta, Valtakatu 32, 53100 Lappeenranta. Copies of the Financial Statements, Financial Statements Release, Interim and Half-Year Financial Reports are available on the bank's website www.omasp.fi.

Oma Savings Bank Group is formed as follows:

Subsidiary

• Real estate company Lappeenrannan Säästökeskus holding 100%

Associated companies

  • GT Invest Oy holding 48.7%
  • City Kauppapaikat Oy holding 45.3%

Joint ventures

  • Figure Taloushallinto Oy holding 25%
  • Deleway Projects Oy holding 49%
  • SAV-Rahoitus Oyj holding 48.2%

Joint operations

• Housing company Seinäjoen Oma Savings Bank house holding 30.5%

The Interim Report is drawn up in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard. The accounting principles for the Interim Report are the same as for the 2024 Financial Statements.

The figures for the Interim Report are presented in thousands of euros unless otherwise specified. The figures in the notes are rounded off, so the combined sum of single figures may deviate from the grand total presented in a table or a calculation. The accounting and functional currency of the Group and its companies is the euro.

The Board of Directors has approved the Interim Report 1 January – 31 March 2025 in its meeting on 5 May 2025.

2. Changes to the accounting principles

Standards, standard changes or interpretations that entered into force on 1 January 2025 have no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The IFRS 18 standard published by the IASB effective from 1 January 2027 is expected to have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. The IFRS 18 standard brings regulatory changes to the presentation of the income statement and management's performance indicators into the scope of the audit. Other future standards or standard changes published by the IASB are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. Accounting principles and uncertainties related to estimates requiring management's judgement

The preparation of this Interim Report in accordance with IFRS has required certain estimates and assumptions from the Group's management that affect the number of items presented in the Interim Report and the information provided in the note. The management's key estimates concern the future and key uncertainties about the reporting date. They relate to, among other things, fair value assessment, impairment of financial assets, loans and other assets, investment assets and tangible and intangible assets. Although the estimates are based on the management's current best view, it is possible that the realisations differ from the estimates used in Interim Report.

The uncertainties contained in the accounting principles that require management's judgement and those contained in the estimates are described in the 2024 Financial Statements. Uncertainty in the economic environment due to the effects of inflation and the changes in interest rates may bring changes to the estimates presented in the Financial Statements that require management judgement.

The application of the impairment losses on financial assets model under IFRS 9 requires the management to make estimates and assumptions about whether the credit risk associated with the financial instrument has increased significantly since the initial recognition and requires forward-looking information to be considered in the recognition of on-demand credit losses.

The Company has updated its expected credit loss (ECL) calculation model during the first quarter as part of a larger operational programme and the development of risk control.

Determining fair values in business combination requires judgement on the part of the Company's management regarding the recording of the transferred consideration and identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and valuing them at fair value.

In December 2021, in connection with the acquisition of Eurajoen Savings Bank's business operations, a liability measured at fair value through profit or loss, totalling EUR 6.5 million, was recognised concerning the five-year fixedterm liability of Eurajoen Savings Bank as a credit institution member leaving the consortium of Savings Bank. During the reporting period, the amount of the liability measured in profit or loss is unchanged and at the end of the reporting period, EUR 2.7 million liability remains.

In connection with the acquisition of Liedon Savings Bank's business in March 2023, a liability at fair value through profit or loss, totalling EUR 15.0 million, was recognised concerning the five-year fixed-term liability of Liedon Savings Bank as a credit institution member leaving the consortium of Savings Bank. During the reporting period, the amount of the liability measured in profit or loss is unchanged and at the end of the reporting period, EUR 10.3 million liability remains.

The portfolio of receivables transferred in connection with Handelsbanken's business acquisition, carried out in September 2024, was measured at fair value in connection with the acquisition. In the end of the reporting period, the fair value adjustment is unchanged and at the end of the reporting period, EUR 2.6 million remains.

