1. An objective review of the Bank’s and the Group’s position, operations and development and an analysis of the Group’s financial performance
Vision, values and strategic directions of the Bank
In 2024, the Bank actively pursued its vision of being a universal bank, becoming the preferred choice for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and an equal competitor to other banks in the retail customer segment.
Our values – professionalism, flexibility, accountability and excellence – are the foundation of our corporate culture and help us achieve our goals. We strive to be professionals in our field and work with dedication to provide high quality services to our customers. We react quickly to changes in the market, take into account the individual needs of our customers and try to find the best solutions. We comply with legislation, high business and ethical standards, and build relationships of integrity and trust with colleagues, customers and partners. We are constantly looking for new opportunities, investing in our knowledge and sharing it with colleagues and customers.
In 2024, the Bank’s activities were developed along four (4) strategic lines: brand renewal, stable growth, improving customer experience and sustainable operations. On 1 February 2024, the Bank changed its name to Urbo Bankas UAB and throughout the year has been using various means to raise awareness of its new brand. 2024 was also a year of steady growth for the Bank, with the Bank growing in all priority segments: small and medium-sized business, mortgage and consumer finance, and successful growth in corporate and retail deposit portfolios. With a view to improving the customer service experience, the Bank integrated its subsidiary Saugus Kreditas UAB into the Bank on 16 October 2024; implemented a payment card project by issuing the Bank’s first payment cards at the end of 2024; and improved and developed remote customer service channels and tools. The Bank has voluntarily prepared a Sustainability Report for the financial year 2023 (https://urbo.lt/lt/tvarumas) to clarify its sustainability priorities and share sustainability information with its stakeholders.

All key financial data are presented in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
2. Description of the main risks and uncertainties
The Bank’s and the Group’s activities are primarily related to the use of financial instruments. The Bank accepts deposits from customers, receives loans from funds and uses these funds to provide loans to clients and invest in securities, trying to earn a higher interest margin. In order to achieve higher yields, the Bank consolidates short-term funds and provides longer-term loans at higher interest rates, while maintaining a level of liquidity sufficient to meet any liabilities that may arise.
The Bank and the Group perceive risk as any uncertainty about the outcome of ongoing economic activities that could materially affect the achievement of the Bank’s and the Group’s operational and strategic objectives, which can be defined as the result of the likelihood of an event occurring and the consequences of that event (i.e., a financial loss/likely financial loss).
Risk is inherent in the activities of the Bank and the Group and is managed through continuous identification, assessment and control processes, subject to risk limits and other controls. This risk management process is important for the continued profitability of the Bank and the Group. Every employee of the Bank and the Group participates in the risk management process to the extent that it is relevant to his/her job functions and responsibilities.
The main risks faced by the Bank and the Group are:
- credit risk,
- liquidity risk,
- market risk,
- concentration risk,
- operational risk,

- information and communication technology and security risks,

Risk management
The Bank and the Group takes a holistic approach to the risk management process extending to all levels of management, applicable to all activities, and focused on continuous analysis of threats, opportunities, their interactions, performance and drivers, effective internal communication and continuous feedback.
The Bank’s and Group’s internal control system is an integral part of its risk management. The effectiveness of the risk management and internal control system is ensured through the three lines model, which is based on a clear separation of responsibilities and cooperation between the business units, the risk control units and the internal audit function.
The primary objective of the Bank and the Group’s risk management is to ensure the effective and continuous functioning of the risk management system, so that the risks incurred in the Bank’s and the Group’s activities are consistent with the Group's strategic objectives, as included in the Group’s capital planning, and the capital available is used in the Group’s activities in a manner that is efficient and profitable. The level of risk assumed must not exceed acceptable risk tolerance limits and must ensure that the Bank and the Group operates profitably within legal requirements and in line with best practice guidelines. To achieve these objectives, the Bank and the Group establish a risk appetite that limits the nature and size of the risks assumed, ensures capital and liquidity reserves to address unforeseen events. When implementing the annual capital adequacy assessment process, the capital requirement is calculated after assessing the risks and future business strategy.
The Bank identifies, measures, assesses, mitigates, monitors and manages the risks it faces in its activities. The overall risk of the Bank and the Group is constantly monitored and reported to the Bank's bodies. The Bank and the Group use various risk management tools to mitigate risk, which are selected taking into account the types of risk and their suitability for the product or client. In order to mitigate the risk assumed, the Bank ensures the borrowed funds with collateral, and in order to manage losses from exchange rate fluctuations, it enters into derivative financial instrument transactions.
Detailed information on the main risks that include financial risks, their management objectives and the primary measures to manage them is provided in Note 29 of the Notes to the 2024 Financial Statements.
Key features of the internal control and risk management systems related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements
The Group's internal control and risk management systems related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements ensure the reliability, accuracy and compliance of financial information with applicable laws and international accounting standards. The key features of these systems are: allocation of responsibilities, uniformity of accounting policies, data control and accuracy, risk identification and assessment, internal control procedures, information and communication system, IT system security and external audit supervision. These internal control and risk management systems ensure transparent, reliable and consistent preparation of financial statements, contributing to the quality of the Group's financial information and strengthening the trust of customers and partners.

ESG risk has the greatest impact on the Bank’s and the Group’s lending activities. The Bank and the Group assess the impact of climate change risk on the loan portfolio using quantitative and qualitative information. The client’s geography and sector of activity are assessed, with a particular focus on greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors and sectors that make a significant contribution to climate change mitigation, etc. International methodologies and good practices are also analysed.

10. Bank and Group information on remuneration policies and their implementation
The objective of the Bank Group’s Remuneration Policy is to establish clear principles of remuneration for work, to pay fairly and transparently for work and results, to motivate, incentivise and empower employees to increase the efficiency and quality of their work, to achieve the Bank’s and the Group’s objectives, and to retain and attract competent employees.
The principles of the Remuneration Policy are designed to be consistent with the long-term business interests, business strategy, objectives, values of the Bank and the Group and to promote sound and effective risk management, to prevent conflicts of interest, and to ensure the principles of protection of investors and clients in the provision of services by the Bank and the Group.
The Remuneration Policy of the Bank and the Group is based on the following principles:
equity – the remuneration and performance review system apply to all employees of the Bank. The salary scales for posts of equal value are the same, according to the matrix of job grades.
competitiveness – the remuneration of the Bank’s employees is determined in the light of the situation on the labour market, by comparing the remuneration of certain posts with the remuneration of similar posts or posts of similar value on the labour market.
clarity/transparency – the remuneration and performance review system is aligned with the Bank’s strategy. The remuneration of the Bank’s employees depends on the Bank’s financial capacity, the results of performance reviews, the economic situation in the country and the Bank’s budget as approved by the Board. It is possible to set the remuneration of individual employees according to the Bank’s reasonable need at a given time for the particular expertise of the employee. Every Bank employee knows where his/her post is in the matrix of job grades, what career paths are available to him/her, and how his/her performance relates to his/her remuneration.
flexibility – whenever it is necessary to recruit or retain an employee who is important to the Bank, or to manage the risks arising from employee rotation, turnover, decisions may derogate from the Policy, without prejudice to the fundamental principles of a fixed or variable remuneration component.
neutrality in relation to gender, age, origin, nationality, religion, political opinion, social status, sexual orientation – employees are paid equally for equal work or work of equal value, irrespective of their gender, age, origin, nationality, religion, political opinion, social status or sexual orientation.
The Remuneration Policy applies to the Bank’s employees, as well as to members of the Bank’s Supervisory Board, Management Board, Audit Committee who are not employees of the Bank, and to members of the Loan Committee and the Risk Management Committee. In accordance with the Remuneration Policy, members of the Bank’s supervisory body are paid a fixed remuneration and members of the management bodies are paid fixed and/or variable remuneration.
Components of the Bank’s remuneration system:
fixed remuneration, consisting of:
•a monthly salary set out in each employee’s employment contract (or a fixed component of their remuneration);
•fringe benefits (long-term benefits, allowances, etc. not related to performance).
variable remuneration, consisting of:
•annual variable component of remuneration;
•quarterly variable component of remuneration;
•cash bonuses to reward employees for individual and group work, performance, etc.
The fixed remuneration system is based on a matrix of job grades, grouping jobs into levels according to their importance to the Bank’s and the Group’s activities. The job grade is determined by an assessment of the required competence, level of responsibility, autonomy, creativity, complexity and conditions of the work.
Variable remuneration is awarded to employees for the achievement of set performance targets. The variable component and the amount to be allocated are determined based on the results of the performance review and the timeframe over which performance can be evaluated, whether quarterly or annually. The annual variable remuneration is granted only to employees whose professional activities and/or decisions are likely to have a significant impact on the nature and magnitude of the risks borne by the Bank. In any case, the variable remuneration awarded to an employee during a reference period of one year may not exceed 100% of the amount of the fixed remuneration received by the employee during the reference period of one year.
The Bank's remuneration policy stipulates that the variable part of the remuneration is either not allocated or must be reduced or withheld based on the following criteria:
The employee / committee member / Bank's board member has violated the Bank's internal regulations or external legal requirements, and as a result of this violation, the Bank has incurred losses;
The Bank's financial position has become unsustainable, its performance does not meet the targets set in the business plan, or its operations are unprofitable;
The employee's duration of employment with the Bank, or in the case of a committee / Bank board member, the period during which they performed their committee / Bank board duties;
The employee's individual performance results, the committee member's personal contribution to the committee's activities, or in the case of a Bank board member – the performance results of the Bank's board.
The Annual Variable Remuneration Fund is formed after assessing the Bank’s performance, taking into account current and future risks, the cost of capital employed and the cost of maintaining liquidity. The principles for calculating variable

