Report and Endorsement
by the Board of Directors and the CEO
The consolidated financial statements of Skagi hf. ("the Company” or “Skagi”) for the year 2024 consist of the

(“Fossar” or “the Bank”), SIV eignastýring hf. (SIV), Líftryggingafélag Íslands hf. (Lífís), and Íslensk verðbréf hf. and
its subsidiary ÍV sjóðir hf. (collectively referred to as “ÍV”) as of 1
st
October 2024. VÍS insurance business was
operated within the Company during the year 2024. Collectively the Company and its subsidiaries are referred to as
"the Group". Legal name change of the Company from “Vátryggingafélag Íslands” to “Skagi” was approved by the
board of the Company on 30
th
December 2024. The Group’s operations consist of insurance activities, investment
banking activities and asset and fund management. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with
IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and the additional requirements for companies listed on a
regulated securities market.
Operating and Financial position
According to the Statement of profit or loss the Group's profit for the year amounted to ISK 2,258 million and return
on equity was 10.8%. The Group's assets at year-end amounted to ISK 79,183 million and equity amounted to ISK
22,271 million according to the Statement of financial position.
Insurance
A significant operational improvement was achieved in 2024 in the insurance business. Insurance business
generated 10.2% growth in insurance revenue with a combined ratio of 94.9% (2023: 99.5%) which is in accordance
with target of below 95% published at the beginning of the year. Income growth in life and health insurance was
14.9% year-on-year. The insurance service result was positive by ISK 1,479 million, representing a positive
turnaround from last year of ISK 1,336 million. The strong turnaround towards profitable operations, can be
attributed to more new customers as well as increased insurance sales to existing customers along with
implementation of cost measures.
The insurance contracts expense ratio is decreasing, coming in at 19.1% for the year versus 22.3% at the same time
last year. The claims ratio was 72.6% (2023: 76.5%) and net reinsurance ratio was 3.3% (2023: 0.7%).
Financial Services
The Financial Services, which consist of the operations of Fossar, SIV and ÍV, delivered growth throughout the year,
despite challenging conditions during second and third quarter. There was a significant growth in net fee and
commission income and net interest income in financial activities during the year along with increased
diversification of income. Financial Services income totalled around ISK 2,344 million, which is above the target of
income above ISK 2,200 million. Important milestones were achieved in financial services during the year as the
share of non-capital markets revenue increased significantly to around 60% of total income (2023: 40%) and assets
under management increased 94% to 227bn (2023: 117bn) following both organic growth and external growth from
acquisition of ÍV. Emphasis continues to be in increasing the share of recurring revenue from asset and fund
management as well as net interest income. Financial services activities continue to be on a strong growth path.
SIV’s first full year of operations was strong whereas it became established in the market and increased fund
oering. SIV’s merger with ÍV sjóðir under the name Íslensk verðbréf will create one of the largest asset management
firms in the market with wide range of product oering for its clients and significant potential for growth. Fossar’s
balance sheet increased 82% YoY thus increasing the bank's net interest income and other balance sheet driven
income. Emphasis remains on being a trusted financial intermediary with balance sheet light activities across the
spectrum of capital markets. Furthermore, the bank took significant steps in becoming a reliable issuer of bonds in
the bond market.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the board of directors and the shareholders of Skagi hf.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our
audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters
Audit procedures
Insurance contract liabilities, including the
assumptions and calculations on which it is based on:
See note no. 25 about financial information and note
38.7 about accounting policies for further information.
Insurance contract liabilities are divided into liability
for remaining coverage (LRC) and liability for incurred
claims (LIC).
Insurance contract liabilities amounted to ISK 28.834
million at year end 2024, which is approximately 51%
of the Group´s liabilities.
The Group applies the Premium Allocation Approach
(PAA) to the measurement of the Group´s insurance
contract liabilities in accordance with IFRS 17.
On initial recognition the carrying amount of liability for
remaining coverage (LRC) is recognised as the
premiums received. Subsequently, the carrying
amount of the LRC is increased by any premiums
received and decreased by the amount recognised as
insurance revenue for services provided. Services are
primarily provided based on passage of time.
Liability for incurred claims (LIC) are measured as the
total of the expected fulfilment cash flows relating to
insurance events occurred at the statement of
financial position date, which comprise estimates of
future cash flows, adjusted to reflect the time value of
money and the associated financial risks, and a risk
adjustment for non-financial risks. The estimate
includes direct and indirect claims handling costs that
arise from events occurred at or before the statement
of financial position date.
A key element of the audit is management's
assessment of the estimated unsettled claims due to
the complexity and extent of the estimation factors
involved in the calculation. The portion of unsettled
claims that have not been reported to the Group is
subject to the greatest uncertainty.
The assessment of claims depends on the quality of
the underlying data. This includes complex
assessments of future developments and changes in
assumptions that can significantly change the amount
of the liability for incurred claims.
We used our own actuaries in the auditing of the
insurance contract liability.
The audit of the insurance contract liability included
the following:
• The process for calculating the insurance contract
liability was reviewed.
• Management´s controls tested for effectiveness.
• Test of details and sample testing of open claims at
year-end and paid claims during the year.
• Management's assumptions when assessing the
insurance contract liability, including historical data
on the final settlement of claims by claim group, were
reviewed.
• Reconciliations between systems on which the
calculation of the insurance contract liability is based
on were reviewed.
• Our own actuaries recalculated the insurance
contract liability.
• The relevant disclosures were reviewed.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the board of directors and the shareholders of Skagi hf.
Key audit matters
Audit procedures
of investment income from unlisted financial assets:
See note no. 14 financial assets.
Financial assets are the largest asset of the Group,
amounting to ISK 51.391.734 thousand, or 64.9% of
total assets at the end of 2024.
A significant portion, or about 78,4%, of financial
assets have quoted price in a active market for
identical assets and their market price is therefore
available on the balance sheet date.
The portion of financial assets that required particular
attention during our audit are unlisted financial assets
as their valuation is based on significant inputs other
than market value and is subject to uncertainty. Due to
uncertainty and size, this item is a key audit matter of
our audit.
Valuation methods for unlisted financial assets may
include recent arm's length transactions, reference to
the fair value of comparable financial assets,
discounted cash flows, pricing models or other
valuation techniques that provide reliable estimates of
other market transactions. These are securities that
are defined in Levels 2 and 3 of the IFRS 13 fair value
hierarchy.
The value of unlisted financial assets amounts to ISK
12.387.914 thousand, or 18.7% of total assets at the
end of 2024.
PwC valuation experts assisted us with the audit of
unlisted financial assets.
The audit of the unlisted financial assets included the
following:
• We reviewed the methodology and assumptions
used in the valuation and compared them to common
benchmarks for comparable financial assets.
• We performed a independent calculation for a
sample of unlisted financial assets.
• The data on which calculations and assumptions
were based in different valuation methods were
reviewed and evaluated.
• In cases where valuations were based on recent
transactions, those transactions were verified.
• The classification of financial assets in the fair value
hierarchy was reviewed.
• Management´s controls tested for effectiveness.
• The relevant disclosures were reviewed.
Reporting on other information, including the report and endorsement by the board of directors and the CEO
The board of directors and Chief executive oicer are responsible for other information. The other information
comprises of the report and endorsement by the board of directors and the CEO, note no. 39, quarterly statement,
appendix 1 about Non- financial and sustainability reporting and appendix 2 about EU taxonomy regulation which
we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information, including the report
and endorsement by the board of directors and the CEO.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. In addition, in light of the knowledge and understanding of the entity and its environment obtained in the
course of the audit, we are required to report if we have identified material misstatements in other information that
we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this respect.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the board of directors and the shareholders of Skagi hf.
With respect to the report and endorsement by the board of directors and the CEO we have, in accordance with
article 104, of the Icelandic law on annual accounts reviewed that to the best of our knowledge, the report of the
report and endorsement by the board of directors and the CEO accompanying the consolidated financial
statements includes applicable information in accordance with Icelandic law on annual accounts if not presented
elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements.
Responsibilities of the board of directors and the chief executive oicer
The board of directors and the chief executive oicer are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS accounting standards as adopted by the European
Union (EU), and applicable articles in Icelandic law on annual accounts, and for such internal control as determined
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the groups' ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Group's management must provide appropriate explanations regarding
its ability to continue as going concern, if applicable, and why management applies the presumption of going
concern in the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the group's financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
suicient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the eectiveness of the
group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
Consolidated Financial Statements 31 December 2024 11 All amounts are in thousands of ISK
Independent Auditor's Report
To the board of directors and the shareholders of Skagi hf.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on
the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause
the group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain suicient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

1. Reporting entity
Skagi hf., the Parent Company, hereinafter referred to as "the Company" or "Skagi“, is a limited liability company and

financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries include Fossar fjárfestingarbanki hf. (“Fossar”
or “the bank”), SIV eignastýring hf. (SIV), Líftryggingafélag Íslands hf. (Lífís), and Íslensk verðbréf hf. and its
subsidiary ÍV sjóðir hf. (collectively referred to as “ÍV”) as of 1st October 2024. Collectively the Company and its
subsidiaries are referred to as "the Group". The Group’s operations consist of insurance activities, investment
banking activities and asset and fund management. The Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority supervises the