Risk management strategy

The Company's overall risk management system is described in the risk management strategy confirmed by the Board of Directors. The Company's risk management strategy was updated during the financial year 2024, and the mandate of the independent risk control function has been increased in the updated strategy. The key areas in the risk management strategy of the Company are:

  • A unified risk taxonomy
  • Describing an integrated documentation structure for risk control
  • Description of committee work for each main risk type
  • Description of escalation procedures and linking them to committee and board work
  • Risk control mandate for opposing decision motions, requests for clarifications and providing observations to the business
  • Obligation of risk control to report deviations to the Board of Directors and Internal Audit

The risk management strategy describes all risk categories company-wide, covering the most key arrangements to ensure that the observations and findings of independent risk control are regularly discussed by committees consisting of business operations and independent functions. The practical implementation and documentation of the risk management strategy is facilitated by the uniform control and observation recording systems.

1. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk can be defined as the difference between the balance of incoming and ongoing cash flows. The risk may materialise if the Company is unable to meet its outstanding payment obligations or an acceptable balance cannot be achieved within the tolerable cost limits. The Company's largest liquidity risks arise from the maturity difference between borrowing and lending and from the refinancing of larger bonds.

The management of the Company's liquidity risk is based on the Company's ability to procure sufficient cash that is competitive in price in both the short and long term. An important part of liquidity risk management is planning the Company's financial position for different times in the future. Liquidity risk management is supported by active risk management, balance sheet and cash flow monitoring, and internal calculation models. Constant monitoring of liquidity is important for the Company to be able to manage cash outflows. The Company's liquidity risk is also managed by monitoring and forecasting changes in market factors and market developments. If the forecasts show that market liquidity is declining, the Company may set stricter internal limits for liquidity risk management. Liquidity management also includes liquidity reserve management to ensure that the Company has sufficient liquid assets available. The purpose of the Company's liquidity reserve is, under exceptional circumstances, to cover the Company's maturing payment obligations for at least one month. In addition, liquidity reserve planning prepares for unexpected events such as deteriorating market conditions.

Market interest rates, which continued to fall during the first quarter, curbed financing costs while the general market situation remained challenging. Despite the trade policy challenges that emerged in the early part of the year and their impact on the financial markets, the Company's liquidity risk remained at a stable level. During the second quarter, EUR 200 million senior bond matures and the Company has no other significant financial concentrations during 2025. The Company's main measures of liquidity risk assessment are the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). The Group's LCR remained at a good level, standing at 264.0%, at the end of the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the NSFR was 125.9%. The Company has refined the LCR and NSFR calculations as of 31 March 2025. Changes in the interpretation of calculation parameters that improve key figures have been specified to meet regulatory requirements. The key figures for the comparison periods have not been revised to correspond to the new calculation, so they are not comparable with the key figures for 1–3/2025.

2. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a contracting party to a financial instrument will not be able to meet its obligations, thereby causing the other party a financial loss. Oma Savings Bank Plc's credit risk primarily consists of exposures secured by immovable property, retail exposures and corporate loans. The goal of credit risk management is to limit the profit and loss and capital adequacy effects of risks resulting from customer exposures to an acceptable level. Credit risk management and procedures have been described in Note G2 of the 2024 Financial Statements.

The recovery of the Finnish economy has been slow, which has continued to be reflected in customers' payment difficulties, an increase in short arrears, insolvent credits and expected credit losses. In addition, the increase in volumes has been significantly affected by previously reported events related to non-compliance with the guidelines and the measures taken as a result. The Company has monitored the development of the quality of the credit portfolio in an enhanced manner, both in terms of credit entities related to non-compliance with the guidelines and in terms of the whole credit portfolio.The Company has developed and improved processes at various stages of the credit life cycle and, as part of the credit process development project, moved to a centralised credit decision model. Development measures are still ongoing.