12. Internal control over the activities of the Bank and the Group
The internal control requirements for the Bank’s and the Group’s activities are set out in the laws, the supervisory authority’s regulations and the Bank’s and the Group’s internal regulations.
Internal control over the Bank’s activities is ensured by a sound and properly functioning internal control system:
an appropriate organisational structure of the Bank and the Group that ensures separation of functions and vertical and horizontal lines of responsibility;
an internal information system, a communication system of the Bank’s bodies, enabling timely decision-making.
staff responsibilities and competences;
dual control of operational procedures, risk control and management;
adequate internal control procedures;
periodic assessment of the internal control system and remediation of any weaknesses found.
An effective internal control system ensures only moderate, not absolute, achievement or maintenance of the Bank’s and Group’s objectives. Organisational changes and the attitudes of supervisors can have a significant impact on the effectiveness of internal control and the staff who implement the system, so the Bank and the Group regularly review and update controls and keep staff informed of changes.
The Internal Audit Department is the Bank’s internal audit unit that develops methods for assessing the internal control system, examines and assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control and risk management systems, the application of individual internal control procedures, checks that the risks taken are within the Bank’s risk limits and that the Bank complies with the requirements of the law and the supervisory authority, monitors the implementation of the Bank’s business strategy, the Bank’s policies and compliance with the Bank’s policies and procedures, and performs other functions as set out in its regulations. The Internal Audit function is permanent and independent of the Bank’s other structural units and staff. The Bank’s Supervisory Board approves the Internal Audit Policy. The job descriptions of the staff of the Internal Audit Department, the rules for the conduct of internal audit and the work plan are approved by the Audit Committee.

The Bank and the Group, when entering into transactions with related parties, apply arm’s length terms and conditions.

ORGANISING INTERNAL CONTROL
Internal control is a comprehensive and continuous process implemented by the Bank’s bodies, committees and employees to identify risk drivers and to provide reasonable assurance that:
the Group’s operations are efficient, using the Group’s assets and other tangible and intangible resources, and are protected from potential losses (operational objective);
financial and other information used both within the Group and for supervisory purposes or by other third parties is reliable, relevant and timely (information objective);
the Group’s operations are consistent with the applicable European Union and Republic of Lithuania legislation, the requirements of the supervisory authorities, the Group’s strategy and the provisions of the Bank’s internal regulations (compliance objective).
The internal control components are the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, communication and monitoring.
Key principles for organising internal control: (1) comprehensiveness, (2) multidimensionality, (3) accountability, (4) autonomy and responsibility, (5) separation of functions and avoidance of conflicts of interest, and (6) transparency and traceability. The internal control and risk management system is organised on the basis of the three lines model, which helps to achieve the Bank’s and the Group’s objectives and to strengthen risk management. The bodies with oversight functions (the Bank’s Supervisory Board and its committees, the Bank’s Board), the management (Head of Administration, his/her deputies and directors of divisions), the first and second lines of defence and the third line of defence (internal audit) have separate responsibilities, but their activities are all aligned with the Bank’s and the Group’s objectives. The three lines model is based on regular and effective coordination, cooperation and communication.
An effective system of internal control ensures that risks affecting operations are identified and assessed on an ongoing basis in accordance with the principles set out in the Bank’s Risk Management Policy. The internal control system is periodically reviewed to properly assess new risks.
The effectiveness of the Group’s internal control system is assessed both on an ongoing and periodic basis. The Group’s internal control procedures are carried out at all levels of management, involving every employee who, in addition to being involved in the internal control process in the performance of his/her duties, continuously assesses the effectiveness of the internal control system within the scope of his/her competences, and communicates any deficiencies identified in the

internal control system and/or risk management. The employees of the risk management and compliance function and other units performing control functions analyse the effectiveness of the internal control system, initiate improvements to rules and procedures, address identified weaknesses, assess risks and report on them at regular intervals, but at least once a year. Assessing the Group’s most risky areas is an integral part of the day-to-day running of the business, and periodic assessments are carried out by internal and external audit.

Note 2Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The separate and consolidated financial statements (hereinafter, the “financial statements”) are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU).
Basis for assessment
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets and investment assets, which are carried at fair value, and buildings, which are carried at revalued amounts.
Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in euro, which is the functional currency of the Bank and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated.
Business continuity
Management is confident that the Bank and the Group have sufficient resources to ensure the future continuity of operations. In making this assessment, management considered a large amount of information, including profitability projections, capital requirements and funding needs. The deliberations also included reasonably possible economic downturn scenarios and their potential impact on the Bank’s and Group’s profitability, capital adequacy and liquidity.
Impact of new and revised standards and interpretations on the financial statements
Current standards, their application and interpretations
New and/or amended standards and interpretations effective from 1 January 2024
The following standards, amendments to the existing standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (further – EU) are effective for the current period and were adopted by the Bank and the Group:
Amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases”: Lease liability in a sale and leaseback (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024).
Amendments of IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”: Classification of Liabilities as Current and Non-Current Date; Classification of Liabilities as Current and Non-Current – Deferral of the Effective Date; Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024);
Amendments to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments”: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024).
The application of these standards, amendments and interpretations did not have a material impact on the Bank’s and the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards issued by IASB, adopted by EU, but not yet effective
At the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements, the Bank and the Group has not early adopted the following new and revised IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective:
Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025).
The management of the Bank and the Group does not expect that the adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations listed above will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Bank and the Group in future periods, except as noted below:
Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been endorsed by EU
IFRSs currently endorsed by EU are not significantly different from the standards, endorsed by IASB, except the standards, amendments and interpretations that were not endorsed by EU (the effective dates are applicable to IFRS to full extent). These standards, amendments and interpretations are listed below:

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027).
Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026).
Annual Improvements Volume 11 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026).
Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026).
The management of the Bank and the Group does not expect that the adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations listed above will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Bank and the Group in future periods, except as noted below:
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared annually for the year ended 31 December and include the parent Bank and its controlled subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same financial year and using the same accounting principles.
Business combinations
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. Consideration transferred at the time of acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as is the identification of the net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is assessed each year for the risk of impairment. Any gain on an acquisition at a lower-than-market price is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. Transaction costs are recognised as an expense when incurred, unless they relate to the issuance of debt or equity securities.
Consideration transferred does not include amounts relating to the settlement of previous transactions. These amounts are generally recognised in the profit and loss account.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and the settlement is accounted for in equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in the profit and loss account.
Business combinations under common control
The merger that took place in 2024 was a business combination involving entities under common control. The Group applies the acquisition by residual value method to account for such transactions. Business combinations under common control are recognized in accordance with the following principles:
The assets and liabilities of the acquired entities are recorded at their existing carrying amounts, as reported in the parent company's financial statements.
No new goodwill is recognized as part of the transaction.
Any difference between the consideration transferred and the carrying amount of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date is directly recognized in equity as retained earnings.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are investees controlled by the Group. The Group controls an investee when it has the ability or right to earn variable returns from its relationship with the investee and can affect those returns by exercising its power over the investee. The Group reassesses whether it controls the investee if one or more aspects of control have changed. This includes circumstances in which existing security rights (e.g., rights arising from lending relationships) become significant and give the Group power to control the investee.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
Non-controlling interest
At the acquisition date, non-controlling interests are measured at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
Loss of control
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are derecognised and any recognition of non-controlling interests and other equity interests ceases. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. Any retained interest in a former subsidiary is measured at fair value at the time control is lost. Transactions between Group companies are eliminated.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
(All amounts are in TEUR, unless specified otherwise)
'Please unpack the Result.zip and reopen this file.'
Subsidiaries are carried at cost less impairment in the separate financial statements. This means that investment income is only recognised when the Bank receives a distributive share of the investor’s accumulated profits after the acquisition date. The additional distributions received are treated as a reversal of the investment and are recognised as a reduction of the cost of the investment.
Segment information
The Group’s activities can be broadly divided into the following three segments:
daily banking services and lending – covers the Bank’s traditional services to its customers – small and medium-sized enterprises, households, including the provision of loans, leasing and banking services to customers.
treasury – covers treasury banking activities, including securities and liquidity portfolio management, foreign exchange, etc.
other activities – includes banking activities outside the above business segments, including income/expenses from investments in subsidiaries, transactions in investment assets, and other operating income/expenses of Group companies.
Financial assets and financial liabilities
The Bank and the Group recognise a financial asset in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Bank become parties to the transaction based on the terms of the financial instrument contract.
In accordance with IFRS 9, financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, contractual rights to receive cash or other financial assets, contractual rights to exchange financial instruments with another party on terms that may be favourable to the other party, equity instruments of other entities and contracts that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments.
Financial assets are classified as:
financial assets measured at amortised cost in subsequent periods;
financial assets measured at fair value in subsequent periods, with the change in fair value recognised in comprehensive income;
financial assets measured at fair value in subsequent periods, with the change in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows;
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets;
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include those financial assets that are not classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. At initial recognition, a financial asset may be irrevocably designated as a financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (accounting mismatch). This financial asset cannot be subsequently reclassified.
The class of a financial asset is determined at the time of acquisition.
Time of recognition of financial assets
All regular-way purchases and sales of financial assets for which there is a period of time specified by a regulatory authority or market convention within which the securities must be delivered to the buyer are accounted for at settlement, i.e., when the asset is delivered to the Group or the Group delivers it to the buyer. An off-balance-sheet commitment to buy or sell financial assets is recognised at the trade date and is written off when the securities are settled.
Loans are carried at amortised cost: the cost of the loan at initial recognition (which includes direct transaction costs) less principal repayments, amortisation of the cumulative difference between the cost and the redemption amount, and impairment losses.
Business model assessment. The Group’s business model is to collect contractual cash flows (held-to-collect), where cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on principal. The Group does not have any financial instruments whose purpose is to generate cash flows from the sale of instruments. The use of other business models is not envisaged.

Solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). All loans and receivables are valued using the SPPI test. It is assessed whether the principal amount is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and meets the SPPI criteria. Whether the interest received is consideration for the time value of money for the credit risk associated with the principal outstanding. The credit risk element is assessed. Whether the time value of money element for fixed rate transactions meets the criteria. For variable interest rates, the change in the time value of money element is assessed and it is determined whether the change results in a material difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that would have arisen if the time value of money element had not changed. In the case of insignificant deviations, the loans and receivables are deemed to be in line with the SPPI requirements.
The following financial assets are measured at amortised cost in the Bank and the Group:
cash, cash balances with the central bank;
cash balances with banks and other credit institutions;
debt securities;
loans and receivables;
other assets and other advance payments.
Cash and cash balances with the central bank consist of balances of cash and other means of payment, balances in correspondent accounts of the Bank of Lithuania and minimum reserves.
Cash is cash on hand with a carrying amount equal to its fair value.
The fair value of cash balances with the central bank is equal to the carrying amount.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed and determinable payments and are not quoted on a market. This class of financial assets also includes (discounted) promissory notes purchased by the Bank and the purchase of debt obligations (factoring).
Other assets and other advance payments represent cash paid for goods or services not yet provided.
Impairment of financial assets
The impairment model (expected credit loss model) is applied to financial assets measured at amortised cost or fair value, except for investments in equity instruments. The Bank uses a customer rating system to assess the level of a customer’s credit risk. Borrowers’ internal credit risk ratings are established at the time of credit extension and are reviewed and updated periodically and as new relevant information becomes available. Financial instruments are classified into 3 risk levels based on the change in credit risk since initial recognition. For off-balance sheet exposures, expected credit losses are calculated in the same way as for the corresponding on-balance sheet exposures, according to the risk level of the corresponding on-balance sheet exposure.
Lending exposures, whether the specific provisions are set for a homogeneous group or on an individual basis, are reclassified in order to react uniformly to credit risk factors as macroeconomic conditions change. The reclassification of lending exposures results in a corresponding recalculation of the amounts of the specific provisions.
Lending exposures are assigned to one of three risk levels based on their credit risk assessment from initial recognition:
risk level 1 which includes performing exposures with no significant increase in credit risk, i.e., no credit risk indicator or loss event has been recorded since the initial recognition of the loan;
risk level 2 which includes exposures with a credit risk indicator or significant increase in credit risk;
risk level 3 which includes non-performing loans and other exposures with a probable default.
 
For lending exposures, specific provisions are calculated collectively or individually in accordance with the following provisions:
lending exposures classified as risk level 1 (low credit risk) are assessed collectively and specific provisions are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit loss (ECL);
lending exposures classified as risk level 2 (significantly increased credit risk) are assessed collectively. For collectively assessed lending exposures, the amount of the specific provisions is calculated based on the ECL with an unlimited duration;
lending exposures classified as risk level 3 (credit defaults) are assessed individually.
Exposures may revert to a lower risk level after a certain period (between 180 and 730 calendar days), subject to objective criteria.
Lending exposures that do not meet the criteria set for other homogeneous groups are classified in the other assets group and are not assessed by the Central Bank because they are assumed to have very low credit risk that does not significantly increase since initial recognition.
For collectively measured lending exposures, ECL is estimated using a model developed by the Bank, which calculates the internal risk parameters for each homogeneous group according to the scenario used.

For lending exposures measured using the collective approach, ECL is calculated as follows:
ECL = EAD x PD x LGD, where
EAD – Exposure at Default
PD – Probability of Default
LGD – Loss Given Default
The macroeconomic outlook is considered in the calculation of the PD and LGD parameters. The values of the PD and LGD parameters calculated based on the Bank’s and Group’s historical data are adjusted to incorporate forward-looking information. The PD parameter is determined using two (2) economic scenarios (expected and pessimistic) based on the Bank of Lithuania’s forecasts, and a final derivative scenario is derived depending on the probabilities assigned to these scenarios. The LGD parameter calculated based on historical data is also adjusted with real estate price forecasts.
The assumptions on which the ECL calculations are based are reviewed periodically (at least annually), supplemented by historical data and in the light of current economic forecasts.
The carrying amount of the loans is reduced using an impairment account and the amount of the impairment is recognised in the profit and loss account. For all financial instruments, lending exposures are reviewed after initial recognition, and a detailed assessment of changes in the client’s risk profile is carried out at least annually to identify increases in the materiality of credit risk. Each month, an assessment is made of the indicators of a decrease/increase in the credit risk of the lending exposure, which are used to reverse or increase the previously recognised impairment by adjusting the impairment account.
Lending exposures, whether the specific provisions are set for a homogeneous group or on an individual basis, are reclassified to react uniformly to credit risk factors as macroeconomic conditions change. The reclassification of lending exposures results in a corresponding recalculation of the amounts of the specific provisions.
Factoring accounting
A factoring transaction is a financing transaction where the Bank finances its customers by purchasing their claims. Companies transfer to the Bank rights to future accounts receivable. Factoring transactions consist of factoring transactions with recourse, where the Bank has the right to sell back to the customer the overdue claim, and factoring transactions without recourse, where the Bank does not have the right to sell back to the customer the overdue claim.
Factoring income consists of the amount of the administration fee for the main contract, which is paid at the time of conclusion of the contract and recognised as income by the Bank on a pro rata basis over the term of the contract; the fee for the administration of invoices, which is recognised as income at the time of payment of the invoice, and interest income, which is recognised as income over the term of the factoring contract.
The factoring balance includes the total amount of unpaid factoring invoices and any accruals for unpaid invoices at the end of the reporting period.
Loan write-offs
When loans and prepayments are not likely to be recovered and the collateral has been sold, they are written off against the impairment of the loans. The decision to write off loans is made by the management of the Group and the Bank. When loans previously written off are recovered, the income is recognised in the profit and loss account.
Partial write-off of loans may be applied to customers with default status if there is no likelihood that all or part of the Bank’s claims (principal, accrued interest and other charges) will be settled by the customer (e.g., the customer is subject to bankruptcy proceedings or the Bank has commenced legal proceedings, and existing collateral is insufficient and cash flow or other assets are not expected to be available to cover part of the claims).
Derivatives
The Bank uses derivatives such as foreign exchange forwards and foreign exchange swaps. Derivatives are carried at fair value as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when it is negative. Derivatives are initially recorded in the statement of financial position at fair value at the date of realisation. Changes in the fair value of derivatives held for trading are included in net trading income.
The fair values of derivatives are disclosed in Note 12.
In 2024 and 2023, the Bank issued floating rate loans to customers, but the agreements contained interest rate floors. This floor is embedded in the agreements. IFRS 9 requires that if, at the time the loan is originated, the interest rate floor is close to the market floating rate, then the embedded derivative is closely related to the host contract and may be accounted for together.

