Executive summary

In terms of financial performance, the first half of 2025 delivered a profit after tax of DKK 707 million, corresponding to a return on equity after tax of 10.0%.

The result is affected by the falling level of interest rates, with a lower return on the Bank's substantial excess liquidity contributing to a reduction in net interest income. Moreover, there were total restructuring provisions of DKK 350 million and one-off costs for advisory services in connection with Nykredit's acquisition of Spar Nord. Against this background, the Bank realised a profit before impairment charges which was DKK 657 million lower than in the same period of last year.

When compiling the profit for the period excluding items regarding Nykredit's takeover, Spar Nord achieved a return on equity after tax in H1 2025 of 14.4% and a cost/income ratio of 52 – both figures being higher than the Bank's strategic goals.

In terms of our banking business, we maintained a strong momentum from H1 2024 to H1 2025 with a net inflow of customers in our prioritised segments, annual growth in deposits and lending of 12% and 10%, respectively, and a 2% increase in total business volume. For Q2 2025 alone, we achieved lending growth of DKK 1.5 billion and an increase in deposits of DKK 4.9 billion.

On 20 May, Nykredit announced that it had received the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority's approval, after which all regulatory approvals to complete Nykredit's tender offer had been received.

On expiry of the offer period on 28 May 2025, Nykredit was able to complete the tender offer.

On 24 June 2025, an extraordinary general meeting was held to elect a new board of directors and amend Spar Nord's articles of association.

On 25 June 2025, Nykredit announced a decision to complete a compulsory acquisition and to delist Spar Nord before the end of July.

At the presentation of this interim report for the first half of 2025, Spar Nord is thus a subsidiary of the Nykredit Group.

Spar Nord achieved a profit after tax of DKK 707 million in H1 2025, which corresponds to an annualised return on equity of 10.0%.

Core income amounted to DKK 2,708 million, which was 7% lower than in the year-earlier period.

At DKK 1,564 million, net interest income was 13% lower than last year, which was primarily driven by a lower return on the Bank's strong excess liquidity owing to the lower level of interest rates. Net fee income amounted to DKK 804 million, which was 3% higher than in the year-earlier period. Market value adjustments and dividends amounted to DKK 238 million, which to a large extent was attributable to positive market value adjustments of the shareholdings in BI Holding (BankInvest) driven by a changed valuation principle adopted by the board of directors of BI Holding. Lastly, other income amounted to DKK 103 million.

Total costs and expenses amounted to DKK 1,820 million, against DKK 1,379 million in the same period of 2024. Of this amount, payroll costs amounted to DKK 1,148 million, corresponding to an increase of 41%, and operating expenses amounted to DKK 672 million, which was 19% higher than in the same period of last year. Payroll costs and operating expenses were adversely affected by restructuring provisions totalling DKK 350 million. Calculated excluding items regarding Nykredit's acquisition, costs were 2% higher.

Loan impairment charges were an income of DKK 6 million in H1 2025, against an income of DKK 37 million in the year-earlier period. Relative to year-end 2024, management estimates were lowered by DKK 26 million to DKK 658 million at 30 June 2025.

Increase of DKK 10.1 billion, or 6% (y/y), in total credits arranged

At the end of H1 2025, bank and leasing loans were DKK 7.1 billion (12%) and mediation of mortgage loans DKK 3.0 billion (3%) higher than at the end of H1 2024.

At the same time, bank deposits increased by DKK 7.3 billion (10%), while pension, life annuities and guarantees, etc. rose by DKK 0.6 billion and DKK 0.8 billion, respectively.

Despite the inflow of new funds, customers' sale of Spar Nord shares and negative value adjustments resulted in a decline in the Bank's total assets under management of DKK 1.0 billion, while other customers' custodianship accounts fell by DKK 9.1 billion.

Outlook for 2025

On the basis of its financial results in H1 2025, Spar Nord maintains its financial guidance for 2025.

Due to the recognition of total restructuring provisions of DKK 350 million, Spar Nord now forecasts a profit before impairment charges at the low end of the DKK 2.2-2.6 billion range.

At the same time, persistently strong credit quality among the Bank's customers means that the Bank's full-year guidance for profit after tax is unchanged at DKK 1.6-1.9 billion.

H1 2025 financial performance

Financial results

Spar Nord achieved a profit after tax of DKK 707 million in H1 2025, which corresponds to an annualised return on equity of 10.0%.