On 7th May 2024 Skagi signed a purchase agreement with the shareholders of Íslensk verðbréf hf. (ÍV). After
obtaining regulatory approval, the acquisition was finalised and ÍV was consolidated as of 1st October 2024.
A purchase agreement for the Company's insurance operations has been signed between Skagi and VÍS tryggingar
hf.; the agreement was subject to the approval of a shareholders' meeting for the transfer of the insurance
operations (which was approved at a shareholders meeting on 17th January 2024) and the approval of the Financial
Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland for the transfer of the insurance portfolio and the insurance
operations to a subsidiary, which were approved before year end 2024. The Company concluded the transfer

Following the acquisition of ÍV, the Company has prepared further consolidation of financial services activities within
the Group, including a proposed merger of ÍV into Fossar and merger of SIV into ÍV sjóðir hf. These proposed mergers
are subject to the approval of the Financial Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland (“FSA”) and will be
filed in early 2025 with the Companies House in Iceland. Once necessary approvals are in place, from the FSA and
the Companies House, the mergers will become effective as of 1st January 2025.
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Basis of preparation (cont.)
Disclosure note: Changes in the Statement of profit or loss and the statement of financial position
As part of the preparation of the financial statements, adjustments were made to the comparative figures in the
Statement of Profit or Loss and the Statement of Financial Position for the prior reporting period.
The following changes have been applied to the comparative figures related to the risk adjustment
In the 2023 financial statements, the risk adjustment for reinsurance was previously reported under insurance
service expenses in the statement of profit or loss. It is now classified under net expenses from reinsurance
contracts.
In the 2023 financial statements, the reinsurance share of the risk adjustment was previously presented under
Insurance Contract Liabilities on the Balance Sheet. It is now reported as part of assets from reinsurance contracts
held.
These adjustments do not affect the insurance service result, profit for the year, or the overall equity position.
However, they ensure a more accurate presentation of the financial position for the comparative period.
Presentation changes in the statement of financial position
In the previous year's statement of financial position, property and equipment, along with right-of-use assets, were
presented separately. They have now been reclassified as property, plant, and equipment. Additionally, financial
assets related to insurance activities, including bonds, equities, and other securities, are now grouped under
financial assets.
Presentation changes in the statement of cash flows
From the prior year's statement of cash flows, financial income and expenses, as well as fair value changes of
financial assets, have been restated and are now presented as net interest income and net financial income.
Presentation changes in notes
The comparative figures in note 25.1 for insurance contract liabilities have also been revised where other cost for
insurance services provided has been reclassified from LRC to LIC.
3. Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in Icelandic krónur (ISK), which is the Company's
functional currency. All amounts are presented in thousands of ISK unless otherwise stated.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
4. Accounting estimates and judgements
Preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management
to make assumptions, estimates and apply judgements that affect the assets and liabilities at the reporting date,
disclosures in notes and income and expenses. Estimates and judgements are based on experience and various
other factors that are considered appropriate and form the basis of decisions made regarding the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities not evident by other means.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period
when they are revised.
Management has made assumptions and accounting estimates regarding the following items that materially impact
the Group's financial statements:
'- Financial instruments, see notes no. 14. and 34.
'- Loans to customers no. 16
'- Intangible assets, see note no. 21.
'- Liability due to insurance contracts, see note no. 25.
Financial instruments
Business model assessment
The classification and measurement of financial instruments depend on the results of the SPPI and the business
model tests. Judgement is required in assessing the relevant evidence including how the performance of the
instruments are evaluated and their performance is measured, the risks that affect the performance of the instruments
and how these are managed and how the managers of the instruments are compensated. Refer to notes 34 and
38.13 for further information regarding classification of financial instruments.
Fair value measurement
In estimating the fair value of a financial asset or a liability, the Group uses market-observable data to the extent it is
available. Where quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available the Group uses other market
observable inputs and lastly unobservable inputs. Refer to notes 34 and 38.13 for more details on fair value
measurement.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises in business combinations. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration
transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously
held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is subject to annual impairment testing, or more frequently when
there is an indication of impairment.
Consolidated Financial Statements 31 December 2024 22 All amounts are in thousands of ISK
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
4. Accounting estimates and judgements (cont.)
For impairment testing of goodwill the Group estimates the value in use of certain cash-generating units (“CGUs”).
Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the CGU, and such an estimate
requires management to make certain assumptions. The methods, assumptions and key inputs applied in the
impairment testing of goodwill are further described in note 21.
Other intangible assets
Judgement is required in estimating the useful lives of intangible assets and capitalisation period of internally
generated intangible assets.
Customer relationships
Customer relationships have been acquired as part of recent acquisitions and are capitalized and amortized using
the straight-line method over their useful life of maximum 10 years.

Insurance Contract Liabilities
The Group applies the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) to the measurement of all insurance contracts as the
coverage period of each contract is one year or less. The Group applies a policy of expensing all insurance acquisition
cash flows as they are incurred.
Judgement is required in estimating the insurance liability in accordance with the PAA method at period end,
including the assumptions about the discount rate used and the assumptions on the future inflation. Discounting
and adjustment for future inflation are, in particular, important for the long tailed claims such as claims in motor
liability, professional liability, workers’ compensation and personal accident.
Level of aggregation and the evaluation of contract boundary are significant assumptions as these define the use of
the premium allocation model’s simplified measurement model.
Premiums due to the Group for insurance contract services already provided in the period but not yet received at the
end of the reporting period are included in the Liability for Incurred Claims (LIC), in accordance with IFRS 17. The
Group has made an accounting policy choice not to adjust the carrying amount of the LRC to reflect the time value
of money and the effect of financial risk if, at initial recognition, the time between providing each part of the services
and the related premium due date is no more than one year.

4. Accounting estimates and judgements (cont.)
When calculating the Liability for Incurred Claims (LIC), the fulfillment cash flow is discounted using the discount
rate applied to the expected cash flow for loss expenses at the time the claim is initially recognized. The liability is
subsequently remeasured using the discount rate applicable at each measurement date. Capital costs resulting
from the calculation of the LIC, such as interest, changes in interest rates for discounting purposes and inflation, are
recognized in the statement of profit or loss as insurance financial items, which are part of the investment result.
The Group considers a group of insurance contracts to be onerous if the fulfilment cash flows that relate to the
remaining coverage of the group contract exceed the carrying amount of the liability for remaining coverage of the
group. If the expected fulfilment cash flows allocated to the contract, any previously recognized acquisition cash
flows, and any cash flows arising from the contract at the date of initial recognition in total result in a net cash outflow,
the contract is considered onerous. The Group has not recognized any group of onerous contracts in the current or
previous reporting period.
For further information regarding judgements and estimates applied in measuring liability due to insurance contracts
please refer to notes 25, 35.9 and 38.5-7.

21. Intangible assets
Assets such as goodwill are subject to annual impairment testing, or more frequently when there is an indication of
impairment. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units ("CGUs") for the purpose of impairment testing. Goodwill
has been allocated to the following CGUs; Insurance operations and Financial Services operations. The allocation
is made to those CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the business combinations in which the
goodwill arose. Internally developed software in the insurance operation was impaired fully in 2023 as a result of
impairment testing showing insignificant value of the software. Software additions during the period consists of third-
party software development that was acquired separately.
The goodwill impairment testing was made at the end of the fiscal year. Results of the impairment testing show that
the recoverable values exceed the carrying values of goodwill. In addition to the base case testing, additional
scenarios were tested where some key inputs had been stressed. In all scenarios tested the results show that there
is sufficient headroom and that there are no triggers indicating that impairment is required.
The cash flow projections for the impairment testing are derived from the Group's three year business plan which has
been approved by the Board of Directors. In some instances, the Group's subsidiaries have prepared a three year
business plan which has been approved by the Board of Directors of those companies. Management prepares a cash
flow projection for each CGU, which is derived from the three year business plan and is also based on management
assumptions. The following table shows the key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount. The
recoverable amounts are calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flow of the CGUs and the terminal
value of which has been determined by use of a long-term growth rate. The time value of money and price of
uncertainty are based on external market information about market risk, interest rates and CGU specific elements
like country risk. It is management opinion that reasonable changes in key inputs would not lead to impairment of
goodwill.