Debt securities issued and other borrowed funds
Financial instruments issued and their components that contain contractual obligations to pay cash or transfer other financial assets to another party or to settle the obligation by exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of shares in the Group and the Bank are accounted for as liabilities. Components of compound financial instruments that have both liability and equity features are accounted for separately, with the amount attributable to the equity component being the amount remaining of the total amount of the instrument less the liability component, calculated at its fair value at the date of issue.
Debt securities issued after initial recognition and other borrowings that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate. The amortised cost is calculated by including all discounts and premiums incurred at the time of issue, as well as other costs that are components of the effective interest rate.
Repurchase transactions
Securities sold under repurchase transactions are carried in the financial statements at amortised cost and the related liability is included in deposits from banks, other deposits or customer deposits, as appropriate. Securities purchased under resale transactions are accounted for as loans or advances to other banks or customers, respectively. The difference between the sale and repurchase prices is treated as interest and recognised over the life of the repurchase transaction using the effective interest rate over the entire period.
Borrowed securities are not included in the financial statements unless they are sold to a third party. In such a case, the obligation to repay those securities is recognised at fair value as a trading liability.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are contractual obligations to deliver cash, other financial assets or to exchange financial instruments on terms that are potentially unfavourable to oneself, and contracts that will or may be settled in equity instruments of the Bank and the Group. Financial liabilities are classified into:
financial liabilities measured at amortised cost;
financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, except:
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and derivatives;
financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies;
financial guarantee contracts;
commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate;
contingent consideration recognised in a business combination.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are those financial liabilities that are not classified as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities may be irrevocably designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if:
a group of financial liabilities or financial assets and financial liabilities is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy;
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (accounting mismatch).
These financial liabilities may not be subsequently reclassified.
The Group has not designated any financial liabilities as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
The Bank and the Group measure the following financial liabilities at amortised cost:
liabilities to banks and other credit institutions;
liabilities to customers;
subordinated loans;
other liabilities.
A financial liability is derecognised when it is settled, cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability to the same creditor is replaced by another liability with substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such modifications are recognised by derecognition of the existing liability and recognition of a new liability, with the difference between their carrying amounts recognised in the profit and loss account.

Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which the employees render the services. These benefits include wages, social insurance contributions, bonuses, paid holidays and other benefits.
Social insurance contributions
The Bank pays social insurance contributions to the State Social Insurance Fund (hereinafter, the “Fund”) on behalf of its employees in accordance with local legal requirements. Social insurance contributions are recognised as an expense on an accrual basis and included in staff costs.
Transactions in foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into euro at the exchange rate between the relevant currency and the euro established by the Bank of Lithuania on the transaction date. Gains and losses arising from such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than euro are recorded as gains or losses.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are measured in the functional currency at the exchange rate ruling at the statement of financial position date. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items are carried at cost using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, and non-monetary assets carried at fair value or revalued amount are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the fair value measurement.
The official exchange rates of the main currencies used for the year-end revaluation of the items in the statement of financial position are shown below (the ratio of the euro to the unit of the original currency is shown):

Interest income and expense
Interest income and expense are recognised in profit or loss on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated cash payments and receipts through the life of the financial asset or liability or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the residual value of the financial asset or liability. Fees and commissions for making loans to customers (together with related direct costs) are deferred and recognised as an adjustment to the interest rate calculated on the loans.
The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all fees paid or received, transaction costs, discounts and premiums that are part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability.
Fees and commissions
Fee and commission income and expenses that are a component of the effective interest rate of a financial asset and liability are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate.
Other fee and commission income, including account management fees, investment management fees, sales commissions, custody fees, etc., is recognised on an accruals basis as the related services are performed. When a loan agreement is signed and the loan is not expected to be repaid, loan commitment fees are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the commitment.
Other fee and commission expenses mainly relate to transaction and service fees that are paid when these services are received.
Costs
Other costs are recognised on an accrual and income and expenses comparison basis in the accounting period in which income related to such expenses is generated, regardless of the time when the money is spent. In cases where costs incurred over the accounting period cannot be directly linked to the specific income and they will not generate income in the coming periods, such costs are recognised as expenses in the same period in which they are incurred. The amount of expenses is usually carried at the amount paid or payable.
Dividends
Dividend income and expense are recognised when the right to receive income is established or the obligation to pay arises.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash, balances in current accounts with the Bank of Lithuania and correspondent accounts with other banks, due to their high liquidity and maturity up to 3 months from the date of acquisition, are treated as cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement. Cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
Investment assets
Investment assets are carried at cost, with an estimate of acquisition costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment assets are carried at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the statement of financial position date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment assets are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
An investment asset is derecognised on sale when it is disposed of or when no economic benefits are expected from its sale. The difference between the net proceeds from the sale of an asset and its carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the asset is derecognised.
Changes in investment assets are recorded when there is a change in the nature of the use of the investment asset. For reclassifications of investment assets to tangible fixed assets, the adjusted cost is the fair value at the date of the change in use. If a tangible fixed asset is reclassified as an investment asset, the Group accounts for it on the basis of the accounting policy for tangible fixed assets that has been applied to it, as described below, until the date of change in use.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired by the Group and the Bank are initially recorded at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any.
The useful life of an intangible asset may be finite or indefinite. The Bank and the Group do not have any intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised over their useful lives and are assessed for impairment when there is an indication that they may be impaired. The amortisation periods and methods used for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at least at each financial year-end.
Costs related to software maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Subsequent costs of intangible assets are capitalised only when they increase the future economic benefits of the specific asset to which the costs relate. All other costs are written off when incurred.
Amortisation of intangible assets is recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives from the date they are available for use. The software has an estimated useful life of 3-7 years.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is necessary for the operation of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. The cost of replacing an item of property or equipment is included in the residual value when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with that item will flow to the Group and the Bank and the cost can be measured reliably. The cost of the continuing servicing of property, plant and equipment is charged to profit or loss as incurred.
When the useful lives of the components of property or equipment are different, they are accounted for as separate property or equipment (major components).
Buildings are carried at revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of revaluation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Revaluations are carried out periodically to ensure that the carrying amount of buildings is not materially different from their fair value at the statement of financial position date. The fair value of the buildings is assessed by independent certified valuers. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The revaluation reserve for buildings is reduced in proportion to the depreciation of the revalued buildings, based on the revalued carrying amount of these assets and their original cost, which is taken directly to retained earnings.
In the case of a revaluation, when the estimated fair value of an asset is less than its residual value, the residual value of the asset is immediately written down to fair value and the write-down is recognised as an expense. However, such an impairment is deducted from the amount of the previous revaluation increase on the same asset recorded in the revaluation reserve account to the extent that it does not exceed that increase.
In the case of a revaluation where the estimated fair value of an asset is greater than its residual value, the residual value is increased to fair value and the amount of the increase is credited to the revaluation reserve account for tangible fixed assets within equity.