The share of insolvent responsibilities of total loan portfolio increased and was 7.7 (6.5)%. The proportion of the portfolio of non-compliance with the guidelines was 2.7%. The Company monitors the development of possible payment delays and repayment exemption applications as well as the development of values of collaterals. The share of the forbearances increased and was 2.7 (2.5)% at the end of the first quarter. Non-performing exposures with forbearances was 1.3 (1.1)% and the proportion of a portfolio related to non-compliance with the guidelines was 0.3%. In addition to factors related to uncertainty in the economy, the amount of forbearances has been affected by previously reported events related to non-compliance with the guidelines.

Credit losses of EUR 1.2 million were recorded during the first quarter.

The Company's previously reported action plan to reduce defaulted exposures is still ongoing.

2.1 Allowances based on the management's judgement

At the end of the first quarter, the Company has allowances based on management's judgement and fair value adjustments totalling EUR 2.6 million.

In the first quarter, a provision of EUR 3 million was made to prepare for the sanctions imposed by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) due to deficiencies identified in the final inspection report from the FIN-FSA on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing. The deficiencies identified in the report are broad entities and the Company has initiated measures to address the deficiencies already while the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority audit is ongoing in 2024. Process development continues.

The extensive action plan launched by the Company in the financial year 2024 and a large-scale risk management and quality control development project, which is described in more detail under the development measures, have been completed, and the ongoing development activities of the action plan have been transferred to the normal monitoring of the Company's development activities.

The Company has updated its expected credit loss (ECL) calculation model during the first quarter as part of a larger operational programme and the development of risk control. The updated model has also been based on independent party validation of the ECL model and the observations raised in it. The total impact of the model update on the amount of ECL was approximately EUR 8.5

million. Of the increase, EUR 7.6 million was allocated to stage 3 liabilities.

2.2 Distribution by risk class

The Company classifies all its customers into risk classes based on information available on the counterparty. The classification uses its own internal assessment and external credit rating data. Monitoring is continuous and can lead to a transfer from one risk class to another.

In lending, risk concentration may occur, for example, when the loan portfolio includes large amounts of loans and other liabilities:

  • to a single counterparty
  • to groups that are made up of individual counterparties or entities tied to them
  • to specific sectors
  • against specific collateral
  • whose maturity is the same or
  • whose product/instrument is the same.

3. Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk in the banking book forms the majority of the Company's interest rate risk. The interest rate risk arises from differences in the interest rate levels and maturities of assets and liabilities. In line with the Company's business model, the majority of lending is linked to variable market rates, with borrowing being mainly fixed rate. Due to the structure of the Company's balance sheet, the net interest income decreases as market interest rates fall and increases as market interest rates rise. In addition, market interest rates affect the market prices of the securities in the investment portfolio. The amount of interest rate risk is reported regularly to the Board of Directors, which has set an upper limit for the interest rate risk. The interest rate risk arising from the structure of the balance sheet is mainly hedged by interest rate swaps, which improve the interest margin as market interest rates fall. The Company can acquire hedges to manage its deposit funding and bond interest rate risk. In addition, the Company uses interest rate swaps to protect

against fluctuations in the value of the market interest rates of the investment portfolio. The Company's systematic interest rate risk management balances the interest rate bases on receivables and liabilities and reduces fluctuations in interest margin as market interest rates change.

During the first quarter of 2025, the European Central Bank continued to lower the deposit rates by a total of 0.5 percentage points, which was also reflected in decreased Euribor rates in the market. Fallen market interest rates are reflected in reduced interest rates for banks in the coming years compared to the previous two years. Changes in market interest rates also affect the Company's interest rate sensitivities. Despite the trade policy challenges that emerged in the early part of the year and their impact on the financial markets, the Company's interest rate risk position remained stable during the first quarter.

The table shows the total amount of exposure of the five largest customer entities and its share of Tier 1 Equity. Different customer groups may include the same individual customer relationships, i.e. the total exposure of different customer groups may include the same individual customer exposure. Total exposure of customer groups is presented on two different lines. The line "Sum" adds up the exposure of all customer entities. The line "Total exposure of customer groups" shows the total amount of exposure so that the individual customer's exposures are calculated only once. If the lines match, there are no identical individual customers within the customer entities. Adjustments include acceptable credit risk mitigation techniques and exemptions in accordance with part four.