31. Fossar Capital adequacy ratio
The capital adequacy ratio of Fossar is calculated in accordance with Act No. 161/2002 on Financial Undertakings.
The capital requirement due to credit, market, and operational risk is calculated using a standard method and the
bank's capital adequacy ratio is 23.6%.
The minimum required capital ratio of credit undertakings is 8% according to Article 84 of the Act No. 161/2002 on
Financial Undertakings. The bank shall as of 31 December 2024 maintain an additional capital requirement of 9.1%
of the risk exposure amount. In addition to the minimum required capital base, the Bank must maintain certain
capital buffers, specified by the Financial Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland from time to time,
which today consist of a countercyclical capital buffer and a capital conservation buffer, which total 5.0%. The
banks overall capital requirement, taking into account capital buffers, is 22.1%.
32. Solvency of a financial conglomerate
It is assumed that the approval for defining the Group as a financial conglomerate, as defined in Article 3 of Act No.
61/2017 on Supplementary Supervision of Financial Conglomerates, will be obtained and the capital requirement of
the Group is thus now calculated in accordance with the law.
The Group calculates its own funds and minimum own funds in accordance with articles 17. and 18., and method 2
as described in the appendix of Act No. 61/2017, where the own funds and minimum own fund requirements are the
sum of the own funds and minimum own fund requirements of each subsidiary calculated in accordance with the
laws and regulations applicable to each entity. The minimum own funds requirements associated with other assets
and liabilities held directly by the Group are calculated in accordance with the Solvency II regulatory framework.
Solvency is a measure of the Group's ability to absorb shocks and an indicator of its financial strength. The Group's
solvency ratio is 1.35 compared to the minimum requirement of 1.0. The solvency ratio does not account for future
dividend or share repurchases.
The Group's solvency ratio as a financial conglomerate is specified as follows:

32. Solvency of a financial conglomerate (cont.)
Solvency
The Group´s own funds is based on its equity less intangible assets but including applicable subordinated bonds.
The Board of Directors of the Group has established that the Group´s solvency ratio should always be above 1.25.
The solvency ratio does not account for potential dividend or share repurchases. For every 160 million in dividend the
group solvency ratio would drop by 0.01, i.e. from 1.35 to 1.34 based on end of year balance.
33. Solvency of insurance activities
The standard rule according to Act No. 100/2016 is applied to calculate the minimum solvency requirements of
insurance activities. The following tables specify how the solvency requirement is divided into subcomponents of
risk. Diversification effects are included since it is not assumed that all risks will be realized simultaneously. An
adjustment for the loss-absorbing capacity of deferred taxes is deducted upon realization of risks. The solvency ratio
of insurance activities is 1.38 compared to the minimum requirement of 1.0. The solvency ratio does not account for
future dividend or share repurchases.

34. Financial instruments (cont.)
Fair value hierarchy
The following table discloses financial assets at fair value or held-to-maturity according to valuation techniques. The
valuation techniques are separated into three levels based on the significance of the assumptions made in
determining fair value. The levels are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted price in an active market for identical assets.
Level 2: Fair value is not based on quoted prices in an active market (level 1) but on inputs that are observable for the
asset, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Financial assets for which there is not an
active market are classified into level 2. The fair value assessment is based on recent transactions between unrelated
parties or bid prices of unrelated parties. Comparison to similar financial assets is also applied.
Level 3: Fair value measurement is based on significant inputs other than market value. Fair value measurement of
financial assets classified as level 3 is based on inputs such as valuation from fund managers of investment or
institutional investment funds, put options or the Company's valuation based on financial results or comparison to
other similar financial assets.
The fair value of loans and receivables that bear fixed interest is assessed using the discounted cash flow method,
where the yield is based on the estimated market interest rate for the respective debt instrument on the reporting
date. The fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities, including of those with variable interest rates, is
not considered significantly different from the carrying amounts at period-end.

35. Risk management
35.1 Risk management in general
The Group has implemented a policy for coordinated risk management. Its purpose is to ensure that the Group has
an effective system of risk management that includes, among other things, analysing, measuring, controlling and
monitoring the Group's risks. The objective of the policy is to establish and define in a clear and straightforward
manner risk policies, principles, governance structures, risk appetite and risk management systems, including the
Group's decision-making powers.
The Board of Directors establishes a framework for coordinated risk management and a written risk management
policy. The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring implementation of risk policies and that they are followed.
The Board of Directors sets the risk appetite, including the Group's criteria, objectives and targets, and establishes a
framework for the CEO in accordance with the Board's approved criteria. The Board of Directors has established the
target for the Group's solvency ratio to be above 1.25.
The CEO is responsible for the effective implementation of the Group's risk policies and that they are followed. The
CEO shall provide information to the Board on the Group's risk-taking which is close to the risk appetite limits and
inform the Board without delay if risk-taking exceeds the risk appetite.
The Chief Risk Officer is responsible for enforcing provisions related to risk management. Risk management
ensures that the Group's risk management system is managed, including policies and risk appetite, assists the
Board and other divisions in the effective operation of risk management systems, monitors the Group's overall risk
profile and manages own risk and solvency assessment.
The Group's policy on equity and dividends is to ensure it has sufficient equity to fulfil its commitments and meet
minimum own fund requirements despite potential setbacks.
The Board sets targets for the Group's solvency ratio as a part of establishing a risk appetite for the Group. The
calculation of the minimum own fund requirements is risk-based and takes into account all the main risks applicable
to the Group´s operation. The Group calculates it´s risk profile at least monthly in accordance with the Group´s risk
policy and risk appetite.

35.2 Own risk- and solvency assessment (ORSA)
The purpose of own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA) is to simplify the Group's optimization of solvency. The
objective of the ORSA is to inform how much solvency the Group needs compared to current and future risk-taking.
ORSA informs the Board, management and other relevant parties on the Group's risk profile, solvency need and risk
factors at any given time, thus enabling rational and well-informed decisions related to the Group's policies and risk-
taking.
ORSA is a continuous key process in the Group's operations and is inherent in its activities and thus enhances the
understanding of the relationship between the Group's risk profile, solvency and capital requirements for the shorter
and longer term.
The ORSA can be defined as the entirety of the processes and procedures employed to identify, assess, monitor,
manage, and report the short- and long-term risks which an insurance company faces or may be exposed to and to
determine the own funds necessary to ensure that the undertaking's overall solvency needs are met at all times. In
this connection, the Group has adopted an ORSA policy which has been approved by the Board.
35.3 Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss or unfavourable change in financial position, which arise directly or indirectly from
fluctuations in the market value of assets, provisions and financial instruments.
The main market risk factors that are specifically considered:
• Interest rate risk
• Equity risk
• Foreign exchange rate risk
35.4 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of loss from fluctuations in fair value of financial instruments due to a change in interest
rate (required rate of return). The duration of the assets is in most cases not the same as the duration of the liabilities
due to insurance contracts and therefore interest rate risk can arise in the operation of the Group.
Interest sensitivity analysis
The following table discloses the effect that 50 and 100 bp increase in interest on net interest bearing assets and on
the discounting of insurance contract liabilities, would have on profit or loss and on equity at the reporting date. The
sensitivity analysis is presented for interest bearing assets and is based on the presumption that all other variables
remain constant. The sensitivity is presented post-tax and therefore reflects the effect on profit or loss and equity.
The effect on profit or loss and equity is the same since changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments
are in no cases recognised directly in equity. A positive number indicates an increase in profit and equity. A
decrease of interest rates would have the same effect in the opposite direction.

35.5 Equity risk and other price risks of market securities
Equity risk is the risk of loss due to changes in the price of equities.
The Group's listed and unlisted equities are measured at fair value and therefore fluctuations in share prices have a
considerable effect on investment income. The management of the Group constantly monitors market developments to
be able to react to changes in equity risk.
The Group also invests in market debt securities to spread risk and even fluctuations in accordance with the Group
policy on investments.
The effect of 5% and 10% increases in the market value of equities and debt securities on profit or loss is disclosed
below, net of 20% income tax. Accordingly, 5% and 10% decreases in market value would have the same effect but
in the opposite direction.

35.6 Foreign exchange rate risk
Foreign exchange rate risk is the risk of loss from fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies. It arises if
there is a mismatch in position of assets and liabilities in individual foreign currencies.
The majority of the Group's assets and liabilities are denominated in ISK, but the Group also holds some foreign
financial assets. Information regarding those foreign currencies that have the largest impact on the Group's
operations is provided below.
Sensitivity analysis
The following table discloses the effect of 5% and 10% strengthening of the ISK against the respective foreign
currencies on profit or loss and equity. The analysis is based on the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
denominated in those currencies at the reporting date. The table above discloses those foreign assets and liabilities
on which the sensitivity analysis is based, which are mainly foreign denominated securities. The sensitivity analysis
is based on the assumption that all other variables remain constant. It is based on pre-tax effects, 20% income tax,
and reflects the impact on profit or loss and equity. The negative impact on profit or loss and equity is the same
since value changes of the underlying financial instruments are in no instances recognised directly in equity.
Impact on profit or loss and equity
A weakening of the ISK against the above mentioned foreign currencies would have a positive impact on profit and
equity.

35.7 Counterparty risk
The operations of the Group are based on three pillars: insurance, financial services and investments. Counterparty
risk exists in all three pillars and is mitigated using various approaches, including the monitoring of counterparty
exposures, collaterals, and credit ratings. Internal credit policies specify constraints on credit ratings of new
customers. Counterparty risk associated with insurance stems mainly from unpaid premiums, that are mitigated by
short maturities, and reinsurance exposures, that are mitigated by high credit ratings of reinsurance counterparties.
The main components of counterparty risk are the following:
• Risk of loss or unforeseeable change in financial position due to a counterparty's lower rating
• Risk of lower rating of a bond issuer (spread risk)
• The risk that a counterparty cannot meet a contractual obligation
The main sources of counterparty risk are:
• Primary insurance
• Reinsurance
• Lending
• Investments in debt securities
• Bank deposits
The Group's counterparty risk is regularly monitored.
Counterparty risk is specified as follows:
The Group's maximum exposure to counterparty risk corresponds to the carrying amounts disclosed above.