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is calculated using the straight-line method by writing off the value of the asset over its estimated useful life.
Estimated useful life of the asset:
Buildings 60-90 years
Computer hardware 3 years
Vehicles 6 years
Equipment and accessories 3-10 years
Leasehold improvements are amortised over the remaining lease term or useful life, whichever is shorter. The useful lives of assets and the depreciation recognition methodology are reviewed and, if necessary, adjusted at the end of each financial year.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount is presented, in the statement of financial position if, and only if, the Group and the Bank have the right to offset the amounts and plan either to settle on a net basis or to sell the assets and settle the debt simultaneously.
Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when this is permitted by accounting standards; profits and losses from a group of similar transactions, such as the Group’s and the Bank’s trading activities, are presented on a net basis.
Fair values of financial assets and liabilities
Fair value is the price at which an asset would be sold or a liability transferred at the measurement date in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if no such market exists, in the most advantageous market that the Group and the Bank can access at the measurement date. The fair value of a liability reflects the exposure to the risk of default on its obligations.
Where appropriate, the Group and the Bank estimate the fair value of an instrument using its quoted price in an active market. A market is considered active if transactions in that asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide continuous price information.
The fair value of financial instruments traded on financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market prices. Purchase prices are used to measure financial assets and sale prices are used to measure liabilities. In the absence of an active market, the fair value of an interest-earning asset is determined by reference to the discounted value of cash flows using the same interest rate for instruments that are similar in terms of maturity and risk. The fair value of unquoted equity securities is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques are based on recent market transactions in substantially similar instruments at market prices or on cash flow analysis.
Fair value measurement
Certain accounting principles and disclosures of the Bank and the Group require the determination of the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
In determining the fair value of an asset or liability, the Bank and the Group use observable market data to the extent possible.
Fair values are presented in the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the variables used in the valuation techniques:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
Level 3: asset or liability variables not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the variables used in determining the fair value of an asset or liability may be classified in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level of the fair value hierarchy to which the entire fair value measurement is assigned is determined by reference to the lowest level variable that is significant in determining the entire fair value.
The Bank and the Group recognise transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the change occurs.
For more information on the assumptions used to calculate the fair values, see the notes below:
Note 7 – Loans and receivables
Note 8 – Property and equipment

Gains and losses on post-recognition measurement
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability are recognised as follows:
-gains or losses on financial instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the profit and loss account;
-gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income (except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains or losses on debt financial instruments) until the assets are derecognised. The cumulative gain or loss recorded in equity is then recognised in the profit and loss account. Interest on available-for-sale financial assets is recognised as income in the profit and loss account using the effective interest method.
Gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost are recognised in the profit and loss account when the financial asset or liability is derecognised, impaired and amortised.
Lease
When a lease agreement is signed, the Group assesses whether the agreement constitutes a right to lease the asset. The Group recognises a lease asset and a corresponding lease liability in respect of all lease arrangements in which the Group is the lessee, except for short-term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (e.g., tablets and PCs, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Group recognises lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is appropriate that more closely reflects the time pattern over which the economic benefits of the leased asset are consumed.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that have not yet been made, and are subsequently discounted using the interest rate provided for in the lease agreement. If the lease agreement does not specify interest, the Group uses its borrowing rate.
Lease liabilities are measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect the related interest (using the effective interest rate method) and decreasing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
A lease asset consists of the initial measurement of the related lease liability, the lease payments made on or before the commencement date, less any lease discounts received and any initial direct costs. It is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The right to use the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the asset. If ownership of the underlying asset is transferred after the asset is leased, or the cost of the leasehold right-of-use reflects the fact that the Group expects to exercise its option to acquire the asset, the related right-of-use is amortised over the useful life of the underlying asset. Depreciation starts from the date the lease commences.
Leases for which the Group is the lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. When, under the terms of the lease, all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the lessee, the agreement is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as a receivable based on the amount of the Group’s net investment in the lease. Income from finance leases is allocated to accounting periods to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment.
Share capital
Share capital is recorded in the statement of financial position at its subscribed value.
Corporate income tax
Corporate income tax is calculated on the profit for the year, including deferred tax. Corporate income tax is calculated in accordance with the requirements of the tax legislation of the Republic of Lithuania.
Under the Law on Corporate Income Tax of the Republic of Lithuania, the corporate income tax rate is 15% of the taxable income. Management calculates and accounts for tax expenses in the financial statements in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Lithuania.
As of 2020, the portion of credit institutions’ taxable profits calculated in accordance with the Law on Corporate Income Tax exceeding EUR 2 million is taxed at a 5% surtax rate. On 1 January 2025, the main corporate income tax rate was increased by 1 percentage point from 15% to 16%.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred corporate income tax reflects temporary tax differences between the values of assets and liabilities as reported in the financial statements and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets/liabilities are measured using the corporate income tax rate that will apply when the temporary tax differences are realised.

A deferred tax asset is recognised in the statement of financial position when management expects to realise sufficient estimated taxable profit in the foreseeable future to allow for the realisation of the asset. If it is probable that part of the deferred tax asset will not be realised, that part of the deferred tax is not recognised in the financial statements.
Temporary solidarity contribution
On 9 May 2023, the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania adopted the Law on Temporary Solidarity Contribution of the Republic of Lithuania (No. XIV-1936), which introduced a new solidarity contribution for credit institutions operating in Lithuania from 16 May 2023. This contribution is calculated on the excess of net interest income earned by credit institutions in 2023 and 2024 from their activities in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania. The Bank and the Group report the amount of the solidarity contribution in the profit and loss account under Other operating expenses.
Other charges
The annual property tax rate is up to 3% of the taxable value of tangible fixed assets and repossessed property. The Bank is also required to pay land tax and rent, guarantee fund contributions and social insurance contributions. These charges are included in other expenses in the profit and loss account.
Off-balance-sheet items
All liabilities that may be recognised in the statement of financial position in the future are accounted for as off-balance-sheet liabilities. This allows the Group and the Bank to determine the capital requirements and raise the necessary funding to meet these obligations.
Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party is in a position to unilaterally or jointly control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions, or if the parties are under common control, and if members of management, their close family members, and the entities controlled by them, or persons close to them are in a position to unilaterally or jointly exercise control or exercise significant influence over the Bank. The determination of whether parties are related is based on the substance of the relationship, not just its content.
Credit commitments
Credit commitments are approved decisions to increase a loan, guarantee or letter of credit. As regards the Group’s and the Bank’s credit risk, the total amount of the unused credit commitment is exposed to potential losses. Due to certain terms of lending applicable to customers who wish to draw on the credit commitment, the amount of potential losses is less than the total unused credit commitment. As long-term credit commitments have a higher
credit risk than short-term commitments, the Group and the Bank control the maturity of credit commitments. Credit commitments are treated as risky assets for capital adequacy purposes.
In the normal course of business, the Group and the Bank issue financial guarantees in the form of letters of credit, guarantees and acceptances. Financial guarantees are measured at fair value (the amount of the premium received) in other liabilities on initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group’s and the Bank’s liability is measured at the higher of the amortised premium and the estimated cost that may be required to settle the financial liabilities associated with the guarantees when settlement is probable.
Any increase in the liability relating to guarantees is recorded in the profit and loss account in impairment charges. The premium received is recognised in the profit and loss account in net fee and commission income on a straight-line basis over the life of the guarantee.
Guarantees are irrevocable assurances that the Group and the Bank will settle on behalf of the client with third parties in the event of the client’s inability to meet its obligations to third parties. When a guarantee is settled, it is recorded in the statement of financial position and assessed for indications of impairment. Until the guarantee is settled, it is recognised as a risky asset for capital adequacy purposes.
Documentary credits and business letters of credit are written agreements between the Group and the Bank and the client that provide for a third party to receive certain amounts from the Group and the Bank, up to a specified amount, under certain conditions. They are secured by a pledge of the delivery of the goods to which they relate. Letters of credit are recognised as risky assets for capital adequacy purposes.
Provisions
Provisions are recorded when, as a result of a past event, the Bank and the Group have a legal obligation or an irrevocable commitment, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the liability can be measured reliably.

The cost of accounting for provisions is recognised in profit or loss. Where the effect of the time value of money is significant, provisions are discounted against the tax rate that reflects the risk inherent in the liability. When discounting is applied, the increase in the provision to reflect the passage of time is recorded as a borrowing cost.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the financial statements but are disclosed unless it is unlikely that economic benefits will be foregone. Contingent assets are not accounted for in the financial statements but are disclosed if they are expected to generate economic benefits.
Note 3Use of estimates and judgements in the preparation of financial statements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosure of contingencies. Significant areas in these financial statements that involve estimates and judgements include impairment of loans and other receivables, impairment of investments carried at amortised cost, impairment of investments in subsidiaries, fair value measurement of investment property, fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments, realisation of deferred tax assets, leases and derecognition of financial assets and going concern.
The following are key assumptions relating to future and other measurement uncertainties at the statement of financial position date that have the potential to result in a significant adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in future financial years.
Impairment losses on loans and other receivables
The calculation of impairment of loans and other receivables is described in Note 28.
The methods for calculating the amount and timing of future cash flows are kept under review to minimise the differences between the estimated loss amounts and the actual losses incurred. For more information, see Notes 7 and 28.
Fair value of investment assets
The Group carries investment assets at fair value through profit or loss. It is the Bank’s and the Group’s policy to have investment assets revalued by an independent external valuer at least every 3 years.
Fair value of tangible fixed assets
Land and buildings are measured at revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of revaluation less subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment. Revaluations are carried out regularly, at least once every five years, to ensure that the carrying amount of buildings is not materially different from their fair value at the reporting date. The fair value of buildings is determined by certified independent real estate appraisers.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. The revaluation reserve for buildings is reduced annually by the amount of depreciation on revalued buildings and transferred directly to retained earnings.
In the case of a revaluation, when the estimated fair value of an asset exceeds its carrying amount, the carrying amount is increased to fair value and the amount of the increase is included in the revaluation reserve for tangible fixed assets as other comprehensive income in equity. However, such a revaluation increase is recognised as income to the extent that it does not exceed the revaluation decrease previously recognised in the profit and loss account. Depreciation is calculated on the depreciable amount, which is equal to the asset’s acquisition cost less its residual value. For more information, see Note 8.
Impairment of debt securities
For collectively measured lending exposures, ECL is estimated using a model developed by the Bank, which calculates the internal risk parameters for each homogeneous group according to the scenario used. The recognition of impairment losses on financial instruments is described in the Rules for the Measurement of Expected Credit Risk Losses. Details of debt securities are given in Note 6.
Impairment of investments in subsidiaries
The Bank performs an impairment review of investments in subsidiaries when indications of impairment are detected. The Bank uses the adjusted net asset value method to measure the fair values of its subsidiaries. After assessing the performance of the subsidiaries, the investment value is determined based on the fair values of the subsidiaries’ assets

and liabilities. At the end of each year, the Bank estimates the amount of its investment in each subsidiary and compares it with the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries measured at fair value. The value of investment assets held by subsidiaries, as reported in external valuation reports, is adjusted by a factor determined by the Bank’s management depending on the type of investment assets and the risks involved.
Adjustments are recognised when an assessment of the fair value of an investment in subsidiaries indicates that the Bank’s investment is impaired.
Finance lease
Management assesses whether substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of financial assets and lease assets are transferred to the counterparty, in particular by assessing which risks and rewards are the most significant and what constitutes substantially all the risks and rewards.
Deferred tax assets
A deferred tax asset is recognised for all unused tax losses when it is probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available to the Group and the Bank to allow the tax asset to be utilised. Management is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, taking into account the expected timing and amount of future taxable profit and future tax planning strategies (Note 24).
The assumptions used in the estimates are subject to change due to future events. The impact of such changes on the estimates are reflected in the financial statements when they are identified.

Note 26Fair values of financial instruments
Fair value is defined as the amount for which an instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties under current market conditions, excluding forced sale, involuntary liquidation or speculative sale transactions. As trading in the majority of the financial assets and liabilities held by the Bank and the Group is not well-developed, fair value measurements require the use of assumptions based on current economic conditions and the risks inherent in the specific instrument.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities with short maturities (less than three months) are considered to approximate their fair values. This assumption also applies to floating rate financial instruments as the Group and the Bank have not identified any significant change in credit spreads.
The fair value of fixed rate assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost is estimated by comparing market interest rates with the interest rates offered for similar financial instruments at the time of initial recognition. The estimated fair value of fixed rate loans and deposits is based on discounted cash flows using interest rates prevailing in the market for debt with similar credit risk and maturity.
The following methods and assumptions were used to determine the fair value of these financial instruments:
Cash. This is cash on hand and in custody, with a carrying amount equal to its fair value.
Cash balances with the central bank. The fair value of cash balances with the Bank of Lithuania is equal to the carrying amount.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets. The carrying amount of these investments is equal to their fair value.
Debt securities. Their fair value was estimated based on the market price.
Cash balances and debts to credit institutions. The carrying amount of an asset with a maturity of less than 3 months approximates fair value because of the relatively short maturity of this financial instrument. For deposits with longer maturities, the prevailing interest rates reflect market rates (due to re-fixing of interest on assets based on market interest rates) and therefore the fair value approximates the carrying amount.
Loans to customers. The valuation was carried out by discounting the future cash flows for each loan over its life using 12-month average interest rates on the market at year-end.
Liabilities to customers. The carrying amount of balances with a maturity of less than 3 months approximates fair value because of the relatively short maturity of this financial instrument. The fair value of deposits and other liabilities with longer-term fixed interest rates was calculated by discounting the cash flows using interest rates applicable to new debt with similar maturities and credit quality.

The methodology for calculating fair value was changed in 2024 to reflect it more accurately. The comparative value for the period ending 31 December 2023 was also recalculated accordingly.
Financial instruments measured at fair value are presented in these financial statements at three fair value levels:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: fair value estimated using valuation techniques, where all variables that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are either directly or indirectly observable in the market;
Level 3: fair value estimated using valuation techniques for which the variables that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of all derivatives held by the Bank is classified as Level 2. The largest part of these are forward foreign exchange contracts and currency swaps, which are revalued using the discounted cash flow or present value method. In all cases, the valuation is based on variables available on the market. Debt securities are priced according to market quotations and, where there is no active market for a particular security, the price is based on the prices of similar securities on the market.

Note 29Risk management
Risk management structure
Risk is inherent in the activities of the Bank and the Group and is managed through continuous identification, assessment and control processes, subject to risk limits and other controls. The risk management process is important for the continued profitability of the Bank and the Group. Every employee of the Bank and the Group participates in the risk management process to the extent that it is relevant to his/her job functions and responsibilities. The Bank’s structural units are responsible, within the limits of their competence, for developing risk assessment standards and implementing approved policies, preparing internal rules and procedures governing their activities, developing risk management and internal control procedures, monitoring, implementing prudential measures and requiring or implementing emergency actions. An important part of risk management is the development of a risk culture, which encourages employees to act responsibly, to disclose information and take responsibility, and to make decisions based on an understanding and assessment of risk.
Based on the three lines model, the Bank’s and the Group’s operational risk management strategy is based on the following axes: risks can be avoided, assumed, mitigated or transferred.
Key risk management principles are embedded in internal regulations describing processes/products, through the setting of internal limits, selecting of risk mitigation measures, monitoring, control and reporting. Risk appetite is combined with the capacity to take and absorb risk. This capacity is driven by the operating profits generated by the Bank and the Group, and by a growing domestic capital buffer in line with business volumes.
The Bank’s organisational structure is divided into two (2) parts from a risk management perspective:
the first, which includes the Bank’s Supervisory Board, the Bank’s Board, the Bank’s Head of Administration, the Loan Committee, the Risk Management Committee and the Boards of the Bank’s subsidiaries, establishes the strategy, policies and a risk management framework, and an effective system of management information;
the second, which includes the Bank’s head office units and customer service units, implements the risk management framework, monitors, provides expertise, support and assistance, and contributes to the creation and maintenance of a risk culture.
Periodic risk monitoring and control is carried out based on the limits set by the Bank and the Group, reflecting the Bank’s and the Group’s business strategy, the market environment and the level of risk acceptable to the Bank and the Group.
Business-wide information is periodically reviewed and processed to identify and communicate risks in advance. The procedures of the management information system ensure that this information is effectively communicated.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the Group and the Bank will incur losses as a result of the failure by their customers or other parties to meet their contractual obligations. The Group and the Bank manage and control credit risk by setting acceptable risk limits for individual borrowers and sectors of the economy, and by monitoring the potential for breaches of these limits. The Group and the Bank have credit quality review procedures in place to identify changes in the creditworthiness of counterparties in advance, including regular review of collateral. The credit quality review process allows the Group and the Bank to assess the potential losses that may occur and take appropriate action. The Bank issues guarantees to customers that require the Bank to make payments on their behalf. They expose the Bank to similar risks as loans and these risks are mitigated using the same control processes and policies.
The Bank and the Group have two types of credit risk management measures:
measures to prevent the financing of unsecured risky loans, including a multi-tier decision-making system, the allocation of risk management between structural levels – the introduction of mandates/limits, and the assessment of the suitability of collateral. Before granting a loan, the Bank first analyses the borrower’s financial capacity and loan repayment capacity based on the borrower’s cash flow. The purpose of loan analysis is to assess as far as possible the status of the client and the prospects for the area in which the client operates.
measures to ensure an effective asset quality monitoring system, including continuous monitoring of credit transactions and contract administration, timely receipt of credit-related information and data quality assurance, and assessment of changes in the external environment.
The Bank continuously collects and analyses information related to changes in the external environment, growth of the loan portfolio, risk-related costs, the largest exposures of borrowers, the distribution of loans by economic activity, overdue maturities, changes in ratings and risk levels.
Where the expected cash flow from non-performing loans is expected to come from the sale of collateral, the value of the collateral held is an important estimate in calculating loan impairment losses and receivables.