Loans and receivables and off-balance sheet commitments by risk rating and credit risk concentrations

Risk rating 1: Low-risk items are considered to include the Company's internal credit rating of AAA level private, corporate, housing association and other customers and AAA-AA+ level agricultural customers.

Risk rating 2: Reasonable risk items include the Company's internal credit rating of AA-B+ level private customers, AA-A+ level corporate, housing associations and other customers and AA-A level agricultural customers.

Risk rating 3: Increased risk items include the Company's internal credit rating of B-C-level private customers and A-B-level corporate and housing associations, as well as B+-B-level agricultural and other customers

Risk rating 4: The highest risk items are considered to be the Company's internal credit rating of D-level private customers, C-level corporate and housing associations, C-D-level agricultural customers, C-D-level other customers and defaulted customers.

The Company has updated the definition of "Other" customers' risk rating 1 to include only AAA level customers in the future. In the past, risk rating 1 has also included AA-level customers and the figures are thus not comparable to, for example, the reported financial statements for 2024. The comparison figures for the table for the period 31 December 2024 have been calculated retrospectively in accordance with the new definition.

The 'No rating' item includes loans and debt securities for which the Company has not defined credit ratings or for which there are no external credit ratings available.

The increase in the amount of the loss allowance has been affected by updated calculation model during the first quarter, which resulted in an increase in the amount of the stage 3 loss allowance in particular in the entire portfolio and contractual entries based on the management's judgement.

4. Operational risk

Operational risk includes, for example, risks included in manual processes and internal controls. During the quarter, the extensive development programme launched in 2024 was continued to prevent similar risks. The development programme continued during the reporting period as planned.

The Company's another essential source of operational risk is cyber risks. The operational environment has changed in recent years and the risk level of information security has significantly increased from before and cyberattacks against Finnish financial actors continue. The IT-risk is protected with many different methods and protection against cyberattacks applies not only to the IT environment but also to the entire personnel. Cyber threats and other risks, such as electrical and telecommunications disruptions have been surveyed continuously in cooperation with service providers to ensure that the Company is well prepared in the event of a possible disruption. The Company has updated its own preparedness measures and operating guidelines by assessing various threat scenarios and their probabilities and impacts. So far, the effects on the Company have been very limited.

In addition to these, financial crime development measures for operational risks have progressed and resources have been increased. The development has been geared towards personnel training and system support has been improved.

Share savings plan OmaOsake for employees

On 29 February 2024, Oma Savings Bank's Board of Directors established an employee share savings plan ("OmaOsake") for all employees. By encouraging employees to acquire and own shares in the Company, the Company seeks to align the objectives of shareholders and employees in order to increase the value of the Company in the long term. The aim is also to support employee motivation and commitment as well as the Company's corporate culture. The OmaOsake consists of annually commencing plan periods, each with a 12-month savings period followed by a holding period of approximately two years. At the end of the holding period, additional shares will be issued to participants based on performance criteria. Participants have the opportunity to receive one free matching share (gross) per two savings shares or one savings share, depending on the achievement of the performance criteria. If the performance criteria are not fulfilled, participants will receive one matching share per three savings shares. As a rule, the receipt of the matching shares is subject to continued employment and holding of savings shares for the holding period ending 31 March 2027. The performance criteria for earning matching shares are based on comparable return on equity and comparable cost/income ratio. The potential reward will be paid partly in shares and cash after the end of the holding period. The cash pro-portion is intended to cover taxes and statutory social security contributions arising from the reward. The matching shares are freely transferable after they have been recorded on the participant's book-entry account. During the 2024–2027 plan period, the OmaOsake will be offered to approximately 440 employees including members of the Management Team and the CEO. Approximately 60% of the personnel participated in the share savings plan.

