Endorsement and Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Síminn hf. and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "Síminn" or the "Company") for the period 1 January to 31 March 2025 are prepared and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for Interim Financial Statements (IAS 34) as adopted by the EU. The Financial Statements are neither audited or reviewed by the Company's auditors.

Net loss for the first three months of the year amounted to ISK 188 million, compared to profit of ISK 171 million for the same period in 2024. Total sales for the first three months of the year amounted to ISK 7.173 million according to the Income Statement, compared to ISK 6.575 million for the same period in 2024. Total assets amounted to ISK 42.135 million and total equity amounted to ISK 16.916 million according to the Statement of Financial Position. The Company's equity ratio was 40,1%.

On 18 February, Síminn hf. published its financial guidance for the year 2025. The EBITDA forecast was ISK 7.0–7.4 billion, and the EBIT forecast was ISK 3.6–4.0 billion. On 26 February, the Supreme Court of Iceland issued a ruling in the case between Síminn and the Icelandic Competition Authority, upholding the Authority's decision no. 25/2020. A split Supreme Court thereby overturned the rulings of both the District Court of Reykjavík and the National Court, which had previously annulled the decision. Síminn was fined ISK 400 million, which has been expensed in the company's accounts and paid. In light of the Supreme Court's ruling, Síminn has updated its EBITDA forecast to ISK 6.6–7.0 billion and its EBIT forecast to ISK 3.2–3.6 billion for the year 2025. Additionally, damages relating to the outcome of three legal cases, totalling ISK 61 million, were expensed during the quarter.

On August 27 2024, Síminn Pay reached an agreement with Rapyd Europe hf. that Síminn Pay would take over card loans and payment distributions for VISA and MasterCard cardholders that were set up and operated by Valitor. At the end of February, the card loans of about nine thousand customers for about ISK 1.500 million was transferred to Síminn Pay.

The Annual General Meeting of Síminn approved on 13 March 2025 a share capital decrease to cancel out own shares which amounted to ISK 175 million in nominal value. The same Annual General Meeting approved a share buyback program allowing buyback for up to ISK 247.5 million in nominal value and a proposal to pay ISK 500 million in dividend to shareholders, the dividend was paid on March 28. Based on the approval of the Annual General Meeting in 2024 and 2025 the Company has this year purchased own shares for nominal value ISK 38 million, market value ISK 525 million.