35.7. Counterparty risk (cont.)
Collateral against exposures to derivatives
The Group applies the same valuation methods to collateral held as other comparable assets held by the
Group. Haircuts are applied to the market value of the collateral for liquidity and other factors which may affect the
applied collateral value of the asset.
35.8 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not have enough liquid assets or not being able to sell assets in time and
therefore encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations when due.
The liquidity position, its development as well as the impact of market conditions and future outlook is monitored on
a regular basis. Particular emphasis is placed on there being always adequate liquid assets to meet expected
payments of both claims and other liabilities. The Group's expected payments are very well covered by its liquidity
position. The Group's policy on liquid assets is to have at a minimum enough liquid assets, including access to credit
lines, to cover the operating costs of the parent company for 3 months, in addition to at least ISK 500 million to
support subsidiaries if they run into difficulties. It is part of the Group’s risk policy that each subsidiary adheres to
its own liquidity risk policy.
Expected cash flows of liabilities is specified as follows:

35.8 Liquidity risk (cont.)
Liquidity risk of financial services activities is specified as follows:
The main measure of the bank's liquidity risk is the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) as defined in Rules No. 1520/2022
of the Central Bank of Iceland and the bank adheres to prudent internal standards regarding the minimum liquidity
coverage ratio. The bank's liquidity coverage ratio was 286% on 31.12.2024, while the minimum liquidity coverage
ratio according to the CBI's rules is 100%.
Time analysis of assets and liabilities in respect of Fossar financial liabilities and assets
The tables show non-discounted contractual interest and principal payments in respect of Fossar financial liabilities
and assets. The aggregates for each liability and asset type are therefore higher than the corresponding figures in the
consolidated statement of financial position. For contractual obligations, amounts are broken down by period
depending on when contractual principal payments and estimated interest payments occur. Liabilities which do not
have a contractual maturity date are classified based on the assumption that the customer will demand payment
from the Group at the first opportunity.
35.9 Insurance risk
Insurance risk compromises of underwriting risk and reserve risk. The underwriting risk is the risk that the insurance
premiums are not sufficient to cover the losses and other of the insurance contracts.
The underwriting risk is the risk that the insurance premiums collected are not sufficient to cover losses, claims, or
expenses arising from the insurance contracts. It can be broken down into life, health, and non-life insurance risks,
each of which can be further divided into sub-categories. The main risk drivers are increase in claims frequency,
claims inflation, large loss events and loss of a single large risk.
Mitigation measures for underwriting risk typically include rigours monitoring of the insurance risk, prudent risk
selection, well diversified business across many different risk groups, premium setting based on actuarial analysis,
policy terms, and the use of reinsurance to transfer a portion of the risk.
Reserve risk refers to the possibility that the technical provisions (reserves) held by the insurer are insufficient to
cover future claim obligations. Inadequate reserves may result from inaccurate estimates of future claims or
changes in assumptions such as inflation rates or legal settlements.
To mitigate reserve risk, the Group regularly reviews and reassesses technical provisions using actuarial
methodologies. This includes applying historical claims data, trend analyses, and stress-testing scenarios.
Independent actuarial assessments may also be used to ensure the adequacy of reserves.

35.9 Insurance risk (cont.)
The underwriting risk is mainly managed in the insurance guidelines and via business processes and underwriting
rules.
Reinsurance is used to manage part of the underwriting risk. The is mainly the risk of large claims or major events.
The reserve risk is managed through the insurance guidelines, in which the guidelines for reserving are set out.
Reserves for the long-tailed risk are subject to discounting and inflation risk. These risks are managed through groups
assets portfolio matching the financial risks.
Sensitivity analysis of claims in the insurance business
The following table shows the impact of a 1% change in claim amounts, the claims provision and premiums on the
Group's profit or loss and equity. A 1% decrease in claim amounts would have the same effect but in the opposite
direction.
The main risk factors involve mistakes in the processing and settlement of claims, wrong decision-making or fraud
by employees. There is also a risk that the claimant gives wrong information or exaggerates the effects of the loss,
i.e. insurance fraud. Other risks relate to the handling of sensitive personal information and that the Group's
contractors will go beyond their purview.
Reinsurance counterparty risk
Reinsurers' risk is among other things the risk that reinsurers do not meet their obligations of paying their share of
claims, the reinsurance amount is not adequate, there is a mismatch between primary insurance and reinsurance
and different interpretation between the insurer and the reinsurer regarding the reinsurance agreement. The
Group's reinsurance policy stipulates that its reinsurers shall have a rating from an international rating agency.
Limits are applied regarding reinsurance from each individual reinsurer. Ratings requirements depend on the
estimated settlement period of claims in each contract. In addition, the number of reinsurers in each contract and
the maximum risk exposure of each reinsurer is based on that reinsurer's rating. The following table shows the
disaggregation of premiums to reinsurers based on their latest available credit rating.

Credit Risk from insurance activities
At 31 December 2024, the maximum exposure to credit risk from insurance contracts totals 8.178 million, which
primarily relates to premiums receivable for insurance services which the Group has already provided.
35.10 Credit risk of financial activities
Credit risk is the risk that counterparties will not be able to meet their obligations, that will result in losses on financial
instruments. The main sources of credit risk are loans to customers, deposits with other financial institutions and
derivatives. Management regularly monitors the development of assets related to credit risk, and the company has
implemented policies and rules aimed at minimizing the likelihood of credit losses by, e.g., imposing stricter
requirements for security and choosing counterparties diligently. The underlying collateral is not taken into account
when estimating the maximum credit risk.
The maximum exposure to credit risk corresponds to the carrying amounts disclosed below:
Cash and cash equivalents are bank deposits with financial institutions that the bank considers to be trustworthy
and are also mostly insured, and management therefore assesses the credit risk of cash and cash equivalent as
being insignificant. Securities consist of government bonds and government bills where the credit risk is considered
insignificant. Management assesses credit risk due to accounts receivable, other receivables, receivables from
related entities and loans to customers on a case-by-case basis based on individual customers and receivables as
there are relatively few debtors.
The tables below show changes in provisions by type of financial asset and level of the IFRS 9 impairment model.
Changes from level 1 to level 2 occur when there has been a significant increase in credit risk. An upgrade from level
1 and 2 to level 3 occurs when there is an objective indication of impairment. Downgrades occur when there is no
longer an objective indication of impairment (from level 3) or when the credit risk has decreased and is no longer
considered to have significantly increased since the initial classification (from level 2 to level 1).
No movement between levels 1, 2 and 3 occurred in 2023 and 2024.

e. Loan-to-value
The loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is the ratio of the gross amount of the loan to the value of the collateral, if any, for the
loans to customers of the Bank. The general creditworthiness of a customer is viewed as the most reliable indicator
of credit quality of a loan. Besides collateral included in the LTV ratios the Bank uses other risk mitigation measures,
such as guarantees, negative pledge, cross-collateral and collateralization of non-quantifiable assets.
The breakdown of loans to customers by LTV is specified as follows:
35.12 Operational risk
Operational risk consists of all risks that are related to regular operations of the Group and its subsidiaries and is
defined as a risk of direct or indirect loss due to insufficient or faulty internal systems or working
procedures, conduct of employees or external factors, such as legal risk. The Group's policy is to reduce
operational risk, taking the cost and effectiveness of preventive measures into account.
The main components of operational risk are the following:
• Organisational structure
• Documentation and contracting
• Information technology

35.13 Concentration of risk
The Group is exposed to concentration of risk arising from insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 17, which
could result in significant impacts from specific events or economic conditions affecting certain geographical
regions, insurance lines, or weather-related conditions. The primary sources of risk concentration include:
Geographical Risk: Exposure to regions prone to natural disasters, economic downturns, or regulatory changes.
Lines of Insurance Risk: Dependence on specific insurance products that may be susceptible to adverse claims
experience.
Weather-Related Risk: Increased exposure to extreme weather events such as severe storms, floods, and wildfires,
as well as severe winter conditions leading to higher incidences of car accidents and storms causing property
damage.

35.13 Concentration of risk (cont.)
The Group actively manages these risks through diversification strategies, reinsurance arrangements, and
underwriting policies to mitigate potential financial impacts. Sensitivity analyses and stress testing are conducted
regularly to assess the resilience of the portfolio against risk concentrations.
35.14 Internal management and control
The Group's policy is to have a well-organized and reliable internal control framework. The framework is articulated
by the Board, the subsidiaries Board’s, their management and employees and is designed to give reasonable
assurance of the achievement of the Group's objectives on:
• Performance and efficiency of operations (operational targets)
• Reliability of information data (accurate information target)
• Compliance with laws and regulations (compliance target)
To achieve those objectives, the Group's internal management and control systems are divided into the following five
components:
• Control environment
• Risk assessment
• Control procedures
• Information and communication
• Management controls
The policy is based on the COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission) Internal
Control– Integrated Framework, published in May 2013.
Internal management and control are reflected in the Group’s and subsidiaries’ procedures, practices, code of
conduct and human resources policy. It is a normal part of the Group's activities and is integrated with its operations.
However, internal management and control are subject to human limitations such as mistakes and the intention to
circumvent the Group's rules and other unforeseeable factors.
35.15 Combined ratio
The combined ratio is the sum of incurred claims, insurance contract operating expenses and net expenses from
reinsurance contracts as a proportion of insurance revenue. The claims ratio, insurance contracts expense ratio and
net reinsurance ratio are calculated as a proportion of the insurance revenue.
The following table shows the combined ratio and other key ratios of the insurance operations for the past five years.