Income

Core income amounted to DKK 2,708 million, which is 7% lower than in the year-earlier period.

Developments in net interest income

DKKm (medium grey rising – dark grey falling)

Net interest income was DKK 1,564 million, against DKK 1,795 million in the year-earlier period.

The decline in net interest income in H1 2025 relative to the year-earlier period was primarily driven by a lower return on the Bank's strong excess liquidity owing to the lower level of interest rates. Net interest income from financial items and other net interest income in H1 2025 were thus DKK 308 million lower overall than in the same period of last year.

On the other hand, the lower level of interest rates had a positive effect on the Bank's interest expenses for capital market issues, and overall interest expenses were thus reduced by DKK 85 million in H1 2025 relative to H1 2024.

The decline in interest income from lending was due to a lower average lending rate, while an increase in average total lending had the opposite effect. Overall, interest income from lending fell by DKK 229 million.

Compared with the same period of last year, interest expenses for deposits were reduced by a total of DKK 221 million. The increase in total average deposits was thus more than offset by a decline in the average deposit rate.

The interest margin was reduced by 85 basis points from H1 2024 to H1 2025. This was driven by a decline in the average lending rate of 148 basis points, which was partly offset by a decline in the deposit rate of 64 basis points. In Q2 2025 alone, the interest margin fell by 24 basis points.

Overall, developments in interest rates and lending and deposits resulted in a reduction of net interest income from loans and deposits of DKK 8 million compared with H1 2024.

Net fee income was DKK 804 million, against DKK 780 million in the same period of 2024. Net fee income thus accounted for 34% of total net interest and fee income in H1 2025 (H1 2024: 30%).

Development in net fee income

DKKm (medium grey rising – dark grey falling)

Overall, net fee income in H1 2025 was DKK 24 million higher than in the same period of last year.

The increase in net fee income was to a large extent driven by a higher level of activity in the housing market, which resulted in improvements within mortgage fees as well as loan transaction fees. Overall, net fee income from mortgage lending and loan transactions was DKK 24 million higher than in the same period of last year.

The positive asset management activities of recent quarters continued in H1 2025. Net fee income from asset management and securities trading thus increased by DKK 12 million. The increase was mainly attributable to an inflow of new funds under management.

Compared with H1 2024, other fees declined by DKK 11 million, primarily due to non-recurring income in 2024. H1 2025 was positively affected by persistently satisfactory activity in payment services and cards as well as insurance and pension.

Market value adjustments and dividends DKKm

Market value adjustments and dividends amounted to DKK 238 million, against DKK 248 million in the same period of 2024. Market value adjustments in the Trading Division were DKK 19 million, while market value adjustments deriving from customer activity and sector shares totalled DKK 219 million.

H1 2025 was characterised by generally positive financial market sentiment at the start of the year, while macroeconomic uncertainty and trade war caused substantial financial turmoil especially at the onset of Q2.

Against that background, market value adjustments in the Trading Division for the period were positive in the amount of DKK 19 million, which was driven primarily by the Bank's bond portfolio due to narrowing credit spreads early in the period.

The Bank's bond portfolio is recognised at fair value irrespective of whether it is placed in the trading book or in the banking book.

Market value adjustments and dividends on the portfolio of strategic shareholdings in the financial sector amounted to DKK 168 million, which

was DKK 60 million higher than in the same period of last year. The higher income was mainly attributable to higher market value adjustments re-

garding Spar Nord's shareholdings in BI Holding (BankInvest), among other things as a result of a changed valuation principle adopted by the board of directors of BI Holding.

As a result of satisfactory customer activity, market value adjustments from currency trading and exchange rate gains were DKK 51 million, which was on a level with the same period of last year.

Other income DKKm

Other income amounted to DKK 103 million, against DKK 101 million in the same period of 2024.

Of total other income in H1 2025, investments in associates amounted to DKK 37 million, which was mainly attributable to Spar Nord's holding of shares in Danske Andelskassers Bank (DAB). At the end of H1 2025, Spar Nord's shareholding in DAB amounted to 40.1%.

Lastly, other income was positively impacted by DKK 23 million due to contributions from Forenet Kredit for expenses for the new customer benefits (ForeningsFordele) to Spar Nord's customers. These are some of the noticeable benefits the Bank's customers will experience after the change to customer ownership structure in the Nykredit Group.