On 28 February 2025, the Board of Directors of Oma Savings Bank Plc decided to launch a new term in the OmaOsake share savings plan for all employees. The details of the new programming period correspond to the previous period. Participants have the opportunity to receive one free matching share (gross) per two or one savings share, depending on the achievement of the performance criteria. If the performance criteria are not met, participants will receive one matching share per three savings shares. As a rule, the receipt of the matching shares is subject to continued employment and holding of savings shares for the holding period ending 31 March 2028. For certain people working in risk-taking positions, fees are paid in a delayed manner according to financial sector legislation, with additional shares being paid to participants after the end of the ownership period in approximately four years in five installments. In this case, the payment of the reward instalment is followed by a one-year waiting period, in which case the participant cannot dispose of the shares paid as reward. The second saving period starts on 1 April 2025 and ends on 31 March 2026. The OmaOsake 2025-2028 program was offered to approximately 600 employees including the members of the management team and the CEO. Approximately 36% of the personnel participated in the program.

guidelines issued by the European Banking Authority (EBA). Certain technical revisions were also made.

Authorisation of the Board of Directors to resolve on a share issue, the transfer of own shares and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares

The AGM decided, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on the issuance of shares or transfer of the Company's shares and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act, subject to the following conditions:

  • Shares and special rights can be issued or disposed of in one or more instalments, either in return for payment or free of charge.
  • The total number of shares to be issued under the authorisation, including shares acquired on the basis of special rights, cannot exceed 3,000,000 shares, which corresponds to approximately 9% of the Company's total number of shares on the day of the AGM as at the notice of the meeting.
  • The Board of Directors decides on all terms and conditions related to the issuance of shares. The authorisation concerns both the issuance of new shares and the transfer of own shares. A share issue and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares include the right to deviate from the pre-emptive right of shareholders if there is a weighty financial reason for the Company (special issue). A special share issue may be free of charge only if there is a particularly weighty financial reason from the point of view of the Company and in the interest of all its shareholders.

The authorisation is valid until the end of the next AGM, but not later than 30 June 2026. The authorisation revokes previous authorisations given by the AGM to decide on a share issue, as well as the option rights and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares.

The AGM decided, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the Company's own shares with funds belonging to the Company's free equity under the following conditions:

• Maximum number of 1,000,000 own shares may be repurchased, representing approximately 3% of the Company's total shares according to the situation on the date of the notice of the meeting, however, in a manner that the number of own shares held by the Company does not exceed 10% of the Company's total shares of the Company at any time. This amount includes the own shares held by the Company itself and its subsidiaries within the meaning of Chapter 15, Section 11 (1) of the Finnish Companies Act.

The Board of Directors is authorised to decide how to acquire own shares. Shares purchased by the Company may be held by it, cancelled or transferred. The Board of Directors decides on other matters related to the repurchasing of own shares. The authorisation is valid until the closing of the next AGM, but not later than 30 June 2026.

Final inspection report on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing

On 4 April 2025, the Company announced the findings of the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority's (FIN-FSA) final inspection report on money laundering and terrorist financing and on the Company's actions, based on this.

lndependent Auditor's Report on Review of Consolidated Interim Report of Oma Savings Bank Plc

To the Board of Directors of Oma Savings Bank Plc

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated interim report of Oma Savings Bank Plc which comprise the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2025, condensed consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the three months ended 31 March 2025 and notes to the condensed interim information. The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the condensed consolidated interim report in accordance with IAS 34 "lnterim Financial Reporting" standard and other regulations governing the preparation of interim financial statements in Finland. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with lnternational Standards on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 "Review of lnterim Financial Information Performed by the

lndependent 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 lnternational Standards on Auditing 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 consolidated interim report of Oma Savings Bank Plc as at 31 March 2025 and for the three month period ended 31 March 2025 has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 lnterim Financial Reporting standard and other regulations governing the preparation of interim financial statements in Finland.