38. Material accounting policies
The accounting policies as set out below have been applied consistently for all periods described in the annual
financial statements and for all the Group's entities.
To increase the information value of the annual financial statements, notes are included based on their relevance
and importance for the readers of these statements. Therefore, information that is neither considered important nor
relevant for the readers of the annual financial statements is not included in the notes.
38.1 The Group
The Group's annual financial statements include the annual financial statements of the Parent Company and its
subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to or
has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through
its control over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
The financial results of subsidiaries acquired or sold during the year are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition to the date of disposal, as applicable.
The consolidated financial statements include the revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities of the Group from
transactions with third parties. Intercompany transitions are eliminated in the consolidated accounts. Where
applicable, the financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted to align them with the accounting policies of the
Group.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Profit or loss and
each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent company and to the non-
controlling interests.
38.2 Associates
Associates are those companies in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, over their financial
and operating policy. Significant influence is usually present when the Company holds 20% to 50% of the voting
rights, including any potential exercisable voting rights. Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity
method.
Equity method
The equity method is an accounting policy whereby investments in associates are initially recognised at cost and the
carrying amount is subsequently adjusted in accordance with any changes in the Company's share of the net assets
of the associates. The Company's share of the profit of an associate is recognised as part of the Company's profit or
loss. If the Company's share of loss of an associate exceeds its carrying amount, the Company does not recognise
any further share of loss unless it has issued guarantees on behalf of the associate or financed its operations. In
subsequent periods, the Company does not recognise any share of the profit of associates until the unrecognised
share of loss has been equalised.
38.3 Goodwill
Goodwill that arises from acquisitions is recognised on the date the Company achieves control of the acquired
company. Goodwill is the difference between the acquisition price of a subsidiary and the acquirer's interest in the
net assets of the subsidiary, at fair value at the acquisition date. Goodwill is not amortised but tested annually for
impairment or more often if there is any indication of impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is
allocated to cash-generating units. Those cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for
impairment. Impairment has occurred if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment is first
recognised by the expense of goodwill and thereafter as a reduction of the carrying amount of other assets of that
cash-generating unit. Impairment losses of goodwill are not reversed in later periods.

38.4 Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currency are recognised at the prevailing exchange rate on the transaction date. Monetary
assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are recognised at the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the reporting
date. Foreign exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
38.5 Insurance Revenue
Insurance revenue is recognized over the coverage period in line with the transfer of insurance services to the
policyholder. Under the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA), insurance revenue reflects the release of the Liability
for Remaining Coverage (LRC) as services are provided over time.
Measurement of the Liability for Remaining Coverage (LRC)
Initial Recognition: At the inception of the contract, the LRC is measured as the premiums received (or
receivable), net of any acquisition cash flows if applicable. If a financing component exists, the LRC is
discounted accordingly.
Subsequent Measurement: The LRC is reduced over the coverage period as insurance services are
provided, with the corresponding amount recognized as insurance revenue. Adjustments are made for
changes in estimates of future premiums and expected claims.
Recognition of Insurance Revenue Insurance revenue for each reporting period is derived from the amount of the
LRC released as services are provided of the period. The Group allocates the revenue on a straight-line basis over
the coverage period. If the expected pattern of the release of service differs significantly from the straight-line basis,
then the allocation is changed to the expected pattern for release of service. The group changes the method if facts
and circumstance change.
Key considerations for recognizing insurance revenue:
Time-Based Recognition: If insurance coverage is provided evenly over the contract period, revenue is
recognized on a straight-line basis.
Alternative Systematic Approaches: If the risk profile changes over time, an alternative allocation method
is used to reflect the transfer of services more accurately.
Adjustments for Premium Changes: Revenue is adjusted for cancellations, modifications, and other
changes in premium estimates.
Premiums received in advance for future coverage periods are recorded as part of the LRC and recognized as revenue
when the coverage is provided. Insurance revenue is presented separately from the insurance service result, which
includes claims incurred, risk adjustments, and other related expenses.
38.6 Insurance service expenses
Insurance service expenses include both the operating expenses of insurance contracts, and the claims expensed
during the year. Claims expensed consist of claims incurred during the year as well as the effect of reassessment of
claims from previous years. The liability due to claims incurred consists of the total amount of reported and
unsettled claims as well as an actuarial estimation of incurred but unreported claims.

38.7 Insurance contracts
The Group issues contracts that transfer both financial and insurance risk from its customers to the Group.
Definition of insurance contracts
Insurance contracts are contracts under which the insurer agrees, in accordance with the term of the contract, to
compensate the policyholder for financial loss incurred due to an insured event.
The insured event is uncertain, it is not known if or when it occurs, and generally its financial consequences are not
known beforehand.
Classification of insurance contracts
Insurance contracts are classified into categories based on the nature of the insured risk, life insurance and non-life
insurance with non-life insurance contracts consisting of liability insurance contracts, accident insurance contracts
and property insurance contracts, including marine and cargo insurance contracts.
Liability insurance contracts protect the customer from the risk of causing harm to third parties as a result of their
legitimate activities. Accident insurance contracts compensate the insured own bodily injuries in accordance with
contractual provisions.
Property insurance contracts compensate the Group's customers for damage to or loss of property. Customers that
carry on commercial activities may also be entitled to compensation for a loss of earnings if their business is
curtailed or temporarily suspended due to damage to the insured property.
Life insurance contracts are related to human life, for instance death or living beyond the insurance period. Premiums
are recognized as revenue over the life of the contract. Compensation is expensed when an insured event occurs.
Within each category, it is assessed whether contracts can become onerous based on the assumption that pricing
or underlying risks will lead to a loss on the contract during the contract period. If a contract proves to be onerous,
the expected loss from the contract is recognised as an expense through profit or loss. No groups of agreements have
been identified at the Group that are considered onerous.
Contract boundaries
Contract boundaries define the cash flows within the boundary of each insurance contract. The measurement of a
group of insurance contracts includes all future cash flows arising within the contract boundary. In determining which
cash flows fall within the contract boundary, substantive rights and obligations arising from the terms of the contract,
together with applicable laws and regulations, are considered.
The large majority of insurance contracts have a less than one-year contract boundary, typically until the next renewal
date, i.e. contract has one-year coverage period during which there are substantive rights and obligations.
The group uses the same principles for the contract boundaries of reinsurance contracts held.

38.7 Insurance contracts (cont.)
Insurance contract liabilities
Liability for remaining coverage:
The Group uses the premium allocation approach (PAA) to simplify the measurement of groups of insurance
contracts. On initial recognition of each group of contracts, the carrying amount of the liability for remaining coverage
is measured as the premiums received on initial recognition.
The large majority of insurance contracts issued by the group have a coverage period of one year or less. For contracts
where the coverage period is over one year, it is calculated that the obligation for remaining coverage will not deviate
significantly from the obligation that would have been arrived at by applying the general measurement model called
GMM, and therefore PAA will also be used for these contracts.
The Group has chosen to expense insurance acquisition cash flows when they are incurred. The coverage period is
defined as the period when an insured event can occur.
Subsequently, the carrying amount of the liability for remaining coverage is increased by any premiums received and
decreased by the amount recognised as insurance revenue for services provided.
Services is usually provided based on passage of time.
If at any time during the coverage period, facts and circumstances indicate that a group of contracts is onerous, then
the Group recognises a loss in profit or loss and increases the liability for remaining coverage to the extent that the
current estimates of the fulfilment cash flows that relate to remaining coverage exceed the carrying amount of the
liability for remaining coverage.
Liability for incurred claims:
Liability for Incurred claims is measured as the total of the expected fulfilment cash flows, which comprise estimates
of future cash flows, adjusted to reflect the time value of money and the associated financial risks, and a risk
adjustment for non-financial risk.
Claims and claims handling costs including expected claims handling costs are expensed in the statement of profit
or loss as incurred based on the estimated future cash flows to policyholders or third parties to fulfil the obligations
toward policyholders.
Claims include direct claims handling costs that arise from events that have occurred up to the statement of financial
position date even if they have not yet been reported to the Group.
The Group recognises the liability for incurred claims of a group of insurance contracts at the amount of the fulfilment
cash flows relating to incurred claims. The future fulfilment cash flows are discounted (at current rates) and
adjusted for the effect of future inflation. Fulfilment cash flows are estimated using the assessments of individual
cases reported to the Group and statistical analyses of claims incurred but not reported. The provisions include
claims handling costs.
Assumptions and interdependencies
Level of aggregation and the evaluation of contract boundary are significant assumptions as these define the use of
the premium allocation model’s simplified measurement model. Discounting and adjustment for future inflation
affects in particular long tailed claims where the assessment of the actual claim takes time. This is the case for
claims in motor liability, professional liability, workers’ compensation, personal accident.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
38.7 Insurance contracts (cont.)
Liability for incurred claims is determined for each line of business based on actuarial methods. Expected cash fl
flows are adjusted for the future effect of inflation. The models currently used are Chain-Ladder, Bornhuetter
Ferguson. In some instances, historic data used in the actuarial models need to be supplemented with predictions for
the expected future development of claims. This is used when there are structural changes in underlying insurance
risk. In this situation, the historical data is supplemented with an a priori estimate for the expected change in the
level of claims.
Measurement, reinsurance contracts held
The Group applies the same principles to measure a group of reinsurance contracts and insurance contracts
issued, adapted where necessary to reflect features that differ from those of insurance contracts.
The Liability for remaining coverage is measured using the PAA method. The large majority of reinsurance held have
a coverage period of one year or less. For contracts where the coverage period is over one year, the obligation for
remaining coverage will not deviate significantly from the obligation that would have been arrived at by applying the
general measurement model called GMM, and therefore PAA will also be used for these contracts.
If a loss-recovery component is created for a group of reinsurance contracts measured under the PAA, then the Group
adjusts the carrying amount of the asset for remaining coverage.
Risk adjustment for non-financial risk for reinsurance contracts are modelled using similar statistical models as for
direct insurance contract so that it represents the amount of risk being transferred by the holder of the group of
reinsurance contracts to the issuer of those contracts.
Principles for Discounting
Discounting under IFRS 17 involves adjusting future cash flows to present value to reflect the time value of money.
Liability for incurred claims is discounted to reflect the time value of money and the associated financial risks at the
reporting date. Discount rate reflects the yield curve in the appropriate currency for instruments that expose the
holder to no or negligible credit risk, adjusted to reflect the liquidity characteristics of payment of future incurred
claims.
The EIOPA risk free discount meets these requirements and have been used.
Principles for Risk Adjustment
The risk adjustment represents the compensation an entity requires for bearing the uncertainty about the amount
and timing of the cash flows that arises from non-financial risk as the entity fulfils insurance contracts. The risk
adjustment for non-financial risk (RA) reflects the compensation required by the insurer to bear the uncertainty of
the amount and timing of cash flows arising from non-financial risk. Sources of the uncertainty about the amount
and timing of the cash flows are linked to the determination of the LIC, stated above, and the estimation of the future
cash flows, i.e. when the claims payments take place.
RA is calculated on a group level for the insurance business. A cost of capital approach is chosen, and risk
adjustment is chosen to represent a confidence level of 85 per cent.
Risk adjustment for non-financial risk for reinsurance contracts are modelled using similar statistical models as for
direct insurance contract so that it represents the amount of risk being transferred by the holder of the group of
reinsurance contracts to the issuer of those contracts.