Costs and expenses

The Group's total costs and expenses amounted to DKK 1,820 million, against DKK 1,379 million in the same period of 2024, or an increase of as much as 32%. The increase in total costs and expenses was to a large extent driven by restructuring provisions of DKK 350 million. Calculated excluding all items

regarding Nykredit's acquisition, costs were 2% higher.

The average number of employees in H1 2025 was 6 higher than in the year-earlier period. At 30 June 2025, Spar Nord employed 1,666 people (FTE), which was 84 less than at 31 December 2024.

Total costs

DKKm

The realised core income and costs corresponds to a cost/income ratio of 67.

Loan impairment

Loan impairment charges were an income of DKK 6 million in H1 2025, against an income of DKK 37 million in the year-earlier period.

The positive profit impact in H1 2025 underlined a pertently strong credit quality among the Bank's retail and business customers.

Impairment

DKKm

In H1 2025, a reduced need for individual impairment charges and management estimates resulted in an overall reduction of stage 3 impairment of DKK 45 million. On the other hand, an increase in individual stage 2 impairment charges resulted in a DKK 37 million overall increase in stage 1 and 2 impairment compared with end-2024.

At 30 June 2025, total management estimates were reduced by DKK 26 million relative to end-2024. This covered a DKK 21 million reduction in management estimates concerning commercial real estate and a DKK 6 million reduction in management estimates concerning geopolitical uncertainty.

Total management estimates were DKK 658 million at the end of H1 2025. At 30 June 2025, the model-supported management estimate regarding geopolitical uncertainty amounted to DKK 392 million, while the other management estimates concerning commercial real estate, ESG and model uncertainty, etc. totalled DKK 266 million.

At 30 June 2025, the total management estimates of DKK 658 million broke down into DKK 520 million on business customers and DKK 138 million on retail customers. By way of comparison, total

management estimates of DKK 684 million at end-2024 broke down into DKK 552 million on business customers and DKK 133 million on retail customers.

Stage 3 impairment at 30 June 2025 amounted to DKK 762 million (year-end 2024: DKK 807 million), while stage 1 and 2 impairment totalled DKK 882 million (year-end 2024: DKK 845 million).

At 30 June 2025, the share of loans, advances and guarantees to retail customers accounted for 46% of the Bank's total loans, advances and guarantees.

At 1 January 2025, Statistics Denmark carried out a reclassification of underlying industry codes, implementing the transition from Danske Branchekode 2007 (DB07) to Danske Branchekode 2025 (DB25). This update includes new industries and changes to existing classifications.

The change affects comparability with earlier periods, as specific industries are reclassified to other main groups. In the table, historical data have been adjusted relative to the figures stated in Spar Nord's Annual Report 2024 to account for this reclassification and ensure better comparability

Profit/loss

The profit for the year before tax amounted to DKK 895 million compared with DKK 1,582 million in H1 2024. The Group's effective tax rate was 21%, bringing profit after tax to DKK 707 million.

Business volume

The Group's total business volume amounted to DKK 380.0 billion at 30 June 2025, which was DKK 8.6 billion higher than at 30 June 2024 and DKK 0.8 billion higher than at end-2024.

Compared with the year-earlier period, bank and leasing loans at 30 June 2025 rose DKK 7.1 billion, or 12%, to DKK 64.6 billion. Bank lending to retail customers increased by DKK 3.3 billion, while bank lending to business customers increased by DKK 3.6 billion, of which growth in leasing loans accounted for DKK 1.1 billion. Lastly, bank lending to public-sector customers increased by DKK 0.1 billion. Compared with end-2024, bank and leasing loans grew by DKK 2.9 billion.

Relative to H1 2024, the volume of facilitated mortgage loans rose DKK 3.0 billion, or 3%, to DKK 108.2 billion. In total, the volume of facilitated mortgage loans amounted to DKK 98.1 billion from Totalkredit and DKK 10.0 billion from DLR Kredit. Compared with end-2024, mediated mortgage loans increased by DKK 2.3 billion.

At 30 June 2025, the Bank's total assets under management amounted to DKK 75.7 billion, which was DKK 1.0 billion less than at 30 June 2024. There was a positive contribution from inflow of new funds, while customers' sale of Spar Nord shares and negative value adjustments due to the financial market turbulence had the opposite effect.