Concentration risk
Concentration risk is the risk of a relatively large loss if the normal activities of the Bank or the Group are disrupted due to an excessive concentration of asset or liability exposures. These risks arise from exposures to individual borrowers or depositors, exposures to interconnected borrowers or depositors, concentrations of exposures in a single economic sector or geographic region, exposures to borrowers engaged in similar activities, concentrations of investment exposures, or other exposures that the Bank deems material. Concentration risk is managed on a proportionate basis, taking into account the scale and nature of the business, the risks involved and the operations carried out.
The Bank and the Group manage, limit and control concentrations of credit risk – specifically, the risk of individual counterparties, groups of related counterparties and economic sectors. The Bank of Lithuania’s maximum risk requirement per borrower is 25%. The Bank’s maximum credit risk per customer or transaction at 31 December 2024 was EUR 10,676 thousand (31 December 2023: EUR 10,367 thousand). Ratio to the Bank’s Tier 1 capital is 17.98% (19.25% at 31 December 2023).
Risk by geographical region
The risk of geographical concentration is not recognised in the Group’s activities, as the principle of focusing on local customers is applied.

Risk by economic sector
The Bank and the Group also impose sectoral limits, i.e., the potential concentration of certain sectors of the economy at Bank and Group level is limited by internal lending limits. Percentage and volume of the threshold limit lending to different sectors of the economy to ensure that the Bank and the Group are not dependent on any one sector of the economy.
The breakdown of the credit risk of the Bank’s and the Group’s financial assets against collateral by economic sector, based on the economic sector of the customer’s principal activity, is as follows:

Pledges and collaterals to secure credits
The amount and type of collateral required depends on the other party’s credit risk assessment. Guidelines on the acceptability of the type of pledge and the valuation parameters have also been adopted.
The primary criterion for assessing the repayment capacity of a loan is the cash flow generated by the borrower’s business, but to mitigate credit risk losses both the Bank and the Group require collateral to be pledged as security, except for consumer loans to retail customers. Eligible collateral is divided into immovable property, movable property, third-party guarantees, insurance and financial assets.
According to the Bank’s Rules on the Valuation, Administration and Control of Collateral, different types of collateral are revalued at different intervals: apartments and residential buildings must be revalued at least every 5 years, commercial property (office, trading, hotels, etc.) at least every 4 years, land plots at least every 3 to 5 years, vehicles on a yearly basis, other collaterals every year to 3 three years. In addition, in the event of significant price falls in the real estate market or other significant changes in the economic environment, a review of the values of real estate collateral is required.
For the purpose of determining the present value of a loan in the event of insolvency, eligible collateral is measured at its fair value, taking into account the costs of taking over and selling the collateral. When real estate is revalued, the Bank and the Group also consider its liquidity and useful life.
For credit risk assessment, the value of pledged real estate (related to non-performing loan assets) is based on valuation reports from licensed appraisers. The pledge value of new cars and equipment is based on the acquisition value based on the acquisition document or on the market value determined in an appraisal report, while for used cars and equipment, it is based on appraisal reports from licensed appraisers. The value of the guarantees is measured according to the terms of the contract and the cash is measured according to the balance in the account at the date of the financial statements. The value of credit insurance is based on management’s assessment based on documentation from insurance companies. The value of other pledges (inventories of goods) reflects management’s assessment. The fair value of the remaining collateral is determined using both internal and external values.

Credit quality by financial asset class
The credit quality of financial assets in the Bank or the Group is managed using an internal credit risk assessment system as described below.
Credit risk assessment
In assessing financial instruments, the Bank and the Group apply specific criteria and procedures for assessing debtors. Financial instruments are classified into three stages of credit risk based on the change in credit risk since initial recognition:
Stage 1 includes performing financial instruments for which no significant increase in credit risk has been identified since the initial recognition of the loan and the borrower is expected to be able to meet its contractual obligations.
Stage 2 includes financial instruments for which a significant increase in credit risk is identified after the initial recognition of the loan.
Stage 3 includes all non-performing financial instruments with a recognised loss event and POCI (purchased or originated credit-impaired) financial instruments.
Credit risk assessment of financial instruments other than trading activities and off-balance-sheet items:

A credit risk assessment of individual customers to determine their dependence on war-affected countries and the impact on credit risk did not show any increase in credit risk. Enhanced monitoring is applied in 2024 in respect of customers on the watch list.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that sufficient funds will not be available to meet maturing obligations on deposits and other financial instruments. To manage liquidity risk, the Group and the Bank monitor future expected cash flows from customers and banking activities on a daily basis as part of the asset/liability management process. The Board sets limits on the minimum amount of maturing funds to ensure that sufficient funds are available to pay out deposits, and sets a minimum level of inter-bank and other debt obligations to be drawn upon in the event of an unexpected increase in repayment demands.
The majority of term deposits in the Bank’s and the Group’s deposit portfolios have a maturity of 6-36 months and, based on historical data, the average monthly volatility of this portfolio is below 6%. The Group’s and the Bank’s statistics over several years show that the Group’s and the Bank’s activities have ensured a stable level of these funds, most of which are renewable. This allows them to be invested in longer-term financial assets.
The Bank and the Group are also required to comply with the liquidity coverage ratio requirement under Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) refers to the Bank’s or Group’s highly liquid assets that are held to meet short-term liabilities. The Bank or the Group must hold highly liquid assets such as treasury bonds or other liquid financial instruments in an amount at least equal to the net cash outflows over a 30-day period, i.e., the liquidity coverage ratio must not be less than 100%.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market variables such as interest rates, exchange rates and the prices of equity instruments. Market risk is managed and controlled through continuous market monitoring and analysis of forecast market developments.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility of a change in interest rates that will affect future cash flows or the fair values of financial instruments. The Board has set interest rate gap limits for specified periods. Exposures are monitored at a frequency determined by the Bank. Interest rate risk is forecasted using market interest rates and managed by matching the gap between assets and liabilities based on revaluation maturities. The Group and the Bank use interest rate risk management techniques that allow the sensitivity of the Bank and the Group to changes in interest rates to be determined by calculating the impact on annual net interest income if the yield curve changes.

Operational risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss due to inadequate or unimplemented internal control processes, staff errors and/or illegal actions, failures in information systems, or the influence of external factors. Operational risk is managed by granting rights and setting limits to staff, controlling transactions at all stages, using automated transaction controls, ensuring the security and continuity of information systems, recording and analysing operational risk events, assessing operational risk losses, and providing training to staff.
In 2024, the Bank improved the Bank’s operational event recording system, focused on business continuity management and strengthening the Bank’s risk culture.
Information and communication technologies and security risks
Information and communication technology and security risk is the risk of loss due to a breach of data confidentiality, a breach of the integrity of systems and data, the inadequacy or unavailability of systems and data, or the inability to replace information technology in response to changes in the environment or in the needs of the business, within a reasonable time and at a reasonable cost. Information and communication technology and security risks include security risks arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or external events, including cyber-attacks or insufficient physical security.
In strengthening information and communication technology and security risk management in 2024, the Bank focused on developing security management processes, technical security measures and business continuity solutions. The Bank has improved tools and processes to further enhance system availability, continuous monitoring of system operation and security status, identification of cyber security incidents and response to security threats.
Compliance risk
Compliance risk is the risk that the Bank’s activities will not comply with the legislation of the European Union and the Republic of Lithuania, the guidelines and positions of the European Banking Authority and/or the Bank of Lithuania regulating its activities. The Bank manages compliance risk through continuous monitoring of changes in the legal environment, clear policies and procedures, regular training for the Bank’s management and employees, and reporting to management. The Bank continuously strengthens its compliance culture, promotes compliance with the Bank’s ethical and professional standards, and ensures the functioning of the whistleblowing channel.
Money laundering, terrorist financing and fraud risks and international sanctions risks
Urbo Bankas UAB implements the policy of prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing and fraud risks and implementation of international sanctions in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Lithuania and the European Union.
Key measures to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing are:
regular and enhanced customer identification;
implementing the Know Your Customer principle;
customer profiling based on the level of money laundering and terrorist financing risk;
regular and enhanced monitoring of customer business relationships;
identifying, suspending and reporting suspicious monetary transactions to law enforcement authorities;
keeping records of customers’ monetary operations and transactions in registers;
training for the Bank’s employees and governing bodies;
the Bank’s business-wide assessment of money laundering and terrorist financing risks, fraud risk and risk of violating/evading international sanctions (including an assessment of the effectiveness of the measures);
internal control over the application of measures to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, fraud and breach/evasion of international sanctions.
Special IT solutions are used for customer screening and business relationship monitoring.
The Bank is guided by strict ethical and moral standards and deals with customers whose identity, and that of their beneficial owners, are properly established, the legitimacy of the source of funds and the origin of the assets raise no doubts, and the purpose and nature of the business relationship are clear and acceptable.

Environmental, social and governance risks
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk is the risk of any adverse financial impact on the Bank and the Group arising from the current or future impact of environmental, social or governance factors on the Bank and the Group, on customers or on invested assets. The objective of ESG risk management is to integrate environmental, social and governance considerations into the Group’s business model processes, to comply with applicable laws and requirements in this area, to identify, monitor and control the drivers of these risks and to assess the potential negative impact of the level of ESG risk assumed.
The Bank and the Group recognise that ESG risks may directly and/or indirectly affect the Bank’s and the Group’s principal risks and incorporate them into an overall risk management framework that covers all business lines and business units. In the development of the risk management framework, the Bank and the Group focus on climate and environmental risks which take the form of physical and transition risks. The assessment of this risk focuses on its impact on the loan portfolio. Given the scale of the activity, there is a consistent focus on social and governance risks. The Bank and the Group integrate the risks related to ESG factors into the overall risk management and risk appetite framework and ensure that these provisions are appropriately integrated into the Group’s other regulations and internal documents.
The following procedures are being put in place to integrate ESG risk management with other risks, to identify how these risks, once they become a reality, could affect the reputation and profitability of the Bank and the Group:
identifying borrowers who may be directly or indirectly exposed to higher climate and environmental risks;
determining the value of residential and commercial real estate collateral, taking into account its location and energy efficiency;
monitoring concentration by industry/borrower;
assessing the impact of climate change and environmental factors on existing market risk exposures;
assessing the impact of climate change and environmental factors on net cash flows or the reduction of the liquidity buffer;
assessing the impact of climate change-related events on the Bank’s and Group’s business continuity.
The Bank and the Group assess the impact of climate change risk on the loan portfolio using quantitative and qualitative information. The customer’s geography and sector of activity are assessed, with particular attention to greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors and sectors that make a significant contribution to climate change mitigation. International methodologies and good practices are also analysed.
The Bank and the Group have established criteria for ESG risk-neutral credit transactions that relate to the direct financing of climate change/GHG emission reduction measures. These include buying or building more energy-efficient buildings, using renewable energy sources, and buying electric or hybrid cars.
As of 31 December 2024, the portfolio of neutral loans issued by the Bank amounted to 53,060 thousand euros. During the reporting period, the portfolio of neutral loans increased by more than 90 percent, when as of 31 December 2023 it amounted to 27,857 thousand euros.
As at 31 December 2024, ESG risk-neutral transactions accounted for 13% of the Bank’s (Group’s) total loan portfolio. As at 31 December 2023, ESG risk-neutral transactions accounted for 12.2% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio (11% of the Group’s total loan portfolio).
The Bank has voluntarily prepared a Sustainability Report for the financial year 2023 (hereinafter, the “Report”) in order to clarify its sustainability priorities and share sustainability information with its stakeholders. This Report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) 2022/2464 and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

Note 30Capital
The capital adequacy assessment process of the Bank and the Group is based on the capital adequacy requirements defined by the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) and the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), which came into force on 1 January 2015. The CRD consists of three pillars, two of which are disclosed in these financial statements.
The first pillar covers the mathematical calculation procedures for determining capital requirements for credit, market and operational risks. These rules are set out in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, which requires banks to have a Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% and a total capital adequacy ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. On 30 June 2015, a new Tier 1 capital requirement entered into force. According to these requirements, an additional capital conservation buffer equal to 2.5% of the total amount of assessed risk must be accumulated. Risk-weighted assets are calculated using a standardised approach with risk weights assigned to different groups according to the nature of the assets and the risks involved, taking into account the collateral and guarantees used to mitigate the risks. Off-balance sheet items are treated similarly. The operational risk capital requirement is calculated using the Basic Indicator Approach. The additional minimum own funds requirement (Pillar 2) applicable to the Bank as of 31 October 2024 is 2.42%.

The second pillar sets out the supervisory processes and requires banks to conduct an internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP).
The Bank’s internal capital adequacy assessment process is reviewed at least once a year. It identifies risks that are material to the Bank. Subtypes of risks are distinguished to detail the types of risk. All the Bank’s business units participate in the self-assessment process. Based on the material risks identified, an additional capital adequacy requirement is set. The additional capital requirement is determined through periodic stress tests and internal capital adequacy assessments.
The Bank’s self-assessment identified credit risk as the most material. Concentration risk is considered part of credit risk. The Bank has a medium level of operational risk. In addition, the following risks that are material to the Bank have been identified: information and communication technology and security risks, compliance risk, money laundering, terrorist financing risks, fraud risk and international sanctions risk. Liquidity risk is managed centrally, but as the Bank does not have a financial institution as a shareholder partner, the Bank’s exposure to liquidity risk is medium. Market risk includes foreign exchange and interest rate risks. Other subtypes of risk are considered to be of low materiality. Internal regulations are in place to manage the different risks and their sub-risks and help ensure the integrity of the risk management process. The Bank’s exposure to risk is limited by a system of internal limits. In addition to setting limits, other risk management tools include internal control mechanisms, monitoring of sources of risk and communication to the Bank’s management.
In addition to the assessment of various risks and the calculation of capital requirements, stress tests are carried out for credit, liquidity, market (interest rate, exchange rate) and operational risks. This test assesses whether the Bank’s capital would be sufficient to cover potential losses resulting from a deterioration in the Bank’s financial position. Stress tests are carried out once a year.
The primary objective of the Bank’s and the Group’s capital management is to ensure that the Group and the Bank meet the capital requirements set by external authorities and maintain a sufficient capital ratio to develop the business and enhance shareholder value.
On 30 June 2023, requirement for sectoral systemic risk buffer was introduced. The sectoral systemic risk buffer is set at 2% of the sum of risk-weighted retail exposures secured by residential real estate to natural persons resident in the Republic of Lithuania. The 1% countercyclical capital buffer requirement for exposures in Lithuania came into force on 1 October 2023.
A leverage ratio requirement of 3.0% applies as of 28 June 2021. As at 31 December 2024, the Bank’s leverage ratio was 8.80% (the Group’s 8.89%), exceeding the minimum requirement. As at 31 December 2023, the Bank’s leverage ratio was 9.31% (the Group’s 9.25%).
With the permission of the Bank of Lithuania, part of the Bank’s audited financial profit for nine (9) months (EUR 5 million) was included in the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital as at 31 December 2024.