38.7 Insurance contracts (cont.)
Principles for Level of Aggregation
Insurance contracts are aggregated into portfolios of insurance contracts. A portfolio comprises of insurance
contracts with similar risks that are managed together. These portfolios are further divided into annual cohorts, i.e.
contracts not issued more than one year apart based in a risk basis. Portfolios are determined based on a
segmentation of business, or a combination of line of business (as defined by the management), business area and
country.
No material onerous contracts have been identified.
Principles for Separation
Contracts that transfer a significant insurance risk are classified as insurance contracts. Contracts held by the group
under which it transfers significant insurance risk related to underlying insurance contracts are classified as
reinsurance contracts.
The Group issues certain group of life insurance policies, which included a life insurance part, and a separate unit
linked saving part. Using the principles for separation, these contracts are split into a savings and an insurance
component. The savings component is valued using IFRS 9, because the investment risk is borne by the policyholder,
and it is distinct from the insurance risk. The insurance component is valued using IFRS17.
These principles ensure that insurance contracts are measured accurately, transparently, and in a manner that
reflects the economic reality of the underlying risks and cash flows.
Insurance acquisition cost
All insurance acquisition costs are recognized immediately in the statement of profit or loss as an expense in the
period in which they are incurred.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
38.7 Insurance contracts (cont.)
Reinsurance contracts held
The Group enters into reinsurance contracts with the purpose of mitigating its risk. Reinsurance contracts held are
either proportional or cover the total risk if the loss from a claim event exceeds the pre-agreed claim amount.
Premium on reinsurance contracts held are recognised as reinsurance expenses and on reinsurers held as claims
received. These consists of claims on reinsurers due to their share of the claims provision. The Group applies the
same accounting policies to measure a group of reinsurance contracts, adapted where necessary to reflect
features that differ from those of insurance contracts.
Risk adjustment for non-financial risk for reinsurance contracts are modelled using similar statistical models as for
direct insurance contract so that it represents the amount of risk being transferred by the holder of the group of
reinsurance contracts to the issuer of those contracts.
38.8 Interest income and expenses
Interest income is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as it accrues.
Interest expense on financial liabilities measured at amortised cost is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as
it accrues.
38.9 Fee and commission income and expenses
Fee and commission income is mainly due to the Company's services to clients in the field of asset management,
fund management and corporate consulting. Fee and commission income and expense for services provided over a
certain period are recognized as the services are provided. Performance-related fees are recognized as income when
the set target has been reached.
38.10 Net financial income
Net financial income, stems from insurance investment activities and consists of interest income from bank
deposits, exchange rate gains from monetary assets and liabilities and interest-bearing financial receivables, fair
value changes of financial assets through the statement of profit or loss, and
unwinding, interest and exchange rate change of technical provision. Dividend income from investments is
recognised on the date when the right to a dividend is established. Dividends are presented as a component of net
financial income.
Financial expenses consist of interest expenses on interest-bearing financial liabilities, exchange rate losses on
monetary assets and liabilities and fair value changes of financial assets. Financial expenses are recognised during
the period in which they are incurred.

38.11 Income taxes
Income taxes expensed consists of current taxes and deferred tax.
Current tax
Current taxes are the taxes expected to be payable on taxable income for the year, and any adjustment to taxes
payable in respect of previous years. Taxable income for the year is generally different from profit or loss before tax
according to the financial statements. Calculated income tax is based on the tax rates in effect at the reporting
date.
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is due to a temporary difference between taxable income and profit or loss according to the fi
financial statements. This is because the Group's tax base is based on assumptions different from the financial
statements. Deferred income tax is not recognised on non-deductible goodwill.
A deferred tax asset is estimated at the reporting date and is recognised only to the extent that it is probable
that future taxable income will be available against which the tax asset can be utilised in the future.
Deferred income tax is expensed in profit or loss unless it is related to items recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, in which case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
38.12 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of unrestricted deposits with financial institutions, and highly liquid financial
assets that are due within three months from the acquisition date and can easily be converted into cash where risk
of changes in their fair value is insignificant.
38.13 Financial assets
Initial recognition
Financial assets are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition
or issue of financial assets (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted
from the fair value of the financial assets, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable
to the acquisition of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Classification of financial assets
All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value,
depending on the classification of the financial assets. The classification of financial assets is based on the business
model within which they are held and their contractual cash flow characteristics. All regular way purchases or sales
of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are
purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation
or convention in the marketplace.

38.13 Financial assets (cont.)
Financial assets at amortised cost
A financial asset which is intended to hold to maturity and where the contractual payments on set due dates consist
only of payments of principal and interest shall be recorded at amortised cost unless the instrument is defined at fair
value through profit or loss in accordance with the fair value option. Such assets are initially recognised at fair value
plus any related transaction costs. After the initial recognition, such financial assets are valued at amortised cost
based on the effective interest rate, less impairment. All loans and receivables of Fossar are recognised at
amortised cost.
Financial assets at fair value
Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is both to collect the contractual cash flows
and to sell the debt instruments, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive
income unless the fair value option is applied. All other debt investments and equity investments not measured at
amortised cost are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are recorded at fair value
through profit or loss, except for derivatives that have been defined as hedging instruments in hedge accounting. The
Group did not recognise any financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income during the prior year
but began to purchase bonds during the year with the aim of managing its liquidity needs, with a business model of
hold to collect or sell. Fair value changes of these bonds are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group's loans and receivables fall under the IFRS 9 impairment model. Estimates of expected credit losses are
updated at each reporting date, and the impairment model divides financial assets into three stages:
Stage 1
All financial assets at initial recognition, with a few exceptions. Expected credit losses are estimated based on the
probability of default in the next 12 months from the reporting date.
Stage 2
A significant increase in credit risk has occurred. Expected credit losses are estimated based on the probability of
default during the lifetime of the financial asset.
Stage 3
There are objective indications of impairment. Expected credit losses are estimated based on the probability of
default during the lifetime of the financial asset.
All financial assets within the scope of the impairment model are recorded at stage 1 at initial recognition, with the
exception of financial assets that are impaired at initial recognition and financial assets covered by the simplified
model of the standard (e.g. trade receivables with payment due in less than 12 months).
Since there are relatively few receivables (excluding insurance contracts for which credit risk is considered limited),
management assesses expected credit losses separately for individual receivables. Therefore, the Group does not
apply the presumption that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition
when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due and that objective indicators of impairment exist when
payments are more than 90 days past due.
If the credit risk of a financial asset in level 2 or 3 decreases and the reasons for this are not considered short-term,
the relevant financial asset is lowered by a level, i.e. to level 1 or 2 depending on the circumstances.

38.13 Financial assets (cont.)
Definition of default
Management believes that objective indications of impairment exist if it is considered likely that the debtor will not
be able to fully meet its obligations to the Group. The following are examples of circumstances where the Group
believes that objective indications of impairment exist:
- a debtor has applied for bankruptcy, a company has been deregistered, or if a company no longer operates on a
going concern
- it is considered unlikely that the debtor will meet his obligations due to violations of the terms of the loan agreement
or his financial restructuring
Final write-off of financial assets
Receivables are written off when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty
and there is no realistic prospect of recovery.
38.14 Customer relationships
Customer relationships, recognised upon acquisition of operations, are amortised over the estimated useful life,
which is 10 years.
38.15 Software
Software is recognized at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. The cost price consists of the
purchase price and all direct costs associated with getting the software into use. Software is amortised using the
straight-line method over 3 to10 year from the date it is taken into use.
38.16 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognised when it is probable that economic benefits embodied in the asset will
flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. Property, plant and equipment assets are recognised at cost
value less accumulated depreciation and impairment. The cost of property, plant and equipment assets consists of
the purchase price and all directly attributable cost necessary to make the asset capable of generating revenue.
Property, plant and equipment are recognised at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment.
Depreciation is recognised on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset, taking into account its
estimated residual value. The depreciation method expected useful life and residual value are reviewed at least
annually.
Gain or loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated as the difference between the sale price
and carrying amount. It is recognised in profit or loss as part of other income.
38.17 Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, management reviews the carrying amount of tangible and intangible assets for indications of
impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. The recoverable amount
of a cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs is estimated if it is not possible to test the asset individually for
impairment.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less estimated cost to sell and value in use. Value in use is based
on estimated future cash flows, discounted at the pre-tax rate of interest, where the interest rate reflects the market
assessment of time value of money at each time and the risk embodied in the asset.

38.17 Impairment of non-financial assets (cont.)
Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and intangible assets not ready for use are tested for impairment annually
and more often if there is any indication of impairment.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the
recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
A recovery of the asset, subsequent to impairment recognition, is reversed. However, reversal is limited to the
amount of the asset not being recognised at an amount higher than its carrying amount prior to the impairment
recognition. Reversal of impairment of goodwill is prohibited.
38.18 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recorded at fair value upon initial recognition. Transaction costs that are directly attributable
to the purchase or issuance of financial liabilities that are not recognized at fair value through profit or loss are added
to or deducted from fair value at initial recognition as appropriate. Transaction costs in respect of financial liabilities
that are recognised at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are valued at amortised cost based on the effective interest rate. The Group derecognises fi
financial liabilities only when the obligation associated with them no longer exists. Gains or losses due to the
derecognition are recorded in profit or loss.
38.19 Equity instruments
An equity instrument is a contract that evidences residual interests in assets of the Group after deduction of all its
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at cost less the direct costs of their issuance.
Purchases of own shares are recognised as a reduction in the total share capital. No gains or losses are recognised
through profit or loss due to the purchase, sale or issuance of own shares.
38.20 Provisions
A provision is recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation due to a past event, payment is
probable, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably determined.
The amount of the provision is based on the best possible estimation of the liability at the reporting date. If the
amount of the provision is based on estimated future cash flows, it is recognised at present value.
If the provision is recoverable from a third party, the recoverable amount is recognised as an asset.
38.21 Leases
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a
right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee,
except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date. For discounting the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate when the rate implicit in the
lease cannot be readily determined.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease
liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments
made.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset.

38.22 Earnings per share
The Group presents basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for ordinary shares in the statement of
profit or loss. Basic earnings per share are calculated as a percentage of the profit allocated to the ordinary
shareholders in the company, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by taking into account all shares, whether issued or potential shares at the
reporting date, such as share options granted to employees.
38.23 New standards, interpretations and amendments to standards
In the current year, the Group has applied a number of amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that
begins on or after 1 January 2024. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the
amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements.

Non-financial and sustainability reporting
Business model
Skagi’s main operations consist of insurance operations, investments, asset and fund management and investment
banking. Fundamentally, these activities of the Group are divided into three main areas of focus, namely insurance
activities, financial services and investments.
Sustainability focus
Skagi places emphasis on sustainability being integrated into all of the Group's operations. Information in our
sustainability reporting is based on a sustainability policy which emphasises certain priorities in ESG (environmental,
social and governance) areas that are relevant to the activities of the Group. The Company's Board of Directors is
responsible for the policy; the CEO and senior management are responsible for its implementation and ensuring it is
followed in the Company's operations.
Non-financial and sustainability reporting in Skagi consolidated account is reported in accordance with laws on
annual accounts. In the Annual and Sustainability Report of the Group a more detailed summary of non-financial
information about Skagi and its subsidiaries is provided. The summary is based on Nasdaq's ESG guidelines and
climate impact calculations are performed by third parties in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol
methodology. Annual and Sustainability Report for 2024 will be published on Skagi’s website www.skagi.is. Non-
financial disclosure for the subsidiaries can also be found in their annual financial statements and further
sustainability information on their respective websites.
Skagi received 80 points in Reitun's ESG evaluation in 2024, which is the same as the year before. Skagi continues to
work towards improving it sustainability rating. With regards to that the Group has initiated work for implementation
of European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting
Directive (CSRD). Accordingly we publish further sustainability information on all subsidiaries of the Group.
Furthermore we now provide further information in accordance with the EU Taxonomy regulation and classification
system. We continue to work on incorporating the ESRS standards, which will include re-visiting double materiality
assessment and updating our sustainability policy on group basis in the year 2025. Sustainability is also being further
incorporated into the Corporate Governance statement, remuneration policy and risk management of the Group.
Skagi is a member of Festa, a centre for social responsibility, IcelandSIF, an organisation that promotes responsible
investment, and a signatory of UN-PRI, the United Nations principles for responsible investment. Skagi is also a

Sustainability statement
Skagi’s Annual Report, published on Skagi’s website,contains a sustainability statement along with a more detailed
summary of non-financial information about Skagi and its subsidiaries. The summary is based on Nasdaq's ESG
guidelines and climate impact calculations are performed by third parties in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas
Protocol methodology.
The selection of key ESG metrics was based on a materiality assessment of the insurance sector and an examination
of leading foreign insurance companies with regards to ESG performance. The assessment is mainly based on VÍS's
operations but on Group basis as applicable. Further details below is provided about the actions taken in the 2024
operating year.
Environment
Skagi received 88 points for the environmental component in Reitun's ESG evaluation, increasing its score by one
point from the prior year. In the justification, it was stated that Skagi operates according to measureable
environmental goals and has purchased verified carbon units for measure emissions. VÍS also aims to calculate
emissions from its insurance and asset portfolio, thus becoming the first Icelandic insurance company to calculate
its insurance carbon footprint. Skagi conducts a risk assessment in relation to climate change which is part of the
Company's risk management system, and the Board of Directors and management are actively involved in climate-
related matters.

Sustainability in claims and services
Used spare parts have been used for car repairs for many years in Iceland, and for the past 30 years, VIS has sold
around 1,000 damaged cars each year at auctions where the cars are either repaired or disassembled in order to give
spare parts a second life. VIS is the only insurance company in Iceland that has held closed auctions of damaged
cars exclusively for spare parts dealers who have the required permits to resell used spare parts.
It is important for VIS to actively contribute to supporting the circular economy. This is done, for example, with
experimental projects, such as cooperation with parts dealers in the demolition of damaged cars with the aim of
increasing the supply of used spare parts for vehicle repairs. During the year, work continued on a project in which
45 cars of certain types were selected to go to a parts dealer for demolition. The result is that around 20% of the spare
parts gained a second life by being used in car repairs. The turnover rate of the spare parts is low, but there is a lot of
learning to be had from the project that will be useful in our continuing eorts to support the circular economy.
VIS emphasises repairing vehicles as much as possible instead of replacing parts. The proportion of plastic and car
window repairs is lower in Iceland than in comparison countries. VIS has the goal of increasing the percentage of
repairs instead of parts being replaced. The ratio of windshield repairs to windshield replacements grew from 16% to
19.6% between years, and VIS aims for an even higher percentage. Estimated savings in carbon emissions are about
43.5 kgCO2 for each windshield that is repaired instead of replaced.
Good results were achieved during the year in increasing electronic and paperless transactions in order to reduce
paper consumption and reduce carbon emissions from employee and customer travel, whether through increased
electronic claim notifications, video calls to assess water damage or increased sales through the vastly improved
VIS online store. The use of electronic signatures at VÍS resulted in savings of 194,931 kilometers according to
calculations done by the software company Taktikal.
During the year, VÍS increased its focus on providing more sustainable options for consumers when it comes to
shopping for insurance online. VÍS customers can now buy insurance online in a matter of minutes, which saves time
while also providing increased transparency and convenience.
Verified carbon units
For the fourth year in a row, Skagi oset emissions from its operations with Climate Impact Partners verified units.
The projects selected reflect the chosen Global Goals.

Ökuvísir.
Social
Skagi received 90 points for the social component in Reitun's ESG evaluation and continues to pay close attention to
human resources, job satisfaction and customer satisfaction. VÍS has made it a priority to increase customer
satisfaction. In 2024, it ranked third in the customer satisfaction survey and was the only insurance company to
increase its ranking from the prior year. The Company closely monitors the satisfaction of its customers, both through
measurements that are carried out after service contacts as well as by purchasing measurements from independent
parties that measure the market as a whole. One of VÍS's goals for 2024 was to increase the number of proactive
contacts with its customers as well as implementing a service policy that puts VÍS's customers first.
Human resources and remuneration policy
The satisfaction and engagement of employees continues to measure very high, continuing the trend of recent years.
Engagement measured 4.33 at VÍS on a scale of 1-5 while job satisfaction measured at 4.47, with 94% of employees
being satisfied or very satisfied in their jobs. These are excellent results. The Company's updated remuneration policy
now states focus on sustainability and a link with long-term interests. Therefore, as of 2025, sustainability
performance will be included in the criteria used in the employee incentive scheme.
Grants to the community
Skagi is committed to being present in its local communities throughout Iceland. Through our service oices outside
the Greater Reykjavik area, we support various social issues and sports. In addition, VÍS allocates ISK 10 million each
year to social projects in accordance with the grant policy at any given time. Grants were awarded during the year to
prevention projects such as a video on safety equipment for horse riding, reflective vests for primary school children,
Consolidated Financial Statements 31 December 2024 83 All amounts are in thousands of ISK
ski helmets at a ski area, free condoms at the Þjóðhátíð festival and a grant to restore the website of the Fire
Protection Association. In addition, over 1,800 back seat car mirrors were given to customers who are new parents,
as these can significantly increase safety in traic and reduce the likelihood of distraction. First aid courses for young
parents were also oered along with other prevention courses for both companies and individuals. When the people
of Grindavík had to leave their homes at the end of last year due to seismic activity in the Reykjanes peninsula, VÍS
decided to reimburse individuals and companies for insurance on real estate and homes that amounted to up to 6
months of premiums. Every year Fossar supports a good cause by supplying all revenue of the bank for one day,
called the “Thanks Day” along with grants from customers and partners. Fossar held its first Thanks Day in November
2015 when Mæðrastyrksnefnd was awarded the first grant of ISK 2.5 million. Since then, the donations have
increased annually in line with Fossar's increased activities, and including the amount raised last year (26.5 million),
the Thanks Day has returned a total of over ISK 140 million to grant recipients of good cause since the collection
began.