Similarly, customers' sale of Spar Nord shares and negative value adjustments due to the financial turbulence caused a DKK 9.1 billion reduction in other customers' custodianship accounts.

Finally, pension, life annuities and guarantees, etc. increased by DKK 0.6 billion and DKK 0.8 billion, respectively, compared with the end of H1 2024.

As a result of developments in deposit and lending volumes, the loan-to-deposit ratio at 30 June 2025 stood at 78.

The Supervisory Diamond

The Supervisory Diamond lists a number of quantitative reference points, stipulating what can be considered a financial institution with an increased risk.

Failure to comply with the reference points in the Supervisory Diamond will trigger a reaction from the Danish FSA.

At 30 June 2025, Spar Nord was still comfortably within all the reference points, achieving the values shown below:

Outlook for 2025

On the basis of its financial results in H1 2025, Spar Nord maintains its financial guidance for 2025.

Due to the recognition of total restructuring provisions of DKK 350 million, Spar Nord now forecasts a profit before impairment charges at the low end of the DKK 2.2-2.6 billion range.

Against the background of persistently strong credit quality among the Bank's customers, Spar Nord expects a profit impact from impairment charges of around DKK 0 million for 2025.

As a result, the Bank maintains its guidance for profit after tax to the tune of DKK 1.6 - 1.9 million.

Capital and liquidity management

Capital position

On the capital side, Spar Nord pursues the goal of having a common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 13.5% and an own funds ratio of 17.5%.

Tier 1 capital ratio 20.5 19.0 18.1 17.5 17.2
Own funds ratio 22.9 21.6 20.6 19.9 19.3

At 30 June 2025, the common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 19.2%, while the own funds ratio was 22.9%. The latter should be viewed relative to the individual solvency need calculated by Spar Nord at 9.5% plus the 7.5% combined buffer requirement, bringing the total capital requirement to 17.0%. Compared with the end of Q1 2025, the Bank's SIFI buffer increased from 1.0 percentage point to 2.0 percentage points as a result of Spar Nord's consolidation into the Nykredit group.

At the end of Q2 2025, Spar Nord had an excess capital coverage of 5.9 percentage points, equal to DKK 3.9 billion.

The strong excess capital coverage should be seen in light of the fact that no dividends were distributed for 2024 because of the conditions of Nykredit's takeover offer.

Compared with Q1 2025, the Bank's CET1 capital ratio increased by 0.1 of a percentage point, while the capital ratio was 0.2 of a percentage point higher.

At 30 June 2025, the Bank's own funds increased by DKK 97 billion, primarily due to developments in the Bank's capital deductions. Profit less provisions for expected dividends concerning Q2 2025 was not recognised in own funds.

At 30 June 2025, the total risk exposure amount was largely unchanged from Q1 2025, reflecting a DKK 0.2 billion increase in credit risk, while market risk was reduced by DKK 0.2 billion.

The higher risk exposure amount for credit risk was mainly attributable to the lending growth for the period, while the cancellation of 6% guarantees for Totalkredit had the opposite effect.

The reduced risk exposure amount for market risk was primarily attributable to a reduction in the gross holding of bonds and a reduced equity portfolio.

At 30 June 2025, eligible liabilities for meeting the total MREL and combined buffer requirement were calculated at DKK 23.8 billion, equal to 36.0% of the Bank's total risk exposure amount. Thus, at the end of the quarter, Spar Nord had an excess coverage to the MREL requirement of 4.5 percentage points, equal to DKK 3.0 billion.

The Bank still expects that, going forward, the MREL requirement will lead to a total need for issuing MREL capital of around DKK 9 billion.

Based on the Bank's capital ratios at the end of H1 2025, Spar Nord does not expect to have an issuance requirement of capital market funding in the second half of 2025.

With respect to transition to internal ratings based models (IRB), Nykredit's acquisition of Spar Nord has made the Bank withdraw its application to the Danish FSA. Spar Nord thus no longer expects to transition to IRB models for calculating capital ratios.

Liquidity and funding

With respect to cash resources, Spar Nord's objective is for a minimum Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) of 125% and a minimum Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) of 105%.

At 30 June 2025, the Liquidity Coverage Ratio and the Net Stable Funding Ratio were well above both the statutory requirements and the Bank's own targets.

Spar Nord's LCR ratio at 30 June 2025 was thus 459, while the NSFR ratio was 120.