Governance
Skagi received 76 points for governance, an increase of one point from the prior year. General governance and
business ethics were considered to be in good order at the Company. Following the creation of the Skagi Group,
governance practices have been updated in line with the Group's new structure. The activities of Skagi's board of
directors and subsidiaries meet the requirements set out in the assessment and the Company follows the corporate
governance guidelines. The Skagi parent company has a board of directors and each subsidiary has its own board of
directors. Subsidiaries operate according to a clear ownership policy in accordance with the corporate governance
guidelines of Skagi. Further information on corporate governance of Skagi Group can be found on Skagi’s website.
In 2021, Skagi (VÍS) became the first insurance company in Iceland to become a member of UN-PRI, the United
Nations Principles for Responsible Investment. The Company has significant influence though its asset portfolio. By
taking sustainability factors into consideration in its investments, the Company minimizes the risks associated with
sustainability while at the same time encouraging other companies to improve their business practices.

Minimum safeguards
Consolidated Financial Statements 31 December 2024 86 All amounts are in thousands of ISK
Some of the criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities concern social factors and governance, also
known as minimum safeguards. The minimum safeguards set out in the Taxonomy Regulation refer to the processes
that ensure minimum compliance with the standards of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) for multinational companies and of the United Nations for human rights and business. They are
intended to ensure that economic activities meet certain minimum standards when it comes to human rights,
corruption and bribery, tax matters and competition matters.
Human rights
Skagi operates in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and respects human rights in all its activities. The
Company has a policy on qualifications, competence and diversity, equality policy and occupational health and
safety policy. Skagi has set a policy to be a role model in matters of equality. Equality and equal pay policy clearly
states that Skagi is a workplace where gender-based and sexual harassment, violence or bullying are not tolerated.
At Skagi, there is a clear channel for issues related to bullying and sexual harassment, and employees are given clear
information about the channels of communication and the progress of such cases. It is understood that it is the joint
task of all employees to follow the Company's equality and equal pay policy. Each employee must be careful to show
respect, openness and discretion in their dealings with others. It is also the responsibility of each employee to be
aware of their environment and their moral duty to act if they witness what could be considered an EKKO incident
(EKKO is an Icelandic abbreviation for bullying, sexual harassment, gender-based harassment and violence).
The Company has a procedure in place for the handling of reports of misconduct and the protection of
whistleblowers in accordance with the Act on the Protection of Whistleblowers no. 40/2020. The procedure is
available on the Company's website. The purpose of the procedure is to document the method for handling and

Appendix 2
EU Taxonomy Regulation
On 1 June 2023, Regulation (EU) 2020/852 on a framework for sustainable investment was transposed into Icelandic
law through Act no. 25/2023 on Sustainable Financial Disclosure and Taxonomy for Sustainable Investments.
Companies that are subject to the obligation of Article 66d of the Annual Accounts Act no. 3/2006 on non-financial
disclosure must now also provide disclosure according to the requirements of the aforementioned regulation, also
known as the EU Taxonomy Regulation. This includes disclosure of information for VÍS and Fossar within the Group.
VÍS Insurance operations and insurance investments portfolio
According to Article 3 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation, an economic activity that qualifies as environmentally
sustainable must contribute substantially to one or more of the environmental objectives set out in the Regulation
while at the same time not significantly harm any other environmental objectives. The activity shall also be carried
out in compliance with minimum safeguards and technical screening criteria. The technical screening criteria for
non-life insurance: underwriting of climate-related perils, is defined in section 10.1 of Annex II to Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139. In order to meet this criteria, VIS will continue to carry out a detailed analysis
of its activities and make appropriate improvements as required. The Company is committed to continue its work
related to the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
Key performance indicators are set out in Annex IX and XI to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178.
In line with the requirements of Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the accompanying Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2021/2178, the company is obligated to report on specific key performance indicators (KPIs). These indicators
reflect both the share of the company’s investment portfolio that falls within the scope of the Taxonomy Regulation
and the portion of those investments that meet the criteria for Taxonomy alignment.
The disclosure relies solely on information publicly disclosed by the entities in which the company has invested, as
required by the regulation. Icelandic companies subject to these reporting obligations provided information on
Taxonomy eligibility and alignment in their 2023 annual financial statements, including details on the eligibility of
their business activities under the Taxonomy framework and the extent to which those activities align with its criteria.
The methodology for calculating the KPIs is based on the company’s total investment portfolio, with specific
exclusions applied to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. These exclusions include:
- Holdings in sovereign debt, exposures to central banks, and investments in supranational organizations.
- Investments in entities not required to disclose non-financial information under Articles 19a and 29a of
Directive 2013/34/EU.
It is important to note that experience with EU Taxonomy reporting is still evolving, particularly regarding the
availability and consistency of data from issuers, which may aect the completeness and accuracy of the company’s
disclosures. Significant data gaps remain, as a number of companies that are required to report under the Taxonomy
Regulation have either not provided the necessary disclosures or have done so inconsistently or incompletely.

Fossar fjárfestingarbanki hf. - financial services operations
Companies in the financial services industry are required to disclose information on environmentally sustainable
assets, which is presented in a key performance indicator on the green asset ratio (GAR). The indicator shows the
proportion of the Fossar bank's assets that it finances and invests in economic activities that fall under the taxonomy,
i.e. which are considered environmentally sustainable according to Article 3 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
When determining the extent to which the institution’s exposures are Taxonomy-eligible or Taxonomy-aligned, the
disclosure relies exclusively on information publicly disclosed by counterparties, as mandated by the regulation. This
applies to both financial and non-financial undertakings that fall within the scope of the Corporate Sustainability
Reporting Directive (CSRD) and related EU regulations.
However, data availability challenges persist, particularly regarding Taxonomy-aligned activities:
- Financial undertakings often do not have Taxonomy KPIs available at the time of reporting.
Consolidated Financial Statements 31 December 2024 92 All amounts are in thousands of ISK
- For non-financial undertakings, significant data gaps remain, as a number of companies that are required to
report under the Taxonomy Regulation have either not provided the necessary disclosures or have done so
inconsistently or incompletely.
Key performance indicators are presented in accordance with Annex V and VI to Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2021/2178.
The calculation of key performance indicators (KPIs) is based on the institution’s total assets covered by the KPI, with
specific exclusions to maintain consistency with regulatory guidelines. The following are excluded from the
calculations:
- Exposures to sovereign entities, central banks, and supranational organizations,
- Exposures to entities not required to disclose non-financial information under Articles 19a and 29a of
Directive 2013/34/EU.
The data used for the KPI calculations, including the determination of Taxonomy eligibility and alignment, is sourced
from the public 2023 financial reports of counterparties. Given the evolving nature of EU Taxonomy reporting,
particularly in relation to the consistency and completeness of data disclosures, there may be limitations in the
accuracy and scope of the reported figures.
As stated before, significant data gaps remain, as some counterparties required to report under the Taxonomy
Regulation have either not provided the necessary information or have done so in an incomplete or inconsistent
manner. This impacts the institution’s ability to fully capture Taxonomy alignment in its investment and lending
activities.
0. Summary of key performance indicators that credit institutions are required to disclose according to Article 8 of
the EU Taxonomy Regulation
The flow KPI is not included in this reporting as it requires comparative data over multiple reporting periods to assess
changes in Taxonomy-aligned activities. Since Icelandic counterparties have only provided one year of Taxonomy-
related disclosures (for the financial year 2023), it is not possible to calculate the flow KPI accurately. This KPI will be
incorporated in future reports once suicient historical data becomes available to enable meaningful year-on-year
comparisons.

The disclosure reference date T-1 is not included in this reporting as it requires comparative data from previous
reporting periods. Since Icelandic counterparties have only provided one year of Taxonomy-related disclosures (for
the financial year 2023), T-1 data does not exist. This information will be incorporated in future reports once suicient
historical data becomes available to support year-on-year comparisons.
Additionally, columns B–K are excluded from this report because the disclosure is limited to Taxonomy alignment
related to climate change mitigation. No reporting has been conducted on climate change adaptation, as relevant
data from counterparties is not available.

Furthermore, certain rows are not included in the disclosure because no investments were made by Fossar in the
corresponding asset categories. As a result, these sections are not applicable to the bank’s asset composition.
These exclusions reflect both the evolving nature of EU Taxonomy reporting and the current structure of Fossar’s
investment activities.