The significantly changed LCR and NSFR levels are driven by Spar Nord's inclusion as a subsidiary of the Nykredit group, which for regulatory purposes affects the recognition of securities issued by other companies of the Nykredit group.

At the end of H1 2025, Spar Nord's total funding amounted to DKK 110.5 billion. At 30 June 2025, deposits excluding pooled schemes amounted to DKK 82.8 billion, and they are still the Bank's principal source of funding.

At 30 June 2025, 68% of the deposits excluding pooled schemes were covered by the Guarantee Fund, which is the Danish guarantee scheme to cover depositors. At the same time, the sum of the 20 largest deposits alone accounted for 4% of the Bank's total deposits excluding pooled schemes.

At 30 June 2025, the Bank had capital market funding totalling DKK 11.2 billion, with tier 2 and additional tier 1 capital accounting for DKK 2.5 billion and MREL capital for DKK 8.7 billion. Issued MREL capital included DKK 1.9 billion of Senior Preferred and DKK 6.8 billion of Senior Non-Preferred.

1.1. Accounting policies

1.1.1. Basis of preparation of the interim report 1.1.2. Accounting policy changes

Accounting policies

The interim report is presented in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the EU, and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports. The application of IAS 34 means that the presentation is limited relative to the presentation of an annual report and that the recognition and measurement principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been applied.

Other than as set out below, the accounting policies are unchanged from those applied in Annual Report 2024.

Annual Report 2024 contains the full description of the accounting policies.

Figures in the interim report are presented in millions of Danish kroner, unless otherwise stated. Consequently, rounding differences may occur because grand totals are rounded and the underlying decimal places are not shown to the reader.

As a supplement to the accounting policies regarding related parties, agreements have been entered into between Forenet Kredit f.m.b.a. and group companies.

Each year, Forenet Kredit allocates an amount to the group companies, which use the contribution for benefits (ForeningsFordele) in the form of, for example, discounts and green subsidies for the group's customers.

Accounting policy changes

Effective from 1 January 2025, Spar Nord has implemented the following new or amended standard and interpretations:

• IAS 21 Foreign currency translation – Amendments to IAS 21: Lack of Exchangeability.

The implementation of this standard and interpretations has not affected Spar Nord's financial reporting, including recognition and measurement.

1.2. Significant accounting estimates and judgments

Significant accounting estimates and judgments

Measuring certain assets and liabilities requires Management to make an estimate of how future events will affect the value of such assets and liabilities. Estimates considered material in presenting the financial statements are, among other things, those made when determining loan impairment, the fair values of unlisted financial instruments as well as provisions. The applied estimates are based on assumptions deemed reasonable by Management but which are inherently uncertain.

In the presentation of the condensed Interim Financial Statements, the critical judgments made by Management in the application of the Group's accounting policies, and the considerable uncertainty related thereto, are identical to those applying to the presentation of the Financial Statements at 31 December 2024.

Management estimates of impaired loans are described in more detail in the "Loan impairment" section of the financial review.

The international rules stipulating that multinational enterprises must pay tax of at least 15%, "International Tax Reform — Pillar Two Model Rules", are not expected to affect Spar Nord going forward because Spar Nord has no activities in tax havens (countries considered a low-tax environment). Spar Nord could become subject to the rules because the national implementation also extends to large national enterprises. If Spar Nord should become subject to the rules, it is not expected to have any financial impact, but only an effect on the administrative filings with the tax authorities.

Spar Nord has no financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Day 1 gains (customer margin)

When valuing unlisted derivative instruments, the initial customer margin, etc. is amortised over the remaining term to maturity. At 30.06.2025, the customer margin, etc. not yet amortised amounted to DKK 40 million (31.12.2024: DKK 35 million).

All Spar Nord bonds are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

In Day 1 gains, no amount was offset from CVA at 30.06.2025 and at 31.12.2024, CVA being the credit value component of derivatives.

Reference is made to note 2.7 regarding the Executive Board's notice of termination and the associated compensation.

Until 28 May 2025, Spar Nord was taxed jointly with its Danish subsidiary in the Spar Nord Group. As management company, Spar Nord has unlimited, joint and several liability together with the subsidiary for the Danish corporate income tax payable. From 28 May 2025, Spar Nord is taxed jointly with other companies of the Nykredit group with Forenet Kredit f.m.b.a. as management company. The corporate income tax receivable in the Spar Nord Group amounted to DKK 29 million at 30.06.2025 (31.12.2024: DKK 88 million). Any adjustments to the taxable income subject to joint taxation might entail an increase in the management companies' liability.

The Bank participates in the national restructuring and resolution scheme, with separate contributions being paid to the Guarantee Fund and the Resolution Fund. For both funds, separate target levels have been set, based on the sector's total deposits that are covered by the guarantee limit of EUR 100,000 (section 9(1) of the Act on a Depositor and Investor Guarantee Scheme).

The Guarantee Fund covers customers' deposits and securities pursuant to the Act on a Depositor and Investor Guarantee Scheme. The Bank's costs for the Guarantee Fund are calculated based on the Bank's pro-rata share. The amount of the contribution will be adjusted by an individual risk factor. The Resolution Fund is to be used pursuant to the Act on Restructuring and Resolution of Certain Financial Enterprises for the purpose of covering the associated costs.

The Bank's costs for the Resolution Fund are calculated based on the Bank's pro-rata share of the sector's total equity and liabilities less own funds and covered deposits. This contribution will also be adjusted by an individually determined risk factor. The Bank's costs for the Resolution Fund for 2025 have been included as a pro-rata share of the annual contributions. The Bank's contribution for the Resolution Fund at 30 June 2025 amounted to DKK 1 million (30.06.2024: DKK 9 million.).

The amount of the contingent liabilities and the possible due dates are subject to uncertainty, for which reason this information has not been disclosed.

Data-processing centre

Spar Nord has entered into an agreement with BEC Financial Technologies a.m.b.a. regarding the provision of IT services.

Spar Nord's membership of BEC Financial Technologies a.m.b.a. means that in case of termination of the Bank's membership, it is liable to pay an exit fee.

In addition, a capital contribution to BEC Financial Technologies a.m.b.a. has been recognised under Other assets.

The Spar Nord Group has no other significant binding agreements.

Lease liabilities, Spar Nord as lessee

The lease liabilities above concern leases concluded at the balance sheet date but for which the lease asset has not yet been made available.

Spar Nord has not entered into material finance leases as a lessee.

Fixed-price power purchase agreement.

From 2023, Spar Nord has entered into a power purchase agreement (PPA) to purchase electricity for ten years.

The agreement with the parties is a bilateral agreement concerning the purchase and delivery of electricity, which means the power purchase agreement does not entail that Spar Nord recognises its value as a financial asset in the balance sheet.

Spar Nord recognises recurring costs of electricity in the income statement as an operating cost.

6.4. Legal proceedings

Spar Nord is party to a number of legal proceedings and disputes. The expected impact on the Group's financial position is assessed in an ongoing process, including the recognition of any provisions or assets.

Pending lawsuits are not expected to have a material influence on the Group's financial position.

6.5. Events after the balance sheet date

On 25 June 2025, Nykredit initiated a compulsory acquisition of the Spar Nord shares which were owned by the remaining minority shareholders of Spar Nord. On 25 June 2025, Spar Nord requested Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S to remove the Spar Nord shares from trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S. Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S accepted the request. The last day of trading for Spar Nord shares was 23 July 2025, which was the same day as the last business day of the four-week compulsory acquisition period.

6.6. Overview of group companies

From 28 May 2025, Spar Nord Bank A/S is a subsidiary of Nykredit Realkredit A/S.

7.1. Accounting policies

The interim report of the Parent Company Spar Nord A/S has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Danish Financial Business Act, including the Danish FSA's Executive Order on financial reports presented by credit institutions and investment companies (Executive Order on the presentation of financial statements).

The Parent Company's accounting policies are identical to those of the Group. For a description of accounting policies and changes thereto, please see accounting policies in note 1.1 to the consolidated financial statements.

Other than as described in note 1.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the accounting policies are unchanged from Annual Report 2024.

A full description of the accounting policies is provided in Annual Report 2024.

Investments in group enterprises are recognised and measured at the proportionate share of the net asset value (NAV) on the balance sheet date plus the carrying amount of acquired goodwill.

The difference between the equity and profit or loss in the Group and in the Parent Company is due to individual properties being classified as investment properties in the subsidiary and as domicile properties in the Group. The difference consists of net depreciation and impairment on such properties; see below:
