In brief: MuniFin Group in 2025
• The Group’s net operating profit excluding unrealised fair value changes* decreased by
1.5% (+2.9%) in January–December and amounted to EUR 178 million (EUR 181 million).
Net interest income* was at the same level as in the year before and totalled
EUR 260 million (EUR 260 million). Higher expenses compared to the comparison period
weakened the net operating profit excluding unrealised fair value changes.
• Net operating profit* amounted to EUR 193 million (EUR 166 million). Unrealised fair value
changes amounted to EUR 14 million (EUR -16 million) in the financial year. Unrealised fair
value changes were influenced in particular by changes in market rates and credit risk
spreads in the Group’s main funding markets.
• Costs* in the financial year amounted to EUR 86 million (EUR 81 million). Expenses
increased mainly due to the rise in HR and administrative costs as well as in commission fee
expenses.
• The Group’s leverage ratio remained at a strong level, standing at 13.1% (12.3%) at the
end of December.
• At the end of December, the Group’s CET1 capital ratio was very strong at 94.0% (107.7%).
The ratio was pulled down by the new CRR III regulation that was applied on 1 January
2025, resulting in a decline in the capital ratio approximately by 10 percentage points,
mainly due to the increase in credit valuation adjustment risk (CVA VaR). The Group’s
CET1 capital ratio was nevertheless over six times the required minimum of 15.1% (15.0%),
taking capital buffers into account.
• Long-term customer financing (long-term loans and leased assets) excluding fair value
changes* totalled EUR 38,510 million (EUR 35,787 million) at the end of December and
saw an increase of 7.6% (8.6%). New long-term customer financing* increased by 0.6%
(17.1%) in January–December 2025 and amounted to EUR 5,088 million (EUR 5,056 million).
Short-term customer financing* totalled EUR 1,895 million (EUR 1,825 million).

• Of all long-term customer financing, the amount of green finance* aimed at environmentally
sustainable investments totalled EUR 9,111 million (EUR 6,817 million) and the amount
of social finance* aimed at investments promoting equality and communality totalled
EUR 2,775 million (EUR 2,536 million) at the end of December. The amount of the newly
introduced sustainability-linked loan totalled EUR 710 million (EUR 38 million). The total
amount of sustainable finance increased by 34.1% (33.6%) from the previous year. The
ratio of sustainable finance to long-term customer financing excluding unrealised fair value
changes* grew by 6.5 percentage points to 32.7% (26.2%).
• In 2025, new long-term funding* reached EUR 10,019 million (EUR 8,922 million). At the
end of December, the total funding* was EUR 49,117 million (EUR 46,737 million), of which
long-term funding* made up EUR 45,042 million (EUR 43,328 million).
• The Group’s total liquidity* is very strong, standing at EUR 11,636 million (EUR 11,912 million)
at the end of the financial year. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) stood at 225% (339%)
and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) at 121% (124%) at the end of the year.
• MuniFin’s Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting to be held in spring
2026 a dividend of EUR 1.83 per share, totalling EUR 71.5 million. The total dividend
payment in 2025 was EUR 1.86 per share, totalling EUR 72.7 million.

Operating environment in 2025
Operating environment in 2025
MuniFin Group raises the funds required to finance its
customers from the international capital markets. For this
reason, developments in global politics and their impacts
on the markets can also have a material effect on MuniFin’s
funding. In addition, MuniFin’s funding is critically dependent
on investors’ confidence in the Finnish economy and, by
extension, in the public sector’s ability to service its debt.
Changes in interest rates have a direct impact on MuniFin’s
funding costs and consequently also on the price of
customer financing. The Group therefore actively monitor
all these factors that have a material effect on its operating
environment.
In the first half of the year, economic confidence began to
waver globally as the import tariffs pursued by Donald Trump
following his return to the US presidency proved higher than
expected. Other aspects of US politics also saw greater
changes than initially anticipated. As the year progressed,
sentiment in the economy and the markets nevertheless
stabilised, as the immediate impacts of Trump’s tariff policy
appeared to remain relatively moderate. In Europe, economic
growth forecasts were even revised upwards in the latter half
of the year. Towards the end of the year, the main economic
concerns shifted away from trade policy tensions to the
economic outlook in the US and the potential overheating of
artificial intelligence investments and equity markets.
The recovery of the Finnish economy started promisingly
in 2024 but came to a halt in 2025. Investments began to
increase also in Finland, but subdued domestic consumer
demand and a weakening in public demand weighed on GDP
growth, leaving it clearly below forecasts. The economic
outlook was further darkened by rising unemployment. The
trend of the unemployment rate rose to above ten per cent in
the latter half of the year.
The lack of growth undermined tax revenues and kept benefit
expenditures high. Public sector indebtedness continued to
rise sharply, with Finland’s debt-to-GDP ratio approaching
90%. Despite the challenges in the operating environment,
municipal finances proved more resilient than expected
in 2025. Municipalities made fiscal adjustment efforts and
prioritised investments, which helped curb the growth of
their funding deficit. The finances of wellbeing services
counties also balanced out more than expected. Affordable
social housing production contracted slightly from the
previous year due to cuts to government interest subsidy loan
authorisations.
Central banks continued to ease monetary policy in 2025.
The European Central Bank (ECB) lowered its deposit facility
rate by a total of one percentage point. At the end of the year,
the deposit facility rate stood at 2.00%. In the US, rate cuts by
the central bank were restrained by inflation remaining above
the target level, even though employment figures weakened
significantly, which would have supported faster rate
reductions. In the end, the US Federal Reserve lowered its key
interest rate by only 0.75 percentage points in 2025, bringing
it to a targeted range of 3.50–3.75%.
Due to the ECB’s rate cuts, euro area money market rates
came down in 2025. The 12-month Euribor rate fell from
2.46% to 2.24% and the 3-month Euribor rate from 2.71% to
2.03%. The interest rate curve steepened as Europe’s large
investment needs increased the demand for capital, putting
upward pressure on long-term borrowing rates. Germany’s
10-year bond yield went up from 2.36% in January to 2.85%
in December, while Finland’s corresponding rate rose from
2.82% to 3.16%. Trump’s protectionist trade policies were
expected to strengthen the dollar, but the euro unexpectedly
appreciated by over 13% over the year, rising from 1.04 to 1.18
against the dollar.

Information on the Group results
The Group’s net operating profit excluding
unrealised fair value changes
MuniFin Group’s core business operations continued to be
stable in 2025. New long-term customer financing remained
on the previous year’s level. The Group’s financial standing
remained strong.
The Group’s net operating profit excluding unrealised fair
value changes decreased by 1.5% (+2.9%) and amounted to
EUR 178 million (EUR 181 million). The decrease was caused
by increased expenses.
The Group’s income excluding unrealised fair value changes
was EUR 265 million (EUR 262 million) and grew by 1.2%
(1.1%). Net interest income remained on the previous year’s
level, totalling EUR 260 million (EUR 260 million).

Other income totalled EUR 5.3 million (EUR 2.0 million). It
consisted mainly of income from MuniFin’s digital services,
net result from FX differences and net result on unwinding
derivatives in hedge accounting. Net result from FX
differences was EUR -1.5 million (EUR 0.5 million) in the
reporting period. Realised income from derivative contracts
amounted to EUR 4.8 million. There were none in the
comparison period. At 2.0% (0.8%), other income relative to
income excluding unrealised fair value changes forms only a
minor part of the Group’s income.
The Group’s expenses totalled EUR 86 million
(EUR 81 million), up by 6.6% (-1.9%) from the year before.
Expenses increased mainly due to the rise in HR and
administrative costs as well as in commission fee expenses.
Commission expenses increased by 7.4% (8.2%) and totalled
EUR 18 million (EUR 17 million), of which EUR 16 million (EUR
14 million) consisted of the guarantee commission fees to
the Municipal Guarantee Board for guaranteeing MuniFin’s
funding.
MuniFin Group’s commission fee expenses may increase
significantly in 2026 based on the decision made in 2025 by
the Municipal Guarantee Board to raise the guarantee fee
payable to the Board. The guarantee fee is paid on MuniFin’s
funding that is guaranteed by the Board. The Municipal
Guarantee Board has decided to increase the guarantee
fee to more than three times its previous level, calculated
on the amount of guaranteed funding. MuniFin does not
consider the increase reasonable, and the matter requires
further clarification. The risks related to MuniFin’s operations
have not changed; the Group’s risk position remains stable,
and it has excellent financial buffers to withstand potential
disruptions in the operating environment. There have also
been no changes in the credit rating agencies’ assessments
of the Company.
HR and administrative expenses grew by 13.2% (7.2%) and
reached EUR 49 million (EUR 44 million) Of this, personnel
expenses comprised EUR 23 million (EUR 21 million)
and other administrative expenses EUR 26 million
(EUR 23 million). The average number of employees in the
Group was 185 (187) during the financial year. Other items
in administrative expenses grew by 15.8% (12.4%), mainly
due to the increased costs of maintaining and developing
information systems.
During the financial year, depreciation on tangible and
intangible assets totalled EUR 4.0 million (EUR 6.0 million) and
they decreased by 34.1% (-7.8%).
Other operating expenses increased by 2.6% (-27.0%)
and were EUR 14 million (EUR 14 million). Other operating
expenses excluding fees collected by authorities were
EUR 11 million (EUR 11 million).
Credit losses and impairments on financial assets were
EUR 0.9 million (EUR 0.3 million) in the income statement.
This item consists of expected credit losses (ECL). The
Group updated its forward-looking macro scenarios during
the financial year. At the end of June 2025, the Group’s
management assessed the need for an ECL management
overlay, as some housing sector customers were still
experiencing cash flow issues due to the oversupply and
regional underutilisation of premises. The management
decided to recognise an EUR 0.1 million additional
discretionary provision based on the group-specific
assessment. At the end of 2025, the management
reassessed the situation and decided to release the previous
provision and recognised a new additional discretionary
provision of EUR 0.2 million based on the group-specific
assessment, grounded in the evaluation of customers’ cash
flow sufficiency in 2026.

The Group’s overall credit risk position in customer financing
has remained low. The amount of forborne loans was
EUR 658 million (EUR 561 million), while non-performing
exposures amounted to EUR 454 million (EUR 292 million)
at the end of the year. These non-performing exposures
represented 1.1% (0.8%) of total customer exposures.
At the end of December, the Group had EUR 133 million
(EUR 13 million) in receivables due to the insolvency of
customers, for which the collateral realisation process
is ongoing, or the credit receivable is due for payment by
the guarantor. Individual housing sector customers have
encountered serious financial difficulties. However, due to the
collateral and guarantee arrangements securing MuniFin’s
receivables, no credit losses are expected from these
exposures.
All the Group’s customer financing receivables are from
Finnish municipalities, joint municipal authorities, wellbeing
services counties or joint county authorities, or accompanied
by a securing municipal, joint municipal authority, wellbeing
services county or joint county authority guarantee or a state
deficiency guarantee supplementing real estate collateral,
and therefore no final credit losses will arise. According to the
management’s assessment, all receivables from customers
will be fully recovered. During the Group’s history of over 35
years, it has never recognised any final credit losses in its
customer financing.
The credit risk of the Group’s liquidity portfolio has likewise
remained at a low level, and the average credit rating of debt
securities in the portfolio is AA+ (AA+). More information on
the credit risks of financial assets and other commitments is
available in Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group’s profit and unrealised fair value changes
The Group’s net operating profit was EUR 193 million
(EUR 166 million). Unrealised fair value changes increased
the Group’s net operating profit by EUR 14 million (in 2024:
decreased by EUR 16 million). In January–December,
unrealised fair value changes in hedge accounting amounted
EUR -5.6 million to (EUR -12 million) and unrealised net result
on financial assets and liabilities through profit or loss to
EUR 20 million (EUR -3.8 million).
The Group’s effective tax rate in the financial year was
20.0% (19.9%). Taxes in the consolidated income statement
amounted to EUR 39 million (EUR 33 million). After taxes,
the Group’s profit for the financial year was EUR 154 million
(EUR 133 million).
The Group’s full-year return on equity (ROE) was 7.9% (7.2%).
Excluding unrealised fair value changes, the ROE was 7.4%
(7.9%).
The Group’s other comprehensive income includes unrealised
fair value changes of EUR -113 million (EUR 169 million). During
the financial year, the most significant item affecting the other
comprehensive income was net change in fair value due to
changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated
at fair value through profit or loss totalling EUR -78 million
(EUR 137 million). The cost-of-hedging amounted to EUR -34
million (EUR 30 million). Net change in fair value of financial
assets at fair value through other comprehensive income was
EUR -1.2 million (EUR 1.7 million).
On the whole, unrealised fair value changes net of
deferred tax affected the Group’s equity by EUR -79 million
(EUR 122 million) and CET1 capital net of deferred tax in
capital adequacy by EUR -18 million (EUR 13 million). The
cumulative effect of unrealised fair value changes on the
Group’s own funds in capital adequacy calculations was
EUR 40 million (EUR 58 million).

/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
Information on the Group results
Unrealised fair value changes reflect the temporary impact
of market conditions on the valuation levels of financial
instruments at the time of reporting. The value changes
may vary significantly from one reporting period to another,
causing volatility in profit, equity and own funds in capital
adequacy calculations. The effect on individual contracts
will be removed by the end of the contract period. In the
financial year, unrealised fair value changes were influenced in
particular by changes in interest rates and credit risk spreads
in the Group’s main funding markets.
In accordance with its risk management principles, the Group
uses derivatives to financially hedge against interest rate,
exchange rate and other market and price risks. Cash flows
under agreements are hedged, but due to the generally used
valuation methods, changes in fair value differ between the
financial instrument and the respective hedging derivative.
Changes in the shape of the interest rate curve and credit
risk spreads in different currencies affect the valuations,
which cause the fair values of hedged assets and liabilities
and hedging instruments to behave in different ways. In
practice, the changes in valuations are not realised on a cash
basis because the Group holds financial instruments and
their hedging derivatives almost always until the maturity
date. The counterparty credit risk related to derivatives
is comprehensively covered by collateral management.
Changes in credit risk spreads are not expected to be
materialised as credit losses for the Group, because the
Group’s liquidity reserve has been invested in instruments
with low credit risk.
The Parent Company and subsidiary
company’s results
In 2025, MuniFin’s net interest income amounted to
EUR 260 million (EUR 260 million) and net operating profit to
EUR 193 million (EUR 166 million).
The turnover of MuniFin’s subsidiary company,
Kuntarahoituksen digitaaliset palvelut Oy, was EUR 0.3 million
(EUR 0.4 million), and its net operating result amounted
to EUR 0.0 million (EUR -0.5 million). The subsidiary was
formerly called Financial Advisory Services Inspira Plc and
used to offer advisory services to MuniFin’s customers.
The Group discontinued these services in 2024, and the
subsidiary company now provides some of the digital value-
added services MuniFin offers to its customers.

MuniFin Group’s consolidated statement of financial position
exceeded EUR 55 billion in the financial year and totalled
EUR 55,634 million (EUR 53,092 million) at the end of
December. The Group’s consolidated statement of financial
position saw 4.8% (6.7%) of growth from year-end 2024. The
growth in assets was mainly due to the increase in the long-
term loan portfolio in loans and advances to the public and
public sector entities, in debt securities and in cash collateral
for derivatives. In liabilities, the largest change was in new
issuances in debt securities issued.
At the end of the financial year, the Group’s equity stood at
EUR 1,936 million (EUR 1,945 million). The Group’s equity
was increased by the financial year’s profit of EUR 154 million
(EUR 133 million) and decreased by the changes in own credit
revaluation reserve and cost-of-hedging reserve totalling
EUR 91 million (in 2024: increased by EUR 134 million). In
the consolidated accounts, dividends of EUR 73 million
(EUR 66 million) for the financial year 2024, paid to MuniFin’s
shareholders in April 2025, were deducted from the equity.
The Parent Company’s balance sheet at the end of the year
was EUR 55,635 million (EUR 53,092 million).

EUR 5,088 million (EUR 5,056 million), of which EUR 4,929 million
(EUR 4,839 million) consisted of loans and EUR 159 million
(EUR 217 million) of leased assets.
The Group’s total long-term customer financing amounted to
EUR 37,909 million (EUR 35,173 million) at year-end, of which
loans totalled EUR 36,284 million (EUR 33,610 million) and leased
assets EUR 1,635 million (EUR 1,563 million). Of the long-term loan
portfolio, 52% (49%) is held by housing corporations, 39% (42%)
by municipalities, joint municipal authorities and corporate entities
under their control, and 9% (9%) by wellbeing services counties. Of
the long-term loan portfolio to housing corporations, 46% consists
of municipality-owned companies and 54% of non-profit housing
organisations. Long-term customer financing excluding unrealised
fair value changes amounted to EUR 38,510 million (EUR 35,787
million) at the end of December, growing by 7.6% (8.6%). Short-term
customer financing in commercial papers totalled EUR 1,895 million
(EUR 1,825 million) at the end of the year.

Financing and other services for customers
In 2025, MuniFin Group continued to devote significant
resources to making its customer financing processes even
more effective and convenient. The Group has expanded
its digital services rapidly in recent years, and the majority
of financing applications are now submitted digitally.
Consistent improvements in the quality of digital services aim
to ensure an even more seamless customer experience and
communication.
Financing encourages sustainable investments
MuniFin Group offers its customers green and social
finance for their sustainable investments. In 2025, MuniFin
introduced more broadly a new sustainability-linked loan to
its range of sustainable finance products. This loan is offered
for municipalities that have a climate plan demonstrating
their commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Municipalities receive a margin discount on their loan every
year they achieve the emission reduction targets set for them.
MuniFin Group is committed to systemically reducing the
carbon footprint of the projects it finances, offering customers
support with emission reductions and better managing the
climate and environmental risks associated with the Group’s
operations. The goal of the Group’s sustainability agenda is to
increase the proportion of sustainable finance and thus also
reduce financed emissions from buildings. In 2025, MuniFin
Group prepared a new and even more ambitious sustainability
agenda, which was approved in December and published
in January 2026. According to the new agenda, the goal is
for sustainable finance to account for 50% of the Group’s
long-term customer financing by 2035 (at the end of 2025,
the realised figure was 32.7%).
In 2025, the Group revised its green and social finance
frameworks, which set the parameters for granting
sustainable finance, project assessment and reporting.
Of the two, the green finance framework underwent a more
significant overhaul, with tighter eligibility criteria reflecting
anticipated legislative changes and the addition of new
project categories supporting biodiversity and climate
change adaptation.
At the end of 2025, green finance accounted for 23.7%
(19.0%), social finance for 7.2% (7.1%) and the sustainability-
linked loan launched in 2025 for 1.8% (0.1%) of long-term
customer financing excluding unrealised fair value changes.
Under the new sustainability agenda, the goal is to reduce
the emission intensity of municipal budget loans by 50%
from the 2023 level by 2035. With financed emissions from
buildings, the goal is to decrease the emission intensity
of the portfolio by more than 70% by 2035, bringing it to a
maximum of 4.3 kg CO₂e/m² for residential buildings and of
8.4 kg CO₂e/m² for other buildings. Based on 2024 data, the
portfolio’s emission intensity was 14.2 kg CO₂e/m² (2023:
14.7 kg CO₂e/m²).
At the end of the year, the Group had financed 712 (576) green
finance projects, and the outstanding amount of green finance
was EUR 9,111 million (EUR 6,817 million). The number of social
finance projects was 174 (152), and the outstanding amount of
social finance was EUR 2,775 million (EUR 2,536 million). The
outstanding amount of the new sustainability-linked loan was
EUR 710 million (EUR 38 million).
Every year, MuniFin Group publishes on its website impact
reports on its green and social finance, as well as a financed
emissions report required under the Partnership for Carbon
Account Financials standard, disclosing the greenhouse
gas emissions associated with its lending and investment
portfolios.

Funding and liquidity management
Funding and liquidity management
MuniFin Group acquires its funding mainly from the
international capital markets as standardised issuances
under debt programmes. The funding strategy relies on
wide diversification into multiple currencies, maturities,
geographical areas and investor groups to secure access to
funding under all market conditions.
The Group’s strategy has proved highly successful against
the backdrop of recent years’ turmoil in monetary and security
policy, which continued in 2025. From the perspective of
MuniFin’s funding, the year was highly successful: investor
demand was even stronger than expected and benchmark
bonds and other funding arrangements proved successful,
which resulted in the cost of funding decreasing by the end of
the year from the elevated level of the year beginning.
The year once again included a number of successful
benchmark bond issuances. The five-year EUR 1.25 billion
benchmark bond broke previous records with an order book
of EUR 7.1 billion, and the seven-year EUR 1.0 billion green
bond was nearly five times oversubscribed. MuniFin Group
aims to issue new green and social bonds on a regular basis.
In 2025, the Group’s new long-term funding totalled EUR
10,019 million (EUR 8,922 million). A total of 101 (70) long-
term funding arrangements were made in 10 (9) different
currencies. In 2025, the Group’s funding activities extended
beyond the euro and US dollar markets, with a large portion of
new funding raised in British pounds, Norwegian kroner and
Swedish kronor. The Group uses derivatives to hedge against
market risks in funding.

At the end of 2025, the Group’s total funding amounted
to EUR 49,117 million (EUR 46,737 million), of which the
Euro Commercial Papers (ECP) totalled EUR 4,075 million
(EUR 3,409 million). Of total funding, 50.4% (50.5%)
was denominated in euros and 49,6% (49.5%) in foreign
currencies.
MuniFin’s debt programmes
Medium Term Note (MTN) programme EUR 50,000 million
Euro Commercial paper (ECP) programme EUR 10,000 million
AUD debt programme (Kangaroo) AUD 2,000 million
MuniFin’s funding is guaranteed by the Municipal Guarantee
Board (MGB), a public law institution whose members consist
of all the municipalities in mainland Finland. The members
are responsible for the liabilities of the MGB in proportion to
their population. The MGB has granted guarantees for both
the debt programmes and funding arrangements outside
the programmes. Based on this, debt instruments issued
by MuniFin are classified as zero-risk when calculating
the capital adequacy of credit institutions and solvency of
insurance companies, and as Level 1 liquid assets in liquidity
calculation in the EU.
MuniFin Group’s long-term risk appetite framework specifies
that total liquidity must cover uninterrupted business for
a survival horizon of at least 12 months. With the amount
held at the end of the year, the Group could uphold all its
commitments with no additional funding for over 12 months
(15 months).
In 2025, the Group increased its allocation to bonds. The
focus remained on low-risk investments that support
operational stability, while also seeking improved returns.
Tighter margins also supported an increase in the market
values of the investment portfolio. At the end of the year, the
Group’s total liquidity stood at EUR 11,636 million (EUR 11,912
million). Of this, central bank deposits totalled EUR 5,207
million (EUR 7,809 million) and investments in liquid, low-risk
securities EUR 6,099 million (EUR 4,016 million), with the
average credit rating of AA+ (AA+) and average maturity of 3.6
years (3.2 years). In addition to this, the Group’s money market
deposits in credit institutions totalled EUR 330 million (EUR
88 million). The Group’s liquidity investments are hedged with
interest rate swaps. Changes in interest rates therefore do not
have a direct impact on profit and loss.
The Group’s liquidity investments are steered by the goal of
low credit risk, high liquidity and sustainability. The Group
monitors the sustainability of its investments through their
ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) score.
At the end of the year, the Group’s liquidity investments had
an average ESG score of 7.56 (7.70), above the benchmark
index of 7.51 (7.51). The Group held a total of EUR 1,349 million
(EUR 870 million) in direct socially responsible investments
(SRIs), which is 22.0% (21.5%) of all the Group’s investments
in securities. The ratio of SRIs to the Group’s own green and
social funding was 19.2% (14.9%).

MuniFin Group’s own funds and capital adequacy
The amendments to the EU Capital Requirements Regulation
(CRR III) applicable to credit institutions entered into force
at the beginning of 2025. MuniFin Group’s capital adequacy
remains very strong also under the new regulation. The
Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 94.0%
(107.7%), which corresponds to both its Tier 1 capital ratio and
total capital ratio at the end of 2025 because the Group only
had CET1 capital at the time. The decline in capital adequacy
ratios was influenced by the implementation of CRR III
regulation, as well as by the Group’s allocation changes in
liquidity portfolio. The impact of CRR III regulation on capital
adequacy ratios was approximately -10 percentage points,
mainly due to the adoption of the basic method for credit
valuation adjustment risk. Due to the Group’s small amount of
risk-weighted assets and strong capital adequacy, the impact
of regulatory changes on capital ratios can be significant
without having a material impact on the Group’s capital
position. The Group’s CET1 capital ratio was over six times the
required minimum of 15.1% (15.0%), taking capital buffers into
account.

Capital adequacy
At the end of the year, the Group’s CET1 capital totalled
EUR 1,706 million (EUR 1,646 million). The Group had no
Additional Tier 1 instruments or Tier 2 capital at the end of
the financial year, so its CET1 capital was therefore equal
to its Tier 1 capital and total own funds.
The CET1 capital includes profit for the financial year.
This profit has been subject to a financial review by auditors
and can therefore be included in CET1 capital based on the
permission granted by the ECB in accordance with the CRR.
The Board’s 2025 dividend proposal of EUR 71.5 million (EUR
72.7 million) has been deducted from the Group’s own funds.
The Group’s total risk exposure amount increased by 18.8%
from the end of 2024, totalling EUR 1,815 million (EUR 1,528
million) at the end of the financial year. The risk exposure
amount for credit and counterparty credit risk increased
by EUR 163 million from the end of 2024 to EUR 788 million
(EUR 625 million). Due to the changes in the interest rate
environment, the Group has continued to gradually allocate
liquidity to low-risk long-term securities during the year, which
has increased the amount of credit risk. Counterparty credit
risk remained at the same level as at the end of 2024.

Capital adequacy
There was no capital requirement for market risk at the end
of the financial year or in the comparison year, because
the currency position was less than 2% of the Group’s own
funds, and, based on Article 351 of the CRR, the own funds
requirement for market risk has therefore not been calculated.
The CRR III regulation changed the calculation of the credit
valuation adjustment (CVA VaR), increasing the total risk
exposure amount by 26.4% to EUR 573 million (EUR 453
million).
The risk exposure amount of operational risk was EUR
454 million (EUR 450 million). MuniFin Group has utilised
the so-called Prudential Boundary Approach (PBA) for the
financial component in the calculation of operational risk,
based on the European Banking Authority’s no-action letter
(dated 12 Aug 2024) related to the postponement of the
implementation of the Fundamental Review of the Trading
Book (FRTB) regulation.

Capital adequacy
The postponement of the FRTB regulation’s implementation
has created a situation where derivative contracts that hedge
market risks in banking operations would be classified in
the trading book without their impact being netted with the
hedged item in the calculation of operational risk requirement.
According to MuniFin Group’s assessment, the Group does
not have trading activities, so it has decided to utilise the
PBA method in the capital adequacy calculation for 2025.
The Group believes that after the removal of the temporal
differences related to the regulation, the approach can be
applied in 2027, and applying the approach already in 2025
provides an accurate picture of MuniFin Group’s capital
adequacy. The impact of the PBA method is estimated to
be approximately 21 percentage points. Without the PBA
method, the Group’s CET1 capital ratio was almost five times
the required minimum capital, taking capital buffers into
account.
The principles of capital adequacy management and detailed
key figures on the capital adequacy are provided in the Notes

The Group’s minimum capital requirements
and capital buffers
The minimum capital requirement is 8.0% for total capital
adequacy and 4.5% for CET1 capital adequacy. Under
the Act on Credit Institutions, the capital conservation
buffer is 2.5%. An additional capital requirement for other
systemically important credit institutions (O-SII buffer) is
0.5% for MuniFin Group. At the end of June 2025, the Finnish
Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) gave its yearly
decision on O-SII buffers and kept MuniFin Group’s buffer
unchanged at 0.5%.
The FIN-FSA has imposed a requirement to maintain a
systemic risk buffer (SyRB) covered by CET1 capital and
amounting to 1.0% on MuniFin. This requirement also applies
to other Finnish credit institutions at the same level. In its
June 2025 decision, the FIN-FSA decided to keep the SyRB
requirement unchanged at 1.0% (effective from 1 July 2026).
In December 2025, the FIN-FSA also decided to keep the
countercyclical capital buffer requirement unchanged
at the baseline level of 0%. For MuniFin Group, the credit
institution-specific countercyclical capital buffer requirement
that is imposed based on the geographical distribution of
exposures is 1.1% (1.0%). The Group therefore has a minimum
requirement of 9.6% (9.5%) for its CET1 capital ratio and 13.1%
(13.0%) for its total capital ratio.

In addition to the abovementioned requirements, the ECB has
imposed a bank-specific Pillar 2 requirement (P2R) of 2.0%
on MuniFin Group as part of the annual Supervisory Review
and Evaluation Process (SREP). The total SREP capital
requirement ratio (TSCR) was 10.0% (10.0%) at the end of
December 2025.
The minimum level of total capital ratio was 15.1% (15.0%),
including P2R and other additional capital requirements.
Leverage ratio, liquidity coverage ratio and net
stable funding ratio
At the end of December, MuniFin Group’s leverage ratio was
13.1% (12.3%). MuniFin fulfils the CRR definition of a public
development credit institution and may therefore deduct all
credit receivables from municipalities, wellbeing services
counties and the central government in the calculation of its
leverage ratio. The amount of these credit receivables was
EUR 41,610 million (EUR 38,604 million) at the end of the
financial year. Overall, the Group’s leverage ratio exposures
totalled EUR 13,043 million (EUR 13,340 million).
The CRR III regulation that became applicable on 1 January
2025 did not introduce significant changes to MuniFin
Group’s leverage ratio calculation. The minimum required
leverage ratio is 3.0%.
At the end of December, MuniFin Group’s Liquidity Coverage
Ratio (LCR) was 224.6% (338.8%) and its Net Stable Funding
Ratio (NSFR) was 121.4% (123.7%). Both have a minimum
requirement of 100%.
Liabilities under the Act on the Resolution of Credit
Institutions and Investment Firms
MuniFin’s resolution authorities are the EU’s Single Resolution
Board (SRB) and the Finnish Financial Stability Authority
(FFSA). In November 2024, the SRB and the FFSA removed
MuniFin’s binding minimum requirement for own funds
and eligible liabilities (MREL) as a result of changes to the
European Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD)
and corresponding national legislation.
Under the revised framework, the MREL requirement no
longer applies to credit institutions subject to simplified
obligations. Before the MREL requirement was lifted,
MuniFin’s own funds and eligible liabilities exceeded it multiple
times, so this change will not have a significant effect on the
Group’s operations.
Changes in banking regulation
The European Commission published its proposal for the
implementation of the final Basel III banking regulatory
standards in the EU (CRR III/CRD IV) at the end of October
2021, and the majority of the new CRR rules took effect on
1 January 2025. This reform has affected banks’ capital
adequacy calculation, especially in the context of credit,
market and operational risks, credit valuation adjustment
(CVA VaR) and leverage ratio. It also introduced a new
output floor. MuniFin Group’s business model is based on
zero-risk-weighted customer financing, which did not change
with the implementation of the CRR III. The reform has,
however, affected MuniFin’s capital adequacy calculations
and reporting methods. During the financial year, MuniFin has
undertaken a project to implement the changes introduced
by the CRR III regulation. The effects of the changes are
explained in more detail in the section MuniFin Group’s own
funds and capital adequacy.

During the early part of the year, the Group continued to
prepare for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive
(CSRD), approved by the European Parliament in November
2022, and the corresponding national legislation. In February
2025, the European Commission published the Omnibus I
simplification package with the aim of reducing administrative
burden for businesses by streamlining sustainability reporting
requirements. The package included proposals to postpone
the application of the CSRD and to reduce the scope of
reporting companies. The postponement was approved by
the European Parliament and Council in April 2025, and the
related national legislation entered into force on 1 December
2025. The law may also be applied to financial years
beginning on 1 January 2025 or thereafter. Consequently,
MuniFin Group’s sustainability reporting obligation was
postponed by two years, until the end of 2027.
In December 2025, the amendment directive proposal was
also approved by the European Parliament. As a result, once
the directive enters into force, the sustainability reporting
obligation will apply only to companies with more than EUR
450 million in net turnover and more than 1,000 employees.
Therefore, MuniFin Group would be entirely excluded
from the sustainability reporting obligation. The national
implementation of the amendment directive is still ongoing,
and MuniFin is monitoring the progress of the national
legislative process.
The Group has also continued to incorporate its ESG risk
reporting into its Pillar III Disclosure Report in accordance
with CRR Article 449a. In the first half of 2025, the Group
disclosed its phase 3 information on the Banking Book
Taxonomy Alignment Ratio (BTAR) as of the end of 2024.
The EBA Guidelines on the management of ESG risks (EBA/
GL/2025/01) were published in January 2025 and entered
into force in January 2026. The guidelines complement
the requirements of the CRD VI Directive for identifying,
measuring, managing, and monitoring ESG risks, for example
through ESG data and materiality analysis requirements.
MuniFin Group has prepared for the entry into force of the
guidelines during the 2025 financial year.
The financial sector’s Digital Operational Resilience Act
(DORA) took effect from January 2025. The Group has
carried out a project to prepare for and comply with DORA. As
part of the project, the Group has updated its ICT agreements,
the processes of maintaining information systems and the
comprehensive risk management of information systems and
information security both internally in the Group and with its
IT vendors. The regulation contains requirements aimed at
improving the resilience of the financial sector to withstand
failures and disruptions in information systems.
The Group has also prepared for the new European Market
Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR 3.0). The EMIR 3.0 framework
introduced new requirements for EU market participants
operating in the derivatives market. EMIR 3.0 requires
market participants to maintain an active account with an EU
central counterparty and clear a representative number of
their euro-denominated interest rate swaps through that EU
central counterparty. In the financial year, MuniFin prepared
for clearing interest rate swaps denominated in euro in the
EU central counterparty EUREX Clearing AG. The first swaps
were cleared successfully in June.
MuniFin Group is also carrying out a multiyear RDARR
implementation program in relation to the ECB’s guidance on
risk data aggregation and risk reporting for credit institutions
(ECB Guide on effective risk data aggregation and risk
reporting), published in May 2024.

MuniFin Group’s financial objectives
MuniFin Group’s strategy emphasises the Group’s core
mandate: ensuring that its limited customer base, which is
assigned to carry out public duties, has access to affordable
financing under all market conditions. This core mandate
necessitates keeping MuniFin’s capital quantity and quality
and liquidity at levels that exceed even the strictest regulatory
requirements at all times, thus enabling the continuation of
normal business operations even during financially difficult
times. MuniFin has conservative risk management policies
and maintains a strong risk-bearing capacity in both quantity
and quality.
Due to its specialised business model, the Group’s strictest
regulatory capital requirement is the leverage ratio, unlike
in most credit institutions. The leverage ratio requirement
is a prudential tool defined under the Capital Requirements
Regulation (CRR) that complements minimum capital
adequacy requirements. Its purpose is to prevent credit
institutions from building up excessive leverage. The leverage
ratio is calculated as a ratio between the institution’s Tier 1
capital and total exposure calculated based on the assets
and off-balance sheet items as described in the regulatory
framework. MuniFin fulfils the CRR definition of a public
development credit institution and may therefore deduct all
credit receivables from municipalities, wellbeing services
counties and the central government in the calculation of its
leverage ratio. After the deduction, the most significant factor
affecting MuniFin’s leverage ratio is the size of its liquidity
portfolio, which safeguards the Group’s liquidity.
MuniFin’s aim is for the Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1)
capital to always surpass 7%, which is the sum of the minimum
requirement set in CRR regulation (3%) and the capital
buffers set by the management (4%). The Group uses these
capital buffers to prepare for events and changes that have
an adverse effect on its capital position. These can include
realised business risks or regulatory changes. The capital
requirement for business risk is based on a strict stress test,
and it mostly results from unrealised fair value changes, which
are temporary in nature.
Capital exceeding the Group’s minimum target covers
fluctuation in capital requirements caused by changes in the
total liquidity amount and safeguards the Group’s continuity of
operations and ability to pay dividends. The Group’s long-term
target is a leverage ratio of 7–10%, which enables the Group to
carry out its core mandate and ensure sufficient liquidity in all
market conditions. At the end of December 2025, the Group’s
leverage ratio calculated with CET1 capital was 13.1% (12.3%).
Because MuniFin’s objective as a public development credit
institution under the CRR is not to maximise profits, the Group
aims at a result that will ensure the Group’s ability to carry
out its core mandate in the long term. The Group’s objective
is to achieve at least a result that is sufficient to cover any
increases in capital requirements arising from increased
business operations and satisfy the shareholders’ expected
yield in the long term. MuniFin uses long-term pricing
strategies and other measures to maximise its customer
benefits while also ensuring the continuity of its operations
and the yield expectation of its shareholders.

The net operating profit excluding unrealised fair value
changes generated from MuniFin’s core business has
remained relatively stable in recent years, totalling about
EUR 170–210 million. However, relative to the volume of
core business, i.e. customer financing, the net operating
profit excluding unrealised fair value changes has dropped
significantly in recent years, which has been in line with
the Group’s plans as a credit institution that does not seek
to maximise profits. Between 2018 and 2024, profitability
relative to the volume of customer financing decreased from
0.83% to 0.50%. In 2025, the comparable ratio continued
to decrease and was 0.46%. In the coming years, MuniFin’s
goal is to maintain a level of total profit that guarantees the
continuity of the Group’s operations.
MuniFin aims to constantly improve the efficiency of its
operations, generating growing added value to its customers
and shareholders. MuniFin’s long-term goal is to gradually
decrease the ratio of the costs and development investments
over which the Group has influence to its customer business.
According to MuniFin’s dividend policy, MuniFin’s strong
capital position allows it to aim to pay 30–60% of the Group’s
financial year’s profit in dividends, as long as it does not
jeopardise the Parent Company’s solvency, liquidity or ability
to meet its commitments. When drafting the annual dividend
proposal and deciding on the distribution of profits, the
following factors influencing the Group’s capital position are
taken into account on a broad spectrum:
• Uncertainties and changes in the operating environment
and regulation
• Assessments of the Group’s financial situation in the future
• The Group’s funding position and liquidity
• Changes to the Group’s risk position
• Unrealised fair value changes affecting the Group’s
own funds
• Assessments of the Group’s liquidity development
• Views of supervisory authorities and credit rating agencies
• Accruals of possible AT1 capital instruments not
recognised in profit and loss.
MuniFin Group’s financial objectives

Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
Risk management
MuniFin Group’s operations require adequate risk
management mechanisms to ensure that its risk position
remains within the limits set by the Parent Company’s
Board of Directors. The Group applies conservative risk
management principles. The aim is to keep the Group’s overall
risk profile at such a low level that the MuniFin’s credit rating
remains the best possible in relation to the credit rating of the
Government of Finland.
The relevant risk types associated with the Group’s
operations include credit and counterparty risk, market risk,
liquidity risk and operational risks, including IT and compliance
risks. All business operations also involve strategic risks and
ESG risks, such as environmental and climate risks.
The Group’s risks are described in more detail in Note 2 Risk
management principles and the Group’s risk position to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group’s risk position
There were no material changes in MuniFin Group’s
risk position in 2025, and risks remained within the risk
appetite limits set by the Board of Directors. The continued
geopolitical tensions and market volatility did not affect the
Group’s performance during the financial year. Credit risk
spreads remained at a high level due to an unusually high
degree of market uncertainty in the SSA sector (Sovereigns,
Supranationals, Agencies). Despite the market volatility, the
Group retained uninterrupted access to capital markets
and continued its funding operations in the usual manner
during the financial year. Because of the uncertainties in
the operating environment, the Group has nevertheless
maintained strong liquidity buffers as a precaution. The
geopolitical instability mainly affects the Group indirectly
through market conditions. Despite the changes in the
operating environment, the Group’s risk position remained
stable and at a moderate level during the financial year.
In 2025, the Group participated in the Single Supervisory
Mechanism (SSM) stress test carried out by the ECB,
covering the years 2025–2027. Its results were published in
the beginning of August. The Group’s capital adequacy clearly
exceeds the level required under the stress test scenario.
Credit risks
The Group is exposed to credit risks as part of its business,
but due to the nature of its customer base, these risks are
low. The Group’s credit risks emerge almost exclusively
from its customer financing, liquidity portfolio investments
and derivatives portfolio. The Group also offers derivative
products for its customers for hedging their interest rate
positions. These products are covered with offsetting
contracts from the market. The Group uses derivatives only
for hedging against market risks.

Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
In view of its credit risk mitigation techniques (mortgage
collateral and guarantees received) and the exemptions set
out in CRR Article 400 related to the calculation of large
exposures, MuniFin Group is not exposed to the customer
risk referred to in the regulation in its customer financing,
and thus the customer risk of any individual customer does
not exceed 10% of the Group’s own funds. Credit loss and
impairments on financial assets in the income statement
were EUR 0.9 million (EUR 0.3 million). This item consists of
expected credit losses (ECL). The amount of forborne loans
was EUR 658 million (EUR 561 million), while non-performing
exposures amounted to EUR 454 million (EUR 292 million)
at the end of the year. For these non-performing exposures,
MuniFin has absolute guarantees by municipalities or
by wellbeing services counties, or real estate collateral
and state deficiency guarantee, and these exposures are
therefore not expected to carry the risk of a final credit loss.
Non-performing exposures represented 1.1% (0.8%) of total
customer exposures.
MuniFin’s credit risk position remained stable and at a low
level during the year. It is expected to remain stable and in line
with the Group’s credit risk strategy also in the future.
Market risks
Market risks include interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and
other market and price risks. The Group uses derivatives to
hedge against market risks. Derivatives can only be used for
hedging purposes as the Group does not engage in trading
activities. Interest rate risk mainly arises from the differences
in reference rates applicable to the assets and liabilities in the
balance sheet. In addition, the Group may create a strategic
mismatch portfolio, i.e. leave fixed-rate exposures unhedged,
to achieve its objective of earnings stabilisation. The strategic
mismatch portfolio can include both fixed- and revisable-rate
loans as well as fixed-rate investments in the liquidity portfolio.
Derivatives are not used in the creation of the strategic
mismatch.
The Group actively monitors and hedges its interest rate risk.
Ten scenarios are used in the calculation of the net interest
income (NII) risk, of which the least favourable outcome is
considered. At the end of December, one-year NII risk was
EUR -38 million, and the least favourable scenario was a
short rate shock up (at the end of 2024, the least favourable
scenario was a short rate shock up, EUR -44 million). Several
scenarios are also used in the calculation of the economic
value of equity (EVE), of which the least favourable outcome
is considered. At the end of December, the least favourable
scenario was a parallel shock of +200 basis points, resulting
in EVE of EUR -134 million (at the end of 2024, the least
favourable scenario was a parallel shock of +200 basis points,
EUR -120 million).
The Group mitigates its foreign exchange (FX) risk by using
derivative contracts to swap all funding and investments
denominated in foreign currency into euros. The Group’s
customer financing is denominated in euros, and the Group
has no significant open FX positions. In practice, a small
temporary exchange rate risk may occasionally arise due
to cash collateral management (USD) in the clearing of
derivatives by central counterparties, but this risk is actively
monitored and hedged. Derivatives are also used to hedge
against other market and price risks.
The Group has also determined valuation risk as a significant
risk for its business. During the financial year, unrealised
fair value changes of financial instruments increased the
Group’s earnings volatility. The unrealised fair value changes
were influenced in particular by changes in interest rate
expectations and credit risk spreads in the Group’s main
funding markets. The Group continuously monitors and
analyses the volatility arising from valuations and prepares for
any impacts this may have on its profit and capital adequacy.
The Group’s market risk has remained stable despite the
market changes.

Liquidity risks
MuniFin Group manages its refinancing risk by limiting the
average maturity between financial assets and liabilities.
In addition, the Group manages its liquidity risk by setting a
limit for the minimum adequacy of the available short-term
and long-term liquidity. The Group’s survival horizon was
12 months (15 months) at the end of the year. The Group’s
liquidity remained good.
The Group’s liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 224.6%
(338.8%) at the end of the financial year. The availability of
long-term funding is monitored via the net stable funding
ratio (NSFR), which stood at 121.4% (123.7%). The availability
of funding remained good throughout the year, and the
Group issued EUR 10,019 million (EUR 8,922 million) in
long-term funding.

Operational risks
At the beginning of 2025, monitoring and reporting methods
related to ICT risk management were adopted as part of
the DORA regulation that entered into force. The Group
carried out a broad reform of supplier management, in which
the Risk Management and Compliance function supports
the identification of risks related to suppliers, systems, and
services, and objectively assess the suppliers’ risk levels.
In addition, the role of risk management in overseeing
development and projects has been formalised.
MuniFin Group’s operational risks are estimated to be at
a moderate level, and there were no material losses from
operational risks in 2025.
ESG risks
ESG risks include environmental, social and governance risks.
As part of the Group’s ESG risk management, the Group’s
emissions reduction targets and related indicators are set out
in MuniFin’s sustainability programme and transition plan.
There have been no material changes in ESG risks during
the financial year. According to the Group’s assessment, its
exposure to climate and environmental risks is low. As per the
Group’s business model, customer receivables originate from
the Finnish municipal sector and wellbeing services counties
or from the State of Finland after credit mitigation (state
deficiency guarantee).
MuniFin Group recognises that its customers may be
exposed to both physical risk caused by climate change and
transition risk related to climate change mitigation. The Group
can also be exposed to these risks through its customers.
Identified risks are related to real estate collateral, but given
the existing guarantee arrangements, even the materialisation
of a climate or environmental risk is not expected to cause
final credit losses.
The Group’s investment counterparties are governments,
central banks, SSA sector entities and credit institutions.
According to the Group’s assessment, the impact of climate
and environmental risks on these operators for the Group is
minor. MuniFin Group only invests in counterparties whose
risks it considers to be low. This also applies to the Group’s
derivative counterparties.
According to the Group’s assessment, environmental and
climate risks are unlikely to manifest substantially in the short
term, but they may have an adverse economic effect on the
Group’s customers in the medium and long term. Although
the Group assesses its climate and environmental risks to
be low, it recognises that as climate change progresses, the
risks and uncertainty associated with it will increase. For this
reason, MuniFin Group assesses its exposure to climate and
environmental risks at least once a year.
In addition to climate and environmental risks, the Group
acknowledges that it may be exposed also to social and
governance risks through its own or its customers’ activities.
The probability of these risks materialising is nevertheless
considered low.
The Group monitors the governance of its customers and
investment counterparties through an ESG scoring model,
which it uses to evaluate their reported governance and
other ESG factors. The Group also monitors that its service
providers meet the minimum ESG requirements set for all
partners.

Governance
In addition to corporate legislation, MuniFin complies with
the governance requirements of the Finnish Act on Credit
Institutions and supervisory guidelines. The governance
policy is described in more detail on MuniFin’s website,
which also includes MuniFin’s Corporate Governance
Statement for 2025, pursuant to chapter 7, section 7 of the
Finnish Securities Market Act. The statement includes a
description of the main features of the internal audit and risk
management systems pertaining to the financial reporting
process. The statement also includes the governance
descriptions required by the Act on Credit Institutions as well
as information on how MuniFin complies with the Finnish
Corporate Governance Code for listed companies published
by the Finnish Securities Market Association. This code
applies to Finnish listed companies, i.e. companies whose
shares are listed on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd (Helsinki Stock
Exchange). Since MuniFin is exclusively an issuer of listed
bonds, and its shares are not subject to public trading, this
code does not apply directly to MuniFin.
No material changes to MuniFin Group’s governance took
place during the financial year.
Group structure
Municipality Finance Group (MuniFin Group or the Group)
consists of Municipality Finance Plc (MuniFin or the Parent
Company) and Kuntarahoituksen digitaaliset palvelut Oy.
The change of name of the subsidiary company Financial
Advisory Services Inspira Plc to Kuntarahoituksen digitaaliset
palvelut Oy was registered in early 2025. Kuntarahoituksen
digitaaliset palvelut Oy is fully owned by MuniFin. No changes
to the Group or ownership structure took place in the
reporting period.
General meeting
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of MuniFin was held
on 25 March 2025. The AGM confirmed the Financial
Statements for 2024 and discharged the members of the
Board of Directors, the CEO and the Deputy CEO from
liability for the financial year 2024. In addition, in accordance
with the proposal of the Board of Directors, the AGM
authorised a dividend of EUR 1.86 per share to be paid,
totalling EUR 72.7 million. The amount of distributable funds
on the Group’s balance sheet on 31 December 2024 was
EUR 373 million.
Based on the proposal of the Shareholders’ Nomination
Committee, the AGM decided to appoint nine Board members
for the 2025–2026 term, lasting from the 2025 AGM to the
end of the subsequent AGM. The AGM also confirmed the
Shareholders’ Nomination Committee’s proposal on the
remuneration of Board members.
In accordance with the Board’s proposal, the AGM elected
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy as MuniFin’s auditor, with
APA Jukka Paunonen as the principal auditor. The AGM
also elected PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy as MuniFin’s
sustainability reporting auditor, with Tiina Puukkoniemi as the
principal sustainability reporting auditor. However, the AGM
also noted that the European Commission proposed changes
to sustainability reporting requirements at the end of February
2025. If MuniFin is no longer required to report under the
amended legislation, MuniFin will also no longer be subject to
the sustainability reporting auditing requirement.
The AGM’s resolutions are published on MuniFin’s website.

Outlook for 2026
The euro area economic outlook for 2026 has strengthened
over the past six months. Despite uncertainties in global trade
and geopolitics, strong momentum in the service sectors has
kept unemployment low and private consumption on the rise.
The ECB’s interest rate cuts have also given investments a
tailwind, with activity turning towards an upward trend.
Even so, Europe’s economy is facing a multitude of risks.
The geopolitical environment remains unstable, and the
ultimate effects of Donald Trump’s trade policy are still highly
uncertain. The US economy is at something of a crossroads,
where a normal slowdown in growth could turn into a deeper-
than-expected downturn. China, in turn, is grappling with
increasingly severe structural challenges in its economy. In
addition to challenges in the external operating environment,
Europe is burdened by mounting public debt, a weak
competitive position in technological transitions and security
risks that are driving a much higher share of resources into
defence than before.
Euro area monetary policy is not expected to undergo any
major changes next year. Economic recovery is continuing
at a moderate – if uncertain – pace, with inflation returning
close to the ECB’s target. Markets are expecting the ECB’s
key interest rates to remain stable in 2026. Public projects
aimed at strengthening defence, security of supply and
infrastructure are increasing governments’ borrowing needs,
which may continue to exert some upward pressure on long-
term interest rates. A potential start to the reconstruction of
Ukraine would have a similar effect. As the cyclical recovery
continues, monetary policy may tighten moderately from
2027 onwards, a development that market interest rates may
begin to anticipate in 2026.
Finland’s economic turnaround has been slower than
expected, but 2026 is expected to bring more growth-
supporting factors. The decline in employment is expected to
halt and domestic consumption to pick up gradually. A further
growth boost is coming from green transition investment
projects and major cruise ship and icebreaker deals. At the
same time, public deficit is slowly coming down.
Despite municipalities’ determined fiscal adjustment
measures, their funding deficit is likely to grow considerably in
2026. Municipal finances are strained by central government
transfer cuts resulting from the balancing of health and social
services reform transfers, personnel costs increased by rises
in wages and the sizeable investment needs of larger cities.
High unemployment is also driving up employment-related
costs and putting a strain on tax revenues.
The housing market and construction sector remain weak
spots in the economy, likely to offer little lift in 2026. Privately
financed new construction is unlikely to pick up substantially,
as the number of vacant rentals and unsold homes remains
exceptionally high. State-subsidised housing production is
set to decline sharply due to a significant reduction in interest
subsidy loan authorisations.

MuniFin Group’s commission expenses may increase
significantly in 2026 based on the decision made in 2025 by
the Municipal Guarantee Board (MGB) to raise the guarantee
fee payable to the MGB. The guarantee fee is paid for
MuniFin’s funding that is guaranteed by the MGB. The MGB
has decided to increase the guarantee fee more than three
times calculated from the guaranteed funding.
The Group’s risk position is expected to remain stable. Also,
the Group expects its capital adequacy ratio and leverage
ratio to remain strong. The valuation principles set in the IFRS
framework may cause significant but temporary unrealised
fair value changes, some of which increase the volatility of net
operating profit and make it more difficult to estimate.
These estimates are based on a current assessment of the
development of MuniFin Group’s operations and the operating
environment.

The Board’s proposal concerning the use of the profit shown
in the balance sheet and the distribution of dividends
Municipality Finance Plc has distributable funds of EUR 374 million, of which the profit for the
financial year totalled EUR 73 million.
In accordance with the dividend policy ratified by the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in
March 2023, MuniFin aims to pay 30–60% of the Group’s financial year’s profit in dividends.
The Board of Directors proposes to the AGM that based on the confirmed balance sheet,
EUR 1.83 per share be paid in dividend, totalling EUR 71.5 million. This is 46.4% of the
Group’s financial year’s profit. The total dividend payment for the financial year 2024 was
EUR 72.7 million.
MuniFin’s result for the financial year was strong. The Board of Directors considers the
payment of the proposed dividend to be justified. MuniFin clearly exceeds all the prudential
requirements set for it. The Company’s financial position has remained strong after the end of
the financial year. According to the Board’s assessment, the proposed distribution of profits
does not place the fulfilment of the capital requirements or the company’s liquidity in jeopardy
or conflict with binding legislation.
MuniFin’s 2026 AGM is scheduled to be held on 26 March 2026. Dividends will be paid to
shareholders who are recorded in the Company’s list of shareholders on 30 March 2026.
The Board of Directors proposes that the dividends be paid on 9 April 2026 at the earliest.

MuniFin Group defines the Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) to be financial
measures that have not been defined in the IFRS standards or the capital requirements
regulation (CRD/CRR). The APMs improve comparability between companies in the same
sector and between reporting periods and provide valuable information to the readers of
the financial reports. The APMs provide a more consistent basis for comparing the results of
financial periods and for assessing MuniFin Group’s performance. They are also an important
aspect of the way in which the Group’s management defines operating targets and monitors
performance.
The APMs are presented in MuniFin Group’s financial reports in accordance with the
guidelines for Alternative Performance Measures issued by the European Securities and
Markets Authority (ESMA).

According to IFRS 9 standard, part of the Group’s
financial instruments are measured at fair value
through profit and loss which increases PnL
volatility. To enhance comparability of business
performance between periods and companies,
it is often necessary to exclude the PnL effect
of the unrealised fair value changes. Items in
the calculation formula are from Consolidated

Capital adequacy management principles
MuniFin Group’s objectives regarding equity in relation to
risk-taking and the operating environment are defined as part
of the annual planning. The planning horizon extends to at
least the following three years, in order to be able to predict
the business performance trend and the sufficiency of own
funds with respect to the increasing capital requirements
arising from changing regulation and to be able to react to
potential needs for additional capitalisation in sufficient time.
The Board of Directors approves the capital adequacy plan
and monitors it. The Group updates its capital adequacy
plan at least annually and follows implementation of the plan
semiannually.
The aim for the capital adequacy management is to monitor
the capital adequacy and to confirm that the Group’s capital
adequacy fulfills its targets and requirements set by financial
authorities to ensure continuity of the operations. Controlling
capital adequacy is continuous and an essential part of the
Group’s strategic planning process, which covers setting
strategic goals, specifying development projects and
making financial forecasts for the following years. This is
done in cooperation with management and the Board. The
Board of the Parent Company approves the final strategy.
Management ensures that the operative measures of the
Group correspond with the principles determined in the
strategy approved by the Board. As part of the annual
planning, the management prepares a business plan for the
coming year and business forecasts for the years that follow.
The Group’s risk position and its effect on the Group’s
financial status are also evaluated. Regular risk analyses as
well as various stress test scenarios are used for evaluating
and measuring risks. Based on these, the capital adequacy
plan is updated annually, and actions needed to strengthen
own funds are determined. The adequacy of own funds is also
monitored through monthly business analyses.
The Group calculates capital adequacy in accordance with
the EU Capital Requirements Regulation (EU No. 575/2013),
amended by CRR II (2019/876) and CRR III (2024/1623)
and the Capital Requirements Directive (2013/36/EU),
amended by CRD V (2019/878) and CRD VI (2024/1619).
Capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk are
calculated using the standardised approaches. In the
calculation of the capital requirement for operational risk,
the Group applies the so called PBA method (Prudential
Boundary Approach). In the capital calculation for market risk,
only foreign exchange risks are taken into account, as the
Group has no trading book or equity or commodity positions.
Foreign exchange risk is hedged by converting all funding and
investments denominated in foreign currencies into euros
through derivative contracts. All customer financing in the
Group is denominated in euros. The Group has no significant
open foreign currency positions. However, the collateral
management associated with the central counterparty
clearing of derivatives may result in temporary minor foreign
exchange risk. This risk is actively monitored and hedged.
Credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk is calculated using the
basic approach.
The credit ratings given by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s
Investor Service and Fitch Ratings are used for determining
the risk weights used in the capital adequacy calculations.
The aforementioned companies are credit rating institutions
approved by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority
for capital adequacy calculations. In capital adequacy
calculations for the credit risk, the Group uses methods
for reducing the credit risk such as guarantees provided
by municipalities as well as deficiency guarantees given by
the State of Finland. For derivatives, netting agreements,
collateral agreements (ISDA/Credit Support Annex) and
guarantees granted by the Municipal Guarantee Board (MGB)
are used for reducing the capital adequacy requirement
related to the counterparty risk of derivative counterparties.

(2024/1623) and Directive (2013/36/EU; CRD IV) amended by CRD V (2019/878) and CRD

Directive (2013/36/EU; CRD IV) amended by CRD V (2019/878) and CRD VI (2024/1619).
On 17 Dec 2025 (17 Dec 2024), the Board of Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA)
decided not to set countercyclical capital buffer requirement for credit exposures allocated
to Finland. The institution-specific countercyclical capital buffer requirement is determined
on the basis of the geographical distribution of the exposures. For MuniFin Group it is 1.11%
(1.04%).
3)
Other Systemically Important Institutions additional capital requirements: Act on Credit

EU; CRD IV) amended by CRD V (2019/878) and CRD VI (2024/1619). Additional capital
requirement (O-SII) for MuniFin Group is 0.5% (0.5%). The decision of the Board of FIN-FSA
on 26 Jun 2025, effective immediately.

Act on Credit Institutions (610/2014) Sect 10:6a § and the EU Capital Requirements
Regulation (575/2013; CRR) amended by CRR II (2019/876) and CRR III (2024/1623) and
Directive (2013/36/EU; CRD IV) amended by CRD V (2019/878) and CRD VI (2024/1619).
The FIN-FSA has imposed a requirement to maintain a systemic risk buffer (SyRB) covered
by CET1 capital and amounting to 1.0% on MuniFin. This requirement also applies to other
Finnish credit institutions at the same level. In its June 2025 decision, the FIN-FSA decided
to keep the SyRB requirement unchanged at 1.0% (effective from 1 July 2026).
In addition to the above, the ECB has imposed a bank-specific Pillar 2 Requirement (P2R)
of 2% on MuniFin Group as part of the annual Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process
(SREP). Including this P2R requirement, the total SREP capital requirement ratio (TSCR) was
10.0% (10.0%) at the end of December 2025. The minimum level of total capital ratio was
15.11% (15.04%) including P2R and other additional capital buffers.

by the external auditor, and therefore can be included in
CET1 capital on the basis of permission granted by the ECB
in accordance with the Capital Requirements Regulation.
Deductions due to prudential filters on CET1 capital are made
up of MuniFin’s debt value adjustment (DVA) and additional
valuation adjustment (AVA). In addition, the amount of
foreseeable dividend has been deducted from CET1 capital.
Change in own credit risk is not included in the own funds

The capital requirement for counterparty credit risk is
EUR 3,453 thousand (EUR 3,719 thousand).

When calculating thoute capital requirements for market
risk, only foreign exchange risk is taken into account as
the Group does not have a trading book nor share or
commodity positions. As foreign exchange risk is hedged
by swapping all currency denominated funding and
investments into euros, the Group’s foreign exchange
position is very small. On 31 December 2025, the FX net
position was EUR 12.0 million (EUR 10.4 million), which
is less than 2% of total own funds. There was no capital
requirement for market risk since the FX net position did not
exceed 2% of the total own funds (CRR 575/2013 Art. 351)
at the end of financial year or comparison period.

Guarantees granted by the Municipal Guarantee Board for
certain derivative counterparties are not taken into account
in credit valuation adjustment risk.

Notes to the Group's accounting policies and risk management
1. General information on the Group and
the basis of preparation
Municipality Finance Group (referred to as MuniFin Group or
the Group) consists of Municipality Finance Plc (referred to
as MuniFin or the Parent Company) and Kuntarahoituksen
digitaaliset palvelut Oy (referred to as Kuntarahoituksen
digitaaliset palvelut or the Subsidiary). The Group’s Parent
Company is a Finnish public limited liability company
established under Finnish legislation and domiciled in
Helsinki. Its registered address is Jaakonkatu 3 A, 00100
Helsinki. The Subsidiary’s domicile is Helsinki and registered
address Jaakonkatu 3 A, 00100 Helsinki. A copy of the
Consolidated Financial Statements is available online at www.
munifin.fi or from the Group’s Parent Company at Jaakonkatu
3 A, 00100 Helsinki.
MuniFin’s Board of Directors has approved these Financial
Statements for disclosure at its meeting on 11 February 2026.
According to the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act,
shareholders may accept or reject the Financial Statements
at the Annual General Meeting held after the publication. The
Annual General Meeting may also decide to alter the Financial
Statements.
MuniFin Group publishes the Financial Statements on its
website in a unified electronic reporting format (European
Single Electronic Format, ESEF) as an XHTML file in
connection with the publication of the Financial Statements.
These Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB (IFRS accounting
standards) and in compliance with IAS and IFRS accounting
standards and the SIC and IFRIC interpretations in force
on 31 December 2025. International Financial Reporting
Accounting Standards refer to the standards and their
interpretations approved for application in the EU in
accordance with the procedure stipulated in EU Regulation
(EC) No. 1606/2002 and embodied in the Finnish Accounting
Act and the decrees enacted under it. In addition, the Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements comply with
the requirements of the Finnish accounting and corporate
legislation complementing the IFRS requirements.
Capital adequacy information in compliance with Part Eight of
the EU Capital Requirements Regulation ((EU) No 575/2013)
and its amending regulations ((EU) No 876/2019) and ((EU)
No 1623/2024)) is presented in a Pillar III Disclosure Report
which is a separate, unaudited report from the Report of the
Board of Directors and the Financial Statements.
The functional currency of the Parent Company is euro. The
notes of the Financial Statements are presented in thousands
of euros. All figures in the notes have been rounded, so the
total of individual figures may differ from the total figure
presented. Operations of the Group are not subject to
seasonal variations.

Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
2. Basis of consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements encompass the
Financial Statements of MuniFin, the Parent Company, and
the Subsidiary Kuntarahoituksen digitaaliset palvelut Oy, in
which the Parent Company has control. MuniFin has control
over an investee if it is exposed or has rights to variable
returns from its involvement with the investee and has the
ability to affect those returns through its power over the
investee. Kuntarahoituksen digitaaliset palvelut is fully owned
by MuniFin and thus the control is based on votes. Intra-group
holdings have been eliminated by using the acquisition
method. Intra-group transactions, receivables, and liabilities
as well as distribution of profit have been eliminated in the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
3. Segment reporting
The Group’s line of business is credit institution operations
and providing financial services. The Group operates in a
single segment, which also forms the basis of reporting to
the Group’s chief operating decision maker and thus the
Groupdoes not disclose segment information defined in IFRS
8 Operating Segments standard. Group-level information
on products and services is presented in Notes 3 Interest
income and expense and 4 Fee and commission income and
expense. The Group has not broken-down income or assets
based on geographical areas due to operating in Finland only.
The Group regularly monitors the development of its lending
portfolio by customers and the proportion of interest paid by
each customer of the total interest income. The largest cities
measured by population and non-profit companies focused
on rental housing development are the largest borrowers.
There is no customer group that accumulates over 10% of the
Group’s total interest income. The chief operating decision
maker of the Group is the Chief Executive Officer of the
Parent Company as he is responsible for allocating resources
and assessing the performance of the Group.
4. Changes in accounting policies and the
presentation of financial disclosures
Changes in accounting policies - application of new and
amended standards
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared
in accordance with the same accounting policies as in 2024
except for those that are presented below.
The Group has applied the following amendments to existing
standards starting from 1 January 2025:
• Amendment to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign
Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability. An entity is
impacted by the amendments when it has a transaction or
an operation in a foreign currency that is not exchangeable
into another currency at a measurement date for a
specified purpose. Amendments were implemented by the
Group on 1 January 2025 but have not had any significant
impact on its financial statements.
Change in the presentation of the Consolidated statement
of financial position
During the financial year 2025, the Group has changed the
presentation of the Consolidated statement of financial
position. The Group’s management has concluded that by
combining cash together with central banks balances in their
own line in the balance sheet gives more useful information
to the user of the financial statements. In addition, current
tax assets are shown separately in the Consolidated
statement of financial position. The changes have been made
retrospectively to the opening balance sheet for comparative
year 2024 and to the year end of 2024.

Change in the presentation of the Consolidated
statement of cash flows
During the reporting period, the Group has changed the
presentation of Cash and cash equivalents. The Group’s
management has revisited the definition of cash and cash
equivalents and concluded that balances with central banks
should be included in cash and cash equivalents, as they are
overnight deposits which are used for the purpose of meeting
short-term cash commitments. Also, the interest proportions
of lease liabilities have been reclassified and will be presented
in line item Interest on liabilities. In addition, the presentation of
Net change in long-term loans, Other income and Payments of
operating expenses have been revised. These changes have
the following impact on the Consolidated statement of cash

Change in the presentation of the Consolidated
income statement and disclosures
The change in the presentation of central bank balances is
reflected to Note 3 Net interest income and expense where
interest income from overnight deposit is now presented
in row Cash and balances with central bank instead of row
Loans and advances to credit institutions. Interest income of
EUR 319,073 thousand in the comparison period has been
adjusted correspondingly. The change didn’t have an impact
on the Consolidated income statement.
During the financial year, the Group corrected the method
used to determine fair values of property lease receivables
that are not designated under hedge accounting. Fair
values are presented in Note 11 Financial assets and liabilities
and Note 12 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities.
Comparative figures were adjusted by EUR 39,481 thousand.
The change did not have an impact on the Consolidated
financial statement or on the Consolidated income statement.
During the financial year, MuniFin Group has changed the
presentation of lease liabilities so that lease liabilities will
no longer be presented in the Notes on financial liabilities,
except in Note 2 Risk management principles and the Group’s
risk position, section 5. Liquidity risks, where the maturity
breakdown of financial liabilities is presented. Lease liabilities
are presented in Note 30 Other liabilities, which provides
further information on the corresponding balance sheet
line item. The Notes to the comparison period have been
amended correspondingly, EUR 7,599 thousand has been
removed from the Notes that give information on financial
liabilities. The interest expense recognised on the lease
liability will henceforth be presented on the income statement
line item Other interest expense instead of line item Interest
expense at effective interest rate method. In Note 3 Net interest
income and expense this change is illustrated between
line items Other liabilities and Interest on non-financial
other liabilities. Interest expense of EUR 116 thousand on
lease liability in the comparison period has been adjusted
correspondingly.
5. New and amended standards and
interpretations not yet adopted
The Group has not yet adopted the following new and
amended standards and interpretations already issued by the
IASB. The Group will adopt them on their effective date or, if
the date is other than the first day of the financial year, from
the beginning of the subsequent financial year. Standards
that are relevant to MuniFin Group and published by IASB
that enter into effect on 1 January 2026 or after are described
below.
In April 2024, the IASB published the new standard IFRS 18
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which will
replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18
introduces a defined structure for the statement of profit or
loss and related disclosures. The standard requires entities
to present specified totals and subtotals for the statement
of profit or loss and to present management-defined
performance measures. The new standard will be effective
for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January
2027, including for interim financial statements. Retrospective
application is required. The Group estimates that IFRS 18
may transfer items between the different categories in the
income statement and changes in the aggregation and
disaggregation of items in the income statement and balance
sheet. In addition, the Group will publish management-defined
performance disclosures.
Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial instruments and IFRS 7
Financial instruments: Disclosures. In May 2024, the IASB
issued amendments that clarify and provide additional
guidance on identifying contractual terms of financial assets
and on assessing whether the cash flow characteristics of
financial assets represent solely payments of principal and
interest. The amendments to the disclosure standard relate
to financial instruments that have cash flow characteristics
linked to the achievement of certain environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) objectives. In addition, the amendments
clarify the recognition in the statement of financial position
and the timing of derecognition of certain financial assets
and liabilities when settlement is made through an electronic
cash transfer. The amendments are to be applied for financial
years beginning on or after 1 January 2026, with early
application permitted. Impact for the Group is estimated to be
insignificant.

6. Accounting policies requiring management
judgement and key uncertainty factors related to
estimates
In preparing the Financial Statements under IFRS accounting
standards, the Group’s management is required to make
certain estimates or use judgement in the application of the
accounting policies that affect the revenue, expenses, assets
and liabilities presented in the Financial Statements. Such
judgements and estimates are disclosed under Accounting
policies requiring management judgement and key uncertainty
factors related to estimates in each relevant note as following:
• Note 5 Net result on financial instruments at fair value
through profit or loss
• Note 9 Credit losses on financial assets recognised
at amortised cost and at fair value through other
comprehensive income
• Note 11 Financial assets and liabilities
• Note 12 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities
• Note 22 Credit risks of financial assets and other
commitments
7. Translation of foreign currency
denominated items
Transactions denominated in a foreign currency have been
recorded in euro, the Group’s Parent Company’s functional
currency, using the exchange rates of the transaction dates.
On the reporting date, monetary receivables and liabilities
denominated in a foreign currency have been translated into
euros using the European Central Bank’s average exchange
rate of that date. The resulting translation differences are
recorded in the income statement under Net result on financial
instruments at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value
changes of financial assets denominated in a foreign currency
and classified at fair value through other comprehensive
income are divided into translation differences arising from
changes to the amortised cost of the asset and other changes
in carrying amount. Translation differences related to changes
in amortised cost are recognised in the income statement,
while other changes in carrying amount are recognised in
other comprehensive income.

1. General risk management principles
MuniFin Group’s operations require sufficient risk
management mechanisms to ensure that the Group’s risk
positions remain within the limits set by Parent Company’s
Board of Directors. MuniFin Group applies very conservative
principles to its risk management. The aim is to keep the
Group’s overall risk profile at such a low level that the
MuniFin’s credit rating remains the best possible in relation to
the credit rating of the Finnish State.
The Group regularly surveys risks related to its operations and
continuously develops methods for recognising, measuring
and managing risks. Risks are assessed with regular risk
analyses. The aim of the analyses is to recognise the new
challenges and risks created by changes in the operating
environment and prioritise the risks and their management
on the basis of the results. The Group mitigates risks it has
identified with collateral, guarantees, derivative contracts,
insurance and active risk management. The Group assesses
the general wrong way risk (GWWR) related to derivative risks
as part of internal risk assessment and stress testing.
Note 2. Risk management principles and the Group’s risk position
The Board of Directors has ratified the Group’s Risk and Governance Framework and, as part of it, key policies and processes for
the effective implementation of internal control and risk management, as shown in the following table.

MuniFin Group’s Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) defines
target and maximum levels for risk indicators. The framework
is updated regularly, at least annually, and the Board of
Directors of the Parent Company approves the document.
RAF enables the Group to:
• Effectively identify, assess and manage the risks inherent in
its strategy as well as other internal and external business
risks.
• To assess how much and what kind of risk the Group can
and wants to take to implement its business strategy, and to
decide and actively communicate about this risk level.
• Promote sound discussions of MuniFin Group’s risk
appetite and enable challenging of business and risk-taking
decisions.
The Risk Appetite Framework is linked to both short-term
and long-term strategic planning, capital, financial and
liquidity plans, the recovery plan and the remuneration policy.
It is fully aligned with the ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy
Assessment Process) and the ILAAP (Internal Liquidity
Adequacy Assessment Process).
The Risk Appetite Framework is described in the adjacent
table. The Group has remained within the risk appetite set by
the Board of Directors during the financial year.

Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
There were no material changes in the Group’s risk appetite
during 2025. The Group’s risk position has remained stable
and at a moderate level. Based on the Group’s assessment,
risk management met the requirements set for it. The Group’s
risk position is reported at least monthly to the Board of
Directors, and, in addition, the Chief Risk Officer provides the
Risk Committee of the Board a quarterly extended risk review
of the Group’s risk positions.
MuniFin Group’s risk management and internal control
practices and processes are developed continuously. During
2025, the Risk Management and Compliance function
assessed the appropriateness of the Group’s key risk
management policies as part of its annual activities and made
proposals for necessary changes. In addition, the Group’s
risk appetite framework was updated, taking into account
changes in the operating environment.
The Group participated in 2025 in the ECB’s stress test (SSM
Stress Test) assessing the financial resilience of supervised
institutions, which covered the years 2025–2027. The capital
position of MuniFin Group remained strong even under the
adverse economic scenario of the stress test. In addition,
the Group developed its climate and environmental risk
management framework and ESG materiality analysis, for
example by introducing a climate stresstesting method in
the 2025 ICLAAP process and by enhancing emissions
calculation capabilities particularly in customer financing.
At the beginning of 2025, new monitoring and reporting
methods related to ICT risk management were introduced
as part of the DORA regulation that entered into force.
The Group carried out an extensive supplier management
reform, in which the risk management and compliance
functions support the identification of risks related to
suppliers, systems, and services, and independently assess
suppliers’ risk levels. In addition, the role of risk management
in the oversight of development and project activities is
standardised.
The continued geopolitical tensions and market volatility
did not affect the MuniFin Group’s performance during the
financial year. Credit risk spreads remained at a high level due
to an unusually high degree of market uncertainty in the SSA
(Sovereigns, Supranationals, Agencies) sector. Despite the
market volatility, the Group retained uninterrupted access
to capital markets and continued its funding operations
in the usual manner during the financial year. Because of
the uncertainties in the operating environment, the Group
has nevertheless maintained strong liquidity buffers as a
precaution. Geopolitical instability mainly affects the Group
indirectly through market conditions.
Unrealised fair value changes of financial instruments caused
some volatility of profits during the financial year. The Group
continuously monitors and analyses the volatility arising
from valuations and prepares for its potential profitability and
solvency impacts.
2. Organisation of risk management management
For the implementation of internal control framework, the
Group applies the three lines of defence model. MuniFin
Group has an extensive risk management organisation, which
covers all operations including the tasks and responsibilities
of different departments and decision-making bodies.
Internal control framework is supported by controls of
different processes. Internal control is implemented at all
levels organisational levels and by all employees, and the
internal control procedures are defined taking into account
the nature and scope of the operations. Internal control is
primarily carried out in line operations, where internal control
is continuous and part of day-to-day operations.

Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
The Board of Directors of the Parent Company is responsible
for the Group’s management and the proper arrangement of
its operations. The Board of Directors is responsible for the
duties specified for it in the Limited Liability Companies Act,
the Articles of Association and other legislative provisions
and regulations issued by the authorities. Duties and
principles of the Board of Directors are confirmed as part
of MuniFin’s Corporate Governance Policy and the Board’s
Rules of Procedure. The Corporate Governance Statement is
available on MuniFin’s website. The main duties of the Board
include confirming the Group’s strategy, annual operating
plan and budget, monitoring the Group’s financial situation
and ensuring through supervision that the management,
and risk management in particular, are properly arranged
by management. The Board of Directors also makes all the
far-reaching decisions related to the nature and scope of the
activities.
As requested by the regulation and in order to organise its
work as efficiently as possible, the Board has established
an Audit Committee, a Risk Committee, and a Remuneration
Committee for assistance and for the preparation of
matters. The Board may also establish other committees as
necessary.
The purpose of the Audit Committee, as a preparatory
body, is to assist the Board of Directors in duties related to
financial reporting and internal control. The Audit Committee
supervises work of the external and internal audit.
The Risk Committee assists the Board in the matters in
regard to the Group’s overall risk appetite and strategy, and
in overseeing that the management complies with the risk
strategy decided by the Board. The Risk Committee is to
estimate whether the prices for the services that tie up capital
correspond with the Group’s business model and risk strategy
and, in the event this is not the case, to present a remedy plan
to the Board. Furthermore, the Risk Committee shall assist
the Remuneration Committee in the establishment of sound
remuneration policies, and to assess whether the incentives
provided by the remuneration system take into consideration
the Group’s risks, capital and liquidity requirements, and the
likelihood and timing of the earnings.
The Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors is
responsible for preparatory work to assist in the Board’s
decision-making concerning the setting of objectives related
to the Group’s remuneration system, assessment of whether
the objectives are attained, development of the remuneration
system and the remuneration and other benefits for the CEO
and persons reporting to the CEO.
In the first line of defence, business units and support
functions have the ownership of material risk types and are
responsible for identifying, measuring, managing, monitoring
and reporting risks. The Group’s risk appetite, guidelines,
processes, controls and limits guide this work. All employees
who work in the first line of defence are responsible for the
risk management of their own work.
The second line of defence includes independent Risk
Management and Compliance functions. The Risk
Management supplements the business units’ work with
their independent supervisory and reporting responsibilities.
Independent Risk Management is responsible for continuous
development of risk management methods, risk-related
policies and processes, advice and information, the alignment
of risk strategy, risk limits and risk appetite as part of RAF,
as well as informing the EMT and the Board of Directors of
matters that may affect MuniFin’s risk profile or risk strategy.
The main responsibilities of the Compliance function
include ensuring compliance to regulations and internal
guidelines applicable to the Group, as well as reporting to the
management of the changes in the regulations affecting the
operations of MuniFin Group including their potential impact
on operational activities. In addition, the tasks include internal
communication, training and advice for the staff to ensure
compliance with the regulations and assessing internal
processes for ensuring compliance with the regulations.
In the third line of defence, an independent internal audit
regularly conducts risk-based audits in accordance with the
annual plan approved by the Board. The task of internal audit
is to conduct an independent review of the first two lines of
defence.

3. Stress testing
MuniFin Group constantly conducts stress testing related to
its business in accordance with the stress testing program
approved by the Board of Directors. The annual ICAAP
and ILAAP processes include stress testing on group-level
solvency and liquidity adequacy. Risk management,
independent of the Group’s business, is responsible for
designing stress scenarios in cooperation with business units.
The main objective of the stress testing conducted in 2025
was to analyse the development of MuniFin Group’s solvency
and profitability in 2025–2028. Business, market, credit and
operational risks and their estimated economic impact under
different circumstances were tested. In addition, the liquidity
adequacy of the Group was tested with several different
stress scenarios. As in previous years, the results of the stress
tests showed that with the current capital requirements, the
level of equity in the Group during the period under review
is sufficient even under very unfavourable conditions. In
addition, the Group’s total own funds also fulfilled the 3%
minimum leverage ratio requirement. In terms of liquidity,
stress tests showed that the liquidity of the Group is sufficient
even under very unfavourable conditions.
The Group participated in 2025 in the ECB’s stress test (SSM
Stress Test) assessing the financial resilience of supervised
institutions, which covered the years 2025–2027. The stress
test results were published at the beginning of August. The
capital position of the MuniFin Group remained strong even
under the adverse scenario of the stress test, and the Group’s
capital clearly exceeded the capital requirement set by the
test.
4. Strategic risks
Strategic risk means that MuniFin Group would choose a
wrong strategy for pursuing financially profitable operations
or that the Group would fail to adapt its strategy to changes in
the operating environment.
The management of strategic risks is based on continuous
monitoring and analyses of customers’ needs, forecasts of
market trends, and analyses of changes in the competition
and the operating environment. The Board assesses the
development of the Group’s operating environment and any
potential pressures for change and risks as part of the annual
strategy review. Based on this assessment, there was no
need to make significant changes to the Group’s strategy.
MuniFin’s core mandate is to ensure that its limited customer
base, which is assigned to carry out public duties, has
access to affordable financing under all market conditions,
meet customers’ financial needs responsibly and efficiently
and strive for the genuine, long-term benefit of the Group’s
customers. The strategy’s need for updating is evaluated
annually.
5. Liquidity risks
5.1 Refinancing and liquidity risk
Refinancing risk means the risk related to refinancing of the
loans. The Group manages refinancing risk by limiting the
average maturity of the financial assets and liabilities. The
financing gap is calculated as the difference between average
maturity of assets (customer financing and liquidity portfolio)
and the average maturity of liabilities (funding portfolio).
Liquidity risk means the risk of the Group not being able to
perform its payment obligations arising from settling financial
agreements or other financing activities on their due date. The
Group manages the liquidity risk by limiting the short-term
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio
(NSFR) and the survival horizon for the long-term liquidity.
In order to maintain its conservative liquidity and funding risk
profile as defined in RAF, MuniFin Group has identified several
sources of liquidity. Primary sources of liquidity are short-term
and long-term funding, liquidity portfolio, repo markets and
cash. Central Bank liquidity facility is a secondary source of
liquidity.
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
MuniFin Group follows the principle of prefunding and acquires its funding in the form of
short- and long-term funding. This is to ensure that adequate liquidity is available at any given
time and in all market conditions. For this purpose, the required minimum amount for the
liquidity portfolio is determined through scenario analyses to meet internal and regulatory
liquidity requirements. In the case that the Group needed to acquire additional liquidity, it
would first assess the availability of funding from the capital markets in the form of short-term
or long-term funding. If this is not available, the Group could utilise the liquidity portfolio as a
source of liquidity by selling assets or using them as collateral in the repo markets. MuniFin
Group has existing agreements in place with counterparties to enter into bilateral repurchase
agreements (repo agreements). These repo agreements could be used to cover funding
redemptions in the short term and to cover any unexpected changes in the liquidity position.
MuniFin Group regularly validates in accordance with the regulatory requirement the liquidity
of the liquidity portfolio by launching the short-term repo agreements.
A key aspect of the Group’s liquidity and funding risk management is the maintenance of a
well-balanced, low risk liquidity portfolio in the form of highly liquid assets. The overall liquidity
portfolio mainly consists of prefunding that is raised from the markets, but not yet utilised for
customer financing. In case of a sudden outflow of funds, the Group holds a liquidity portfolio
at such a level that its LCR and Survival Horizon have a sufficient buffer to continue normal
operations even under such conditions. The high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) defined in LCR
regulations
1
used to manage the Group’s liquidity are presented in the following table:
Liquid assets, HQLA

* Includes short-term customer financing granted as money market investments amounting to

Liquid assets include deposits with central banks (Note 15 Cash and cash equivalents),
receivables from the central bank (Note 16 Loans and advances to credit institutions), and debt
securities (Note 19 Debt securities). Debt securities pledged to the central counterparty are
not included in the debt securities (Note 34 Collateral given)

Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
The liquidity portfolio is divided into liquidity quality levels so
that level 1 ja 2a are considered high-quality liquid assets.
Assets on the liquidity level N are liquid in normal market
conditions (Other liquid assets).
The secondary source of liquidity is a public funding source
in the form of the existing Central Bank liquidity facility, which
is considered as an alternative, if primary sources were either
not sufficient, available in a timely manner or the cost of
using primary sources of liquidity were considered too high.
A significant part of loans granted by MuniFin Group to the
municipal sector are accepted as collateral for this facility and
the Group has pre-pledged part of the loan portfolio in order
to ensure access to this liquidity source at any time, if required
(Note 34 Collateral given). In addition, the Group is able to
increase the facility through pledging additional municipal
loans to the collateral pool. MuniFin’s Board of Directors
decides the maximum amount of pledged loans. The facility
is tested regularly to ensure that the liquidity is available
intraday, if needed.
Liquidity stress testing is a key tool used by MuniFin Group to
assess liquidity adequacy. The main objective is to determine
whether the Group has sufficient liquidity to continue its
normal business operations under both business-as-usual or
baseline scenario and stress scenarios.
The Group prepares, in connection with the business planning
process, a Liquidity and Funding plan (L&F plan). The plan is
approved by the Board of the Parent Company and reviewed
on a quarterly basis by the Risk Committee, which reports its
observations to the Board. The L&F plan and the quarterly
review of the plan include regular back testing. The L&F plan
is part of the Group’s ongoing Internal Liquidity Adequacy
Assessment Process (ILAAP) and it includes forecasting
and planning of funding and liquidity position. The L&F plan is
aligned with the ICAAP baseline scenario during the annual
business planning process. The plan aims at keeping the level
of the Group’s liquidity and funding within its risk appetite
defined by the Board. It also takes into account economic
perspective to ensure a sufficient long-term profitability for
the Group.
Within the ILAAP performed annually, the Group assesses
the adequacy of its liquidity resources to cover the forecast
liquidity needs under the business-as-usual and stress
scenarios. ILAAP is an integral part of the Group’s risk
management framework that includes other strategic
processes such as RAF, ICAAP, Recovery Plan and
remuneration framework. RAF formalises the interplay
between these processes. Stress tests are required to
assess the Group’s liquidity adequacy in a comprehensive,
integrated and forward-looking manner. ILAAP consists of a
baseline scenario and adverse scenarios and is for the most
part aligned with the ICAAP baseline scenario.
The Group aims to maintain strong credit ratings in all market
conditions to be able to execute its funding plan in an efficient
and cost-efficient manner. To support the cost efficiency
and quick execution, the Group has in place debt issuance
programmes of standardised templates. Standardised
programmes provide the Group flexibility and ease of
execution. Furthermore, MuniFin Group uses bilateral loan
documentation with some funding counterparties. All long-
term funding issued by MuniFin is explicitly guaranteed by the
Municipal Guarantee Board (MGB).
Funding concentration risk refers to the risk that the Group
is overly dependent on funding from a limited number of
products, markets, geographical area, investors or maturities.
To mitigate the risk, MuniFin Group ensures the funding
diversification across various products, markets, maturities
and investor type and by not placing too much reliance on
any single funding source. MuniFin Group aims to keep this
mix relatively stable, with the goal being to ensure continuity
of funding while simultaneously avoiding overreliance on any
specific market. To maintain access to diversified funding
sources, the Group aims to maintain its good relationship
with investors and arranging banks and to actively seek new
potential markets and investors. The diversification of the
Group’s funding requirements is set out and planned for in
detail through the annual L&F plan.

The Group hedges all of its funding to floating rate euros.
In addition, almost all lending is hedged to floating rates.
The Group has the option to leave part of the fixed-rate or
long-term reference rate-linked investment or loan exposures
(so-called strategic mismatch portfolio) unhedged to stabilise
the result when implementing the interest rate risk strategy.
The interest cash flows of derivative receivables and liabilities
are presented on a net basis for those derivative contracts
where the counterparty is a central counterparty. For other
counterparties, the interest cash flows are presented on a
gross basis. The interest cash flows in the previous table
have been calculated using exchange rates and interest rates
prevailing at the balance sheet date. Future interest rates for
floating rate legs are based on forward curves. Derivatives
containing call option are shown in the table in the maturity
bucket during which the derivative can be called on the next
call date.
5.2 Market liquidity risk
Market liquidity risk means that the Group would fail to realise
or cover its position at the market price, because the market
lacks depth or is not functioning due to a disruption.
The Group monitors the liquidity of markets and products on
a continuous basis. In addition, established market standards
are observed when derivative contracts are transacted.
Almost all market values of debt securities valued at fair
value are calculated based on quotations received from the
market. For the remaining debt securities, the market value
is calculated using other market information. The valuation
techniques and valuation inputs are described in more detail
in Note 12 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities.
The funding strategy relies on wide diversification into
multiple currencies, maturities, geographical areas and
investor groups to secure access to funding under all market
conditions. The strategy of MuniFin Group has proved highly
successful during the upheaval of monetary and security
policies of several years: the Group had strong access to
capital markets throughout the year.
6. Credit and counterparty credit risk
Credit risk means the risk of a counterparty defaulting on its
commitments to the Group. Credit risk has been identified as
a material risk in the RAF but is mitigated by loan guarantees
and/or collaterals as well as the fact that MuniFin only
finances public-sector or social housing entities with a zero-
percent risk weighting. Customer financing is one source
of credit risk, but credit risk can also arise from other types
of receivables, such as bonds, short-term debt instruments
and derivative contracts as well as off-balance sheet items
such as unused credit facilities, limits and guarantees. In
addition, geographical concentration and settlement risks are
considered as credit risks.

The Act on the Municipal Guarantee Board (MGB Act) defines
for which MuniFin’s funding guaranteed by the Municipal
Guarantee Board (MGB) can be used and it can also be
considered as a credit risk management tool. The MGB is an
institution governed by the public law. The MGB can grant
guarantees to the funding of credit institutions controlled or
owned directly or indirectly by municipalities or wellbeing
services counties if the funding is used for financing of
municipalities, joint municipal authorities, wellbeing services
counties or joint wellbeing services county authorities as well
as entities wholly owned by the aforementioned entities or
controlled by them, in addition to non-profit corporations and
other non-profit entities nominated by the Centre for State-
subsidised Housing Construction (Varke). All funding issued
by MuniFin has a MGB guarantee. In addition, MuniFin has
guarantees granted by the MGB to mitigate the counterparty
credit risk of some derivative counterparties.
In addition to the MGB Act, a material credit risk management
principle is that all customer financing and derivatives offered
to customers have to obtain the so-called zero risk-weight in
MuniFin Group’s capital adequacy calculation. As a business
model, this zero risk requirement for all customer financing
is different from those of other credit institutions and the
credit risk principles inherent and required in their credit risk
policies. MuniFin Group’s credit risk policy and credit risk
management practices rely significantly on this principle.
MuniFin’s customers consist of municipalities, joint municipal
authorities and municipality-controlled entities, wellbeing
services counties and joint county authorities for wellbeing
services, other units of wellbeing services counties that are
wholly owned or under control of wellbeing services county
administration and wellbeing services enterprises, as well as
non-profit corporations and other non-profit organisations
nominated by the Centre for State-subsidised Housing
Construction (Varke). MuniFin Group may only grant loans
and leasing financing without a separate security directly to
a municipality, joint municipal authority, wellbeing services
county or joint county authority for wellbeing services. For
others, loans must be secured with an absolute guarantee
issued by a municipality, joint municipal authority, wellbeing
services county or joint county authority for wellbeing
services, or a real estate collateral and a state deficiency
guarantee. The guarantee or guarantee together with a real
estate collateral has to fully cover the financing provided.
Guarantees and the fair value of collateral received are also
taken into account in the calculation of expected credit
losses. The Group does not bear the residual value risk for
the objects of its leasing services. MuniFin Group has not had
credit losses from the financing of its customers after the
realisation of any real estate collateral and guarantees have
taken place.
Municipal customers are divided into three sectors:
municipalities, joint municipal authorities and municipal
companies. By law, a Finnish municipality cannot default
(Bankruptcy Act 120/2004). Municipalities have an unlimited
right to increase local income tax rates and due to this,
together with other elements of autonomy, the Finnish
municipal sector has, similar to sovereigns, a zero credit risk
weighting in capital adequacy calculation of credit institutions.
Finnish municipalities and cities can also establish joint
municipal authorities to provide services that they are legally
required to provide for their citizens or undertake regional
development activities. Municipalities are jointly members
of these joint municipal authorities and are commonly
responsible for their funding and other liabilities. All loans
to municipal companies are guaranteed by municipalities
(or joint municipal authorities). Thus, there is always a
municipality, that cannot default by law, to carry the risk of
default. When a loan has a 100% absolute guarantee from a
municipality or a joint municipal authority, MuniFin Group can
apply for payment directly from the guarantor in accordance
with the terms of the loan. The guarantor is committed based
on the guarantee commitment to pay the interest and other
ancillary costs in addition to the principal.

The new wellbeing services counties began their operations
in the beginning of 2023. The operative work of the wellbeing
services counties is being largely funded by the central
government, but the counties have government authorisation
to acquire long-term funding for their investments. The
counties can also independently seek short-term funding. In
terms of financing, MuniFin may continue to act as a lender
and counterparty to the loans and other liabilities that were
transferred to the counties at the start of 2023. The Act
on the Municipal Guarantee Board allows MuniFin to also
finance new investments and other new financing needs by
the wellbeing services counties. According to the Finnish
Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) decision that like
the central government and municipalities, wellbeing services
counties will also fall in the zero-risk category in the capital
adequacy regulation of credit institutions. This decision
simplified the counties’ financing arrangements because it
means that government guarantees are not required.
At this stage, wellbeing services counties are not liable for
the guarantees for MuniFin’s funding used for wellbeing
services counties’ financing, because unlike municipalities,
wellbeing services counties are not members of the
Municipal Guarantee Board (MGB). For this reason, the
MGB has decided to set an annual limit to the amount of new
financing MuniFin can grant to wellbeing services counties.
The MGB’s limit for MuniFin’s new long-term financing
to wellbeing services counties was EUR 400 million in
2025 (EUR 400 million). The MGB’s limit for MuniFin’s new
short-term financing to wellbeing services counties, i.e.
commercial papers to wellbeing services counties, was EUR
900 million in 2025 (EUR 900 million). The limits for 2026 are
the same as in 2025.
The housing customer group consists of different types
of housing institutions: institutions owned or controlled
by municipalities (or joint municipal authorities) and state-
subsidised housing institutions and also companies that are
wholly owned or under control of wellbeing services counties
or joint county authorities for wellbeing services. Loans for
housing companies owned by municipalities or joint municipal
authorities are guaranteed by municipalities, or these loans
can also be categorised as state-subsidised housing loans.
In such cases there is a real estate collateral and a deficiency
guarantee from the State of Finland. State-subsidised
housing institutions are defined as corporations designated
by state authority and engaged in the renting or production
and maintenance of housing, or corporations controlled
by them. Housing companies are designated by Varke, the
Centre for State-subsidised Housing Construction operating
in connection with the Ministry of the Environment. The
functions of ARA, the Housing Finance and Development
Centre, ended as an independent agency at the end of
February 2025, and were transferred at the beginning of
March 2025 to become part of Varke. The change was related
to the development of the administration of state-subsidised
housing production. The reform had no impact on the Group’s
business operations.
Loans for housing companies have a deficiency guarantee
from the State of Finland that covers the residual risk over the
collateral value of the respective property. When a loan has a
deficiency guarantee by the State of Finland, primary pledge
of mortgage collateral is mainly required unless the loan is a
state-subsidised housing loan granted for a municipality or
a joint municipal authority in which case there is no collateral
required by law. The amount of the primary pledge must be
at least 1.3 times the amount of the loan. Under deficiency
guarantee, the State of Finland is responsible for the primary
debt in respect of the part that is not covered from the
liquidation of the mortgage collateral.
Despite MuniFin Group’s business model, which is based
on zero risk-weighting customers, the Group has a risk
rating system for all customers, which assigns a risk score
to the customer as part of the credit granting process. In
addition, independent Risk Management prepares an annual
analysis of all customers, which identifies their respective
risk rating. The annual analysis and update of the risk rating
is based on the financial statements, the report of the board
of directors and other available information. The analysis
takes into account the environmental, social and governance
risks (ESG) insofar as information about the customer is
available for assessment. The assessment highlights the
potential impacts of climate and environmental risks, which
may materialise to customers either directly as physical
risks or as transition risks related to preparing for climate
change. The customer’s risk rating will affect the need for
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
further analysis of the customer in the process of granting
financing, the financing decisions, decision-making power
inside the Group and possibly also the pricing. The Group
has customer-specific credit limits in use. In addition,
MuniFin Group calculates the loan-to-value (LT V) ratio for its
loans with real estate collateral and regularly monitors the
development of LTVs.
The following table shows the risk rating (of which risk rating
5 represents the best creditworthiness) distribution of the
Group’s customer financing in relation to total capital, which
includes lending, leased assets, municipal certificates and
off-balance sheet credit commitments.
Risk rating 31 Dec 2025 31 Dec 2024
5 11.6% 15.1%

3 28.1% 30.1%
2 18.1% 20.8%
1 3.4% 1.9%
Tot al 100.0% 100.0%
In addition to the above mentioned, the Group’s credit risk
management is based on proactive customer relationship
management, customer knowledge (KYC), careful selection
of counterparties, credit rating and volume limits for
counterparties, trustworthy and professional staff, decision-
making powers, comprehensive documentation and ongoing
internal monitoring and reporting.
The Group defines non-performing exposures (NPE) as
receivables that fulfil at least one of the criteria below:
• Significant receivables past due more than 90 days
• MuniFin Group’s Credit Group’s (customer financing) or
Capital Markets and Sustainability Management Team’s
(liquidity portfolio) assessment that it is probable that
the debtor is not likely to pay its obligation in full without
realisation of the collateral, regardless of whether there
have been any delays in payments or how many days the
payments have been past due.
Non-performing exposures are treated as stage 3 receivables
in the calculation of expected credit losses.
Forborne exposures include exposures that have been
renegotiated due to the customer’s financial difficulties.
Details about the principles applied to forborne and modified
exposures are described in Note 22 Credit risks of financial
assets and other commitments in Section Forborne and
modified loans. The non-performing and forborne exposures
are disclosed in the same Note in table Non-performing and
forborne exposures.
Impairments for loans and other financial assets, which are
classified according to IFRS 9 as amortised cost (AC) or fair
value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), are
measured using the expected credit loss model under IFRS
9 standard. In addition, lease agreements and off-balance
sheet credit commitments are subject to expected credit loss
calculation due to the credit risk involved in the contracts.
The methods used for calculating expected credit losses
are described in Note 22 Credit risks of financial assets and
other commitments. Quantitative information on the Group’s
expected credit losses and their development during the
financial year is presented in Notes 9 Credit losses on financial
assets recognised at amortised cost and at fair value through
comprehensive income and 22 Credit risks of financial assets
and other commitments.

The amount of the Group’s expected credit losses in relation
to the Group’s statement of financial position is very low,
0.007% (0.005%). Expected credit losses in relation to the
total assets and commitments included in the calculations
are 0.007% (0.005%). The amount of expected credit losses
is materially influenced by the Group’s conservative risk
management principles, in particular the guarantees and
collaterals received by the Group, as well as the customer
base and the high credit ratings of counterparties.
During the financial year 2025, MuniFin Group updated the
macroeconomic scenarios quarterly to take into account
forward-looking information.
The Group has assessed the need of additional discretionary
provision related to expected credit losses. At the end of
December 2024, the Group’s management reassessed the
need for an additional discretionary provision based on a
group-level assessment and decided to release the additional
provision. It was assessed that the update to the model used
in estimating the probability of default — and the resulting
increase in expected credit losses and stage transfers
— already captured the need previously covered by the
additional provision for receivables with significant increase
in credit risk. However, the Group also assessed at that time
that some customers may continue to face challenges with
cashflow sufficiency during 2025, which may be seen as
increased payment delays and loan forbearance measures
for MuniFin Group.
In June 2025, while the annual credit rating process was still
ongoing, the Group’s management assessed that despite
the decline in interest rates, some customers in the housing
sector were still experiencing difficulties with cashflow
sufficiency due to factors such as oversupply and higher
vacancy rates of the premises. The Group’s management
decided to make an additional discretionary provision of
EUR 130 thousand based on a group-level assessment.
At the end of December 2025, the Group’s management
reassessed the need for an additional discretionary provision
and decided to release the earlier group-level provision and
record a new additional discretionary provision of EUR 242
thousand. The decision was based on the completion of
the 2025 credit rating updates and the assessment formed
regarding the customers’ cashflow sufficiency for 2026. The
change in the additional discretionary provision was also
influenced by the update to the probability of default matrices
used in estimating default risk.
MuniFin Group is also exposed to credit risk from its liquidity
portfolio investments and derivative instruments. In selecting
counterparties, MuniFin evaluates credit risk with principles
and limits, approved by the Parent Company’s Board of
Directors, based on external credit ratings. The credit rating of
investments is one of the key indicators used by the Group to
make investment decisions concerning its liquidity portfolio.
Nominal values of debt securities and equivalent credit values
of derivatives (fair value method) are used in monitoring credit
risk. Counterparties are also regularly subject to an internal
risk assessment, which assesses economic and qualitative
factors as well as ESG risks by comparing the individual
issuer’s ESG score with the reference value of the general
market index for the asset class.

The Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) that measures
counterparty credit risk and MuniFin Group’s own Debt
Valuation Adjustment (DVA) are both taken into account
when calculating credit risk exposures arising from derivative
counterparties. The CVA is estimated for each derivative
counterparty by calculating the Group’s expected positive
exposure throughout the maturity of the derivative portfolio,
taking into account the probability of default and the
estimated amount of loss in the possible event of default.
Input data for the calculation is based on the terms of
CSA agreements, generally accepted assumptions in the
markets on the loss given default and expected probabilities
calculated based on credit default swaps (CDS). Similarly, the
DVA is determined on the basis of MuniFin Group’s expected
negative exposures, taking into account the probability of
MuniFin’s own default and the loss given default. In addition,
the Group calculates Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA)
for those derivative contracts that do not hold cash collateral
arrangements (derivatives made with MuniFin Group’s
customers).
MuniFin Group uses central counterparties (CCPs) in the
clearing of standard over-the-counter (OTC) derivative
contracts, as required by the European Markets Infrastructure
Regulation (EMIR). In this model, at the end of a clearing
process, a CCP becomes the counterparty to each cleared
trade. The purpose of CCP clearing is to reduce counterparty
risk. Two global banks provide clearing broker services to
the Group. The variation margin of the derivatives with the
CCPs is based on the daily margining of the cash collateral
(Collateralised-to-Market, CTM). MuniFin uses CCPs also for
the securities collaterals when changing the initial margin.
Since 2022, MuniFin has had the readiness to exchange
initial margins of bilateral derivative contracts with securities
collateral. So far, the initial margin has not been exchanged
with securities, as the threshold values defined in the
regulations have not been met.
During early 2025, the Group prepared for the new EMIR 3.0
(European Market Infrastructure Regulation). The regulatory
package introduced new requirements for participants
operating in the derivatives markets. EMIR 3.0 requires
market participants to have an “active account” with a central
counterparty located in the EU, and to clear a portion of their
euro-denominated interest rate swaps through an EU-based
central counterparty. MuniFin has established the capability
to clear euro-denominated interest rate swaps at the euro
area central counterparty EUREX Clearing AG, and the first
clearings were successfully executed in June.
MuniFin Group may also be exposed to settlement risks in the
course of its operations in respect to issued bonds, customer
financing, liquidity portfolio investments or derivative
transactions. The Group’s customer financing transactions
are dependent on the operations of domestic payment banks
and similarly the capital market transactions are dependent
on the operations of the Group’s international payment banks
and clearing parties. In order to minimise the credit risk
associated with clearing and settlement, transactions are in
principle carried out through delivery against payment.
Taking into account the nature of MuniFin Group’s business
model, the Group has acknowledged risk concentration
in customer financing in i.e. geographical areas (locally),
customer types (municipality sector, state-subsidised
housing production) and collaterals (mortgages). The
Group’s largest subportfolio in the customer financing
is for municipality sector. This risk concentration on the
municipality sector is unavoidable and inherent to MuniFin’s
business model. In addition, a considerable portion of
the exposure to customers is indirectly related to Finnish
sovereign risk due to the deficiency guarantee in loan
arrangements for the state-subsidised housing production.
This is inextricably linked to MuniFin’s business model and to
its place in the Finnish social system.
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Furthermore, MuniFin has been established specifically
to finance the municipal sector and social housing and
its operations are limited by the MGB Act. Therefore, the
concentration risk inherent in the business model cannot be
significantly modified. On the other hand, all of the Group’s
receivables are in the zero risk weight class in capital
adequacy calculations and therefore the concentration risk
is acceptable considering the Group’s business model and
in line with the Group’s business strategy. In addition, in the
calculation of large exposures, all receivables from customers
are zero after mitigation techniques. Due to these factors,
the Group accepts the concentration risk in its customer
financing as inherent to its business model.
Concentration risk is also inherent in the liquidity portfolio
due to investments being made in a narrow selection of
high-quality liquid assets. The following table presents the
geographical distribution of the liquidity portfolio investments.
Country/counterparty 31 Dec 2025 31 Dec 2024

7. Market risk
Market risk is the risk of the Group incurring a loss as a result
of an unfavourable change in market price or its volatility.
MuniFin Group has identified under RAF the following
sources of material market risks: Interest rate risk (Interest
Rate Risk in the Banking Book, IRRBB), FX risk and CSRBB
risk (Credit Spread Risk in the Banking Book) as well as fair
valuation risk.
The Group hedges its market risk with derivative contracts.
Derivative contracts may only be used for hedging
purposes. The Group applies fair value hedge accounting
in accordance with IFRS 9 and IAS 39 standards. Fair value
hedge accounting is applied to euro-denominated financial
assets and liabilities, as well as lease receivables, where
the interest rate of the hedged item has been converted
to a variable rate with a derivative, and to fixed-rate foreign
currency-denominated financial liabilities, where the principal
of the hedged item is converted to euros and its interest rate
changed to a variable rate with a derivative agreement. The
application of hedge accounting is described in more detail
in Note 21 Hedge accounting and quantitative information on
current hedging relationships and their impact on earnings is
presented in the Notes 21 Hedge accounting and 5 Net result
on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group also makes use of the fair value option (FVO)
allowed by the IFRS 9 standard in hedging relationships that
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
are not in fair value hedge accounting and that eliminate or
significantly reduce valuation or accounting inconsistency
(accounting mismatch) or where the Group manages financial
liabilities and evaluates their performance based on fair value,
in accordance with the documented risk management or
investment strategy. For financial assets, such items include
liquidity portfolio debt securities and individual loans whose
interest rate risk and/or currency risk is hedged with interest
rate and currency derivatives. For financial liabilities, such
items include short-term foreign currency-denominated
commercial papers and financial liabilities to which IFRS 9 fair
value hedge accounting is not applied. The use of fair value
option is described in Note 11 Financial assets and liabilities.
Quantitative information of the use of fair value option is
presented in Note 5 Net result on financial instruments at fair
value through profit or loss and in Note 11 Financial assets and
liabilities.
7.1 Interest rate risk
MuniFin Group’s strategy for interest rate risk in the banking
book (IRRBB) is to ensure sustainable profitability regardless
of the level of interest rates. Therefore, the focus is to stabilise
earnings by minimising NII risk measure. Economic Value
of Equity (EVE) of interest rate sensitivity is a secondary
measure but also kept within risk appetite. All financial
instruments are included in the IRRBB and MuniFin Group
does not have a trading book. Interest rate risk arises mainly
from the difference in euribor rate terms between assets and
liabilities.
MuniFin Group manages the interest rate risk arising from its
business operations by means of derivative contracts. The
main principle for managing the Group’s interest rate risk
hedging is to utilise interest rate swaps to hedge fixed rate
exposures back-to-back to floating rate. The back-to-back
interest rate swaps (IRS) replicate all the details of the
underlying liability, asset or portfolio of assets to offset the risk
of the underlying transaction.
Primarily, the Group hedges long-term customer financing
linked to a fixed or long reference rate, fixed-rate investments
in the liquidity portfolio, and long-term funding with interest
rate derivatives, excluding short-term euro-denominated
variable-rate funding. Financial receivables in customer
financing and the liquidity portfolio linked to a short-term
variable rate or short-term euro-denominated debt
obligations are not hedged with derivatives.
However, given the strategy of earnings stabilisation, the
Group may decide on a strategic mismatch position, i.e.
leave fixed rate exposures unhedged in order to steer the
Group’s net interest income towards the objective of earnings
stabilisation. The strategic mismatch position is created
using assets only and includes both fixed and revisable rate
loans as well as fixed rate investments in the liquidity portfolio.
Derivatives are not used in the creation of the strategic
mismatch.

7.1.1 NII risk
NII risk refers to the negative impact of interest rate changes on the Group’s net interest
income. Sensitivity of the interest rate risk has been measured by 50 basis points change
either up or down. The impact is examined in relation to the Group’s own funds. The Group
measures the NII risk both with and without the zero floor option. The following table takes into
account the zero floor option in the loans.

* Own funds correspond to own funds in regulatory capital.
In addition, the Group measures the NII risk with the following scenarios:
1. Parallel shock up (+50 bp)
2. Parallel shock up (+200bp)
3. Parallel shock down (-50 bp)
4. Parallel shock down (-200bp)
5. Steepener shock (short rates down and long rates up)
6. Flattener shock (short rates up and long rates down)
7. Short rates shock up
8. Short rates shock down.
9. Supervisory Outlier Test (SOT), parallel shock up (+200 bp)
10. Supervisory Outlier Test (SOT), parallel shock down (-200 bp)
From these scenarios, at the end of 2025 the least favourable scenario was based on the
assumption of the short rates shock up, which had an impact of EUR -38.5 million on net
interest income and 2.3% in relation to own funds. At the end of 2024, the most unfavourable
scenario was the short rates shock up, which had an impact of EUR -44.4 million on net
interest income and 2.7% in relation to own funds.

7.1.2 Economic Value of Equity
Economic Value of Equity (EVE) describes the interest rate sensitivity of the present value
of the statement of financial position. It is measured by calculating the change in the present
value of interest rate sensitive cash flows for different interest rate curve changes. Several
interest rate scenarios are used to measure interest rate risk, the most unfavourable one
being considered and its impact on future net interest income, and consequently, partly on
equity, is presented in the table below. The impact will be examined in relation to the Group’s
total own funds. The Group measures the Economic Value of Equity both with and without
the zero floor option. The following table below takes into account the zero floor option in the
loans.

The following scenarios are used in calculating the EVE:
1. Parallel shock up (+50 bp)
2. Parallel shock up (+200bp)
3. Parallel shock down (-50 bp)
4. Parallel shock down (-200bp)
5. Steepener shock (short rates down and long rates up)
6. Flattener shock (short rates up and long rates down)
7. Short rates shock up
8. Short rates shock down.
When calculating EVE at the end of 2025, the most unfavourable scenario was the parallel
shock up of 200 basis points, which had an impact of EUR -133.6 million and 7.8% in relation
to own funds. At the end of 2024, the most unfavourable scenario was the parallel shock up of
200 basis points, which had an impact of EUR -120.2 million and 7.3% in relation to own funds.

7.1.3 Basis risk
The basis risk measure captures interest rate risk that results from narrowing or widening of
tenor basis swap spreads. The impact is examined in relation to the Group’s own funds. The
figures below take into account the zero floor option in the loans.
Basis risk
(EUR 1,000) Impact
In relation
to own funds*
31 Dec 2025 -6,334 0.4%
31 Dec 2024 -9,136 0.6%
* Own funds correspond to own funds in regulatory capital.
The worst of four scenarios is used to measure basis risk:
• Narrowing basis swap spreads scenario
(€STR vs. 3-month Euribor and 3-month vs. 6-month Euribor)
• Widening basis swap spreads scenario
(€STR vs. 3-month Euribor and 3-month vs. 6-month Euribor)
When calculating basis risk at the end of 2025, the most adverse scenario was a narrowing
basis swap spreads scenario (3-month vs. 6-month Euribor), totalling EUR -6.3 milion, which
was 0.4% relative to the own funds. At the end of 2024, the most adverse scenario was a
narrowing basis swap spreads scenario (3-month vs. 6-month Euribor), totalling EUR -9.1
million, which was 0.6% relative to the own funds.
7.2 FX risk
MuniFin Group’s FX risk strategy is in line with its conservative market risk management.
The Group does not bear any material foreign exchange risk. The Group’s lending and
other customer finance items are denominated in euros. FX risk is hedged by translating all
foreign currency denominated funding and liquidity investments into euros using derivatives.
However, due to currency-denominated collateral management (USD) related to Central
Counterparty clearing (CCP) activities, the Group may temporarily incur minor FX risk.
The functionality of the cross-currency derivative markets is always assessed before entering
into new funding or liquidity investments in order to ensure that currency hedges can be
put in place according to hedging strategy in order to hedge all transactions back to euros.
Furthermore, all foreign currency denominated funding transactions with early call options are
hedged fully for potential call situations.
The currency position in the following table is reported as the difference between assets
and liabilities in different currencies, expressed in euros. MuniFin Group estimates that a
reasonable change in currency pairs will not have a significant impact on the Group’s results.

7.3 CSRBB risk
CSRBB risk (Credit Spread Risk in the Banking Book) refers
to the possibility of changes in the market values of the
prefunding liquidity investments due to a change in the
market’s required return as a consequence of a change in the
investment’s risk or in the market’s risk sensitivity. The main
principle in portfolio management is to guarantee a sufficient
amount of earnings within the liquidity requirements, such as
LCR, NSFR and Survival horizon.

7.4 Fair valuation risk
MuniFin Group has identified fair valuation risk as a material
risk for its operations. Unrealised fair value changes of
financial instruments increase the volatility of profits.
In addition to the profit, the Group’s own funds are also
affected by valuations measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income (OCI). The classification and
measurement of financial instruments is described in more
detail in Note 11 Financial assets and liabilities.
The volatility of the fair valued instruments arises from
changes in market risk factors, such as tenor basis spreads as
the spread between different interest rate curves changes. In
accordance with the market practice and IFRS 13 standard,
the Group discounts the financial assets and liabilities
measured at fair value and the hedged items with the swap
curve and the hedging derivatives with the OIS curve, which
causes a significant part of the Group’s valuation volatility.
The unrealised fair value changes of financial instruments are
recorded in the income statement under line item Net result on
financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and they
are specified in Note 5. In addition, the unrealised fair values of
financial instruments in hedge accounting (both hedged items
and hedging instruments) are recorded under line item Net
result on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss
and specified in Note 5. The Group continuously monitors and
analyses the volatility arising from valuations and prepares for
its potential profitability and solvency impacts. A sensitivity
analysis related to valuations is presented in Note 12 Fair
values of financial assets and liabilities.
During the reporting period, unrealised fair value changes of
financial instruments caused earnings volatility for the Group.
Unrealised fair value changes were influenced in particular by
changes in interest rate expectations and credit risk spreads
in the Group’s main funding markets. The Group continuously
monitors and analyses the volatility arising from valuations
and prepares for any impacts this may have on its profit and
capital adequacy.

8. Operational risks
Operational risk refers to the risk of financial loss due to
insufficient or failed internal processes, insufficient or
failed policies, systems or external factors. Operational
risks also include risks arising from failure to comply with
internal and external regulation (compliance risk) and legal
risks. Operational risks may result in expenses, payable
compensation, loss of reputation, false information on
position, risk and financial results or the interruption of
operations.
Operational risks are recognised as part of the Group’s
operations and processes. This has been implemented
with an annual mapping of operational risk, which is carried
out by units through a self-assessment. The operational
risk management is the responsibility of each division and
unit. In addition, the Risk Management and Compliance
division supports the other divisions and units and has the
responsibility for coordinating the management of operational
risks.
MuniFin Group uses various methods for managing
operational risks. The Group has internal policies approved
by the Board and supplementing internal guidelines approved
by the management in order to guide operations. Operational
risks are also covered by the RAF approved by the Board of
Directors of the Parent Company. Key duties and processes
have been charted and described. Internal instructions and
processes are updated on a regular basis, and compliance
with them is supervised. The tasks related to business
activities, risk control and accounting are separated. The
Group has adequate substitution systems to ensure the
continuity of key functions. The expertise of the personnel
is maintained and developed through regular development
discussions and training plans. The Group has a contingency
plan for situations in which business and IT operations are
interrupted. The plan is designed to ensure that the Group is
able to continue functioning and to limit its losses in different
disruptive scenarios. The annual mapping of operational
risks and the operational risk event report process support
the Group’s continuity planning. In addition, the Group has
insurance policies related to its operations and the level of the
insurance coverage is assessed on a regular basis.
MuniFin Group’s Compliance continuously monitors the
development of legislation and regulations issued by
authorities relevant to the Group’s operations and ensures
that any regulatory changes are appropriately responded to.
The legislation and regulations concerning the operations of
credit institutions have faced significant changes during the
past few years and will continue to change in the future, which
creates challenges for the Group’s compliance. The Group
has tried to minimise the risks related to this with an active
contact with the authorities and interest groups as well as with
organisation of the Group’s internal Compliance (incl. system
support, evaluation of effects, reporting and implementation).
The Group has significant information system and business
process related projects aimed at improving the quality,
efficiency and regulatory compliance of current operations.
The extent of these projects creates operational risks that the
Group strives to minimise by developing and implementing
models related to project management and monitoring (incl.
regular reporting) and ensuring sufficient resources. The risks
related to development projects are surveyed and monitored
regularly.
The Group has an approval process for new products and
services. The process aims to ensure that all material risks
and operational requirements are taken into account when
developing new products and services. The Group has
outsourcing arrangements of which the most important are IT
and infrastructure services and SaaS services. The realisation
of operational risks is monitored with systematic operational
risk event reporting, which is used to change operating
principles or implement other measures to reduce operational
risks where necessary. Operational risk events are reported
to the Executive Management Team and the Board of
Directors of the Parent Company. Material losses have not
been realised from operational risks during 2025.

9. ESG risks
ESG risks include climate and environmental, social and
governance risks. MuniFin’s sustainability adenda and
transition plan define, among other things, the Group’s
emission reduction targets and metrics, which form part of the
Group’s ESG risk management.
There have been no material changes in ESG risks during the
financial year.
According to the Group’s assessment, its exposure to climate
and environmental risks is low. As per the Group’s business
model, customer receivables originate from the Finnish
municipal and wellbeing services counties sectors or are from
the State of Finland after credit mitigation (state deficiency
guarantee).
The Group’s customers and, through them, also the Group
itself are exposed to both physical and transition risks.
Identified risks are related to real estate collateral, but given
the existing guarantee arrangements, even the materialisation
of a climate or environmental risk is not expected to incur final
credit losses.
The Group’s investment counterparties are governments,
central banks, SSA (Sovereigns, Supranationals, Agencies)
sector entities and credit institutions, and the Group only
invests in counterparties whose risks it considers to be low.
This also applies to the Group’s derivative counterparties.
According to the Group’s assessment, environmental and
climate risks are unlikely to manifest substantially in the short
term, but they may have an adverse economic effect on the
Group’s customers in the medium and long term. Although
the Group considers the environmental and climate risks low,
the Group recognises that as the climate change progresses,
the risks associated with it increase and the uncertainty rises.
The Group assesses its exposure to the environmental and
climate risks at least annually.
The Group recognises the possibility of being exposed not
only to climate and environmental risks but also to social
and governance risks arising from its own operations or
those of its customers. However, the likelihood of these risks
materialising is assessed as low. The Group monitors the
governance of its customers and investment counterparties
through an ESG scoring model, which it uses to evaluate their
reported governance and other ESG factors.

Note 3. Interest income and expense
Notes to the income statement
Accounting policies
Interest income and expense from financial assets and liabilities are recognised in net interest
income. In the line item Interest income/expense according to the effective interest rate method
the Group presents interest income/expense from financial assets/liabilities measured at
amortised cost or at fair value trough other comprehensive income. Interest income/expense
from derivative contracts under hedge accounting is presented in the item Interest income
according to the effective interest rate method if the derivative contract is used to hedge an
asset, and if the derivative contract is hedging a liability interest income/expense is presented
in the line item Interest expenses according to the effective interest rate method. Line items
Other interest income and Other interest expense include interest income and interest
expense from financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, derivative contracts
hedging them, interest from non-financial assets and interest from finance lease agreements.
The interest income and expense from derivative contracts not included in hedge accounting
are presented on a contractual basis, either under Other interest income or Other interest
expense.
Transaction expenses, premiums or discounts as well as commissions and fees received
and paid which are considered as compensation for the risk incurred by the Group in relation
to the financial instrument and are considered as an integral part of the effective interest
rate, are taken into account when the effective interest rate is calculated. For floating rate
financial liabilities, premium or discount is amortised from the date of issuance to the next
interest payment date. For fixed rate financial liabilities, the premium or discount is amortised
until maturity. The Group amortises the premium or discount of floating rate debt security
investments until maturity. In the current market conditions, the premium or discount on a
financial asset is not based on changes in market rates, but on credit risk. The market value
of a floating rate investment does not reset to the nominal when its interest rate is re-fixed to
market interest rates, therefore the amortisation to the next interest date is not justifiable. The
Group evaluates the impact of changes in market conditions on the amortisation principle and
its application regularly.

During the financial year, the Group has corrected the presentation of balances with central
banks and the presentation of lease liabilities. Comparative figures have been corrected
accordingly. More detailed information about the change in presentation can be found in Note
1 Summary of material accounting policies and corrections to previous Financial Statements.
In the above table, interest expenses on financial assets at amortised cost consisted of
interest paid on cash collateral receivables. The derivative contracts under hedge accounting
presented under assets are hedging line items Loans and advances to the public and public
sector entities and Finance lease agreements. Interest income and expense, presented
under assets, on derivative contracts at fair value through profit or loss consist of interest
on derivative contracts that are not included in hedge accounting. The derivative contracts
contained in this line item hedge financial assets which are designated at fair value through
profit or loss, derivative contracts with municipalities and derivative contracts hedging
derivatives with municipalities, in addition to derivative contracts used for hedging interest
rate risk of the balance sheet, for which no hedged item has been specified. In addition, this
line item includes derivative contracts that are made to hedge currency risk arising from
currency denominated cash collateral.
Interest income on stage 3 financial assets in the expected credit loss (ECL) calculations
totalled EUR 10,728 thousand (EUR 3,758 thousand) during the financial year. These are
included in the line item Loans and advances to the public and public sector entities.
Derivative contracts in hedge accounting that are presented under liabilities, are used as
hedges for line items Liabilities to credit institutions, Liabilities to the public and public sector
entities and Debt securities issued. Interest income on derivative contracts at fair value
through profit or loss that is presented under liabilities, consists of interest on derivatives that
are not included in hedge accounting. Derivative contracts contained in this line item hedge
financial liabilities which are designated at fair value through profit or loss.
Interest on non-financial other liabilities includes EUR 254 thousand (EUR 116 thousand) of
interest on lease liabilities recognised in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases standard.

municipalities, joint municipal authorities, wellbeing services counties and entities controlled by them.
MuniFin’s subsidiary was formerly called Financial Advisory Services Inspira Plc and used to offer advisory services to
MuniFin’s customers. The Group discontinued these services in 2024, and the subsidiary company now provides some of
the digital value added services MuniFin offers to its customers.
Commission expenses include paid guarantee fees, custody fees as well as funding programme update fees. Commission
expenses are recognised on accrual basis. In fee and commission expense, line item Other includes i.e. paid custody fees and
funding programme update costs.
Accounting policies
Fees that are not an integral part of the effective
interest rate of a financial instrument are accounted
for in accordance with IFRS 15 standard. Commission
income is recognised when the Group transfers
control of services’ performance obligations to a
customer. The key criterion is the transfer of control.
Commission income is recognised to the extent that
the Group is expected to be entitled of the services
rendered to the customer.
The Group’s commission income consists of fees for
digital services. The performance obligations of the
services are met either over time or at a point in time,
depending on the nature of the service. Commissions
for digital services are charged once a year and
recognised over time. Other commissions are charged
and recognised at the time of the service is provided.

Note 5. Net result on financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss
Accounting policies requiring management judgement and key uncertainty
factors related to estimates
For the valuation of financial instruments where prices quoted in active markets are not
available, the Group uses valuation techniques to establish fair value. These valuation
techniques involve significant management judgement, the degree of which will depend on
the observability of the input parameters and the instrument’s complexity. Accounting policies
related to definition of fair value of financial assets and liabilities which require significant
management judgment or estimates are described in more detail in Note 12 Fair values of
financial assets and liabilities.
Accounting policies
Item Net result on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss includes fair value
changes of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss except
interest income and expense from financial instruments which are recorded in item Net
interest income. Item Net result on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss
consists of fair value changes of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through
profit or loss, fair value changes of derivative contracts at fair value through profit or loss
(not included in hedge accounting) as well as capital gains and losses related to these items.
Furthermore, item Net result on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss consists
of the net result from hedge accounting, which includes the net result from recognising
financial assets and liabilities for the hedged risk and the fair value changes of derivative
contracts hedging them. Item Net result on financial instruments at fair value through profit or
loss also consists of unrealised and realised translation differences for all items denominated
in foreign currencies.
Accounting policies related to the classification of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed
in Note 11 Financial assets and liabilities. The definition of fair value of financial assets and
liabilities is described in more detail in Note 12 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities.
A more detailed description of the content of net result of hedge accounting is disclosed in

During the financial year 2025, the fair value change of debt securities was EUR 8,004 thousand (EUR 65,637 thousand). This was affected by the general decline in credit spreads in the markets,
which improved valuations. Although the rise in long-term euro market interest rates pushed valuations downwards, the positive impact of the decline in credit spreads was greater. Therefore, the
change in the value of debt securities remained positive in the financial year 2025.

During the financial year 2025, the change in fair value of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss of EUR 273,277 thousand (EUR -67,600 thousand) was particularly
affected by the increase in EUR market interest rates. The change in own credit risk amounted to EUR -77,669 thousand (EUR 137,202 thousand) during the financial year. The change was affected
by decrease in the Group’s funding costs due to a general decrease in market credit spreads.

Note 7. HR and administrative expenses
Accounting policies
Item HR and administrative expenses includes salaries and
fees, pension costs as well as other social security costs.
Also, short-term employee benefits and termination benefits
are included in this line item. In addition, costs related to IT,
marketing and other administrative costs are presented as
administrative expenses.
Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits (other
than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled in
their entirety within twelve months of the financial reporting
period in which the employees render the related service.
Short-term employee benefits consist of salaries, fringe
benefits, annual leave and performance bonuses. The Group
recognises the cost of these benefits for the period in which
the employees render the related service.
Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in
exchange for the termination of an employee’s employment
as a result of the Group’s decision to terminate an
employee’s employment before the normal retirement date
or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of benefits in
exchange for the termination of employment. Termination
benefits are based on termination of employment, not on work
performance.
Post-employment benefits are paid to recipients after
termination of employment. In MuniFin Group, these benefits
consist of pensions. The Group’s pension plans are defined
contribution plans. Pension coverage has been arranged via
an external pension insurance group. For defined contribution
plans, the Group makes fixed payments to external pension
insurance companies. After this, the Group has no legal or
actual obligation to make further payments if the pension
insurance company does not have sufficient assets to pay
the employees’ pensions for current or preceding periods.
The contributions payables are recognised as expenses in
the income statement for the period to which the payments
relate. The Group’s remuneration system is in its entirety
contribution based.

determined by the significance and risk profile of
the supervised entity. The Group pays an annual
administrative fee to the EU’s Single Resolution
Board. An annual administrative fee is also paid to
the Finnish Financial Stability Authority, which is
determined on the same basis as the supervisory fee
of FIN-FSA. Administrative and supervisory fees are
recognised on an accrual basis.

Accounting policies requiring management judgement or

Accounting policies
Recognition and derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are recognised on the statement of financial
position on the settlement day and derecognised when the
contractual right to the assets expires or when the rights have
been transferred to another party. Derivatives are recognised
on the trade date.
Derecognition due to substantial modification of
terms and conditions
The Group derecognises a financial asset, such as a loan
to a customer, when the terms and conditions have been
renegotiated to the extent that, substantially, it becomes a
new loan. The newly recognised loan is classified as stage
1 for the purposes of measurement of expected credit loss,
unless the Group deems that the modified loan is a credit-
impaired financial asset (Purchased or Originated Credit
Impaired, POCI). If the modification does not result in cash
flows that are substantially different, the modification does
not result in derecognition. Accounting policies related to
Forborne loans are desribed in more detailed level in Note 22
Credit risks of financial assets and other commitments.
Classification and measurement of financial assets
The classification of financial assets is dependent on the
business model applied to managing the financial assets and
the characteristics of their contractual cash flows.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value
taking into account transaction costs that are incremental
and directly attributable to the acquisition cost of the financial
asset, unless the financial asset is measured at fair value
through profit or loss. Trade receivables are measured at
the transaction price. On initial recognition, a financial asset
is classified at amortised cost (AC), fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI) or fair value through profit
or loss (FVTPL). Certain financial assets, that otherwise
meet the requirements to be classified at amortised cost
or fair value through other comprehensive income, can be
irrevocably designated to be measured at fair value through
profit or loss. Financial assets are reclassified only when the
business model for managing the financial assets is changed.
Derivative contracts are always measured at fair value trough
profit or loss. Accounting policies related to definition of fair
value of financial assets are described in more detail in Note
12 Fair values of financial assets and liabilities.
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Business model assessment
The Group has determined its business models at the level
that best reflects how it manages groups of financial assets
to achieve its business objective. Business model is not
assessed on an instrument-by-instrument basis, but at a
higher level of aggregation and it is based on observable
factors such as:
• How the performance of the business model and the
financial assets held within that business model are
evaluated and reported to the Group’s key management
personnel.
• The risks that affect the performance of the business model
and the financial assets held within that business model
and, in particular, the way those risks are managed.
• How managers of the business are compensated, for
example, whether the compensation is based on the fair
value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash
flows collected.
• The expected frequency, value and timing of sales.
The business model assessment is based on reasonably
expected scenarios without taking “worst case” or “stress
case” scenarios into account. If cash flows after initial
recognition are realised in a way that is different from original
expectations, the Group does not change the classification
of the remaining financial assets held in that business model
but incorporates such information when assessing newly
originated or newly purchased financial assets going forward.
MuniFin Group has identified two different business models
for managing financial assets: the first business model is
based on holding financial assets and collecting contractual
cash flows. The other business model is based on collecting
contractual cash flows and selling financial assets.
Solely Payment of Principal and Interest (SPPI) test
As a second step of its classification process the Group
assesses the contractual terms of financial assets to identify
whether they meet the SPPI test. In the SPPI test, the
contractual cash flows of the financial asset are assessed.
In order to pass the SPPI test, the cash flows need to consist
solely of payments of principal and interest. “Principal” for the
purpose of this test is defined as the fair value of the financial
asset at initial recognition and it may change over the life
of the financial asset, for example if there are repayments
of principal or amortization of the premium or discount.
The most significant elements of interest within a lending
arrangement are typically the consideration for the time value
of money and credit risk. To make the SPPI assessment, the
Group applies judgement and considers relevant factors such
as the currency in which the financial asset is denominated,
and the period for which the interest rate is set.
Financial assets are required to be classified at fair value
through profit or loss, if:
• they contain contractual terms that are unrelated to a basic
lending agreement and
• give rise to cash flows that are not solely payments of
principal and interest on the amount outstanding.
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
These contractual terms are required to introduce a
more than de minimis exposure to risks or volatility in the
contractual cash flows, in order for the financial asset to
fail the SPPI test. Some of the Group’s structured lending
agreements do not fulfil the SPPI criteria and are thus
classified mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss. As
a result of the requirements in the SPPI test, there is no need
to separately assess embedded derivatives as the whole
instrument is classified at fair value through profit or loss. IFRS
9 does not allow for the separation of embedded derivatives
from financial asset host contracts.
Financial assets at amortised cost
A financial asset is classified at amortised cost if it meets both
of the following conditions and is not designated at fair value
through profit or loss:
• The asset is held within a business model with the objective
to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
• 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 in this category are initially recognised at
fair value adjusted by directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequently, these assets are measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest rate method. The measurement
of impairment is based on the expected credit loss model
described in Note 22 Credit risks of financial assets and
other commitments. Interest income on financial assets at
amortised cost is recognised in the income statement under
Interest income at effective interest rate method. The expected
credit losses are recognised in the income statement under
Credit losses on financial assets recognised at amortised cost
and at fair value through other comprehensive income
As a rule, the Group hedges fixed rate lending and lending
at long-term reference rates and applies fair value hedge
accounting to these. Lending that is designated as a hedged
item in a hedge relationship is measured at fair value for the
risk hedged. Hedge accounting principles are described in
Note 21 Hedge accounting.

/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Financial assets at fair value through
other comprehensive income
A financial asset, that is a debt instrument, is classified at fair
value through other comprehensive income if it meets both
of the following conditions and is not designated at fair value
through profit or loss:
• The asset is held within a business model in which the
objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash
flows and selling financial assets; and
• 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 in this category are initially recognised at
fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognised
through other comprehensive income and are presented in
Fair value reserve adjusted by deferred tax. The measurement
of impairment is based on the expected credit loss model
described in Note 22 Credit risks of financial assets and other
commitments. Foreign exchange gains and losses on debt
securities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised
in the income statement line Net result on financial instruments
at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income on debt
securities is recognised in the income statement under
Interest income at effective interest rate method. The expected
credit losses are recognised in the income statement under
Credit losses on financial assets recognised at amortised cost
and at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets measured at fair value through
profit or loss
Financial assets in this category are initially recognised at fair
value. Subsequently, these assets are measured at fair value
through profit or loss. The Group divides financial assets
measured at fair value through profit or loss into financial
assets that are designated at fair value through profit or loss
and into financial assets that are measured mandatorily at fair
value trough proft or loss. Fair value changes are recorded in
the income statement under Net result on financial instruments
at fair value through profit or loss. Interest received on financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the
income statement under Other Iinterest income.
Financial assets designated at fair value through
profit or loss
On initial recognition, the Group can designate certain
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. This
irrevocable designation is made if doing so eliminates
or significantly reduces measurement or recognition
inconsistencies (accounting mismatch) which would
otherwise arise from measuring financial assets on
different bases.
Financial assets measured mandatorily at
fair value through profit or loss
If a financial asset does not pass the SPPI test, it will be
measured mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at amortised cost
The first business model recognised by the Group is a
business model with the objective to hold assets to collect
contractual cash flows. Based on the business model
assessment, financial assets that are classified at amortised
cost include the Group’s lending portfolio consisting of
short-term and long-term lending, money market deposits,
reverse repurchase agreements, bank account balances
and CSA collateral receivables and financing collateralised
with property (property lease receivables). All of the
aforementioned financial assets pass the SPPI test.
Property lease receivables
For property leases, the Group has assessed whether
control of the property lease is transfered to the Group, and
if the transaction is sale and leaseback, does the sale meet
the criteria for sales under IFRS 15. Where the control of the
property is retained by the seller of the property these are
classified as financial assets under IFRS 9. All property leases
are classified as financial assets. The Group does not bear
any residual value risk of the leased assets. Equipment leases
which the Group has granted to customers are classified as
finance lease receivables and presented in Note 18 Finance
lease receivables. The Group applies hedge accounting for
property lease receivables and equipment lease receivables.
More information regarding hedge accounting is disclosed in
Note 21 Hedge accounting.
Sustainable finance receivables
Financial assets measured at amortised cost include
sustainable finance loans granted to the Group’s customers.
Loans for green and social financing are granted a marginal
discount at the time the loan is granted. MuniFin’s green
and social frameworks determine the criteria for the
margin discounts. In addition, the financial assets include
sustainability-linked loans granted to the Group’s customers.
The determination of the cash flows (interest cash flows)
under the agreements depends on whether the customers
achieve the targets of the pre-defined emission reduction
path. Customers will receive a margin discount on the interest
rate on the loan when they meet their emission reduction
targets. The management has estimated the margin discount
to be immaterial and these loans pass the SPPI test in which
case the loan receivable is measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income
The other business model the Group has recognised is
based on collecting contractual cash flows and selling
financial assets. Based on the business model assessment,
investments of the Group’s liquidity portfolio are classified at
fair value through other comprehensive income. The majority
of the liquidity portfolio consists of fixed and floating rate debt
securities and investments in commercial papers. These
investments pass the SPPI test.
Financial assets measured at fair value through
profit or loss
This group contains financial assets that are designated or
mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss at
initial recognition as well as derivative contracts.
Financial assets designated at fair value through
profit or loss
Financial assets that the Group has designated at fair
value through profit or loss include debt securities of the
liquidity portfolio of which the interest rate risk is hedged
with interest rate swaps. The Group has also designated
currency denominated commercial paper that are hedged
with currency derivatives at fair value through profit or loss. In
addition, the Group designates individual lending agreements
at fair value trough profit or loss of which the interest rate risk
is hedged with interest rate swaps.
Financial assets measured mandatorily at
fair value through profit or loss
The Group classifies structured lending agreements which do
not pass the SPPI test mandatorily at fair value through profit
or loss.

Accounting policies
Recognition and derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised when the consideration
is received and are derecognised when the obligations have
been fulfilled. Derivatives are recognised on the trade date.
Derecognition due to substantial modification of
terms and conditions
If an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the
same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms
of the existing liability are substantially modified, such an
exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the
original liability and the recognition of a new liability.
Classification and measurement of
financial liabilities
On initial recognition, a financial liability is measured at fair
value. Subsequently, these financial liabilities are measured
at amortised cost or designated at fair value through profit
or loss. Certain financial liabilities, that otherwise meet the
requirements to be classified at amortised cost, can be
irrevocably designated at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are not reclassified after initial recognition.
Derivative contracts are always measured at fair value
through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities in this category are initially recognised
at fair value adjusted by directly attributable transaction
costs. Subsequently, these financial liabilities are measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Interest expense on liabilities is recognised in the income
statement under Interest expense at effective interest rate
method. If the Group hedges financial liabilities at amortised
cost, fair value hedge accounting is applied. Financial
liabilities subject to hedge accounting are measured at fair
value for hedged risk. The principles of hedge accounting are
described in Note 21 Hedge accounting.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A financial liability is classified at fair value through profit or
loss unless it is classified at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities designated at fair value through
profit or loss
On initial recognition, the Group can designate certain
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. This
designation is made if:
• it eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting
mismatch or
• financial liabilities are both managed, and their performance
evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a
documented risk management or investment strategy.
To eliminate the accounting mismatch resulting from an
economic hedge, the Group designates debt instruments
at fair value through profit or loss. Debt securities issued
by MuniFin can contain interest or redemption terms with
economic characteristics and risks that are not closely
related to the host contract. All financial liabilities containing
embedded derivatives requiring separation are designated at
fair value through profit or loss.
When a financial liability is designated at fair value through
profit or loss, the Group separates changes in own credit
risk from fair value changes. The change in own credit risk is
presented in other comprehensive income in line item Change
in fair value due to changes in own credit risk on financial
liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. The
change in fair value, except the fair value change in own credit
risk is presented in line item Net result on financial instruments
at fair value through profit and loss. The impact of the change
in own credit risk on the fair value of financial liabilities is
disclosed in Note 5 Net result on financial instruments at fair
value through profit and loss. Interest expense on liabilities
is recognised in the income statement under Other interest
expense.

Valuation framework
MuniFin Group has implemented a framework for the
arrangements, activities and procedures related to the
Group’s model risk management. The purpose of the
model risk management framework is to ensure effective
management of model risk and mitigation of fair value
uncertainty, as well as to ensure compliance with external and
internal requirements. The Group ensures that all aspects
of the lifecycle of valuation models (i.e. approval, design and
development, testing and maintenance, monitoring and
execution) are subject to effective governance, clear roles
and responsibilities and effective internal control.
The Group manages and maintains a model inventory which
provides a holistic view of all valuation models, their business
purpose and characteristics as well as their applications and
conditions for use. All approved valuation models within the
model inventory are subject to annual review and re-approval
by the Risk Management and Compliance Management
Team.
The Finance Management Team acts as a valuation control
group for MuniFin Group’s fair values and is responsible
for the final approval of the Group’s fair values for financial
reporting. The Finance Management Team monitors
and controls MuniFin Group’s valuation process and the
performance of valuation models, decides on the necessary
measures and reports to the Executive Management Team.
The Finance Management Team assesses whether the
valuation models and valuation process provide sufficiently
accurate information to be used in financial reporting and,
based on the information received, decides on possible
adjustments to the values generated by the valuation process.
The Group has implemented an efficient control and
performance monitoring framework with regards to its
valuation models, which aims to ensure the accuracy and
appropriateness of model output. Model performance
monitoring consists of four main controls:
• Counterparty valuation control (CVC)
• Fair value explanation
• Independent price verification (IPV)
• Independent model validation.
Counterparty valuation control (CVC) is performed daily by
Risk Management with the purpose to assess any deviations
in valuation model output compared to MuniFin Group’s
own earlier valuations and to counterparty valuations. Fair
value explanation process consists of a daily analysis and
explanation of the changes in fair values by Risk Management.
The independent price verification is performed monthly as
a part of MuniFin Group’s IPV process by a third party service
provider. The results of counterparty valuation control, fair
value explanation and independent price verifcation control
are reported monthly to the CFO and quarterly to the Finance
Management Team. The independent model validation is
performed annually for a subset of MuniFin Group’s valuation
models by a third-party service provider. The results of the
model validation are reported to the Finance Management
Team.

Accounting policies requiring management
judgement and key uncertainty factors
related to estimates
The key assumptions made by the Group concern key
uncertainty factors pertaining to the future and the
estimates at the financial statement date which relate to
the determination of fair value. The level of management
judgement required in establishing fair value of financial
instruments for which there is a quoted price in an active
market is usually minimal. For the valuation of financial
instruments where prices quoted in active markets are not
available, the Group uses valuation techniques to establish
fair value. These valuation techniques involve some level of
management judgement, the degree of which will depend on
the observability of the input parameters and the instrument’s
complexity. The Group has determined that the most relevant
accounting policies requiring management judgement in the
determination of fair value relate to:
• the choice of valuation parameters and modelling
techniques
• determing the hierarchy level to which a financial
instrument should be classified, when the valuation is
dependant on a number of inputs, of which some are
observable, and others unobservable.
In addition the Group has defined key estimates related to
determination of fair value as following:
• judgement on which market parameters are observable
• applying the input data, assumptions and modelling
techniques in particular, where data is obtained from
infrequent market transactions
• the fair value adjustments incorporating relevant risk
factors.
Accounting policies
Determination of fair value
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell the
asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair values of financial instruments are determined on
the basis of either price quotations obtained from functioning
markets or, if such markets do not exist, by applying valuation
methods. A market is deemed to be functioning if price
quotations are readily and consistently available, and they
reflect real market transactions executed in a consistent
manner between independent parties. If a quoted price in
an active market is not available for a financial instrument,
the Group uses valuation techniques standard across
the industry and for which sufficient information is available
to determine the fair value. The chosen valuation technique
should include all factors that market participants would
consider in pricing the financial instrument. Observable inputs
are used as widely as possible in the valuation technique and
the use of unobservable inputs is minimised.
IFRS 13 classifies valuation models and techniques into three
different categories: market approach, income approach
and cost approach. The Group applies the market-based
approach when the instrument has a functioning market and
public price quotations are available.
Income approach is applied when valuation is based, for
example, on determining the present value of future cash
flows (discounting). Valuation methods take into account
the assessment of credit risk, discount rates, the possibility
of early repayment and other factors that influence the fair
value of a financial instrument reliably. The Group does not
use the cost approach for the valuation of any of its financial
instruments.
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
The Group classifies fair values using a fair value hierarchy
which is divided into level 1, 2 and 3 inputs, which reflects the
significance of the inputs used for valuation.
Level 1
Inputs that are quoted market prices unadjusted for identical
instruments in active markets that the Group can access at
the measurement date. The market is considered to be active
if trading is frequent and price data is regularly available.
These quotes (mid) represent the price for an orderly
transaction between parties in the market on the valuation
date.
Level 2
The fair value is determined using other inputs than quoted
prices included within level 1 which are observable either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
This level includes instruments valued using quoted prices for
identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered
less than active or other valuation techniques in which all
significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from
market data.
Level 3
Level 3 includes all instruments for which the valuation
technique includes inputs that are not observable and
these unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the
instrument’s valuation. Unobservable inputs are used only to
the extent that no relevant observable inputs are available.
If the valuation input is illiquid, extrapolated or based on
historical prices, it will be defined as a level 3 valuation input as
these types of inputs are per definition unobservable.
The Group uses the market approach for the valuation of
investment bonds of the liquidity portfolio. Level 1 instruments
mainly contain the Group’s investments in debt securities. For
all level 1 assets, the Group uses market prices of identical
assets. The Group does not use prices of comparable assets.
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
MuniFin Group applies different models in order to derive the
fair values of certain types of instruments. The choice of base
models and model calibration depends on the complexity of
the financial instrument and the observability of the relevant
inputs. In line with market practice, the primary choice of base
model is contingent on the underlying instrument classes.
Additionally, instruments are broken down into different
categories granular enough to capture the most important
risk drivers and different kinds of calibration techniques.
The specific combination of base models and the different
assumptions and calibration techniques are documented.
The Group’s fair value instruments that are subject to mark-to-
model valuation techniques consist of four asset classes:
• Interest rate instruments
• FX instruments
• Equity-linked instruments
• Hybrid instruments.
All valuation models, both complex and simple models,
use market prices and other inputs. These market prices
and inputs comprise for example interest rates, FX rates,
volatilities and correlations. The Group applies different types
of valuation inputs depending on the type and complexity
of the instruments and the related risk factors and payoff
structures. The Group’s categorisation to the fair value
hierarchy levels is based on the analysis performed with
regards to the valuation inputs, stress testing (reasonably
possible alternative assumption) and model complexity. If
the inputs used to measure fair value are categorised into
different levels on the fair value hierarchy, the fair value
measurement is categorised in its entirety on the level of the
lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The approach is decribed in more detail in the section
Sensitivity analysis of unobservable inputs.
The Group uses the income approach for many of its financial
instruments. Level 2 instruments comprise mainly OTC
derivatives, the Group’s issued plain-vanilla financial liabilities
and the Group’s lending agreements. Level 3 includes
financial instruments with equity and FX structures due to
the impact of the utilisation of inputs such as dividend yield
on the fair value measurement. In addition, level 3 contains
some interest rate structures with long maturities (exceeding
e.g. 35 years) or in currencies where the interest rate curve
is not considered liquid for all maturities. Due to the nature
of MuniFin Group’s funding portfolio (i.e. issued bonds are
hedged back-to-back), if a swap that is hedging an issued
bond is designated as a level 3 instrument, then the issued
bond will also be designated as a level 3 instrument.
Separation of fair value changes related to changes
in own credit risk
For the separation of fair value changes related to changes
in own credit risk the Group applies the income approach.
For the majority of financial liabilities designated at fair value
through profit or loss, no market price is available as there is
no active secondary market. The methodology for separation
of own credit risk utilises the following inputs:
• MuniFin’s benchmark curves in different currencies
• cross currency basis spreads
• credit spreads of MuniFin’s issued debt securities on the
primary market.
Based on the aforementioned inputs, valuation curves can be
constructed for various reporting periods for valuing financial
liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. By
comparing fair values calculated using the curves of the trade
date and reporting date, the impact of change in own credit
risk on the fair value of the financial liability can be determined.

/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Credit valuation adjustments
Fair value of financial instruments is generally calculated
as the net present value of the individual instruments.
This calculation is supplemented by counterparty level
adjustments. The Group incorporates credit valuation
adjustments (CVA) and debit valuation adjustments (DVA)
into derivative valuations. CVA reflects the impact of the
counterparty’s credit risk on fair value and DVA MuniFin
Group’s own credit quality. The Credit Valuation Adjustment
that measures counterparty credit risk and MuniFin
Group’s own Debt Valuation Adjustment are both taken into
account when calculating credit risk exposures arising from
derivative counterparties. The CVA is estimated for each
derivative counterparty by calculating the Group’s expected
positive exposure throughout the maturity of the derivative
portfolio, taking into account the probability of default
and the estimated amount of loss in the possible event of
default. Input data for the calculation is based on the terms
of CSA agreements, generally accepted assumptions in the
markets on the loss given default and expected probabilities
calculated based on credit default swaps (CDS). Similarly, the
DVA is determined on the basis of MuniFin Group’s expected
negative exposures, taking into account the probability of
MuniFin’s own default and the loss given default. In addition,
the Group calculates a Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA)
for those derivative contracts that do not include cash
collateral arrangements (derivatives with MuniFin Group’s
customers).
Initial recognition
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument
on initial recognition is usually the transaction price. If the
fair value on initial recognition differs from the transaction
price and the fair value is determined based on unobservable
inputs with significant impact on valuation, then the financial
instrument is initially measured at fair value and adjusted by
the difference between the fair value on initial recognition
and the transaction price (Day 1 gain or loss). The difference
is amortised on a straight-line basis throughout the lifetime of
the contract. Day 1 gain or loss for MuniFin Group is presented
in the table below.

Sensitivity analysis of unobservable inputs
Sensitivity analysis illustrates the impact of the reasonably
possible assumptions on the fair value of financial instruments
for which valuation is dependent on unobservable inputs.
In order to assess the significance of the level 3 valuation
inputs to the fair value of an instrument, the Group has
defined a materiality (significance) threshold to the fair value
of an instrument and pre-defined the stress level that is
assessed to be a ‘reasonably possible alternative assumption’
to the valuation input. In addition, in order to assess the
significance, the Group uses a materiality threshold for
comparing the impact of the unobservable input on the fair
value relative to the notional. If the impact is below threshold,
the financial instrument is classified as a level 2 instrument.
The assessment of the fair value hierarchy classification will
be performed using a “Waterfall” principle meaning that the
input which is assumed to be the most material valuation
input, in combination with the complexity of the model, will
be assessed first. As a result of the assessment, the Group
has identified level 3 instruments for which the impact of
unobservable inputs on the fair value is material.
The unobservable inputs used by the Group
The unobservable inputs are used in the valuation only to the
extent that relevant observable inputs are not available.
Correlation parameters
If the fair value of a financial instrument is impacted by more
than one unobservable input, correlations describe the
relationship between these different underlyings. For example
for equity-linked instruments, correlation has a significant
impact on fair value, if the underlying is dependent on more
than one equity. For FX-linked cross currency and interest rate
derivatives, correlations exist between FX rates of currencies,
which impact the fair value of the financial instrument. If a high
correlation exists between the unobservable inputs, it will
lead to an increase in fair value. A low correlation between
the unobservable inputs will lead to a decrease in fair value.
MuniFin Group has financial instruments, in which correlation
is a significant unobservable input, mainly in funding products
and their hedges.
Volatility (extrapolated or illiquid)
A financial instrument for which the fair value is based on
a stochastic model will typically require the volatility of the
underlying instrument as an input. The Group uses Dupire
local volatility model as its stochastic valuation model. For
interest rate volatilities at-the-money implied volatility is
used. For FX and equity components (both equity indices
and single stock prices), a full volatility surface is used that
includes quotes for different strikes and maturities. The Group
uses implied volatility for the majority of the equity-linked
structures. In some cases no liquid volatility surface exists.
In these cases, a proxy volatility is typically used instead.
The majority of the financial instruments, which use volatility
as a significant unobservable input, are the Group’s funding
products and their hedges.

/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Dividend yield
The main drivers influencing the fair value of equity-linked
instruments are dividend yield and volatility of the underlying
equities. Equity-linked instruments require a dividend
parameter as an input to the fair value. The equity component
is modelled using the Dupire local volatility model where the
underlying equity prices are assumed to follow a random
walk. During the comparison period, MuniFin Group had
equity-linked financial instruments in which dividend yield as a
significant unobservable input, within its funding portfolio and
their hedging instruments.
Interest rates (extrapolated or illiquid)
The Group uses unobservable inputs in defining fair value of
complex interest rate structures. Future cash flows and their
fair value is determined by using forward rates and volatilities
of the underlying interest rates using Hull-White stochastic
model. Financial instruments where payoffs are dependent on
the value of complex interest rate structures are categorised
on level 3. The majority of these instruments requiring
extrapolated or illiquid interest rates as input are the Group’s
funding products and their hedges.
The changes in fair value of the unobservable inputs on level
3 is not necessarily independent, and dynamic relationships
often exist between the unobservable inputs and the
observable inputs. Such relationships, where material
to the fair value of a given instrument, are controlled via
pricing models or valuation techniques. MuniFin Group uses
stochastic models to generate a distribution of future cash
flows of each financial instrument. The future cash flows are
then discounted back to present to get the fair value of each
financial instrument. The stochastic models used by the
Group are Hull-White model and Dupire volatility model.
The following table illustrates the impact that changing
one or more of the assumptions in the unobservable
input (reasonably possible alternative assumptions) could
have on the valuations at the financial statement date.
However, it is unlikely in practice that all unobservable
inputs would simultaneously move to extremes of
reasonably possible alternatives used in the sensitivity
analysis. Hence, the impact of the sensitivity analysis
disclosed in this Note is likely to be greater than the true
uncertainty in the fair values at the financial statement
date. Furthermore, the disclosure is neither predictive
nor indicative of future movements in the fair value of
financial instruments.
Estimates of fair value are appropriate and applied
according to the Group’s valuation policy but the use
of different methodologies or assumptions could lead
to different measurements of fair value. For fair value
measurements on level 3, changing one or more of the
assumptions to the reasonably possible alternative
assumptions would have the following effects: as of
31 December 2025, these assumptions could have
increased fair values by EUR 6.4 million (EUR 13.6 million)
or decreased fair values by EUR 6.4 million (EUR -13.4
million).

Transfers within the fair value hierarchy
MuniFin Group assesses the appropriateness and correctness of the fair value hierarchy
classification at initial recognition and at the end of each reporting period. These
assessment are done in order to determine the initial classification into level 1, 2 and 3
and the subsequent potential transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy.
A transfer between the fair value hierarchies can occur for example when a previously
observed input requires an adjustment using an unobservable input. The procedure is the
same for transfers into and out of the fair value levels. Transfers between the levels are
considered to take place at the end of the quarter during which an event causes such a
transfer or circumstances change.

Note 13. Breakdown of the Groups assets and liabilities between current and non-current items
Accounting policies
In the following table, the Group presents a breakdown by
maturity for the balance sheet items between current and
non-current items based on the maturity date of the item
or when the item is expected to be used in the Group’s
business operations. Current items include items expected
to realise during the following 12 months. In the non-current
items, the Group presents items that are expected to be
realised after 12 months. Liabilities and hedging derivative
contracts that may be called before maturity have been
classified in the class corresponding to the first possible
call date. The Group estimates it will call 10–30% of its
callable liabilities in 2026. In 2025, the Group called 42% of
its callable liabilities.
Maturities for contractual undiscounted future cash flows
for financial assets and liabilities are presented in Note 2
Risk management principles and the Group’s risk position.

Note 18. Finance lease receivables
Accounting policies
Finance lease agreements are recognised in the statement of financial position as a
finance lease receivable at an amount corresponding to the Group’s net investment
in the lease. Leases related to equipments, where the Group acts as the lessor,
are classified as finance leases. The leases are classified as a finance lease if they
transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying
asset. Whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease depends on the
substance of the transaction rather than the form of the contract. The Group does not
bear any residual value risk of the leased assets.
The proceeds from the leases are divided into repayments and interest. Interest
income is recognised over the term of the lease in a way that the remaining net
investment yields the same rate of return over the period of the lease. Finance leases
are presented in the statement of financial position under Loans and advances to the
public and public sector entities. The measurement of impairment is based on the
expected credit loss model described in Note 22 Credit risks of financial assets and
other commitments. The interest income is presented in the income statement under
Other interest income. Interest income from finance lease receivables is presented in
Note 3 Interest income and expenses in line Finance lease agreements.

Note 20. Derivative contracts
Accounting policies
The Group measures all derivative contracts at fair value. Derivatives with a positive fair value
are recognised as assets in the statement of financial position in line item Derivative contracts.
Derivatives with a negative fair value are recognised as liabilities in the statement of financial
position in line item Derivative contracts. Changes in fair value are recognised in the income
statement line item Net result on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss with the
exception of the proportion of interest on derivative contracts, which is recognised in the net
interest income.
MuniFin Group uses central counterparties (CCPs) in the clearing of standard over-the-
counter (OTC) derivative contracts, as required by the European Markets Infrastructure
Regulation (EMIR). In this model, at the end of a clearing process, a CCP becomes the
counterparty to each cleared trade. The purpose of CCP clearing is to reduce counterparty
risk. Two global banks provide clearing broker services to the Group. The variation margin
of the derivatives with the CCPs is based on the daily margining of the cash collateral
(Collateralised-to-Market, CTM). MuniFin Group uses in central counterparty clearing also
investment securities as collaterals when changing the initial margin. Given and received
cash collateral from central counterparties are presented in line items Other assets and Other
liabilities. Given and received cash collateral from bank counterparties are presented in line
items Loans and advances to credit institutions and Liabilities to credit institutions. Received
and paid interest on cash collaterals are recorded in the Net interest income.
Accounting policies related to financial assets and liabilities are described in Note 11 Financial
assets and liabilities. For more information about the calculation of fair value and accounting
policies related to management judgment, see Note 12 Fair values of financial assets and
liabilities. Principles for hedge accounting that the Group applies is presented in Note 21

Note 21. Hedge accounting
Accounting policies
The interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk of the
Group are managed by entering into derivative transactions.
According to the Market Risk Policy the Group’s hedging
strategy is to mainly hedge all material foreign exchange
and interest rate risks of financial assets and liabilities with
maturities exceeding one year. As a result, foreign currency
denominated items are translated into euros and fixed rate
and long-term reference rates are swapped to floating
interest rates with shorter terms.
MuniFin Group applies fair value hedge accounting to:
• Financial assets and liabilities and lease agreements
denominated in euros, where the plain-vanilla interest rate
of the hedged item has been swapped to a floating rate
using derivatives.
• Foreign currency denominated financial liabilities with fixed
interest rates, which have been hedged by exchanging the
principal into euros and the interest rate into a floating rate.
The Group applies fair value hedge accounting according
to IFRS 9 (one-to-one hedging or group of items hedging)
and according to IAS 39 (portfolio hedge accounting). The
Group does not apply cash flow hedge accounting. The
Group has documented the hedge relationships within
hedge accounting, and they comply with the Group’s risk
management objectives and strategy.
Fair value hedge accounting
Portfolio hedge accounting according to IAS 39 is applied to
lending receivables at fixed and long-term reference rates.
For financial assets, the Group applies fair value hedge
accounting in accordance with IAS 39 portfolio hedge
accounting to lending at fixed rates and long-term reference
rates. The hedged risk is interest rate risk. The customer
marginal of the lending agreement is not part of the hedge
relationship. The negative reference rates are taken into
account as part of the eliminated margin. Lending is hedged
as a portfolio, as such the hedged item consists of several
lending agreements. The lending agreements are grouped
and hedged by pricing and re-fixing dates. The interest rates
and payment dates of the interest rate derivatives hedging
the lending agreements contained in the portfolio are defined
so that the notionals and cash flows match the terms of the
lending agreements of the hedged item. Therefore, the fair
value changes of the hedging instrument are assumed to
offset those of the lending agreements. The effectiveness of
the hedge relationship is expected to be effective throughout
the hedged period, until maturity. As the portfolio consists
of several hedges and lending agreements, prospective
effectiveness testing is performed for each new group of
hedged items and for the entire portfolio at the inception
of each new hedge. Prospective effectiveness testing is
performed as a sensitivity analysis and by reviewing the
notionals of the hedges and hedged items by maturity bucket.
The Group performs retrospective effectiveness testing using
regression analysis on fair value changes.
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
One-to-one fair value hedge accounting according to IFRS 9
is applied to:
• Fixed rate funding and zero-coupon funding denominated
in euros. The hedged item for euro denominated funding is
interest rate risk.
• Fixed rate funding and zero-coupon funding denominated
in foreign currencies.
• Structured lending, which passes the SPPI test.
For all foreign currency hedge relationships, the Group
has elected to utilise Cost-of-Hedging. For each hedge
relationship, when the cross-currency swap is designated
as a hedging instrument, the cross-currency basis spread is
separated and excluded from the designation and accounted
for as Cost-of-Hedging. The difference between the changes
in fair value of the actual derivative and the designated
portion of the derivative are recorded through the other
comprehensive income under Net change in Cost-of-Hedging
to the Cost-of-Hedging reserve. Thus, changes in cross
currency basis spreads will impact other comprehensive
income and not create ineffectiveness in the hedge
relationship.
For financial liabilities, the hedged item is at amortised cost,
excluding the portion of hedged interest rate risk, which is
subject to fair value hedge accounting. The credit risk of the
Group is not included in the hedging relationship. For each
financial liability in fair value hedge accounting, the Group
determines the credit spread of each trade at inception. The
credit spread corresponds to the margin, which needs to
be added to the discount curve in order for the fair value at
inception to match the issue price. The credit spread is held
constant throughout the hedge relationship and based on
its present value, the fair value of the financial liability with
respect to the hedged risk can be calculated. The change in
the value of the hedged risk is recognised as an adjustment
to the carrying amount of the hedged item in the income
statement under item Net result on financial instruments at
fair value through profit or loss. Ineffectiveness between the
hedged item and the designated portion of the hedge are
recorded in the income statement. Separating the credit
risk from the fair value is a requirement for applying hedge
accounting only on interest rate and foreign exchange rate
risks. The Group uses interest rate swaps and cross currency
interest rate swaps as hedging instruments.
Fair value hedge accounting is applied to structured lending,
which passes the SPPI test and is thus at amortised cost
and which has been hedged 1:1 with interest rate swaps. The
customer marginal of the lending agreement is not part of the
hedge relationship.
Both funding and structured lending are hedged with hedging
instruments with terms that match the hedged item. The
hedge ratio between the hedged item and hedging instrument
is 1:1. As a result, it is expected that the fair value changes of
the derivative offset the fair value changes of the hedged item
related to the hedged risk. Prospective effectiveness testing
has been performed by verifying that the critical terms match.
Ineffectiveness is introduced into the hedge relationship
due to the differences in the interest rate curves used in
valuing the hedged item and hedging instrument. In addition,
ineffectiveness could be created if the critical terms would
differ or if the credit risk of the derivative would increase.
The Group has CSA collateral agreements with its derivative
counterparties to mitigate the counterparty credit risk related
to derivatives. The effectiveness of all hedge relationships is
verified at inception of the hedge relationship and regularly
after that on a quarterly basis.

Group of items fair value hedge accounting according to
IFRS 9 is applied to property and equipment lease receivables
at fixed and long-term reference rates.
Due to the size of the agreements, several lease agreements
are hedged with one interest rate derivative. The terms of
the derivative match the combined terms of the hedged
agreements. The customer marginal of the finance lease
agreement or that of the property lease is not part of the
hedge relationship. The principles of fair value hedge
accounting applied to lease agreements resemble those
presented above to a large extent. Due to the way the
agreements are hedged, the prospective effectiveness
testing is performed using sensitivity analysis. In the analysis
the fair value change of the hedged item and hedging
instrument is simulated by shifting the interest rate curves.
Changes in fair value of hedged items and the derivatives
hedging them, and the ineffective portion of the hedging
relationship are recognised in the income statement line item
Net result on financial instruments at fair value through profit
or loss. In the same line item foreign exchange differences
of derivatives and hedged items are presented. The interest
received and paid on derivative contracts that hedge liabilities
is recognised as an adjustment to Interest expense at effective
interest rate method or if a derivative contract is hedging an
asset, it is recognised as an adjustment to Interest income at
effective interest rate method of hedged assets.
The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in hedge
accounting are presented in Note 11 Financial assets and

Accounting policies
In accordance with the market practice and IFRS 13 standard, the Group discounts hedged
items with the swap curve and the hedging derivatives with the OIS curve, which causes
a significant part of the Group’s hedge ineffectiveness. In addition, ineffectiveness may
also arise to some extent from differences in notional, day count methods or the timing of
cash flows. The Group regularly performs an assessment of the economic relationship of
the hedged item and hedging instrument. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure the
prerequisites for the continuation of the hedging relationship. If the hedging relationship does
not meet the hedge accounting requirements, hedge accounting is discontinued. Change
in the fair value of the hedged item, up to the point when hedge relationship is terminated, is
amortised to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the remaining maturity of the
hedged item.

Note 22. Credit risks of financial assets and other commitments
Accounting policies requiring management
judgement and key uncertainty factors
related to estimates
In preparing the Financial Statements under IFRS accounting
standards, the Group’s management is required to make
certain estimates and use judgement in the application of the
accounting policies that affect the revenue, expenses, assets
and liabilities presented in the Financial Statements. The
key estimates made by the Group concern key uncertainty
factors pertaining to the future and the estimates at the
financial statement date which relate to, among other things,
to the determination of expected credit losses.
The measurement of impairment losses under IFRS 9 across
all categories of financial assets requires judgement, in
particular, with with the estimation of amount and timing of
future cash flows and collateral values when determining
impairment losses and the assessment of a significant
increase in credit risk. These estimates are driven by a
number of factors, changes in which can result in different
levels of allowances.
The calculation of expected credit losses under IFRS 9
requires management judgement and estimates. The most
significant judgments are:
• The Group’s criteria for assessing if there has been a
significant increase in credit risk.
• The Group’s internal credit scoring model, which assigns
probabilities of default (PD) to the individual grades.
• Development of ECL models, including the various formulas
and the choice of inputs.
• Determination of relationships between macroeconomic
scenarios and economic inputs, such as unemployment
levels and collateral values and their effect on PDs , EADs
(Exposures at Default) and LGDs (Loss Given Default).
• Selection of forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios.
The most significant estimates are:
• Estimates on macroeconomic variables .
Accounting policies
The impairment requirements are based on a three-stage
approach to measure expected credit losses (ECL). Financial
assets classified at amortised cost or fair value through other
comprehensive income are in scope for recognising expected
credit loss under the IFRS 9 standard. Also finance lease
receivables and off-balance sheet binding loan commitments
are in scope of expected credit loss due to their credit risk.
Impairment of financial assets is calculated based on the
credit loss expected to arise over a 12-month period, unless
there has been a significant increase in credit risk since
origination, in which case, the allowance is calculated based
on the expected credit losses over the life of the asset. Both
lifetime and 12-months expected credit losses are calculated
on an individual basis. Collective assessment may be used to
determine a possible management overlay provision.

/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Measurement of ECL
The assets in the scope of the expected credit loss
impairment model are classified into three stages.
• Stage 1 includes assets with no significant increase
in credit risk.
• Stage 2 includes assets with significantly increased
credit risk since origination.
• Stage 3 includes assets that are credit impaired
and thus fulfil the definition of default.
Default is defined as a situation where the obligor is more
than 90 days-past-due or the obligor is considered unlikely
to pay its credit obligations for example due to the obligor’s
bankruptcy or distressed restructuring. The definition of
default is in line with the Group’s capital adequacy calculations
and risk management as well as with that required by
international regulators (European Banking Authority’s (EBA)
guidelines on the application of the definition of default under
Article 178 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013: EBA/GL/2016/07
and EBA/RTS/2016/06).
The provision for stage 1 is equivalent to the credit loss
expected for 12 months. For stages 2 and 3, the provision is
equivalent to the expected credit losses for the entire lifetime.
The Group calculates ECL based on three probability-
weighted scenarios to measure the expected cash shortfalls.
The net present value of the contractual cash flows of the
exposure are compared to the sum of the net present value of
expected future cash flows. If the contractual cash flows are
higher than the expected future cash flows, the difference is
recognised as an expected credit loss. The expected future
cash flows are discounted with the effective interest rate
(EIR). The fair value of collateral and received guarantees are
taken into account when calculating expected future cash
flows.
The key elements of ECL calculations are as follows:
PD: The probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of
default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen
at a certain time over the assessed period, if the exposure has
not been previously derecognised and is still in the portfolio.
The PD used in stage transition is defined on a client level.
The PD used to calculate the exposure’s expected credit
loss takes also into account the guarantees received, so that
the Finnish government PD is applied in the ECL calculation
instead.
EAD: The exposure at default is an estimate of the exposure at
a future default date, taking into account expected changes in
the exposure after the reporting date, including prepayments
of principal and interest, whether scheduled by contract or
otherwise, expected drawdowns on committed facilities, and
accrued interest from missed payments.
LGD: The loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising
in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based
on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and
those that the lender would expect to receive, including cash
flows from the realisation of any collateral.
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
When estimating the ECL, the Group considers three
scenarios. Each of these is associated with different PDs,
EADs and LGDs. When relevant, the Group’s assessment of
multiple scenarios also incorporates how defaulted loans are
expected to be recovered, including the probability that the
loans will cure and the value of collateral or the amount that
might be received for selling the asset. The maximum period
for which the credit losses are determined is the contractual
life of a financial instrument unless the Group has the legal
right to call it earlier.
Impairment losses and their reversals are accounted for and
disclosed separately from modification losses or gains that
are accounted for as an adjustment of the financial asset’s
gross carrying amount.
The accounting principles of ECL are summarised below:
• Stage 1: If there has been no significant increase in credit
risk since initial recognition, the provision for exposures is
based on the 12-month expected loss. The 12-month ECL is
calculated as the portion of the lifetime ECL that represents
the ECL that results from default events on a financial
instrument which are possible within the 12 months after
the reporting date. The Group calculates the 12-month
ECL allowance based on the expectation of a default
occurring in the 12 months following the reporting date.
These expected 12-month default probabilities are applied
to a forecast EAD and multiplied by the expected LGD and
discounted by an EIR.
• Stage 2: When the exposure has shown a significant
increase in credit risk since origination but is not credit-
impaired, the Group records a provision for lifetime
expected credit losses. The mechanics are similar to those
explained above, including the use of multiple scenarios,
but PDs and LGDs are estimated over the lifetime of the
instrument. The expected cash shortfalls are discounted by
their EIR.
• Stage 3: For assets considered credit-impaired, the Group
recognises lifetime expected credit losses. For these
exposures interest revenue is calculated by applying the
EIR to the amortised cost (net of provision).
• Purchased or originated credit impaired assets (POCI)
are financial assets that are credit-impaired on initial
recognition.
• Loan commitments: When estimating ECL for undrawn
loan commitments, the Group estimates the expected
portion of the loan commitment that will be drawn down
over its expected life. The ECL is then calculated based on
the present value of the expected shortfalls in cash flows
if the loan is drawn down, based on probability-weighting
of the three scenarios. The expected cash shortfalls are
discounted at an approximation to the expected EIR of the
loan.
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Significant increase in credit risk
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there
has been a significant increase in credit risk for exposures
since initial recognition on an individual basis by comparing
the risk of default occurring over the expected life between
the reporting date and the date of initial recognition. If one of
the following factors indicates that credit risk has increased
significantly, the instrument is transferred from stage 1 to
stage 2:
• Thresholds for a significant increase in credit risk compared
to the initial stage: a threefold (200%) increase in lifetime
probability of default compared to the initial, and a single
point in time (PiT) probability of default of a financial
instrument for the year in question is greater than 0.3%.
• Additional qualitative factors, such as forbearance on a
financial asset or watch list of counterparties.
• Financial assets with repayments that are more than
30 days past due.
Movements between stage 2 and stage 3 are based on
whether a financial asset is credit-impaired due to the
change in credit risk. A financial asset is impaired if there is
objective evidence of the impairment. An exposure will migrate
through the ECL stages as asset quality deteriorates. If, in a
subsequent period, asset quality improves and also reverses
any previously assessed significant increase in credit risk
since origination after a probation period and after fulfilment
of certain criteria, then the calculation basis for ECL reverts
from lifetime ECL to 12-month ECL. Transition from stage 1
to stages 2 and 3, and from stage 2 to stage 3 are immediate.
Transition from stage 2 to stage 1 and from stage 3 to stage
2 requires that the criteria for transition must be met for six
months before transition (probation period).
In the measurement of expected credit losses, the Group
includes forward-looking information and macroeconomic
scenarios in the model. The scenarios are the same as
those used in the Group’s annual financial planning and
stress testing. The macroeconomic projections cover
a three-year period and as no reliable macroeconomic
projections exceeding a three-year time horizon are available,
forward-looking adjustment will be limited to a three-year
period. Mainly three scenarios are used: base, optimistic and
adverse. Scenarios also include probability weights. The ECL
model consists of the following macroeconomic variables for
Finnish counterparties of financial assets; Finnish government
long-term rates, the development of residential housing prices
and unemployment rate. The projections are included in the
macroeconomic scenarios. For non-Finnish financial assets,
stress test scenarios published by the European Central Bank
are used.

/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Presentation of allowance for ECL in
the statement of financial position
Loss allowances for ECL are recognised in the income
statement with a corresponding charge to the statement of
financial position as follows:
• Financial assets classified at amortised cost: as a
deduction from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
• Debt instruments classified at FVOCI: no loss allowance
is recognised as a deduction from the gross carrying
amount of the assets in the statement of financial position
because the carrying amount of these assets is at fair
value. However, the loss allowance is recognised through
the other comprehensive income in the fair value reserve.
The accumulated loss recognised in the fair value reserve
is recycled through OCI to the income statement upon
derecognition of the financial assets.
• Finance lease receivables: as a deduction from the gross
carrying amount of the assets.
• Binding loan commitments: recognised in Other liabilities.
Write-off
Financial assets are written off, either partially or in full, when
the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering the
financial asset. This is generally the case when the Group
determines that the borrower or guarantor does not have
assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient
cash flows to repay the amounts subject to impairment. The
Group’s credit risks and credit risk management are further
discussed in Note 2 Risk management principles and the
Group’s risk position. If the amount to be written off is greater
than the accumulated loss allowance of the expected credit
losses, the difference is first treated as an addition to the
allowance that is then applied against the gross carrying
amount.
Financial assets that are written off could still be subject to
enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s
procedures for recovery of the amounts due. Subsequent
recoveries of amounts previously written off reduce the
amount of the expense in the income statement.

* The Group has collateral and guarantee arrangements that fully cover the stage 3 receivables as described in Note 2 Risk management principles and the Group’s risk position in
Section 6. Credit and counterparty credit risk. The Group’s management expects that all stage 3 receivables will be recovered and no final credit loss will emerge. Stage 3 receivables include EUR
2,286 thousand (EUR 1,926 thousand) of originated credit impaired receivables (Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired, POCI). Expected credit losses for the POCI receivables amount to EUR 2
thousand (EUR 3 thousand).
The increase in stage 3 receivables during the financial year was mainly due to the transition of one medium-sized entity to stage 3.

Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
MuniFin Group updated the macroeconomic scenarios
quarterly to take into account forward-looking information.
The amount of expected credit losses increased by EUR 14
thousand due to changes made in the parameters.
The Group has assessed the impact of general
macroeconomic situation to customer financing receivables
and credit risk. At the end of December 2024, the Group’s
management assessed again the need of additional
discretionary provision and decided to release additional
provision in full. It is assessed that the update to the model
used in estimating the probability of default — and the
resulting increase in expected credit losses and stage
transfers — already captures the need previously covered
by the additional provision for receivables with significant
increase in credit risk.
In June 2025, while the annual credit rating process was
still ongoing, the Group management assessed that despite
the decline in interest rates, some customers in the housing
sector were still experiencing difficulties with cash flow
sufficiency due to factors such as oversupply and higher
vacancy rates of the premises. The Group management
decided to make an additional discretionary provision of EUR
130 thousand based on a group level assessment.
At the end of December 2025, the Group management
reassessed the need for an additional discretionary provision
and decided to release the earlier group level provision and
record a new additional discretionary provision of EUR 242
thousand. The decision was based on the completion of
the 2025 credit rating updates and the assessment formed
regarding customers’ cash flow sufficiency for 2026. The
change in the additional discretionary provision was also
influenced by the update to the probability of default matrices
used in estimating default risk.
The additional discretionary provision relates to the balance
sheet item Loans and advances to the public and public sector
entities. The additional discretionary provision has not been
allocated to the contract level.
The total credit risk of MuniFin Group has remained low
and the amount of expected credit losses is still at low
level. Despite the decline in interest rates, some customers
in the housing sector continue to have difficulties in the
sufficiency of cash flow due to oversupply and a regional
underutilisation of the premises, among other things.
MuniFin Group’s customer exposures have zero risk weight
in the capital adequacy calculation as they are from Finnish
municipalities, joint municipal authorities, wellbeing services
counties, or involve a municipality, joint municipal authority,
wellbeing services county’s guarantee or a state deficiency
guarantee supplementing the real estate collateral. The
Group’s management estimates that all receivables will be
recovered in full and therefore no final credit loss will arise. On
31 December 2025, the Group had EUR 132,620 thousand
(EUR 13,449 thousand) in receivables due to the insolvency
of customers, for which the collateral realisation process is
ongoing or where credit receivables are due for payment
by the guarantor. Credit risk of the liquidity portfolio has
remained on a good quality level and the average rating of
debt securities in the portfolio was AA+ (AA+).

Forward-looking information
In the assessment of whether the credit risk of an
instrument has significantly increased (SICR) and in the
measurement of expected credit losses, forward-looking
information and macroeconomic scenarios are included
in the model. These macroeconomic projections cover
a period of 3 years and as no reliable macroeconomic
projections exceeding a three-year time horizon are
available, forward-looking adjustment will be limited to a
three-year period. Mainly three scenarios are used; base,
optimistic and adverse. Scenarios include probability
weights. The scenario probability weightings are
described in the adjacent table.

MuniFin Group has identified key drivers of credit losses
for each portfolio that share similar kinds of credit risk
characteristics and estimated the relationship between
macroeconomic variables and credit losses. The ECL model
consists of the following macroeconomic variables for Finnish
counterparties of financial assets: Finnish government
long-term interest rates, the development of residential
housing prices and unemployment rate. For non-Finnish
financial assets, stress test scenarios published by the
European Central Bank are employed in the model and
scenario parameters. Each variable covers an estimate
over a period of three years. The following table presents
the macroeconomic variables and their forecasts over
the three-year forecast period.

Scenario descriptions
Base scenario
Growth forecasts for the global economy have been slightly
revised upwards, as the impact of trade tensions is more
moderate than previously anticipated. The cyclical recovery
and the stability of the inflation outlook support the view that
the ECB has already reached the bottom of its rate-cutting
cycle ie. where ECB deposit facility rate is at 2.0%. Germany’s
infrastructure investments, along with significant euro
area-wide efforts in defense and security, are expected
to strengthen economic growth as the forecast period
progresses. Moderate monetary tightening is anticipated to
begin in 2027.
Large investment needs are increasing the demand for capital
and keeping government borrowing requirements high,
which is putting upward pressure on long-term interest rates.
The yield curve is expected to steepen in 2026. However,
due to monetary tightening and rising short-term rates, the
yield curve is expected to begin flattening again from 2027
onwards.
The recovery of Finland’s economy has been delayed, which
is reflected in weaker GDP growth in 2025, slower inflation,
higher unemployment, and faster public sector indebtedness
compared to earlier estimates. However, the significant
recovery in exports and investments is already supporting
growth, and the expected rebound in private consumption has
improved Finland’s growth outlook for 2026–2028. Cyclical
recovery along with investments in the green transition are
seen to accelerate GDP growth to 2% in 2026–2027, after
which the economy converges to its long-term growth
trajectory. Average yearly unemployment rate is expected
to peak at 9.4% in 2025 and remain elevated above 8% in
2026–2027.
The ratio of the public sector deficit to GDP will gradually
decline, but it will remain above 3% throughout the
forecast period. The government’s fiscal balance goals are
complicated by increasing defense spending and rising
interest expenses. Finland’s public debt ratio is expected to
reach 90% already at the end of the forecast period. In the
municipal sector, adjustment measures have taken effect
faster than anticipated, resulting in a smaller deficit than
previously estimated for 2025–2026. High personnel costs,
rising employment-related expenses, and weak revenue
growth are expected to slightly increase the deficit towards
the end of the forecast period. The forecast for wellbeing
services counties’ indebtedness has improved, likely reducing
their need for additional financing.
In the housing market, transaction volumes have already
increased, but prices have not yet begun to rise. Private-
sector new construction is unlikely to recover before 2027.
State-supported housing production will be constrained
in 2026–2027 by substantial cuts to interest subsidy loan
authorisations.

/
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Optimistic scenario
In the optimistic scenario, the economy is expected to
recover faster than in the baseline scenario. The Finnish
GDP is projected to grow 3.0% in 2026 and 2.8% in 2027.
Unemployment will start to decline in 2026 and fall to 7% in
2027. Consumer price inflation remains close to 2% over
the forecast period. Home price inflation is anticipated to
accelerate to 4.5% in 2026, followed by a 3.5% annual gain in
2027. Due to the faster-than-expected recovery in aggregate
demand, the ECB is anticipated to start raising interest rates
already in 2026.
Adverse scenario
In the adverse scenario, Europe’s security situation
remains uncertain, weakening consumers confidence and
investments. Geopolitical tensions in the Baltic Sea region
intensify, causing disruptions in land, sea, and air transport,
which in turn increases Finland’s country risk.
The ECB is forced to raise short-term interest rates as
inflation accelerates, driven by the end of Russian fossil
energy imports and increased European’s investments in
defense and border security. In nearly energy self-sufficient
Finland, inflation turns negative due to weak consumer
demand and government spending cuts.
Short-term interest rates rise due to inflation expectations.
Long-term rates increase as investors are concerned about
country risk and reduce their positions, but the direction of
rates reverses quickly as the outlook improves. The euro
weakens when markets focus on country risk and a potential
energy crisis and strengthens when the discussion shifts to
inflation and interest rate expectations.

credit losses to the forward-looking information assuming

Accounting policies
Forborne and modified loans
The Group sometimes makes concessions or modifications
to the original terms of loans or other receivables as a
response to the borrower’s financial difficulties, rather than
enforcing the collection of collateral. Forbearance measures
are concessions to original contractual payment terms
agreed at the customers’ initiative to help the customer
through temporary payment difficulties. Performing forborne
exposures include forborne exposures reclassified as
performing during their probation period or forbearance
measures made into a performing loan; all performing
forborne exposures are classified as stage 2. Loan
modifications due to reasons other than the customer’s
financial difficulties are not classified as forborne exposures;
such receivables are classified as stage 1. The Group
considers a loan forborne when such concessions or
modifications are provided as a result of the borrower’s
present or expected financial difficulties, and the Group would
not have agreed to them if the borrower had been financially
healthy; all such receivables are classified as stage 3.
Once a loan or other receivable has been classified as
forborne, it will remain forborne for a minimum 24-month
probation period. In order for the loan or other receivable to
be reclassified out of the forborne category, the customer has
to meet all of the following criteria:
• All of its loan facilities and other receivables have to be
considered performing.
• The probation period of two years has passed from the
date the forborne contract was considered performing.
• The Group has received regular payments of more than an
insignificant amount of principal or interest during at least
half of the probation period.
• The customer does not have any contract that is more than
30 days past due.
Forborne loans and payment delays are regularly reported
to the Group’s management as an indicator of anticipated
client payment ability/solvency. Accounting policies related
to derecognition due to substantial modification of terms and
conditions is described in Note 11 Financial asset and liabilities.
Non-performing and forborne exposures
Non-performing and forborne exposures refer to receivables
that are more than 90 days past due, other receivables
classified as risky and forborne exposures due to the
customer’s financial difficulties.

In 2025, loan forbearance measures were granted particularly to customers in the housing and real estate sector, whose underutilisation has increased because of intensified competition
for tenants. Payment delays were also observed in the same sectors. As a result of the granted repayment deferrals, the unpaid installments have mostly been deferred to the end of the loan
maturity, to be paid with the final installment, or to the current 5-year period if the loan is a state deficiency guaranteed interest subsidised loan. Forbearance measures were not applied to leasing

Geopolitical uncertainties or ESG related risks have had no direct impact on the Group’s customers or receivables.

Note 23. Intangible and tangible assets
Accounting policies
Intangible assets
An intangible asset is recognised in the statement of financial position only if it fulfils the
criteria for intangible assets that is for example that the Group has the control over the
asset, and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to
the asset will flow to the Group and the acquisition cost can be measured reliably. The initial
measurement is at cost. The acquisition cost includes all costs that are directly attributable to
preparing the asset for its intended use, including internal personnel costs. The recognised
intangible asset does not include costs of using the asset, staff training expenses or
administration and other overhead costs.
After initial recognition, an intangible asset is recognised at its cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment. Intangible assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over
3–8 years depending on the useful life of the asset. Depreciation begins when the asset is
available for use. At each reporting date, all intangible assets are reviewed for indications of
impairment and change in their useful lives. An intangible asset that is not yet available for use
is tested for impairment at least annually. Impairment testing is performed more frequently
if required due to any indication of impairment. The impairment charge is the difference
between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount of the intangible asset. The
recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs
to. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets whose cash flows are
largely independent of the cash inflows from other asset groups. As MuniFin’s operations
are treated as a single segment and the operations cannot be divided into smaller, fully
independent cash-generating units, the impairment is determined by considering MuniFin
as a single cash-generating unit. Depreciation and possible impairment is presented in the
income statement line item Depreciation on tangible and intangible assets.
Cloud computing arrangement
In cloud computing arrangements, such as software as a service (SaaS) arrangement, the
cloud vendor has the control over the asset and thus cloud computing arrangements cannot
be recognised as an intangible asset in the Group’s statement of financial position. However,
the implementation costs of the cloud computing arrangement may be recorded in the
statement of financial position as a prepaid asset under Accrued income and prepayments
and amortised as an expense over the period of the access to the software, but only if the
implementation costs consist of costs paid to the cloud vendor which are not distinct from the
access to the software. The implementation costs are not distinct when the implementation
service could only be performed by the cloud vendor, for example when the cloud vendor
agrees to customise the software by modifying the existing software code or writing new
code. All other expenses such as internal personnel costs, external project management
costs etc. are to be recognised as expenses when incurred.

Tangible assets
Tangible assets are recognised in the statement of financial position at historical cost, net of
accumulated depreciation and impairment.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost which is the amount equal to lease liability.
Right-of-use assets are presented under Tangible assets. Right-of-use assets are depreciated
over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. The right-
of-use assets the Group has leased consist of various items such as office space, cars, storage
units and parking facilities. The lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis. At each
reporting date, MuniFin Group assesses whether there is any indication that the right-of-use
assets may be impaired based on either internal or external sources of information. Typically, a
company’s decision to sub-let or vacate leased property indicates that the right-of-use asset
may be impaired. If impairment indicators exist, then MuniFin Group performs impairment test
and determines the level at which it carries out impairment testing – i.e., at the asset or cash-
generating unit level.
Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
The estimated useful lives are:
Office renovation costs: the lease term
Buildings: 25 years
Machinery and equipment: 5 years
IT equipment: 4 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each financial statement date and,
if necessary, adjusted to reflect the changes in the expected economic benefit. The Group
assesses at each reporting date whether there is any evidence of the tangible assets being
impaired. If evidence of impairment is identified, the recoverable amount is assessed for the
given assets. If the carrying amount of an asset item is greater than the recoverable amount, an
impairment loss is recognised in the income statement line item Depreciation on tangible and
intangible assets.

Accounting policy
Deferred taxes are recognised for temporary differences between the assets
and liabilities’ carrying amounts and taxable value as well as for unused tax losses
and unused tax credits. Deferred taxes in the Consolidated Financial Statements
consist of the release and transfer to equity of the voluntary credit loss provision
and depreciation difference recorded by the Parent Company. Deferred taxes are
recognised through profit or loss, except when they relate to items recognised
in other comprehensive income. In this case, the tax is recorded in the other
comprehensive income. Deferred taxes arise from financial assets measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income and corresponding changes in expected
credit losses, changes in own credit risk on financial liabilities designated at fair value
through profit or loss and Cost-of-Hedging.
Deferred tax liabilities and receivables are calculated based on the tax rate that is
anticipated to be in force at the time of the temporary difference being released.
MuniFin Group has applied the transitional rule for large scale domestic groups
regarding the international tax reform Pillar 2 since December 31, 2024. As a result,
the potential top-up tax due to the tax reform has been set to zero. Therefore,
the Group has not recorded any deferred tax assets or liabilities related to the reform
for the financial year ending December 31, 2025.

Note 32. Equity
Accounting policies
Equity consists of share capital, retained earnings and
reserves of equity (reserve fund, fair value reserve, own credit
revaluation reserve, Cost-of-Hedging reserve and reserve for
invested non-restricted equity).
Restricted equity
Share capital
The shares of the Parent Company, Municipality Finance
Plc, are divided into A and B shares. The two types are
equal in terms of voting rights and the distribution of profit.
Each share entitles its holder to one vote. The shares have
no nominal value. The acquisition of shares is restricted
through the consent and redemption clauses of the Articles
of Association. All issued shares have been paid in full.
Since September 2009, the amount of shares of the Parent
Company has been 39,063,798.
Reserve fund
Reserve fund is restricted equity referred to in Chapter 8,
Section 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act.
Fair value reserve
Fair value reserve of investments contains the fair value
changes of financial instruments at fair value through other
comprehensive income.
Own credit revaluation reserve
Own credit revaluation reserve contains the changes in
own credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value
through profit or loss.
Cost-of-Hedging reserve
Cost-of-Hedging reserve contains the impact of Cost-of-
Hedging of derivatives in fair value hedge accounting
Reserve for invested non-restricted equity
The proportion of payment made for shares, which is not
recorded in the share capital, is entered in the reserve for
invested non-restricted equity. In accordance with the
terms of the Parent Company’s 2009 share issue, the funds
received from MuniFin’s share issue in 2009 have been
recorded in the reserve for invested non-restricted equity.
The reserve for invested non-restricted equity, recognised
based on the share issue, is considered as a return of
capital at the time of possible distribution of profits, and
therefore MuniFin does not count the reserve for invested
non-restricted equity as an item for distributable funds. Based
on Article 4 of CRR, the reserve for invested non-restricted
equity is also considered a non-distributable item.
Accounting policies related to fair value reserve,
own credit
revaluation reserve and cost-of-hedging reserve are
disclosed in Note 11 Financial assets and liabilities.
Unrestricted equity
Retained earnings
Retained earnings contain the profit of previous periods and
profit for the period.

During the financial year 2025, the fair value change of debt securities was EUR 8,004 thousand (EUR 65,637 thousand). This was affected by the general decline in credit spreads in the markets,
which improved valuations. Although the rise in long-term euro market interest rates pushed valuations downwards, the positive impact of the decline in credit spreads was greater. Therefore, the
change in the value of debt securities remained positive in the financial year 2025.

During the financial year 2025, the change in fair value of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss of EUR 273,277 thousand (EUR -67,600 thousand) was particularly
affected by the increase in EUR market interest rates. The change in own credit risk amounted to EUR -77,669 thousand (EUR 137,202 thousand) during the financial year. The change was affected
by decrease in the Parent Company’s funding costs due to a general decrease in market credit spreads.

* MuniFin has collateral and guarantee arrangements that fully cover the stage 3 receivables as described in Note 2 Risk management principles and MuniFin’s risk position in Section 6. Credit
and counterparty credit risk. MuniFin’s management expects that all the stage 3 receivables will be recovered and no final credit loss will emerge. Stage 3 receivables include EUR 2,286 thousand
(EUR 1,926 thousand) of originated credit impaired receivables (Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired, POCI). Expected credit losses for the POCI receivables amount to EUR 2 thousand
(EUR 3 thousand).
The increase in stage 3 receivables during the financial year was mainly due to the transition of one medium-sized entity to stage 3.

Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
MuniFin updated the macroeconomic scenarios quarterly to
take into account forward-looking information. The amount of
expected credit losses increased by EUR 14 thousand due to
changes made in the parameters.
MuniFin has assessed the impact of general macroeconomic
situation to customer financing receivables and credit risk. At
the end of December 2024, MuniFin’s management assessed
again the need of additional discretionary provision and
decided to release additional provision in full. It is assessed
that the update to the model used in estimating the probability
of default — and the resulting increase in expected credit
losses and stage transfers — already captures the need
previously covered by the additional provision for receivables
with significant increase in credit risk.
In June 2025, while the annual credit rating process was
still ongoing, MuniFin’s management assessed that despite
the decline in interest rates, some customers in the housing
sector were still experiencing difficulties with cash flow
sufficiency due to factors such as oversupply and higher
vacancy rates of the premises. MuniFin’s management
decided to make an additional discretionary provision of EUR
130 thousand based on a group level assessment.
At the end of December 2025, MuniFin’s management
reassessed the need for an additional discretionary provision
and decided to release the earlier group level provision and
record a new additional discretionary provision of EUR 242
thousand. The decision was based on the completion of
the 2025 credit rating updates and the assessment formed
regarding customers’ cash flow sufficiency for 2026. The
change in the additional discretionary provision was also
influenced by the update to the probability of default matrices
used in estimating default risk.
The additional discretionary provision relates to the balance
sheet item Loans and advances to the public and public sector
entities. The additional discretionary provision has not been
allocated to the contract level.
The total credit risk of MuniFin has remained low and
the amount of expected credit losses is still at low level.
Despite the decline in interest rates, some customers
in the housing sector continue to have difficulties in the
sufficiency of cash flow due to oversupply and a regional
underutilisation of the premises, among other things.
MuniFin’s customer exposures have zero risk weight in
the capital adequacy calculation as they are from Finnish
municipalities, joint municipal authorities, wellbeing services
counties, or involve a municipality, joint municipal authority,
wellbeing services county’s guarantee or a state deficiency
guarantee supplementing the real estate collateral. MuniFin’s
management estimates that all receivables will be recovered
in full and therefore no final credit loss will arise. On 31
December 2025, MuniFin had EUR 132,620 thousand (EUR
13,449 thousand) in receivables due to the insolvency of
customers, for which the collateral realisation process is
ongoing or where credit receivables are due for payment
by the guarantor. Credit risk of the liquidity portfolio has
remained on a good quality level and the average rating of
debt securities in the portfolio was AA+ (AA+).

Forward-looking information
In the assessment of whether the credit risk of an
instrument has significantly increased (SICR) and in the
measurement of expected credit losses, forward-looking
information and macroeconomic scenarios are included
in the model. These macroeconomic projections cover
a period of 3 years and as no reliable macroeconomic
projections exceeding a three-year time horizon are
available, forward-looking adjustment will be limited
to a three-year period. Mainly three scenarios are
used; base, optimistic and adverse. Scenarios include
probability weights. The scenario probability weightings
are described in the adjacent table.

MuniFin has identified key drivers of credit losses for each
portfolio that share similar kinds of credit risk characteristics
and estimated the relationship between macroeconomic
variables and credit losses. The ECL model consists of the
following macroeconomic variables for Finnish counterparties
of financial assets: Finnish government long-term interest
rates, the development of residential housing prices and
unemployment rate. For non-Finnish financial assets, stress
test scenarios published by the European Central Bank
are employed in the model and scenario parameters. Each
variable covers an estimate over a period of three years. The
following table presents the macroeconomic variables and
their forecasts over the three-year forecast period.

Scenario descriptions
Base scenario
Growth forecasts for the global economy have been slightly
revised upwards, as the impact of trade tensions is more
moderate than previously anticipated. The cyclical recovery
and the stability of the inflation outlook support the view that
the ECB has already reached the bottom of its rate-cutting
cycle ie. where ECB deposit facility rate is at 2.0%. Germany’s
infrastructure investments, along with significant euro
area-wide efforts in defense and security, are expected
to strengthen economic growth as the forecast period
progresses. Moderate monetary tightening is anticipated to
begin in 2027.
Large investment needs are increasing the demand for capital
and keeping government borrowing requirements high,
which is putting upward pressure on long-term interest rates.
The yield curve is expected to steepen in 2026. However,
due to monetary tightening and rising short-term rates, the
yield curve is expected to begin flattening again from 2027
onwards.
The recovery of Finland’s economy has been delayed, which
is reflected in weaker GDP growth in 2025, slower inflation,
higher unemployment, and faster public sector indebtedness
compared to earlier estimates. However, the significant
recovery in exports and investments is already supporting
growth, and the expected rebound in private consumption has
improved Finland’s growth outlook for 2026–2028. Cyclical
recovery along with investments in the green transition are
seen to accelerate GDP growth to 2% in 2026–2027, after
which the economy converges to its long-term growth
trajectory. Average yearly unemployment rate is expected
to peak at 9.4% in 2025 and remain elevated above 8% in
2026–2027.
The ratio of the public sector deficit to GDP will gradually
decline, but it will remain above 3% throughout the
forecast period. The government’s fiscal balance goals are
complicated by increasing defense spending and rising
interest expenses. Finland’s public debt ratio is expected to
reach 90% already at the end of the forecast period. In the
municipal sector, adjustment measures have taken effect
faster than anticipated, resulting in a smaller deficit than
previously estimated for 2025–2026. High personnel costs,
rising employment-related expenses, and weak revenue
growth are expected to slightly increase the deficit towards
the end of the forecast period. The forecast for wellbeing
services counties’ indebtedness has improved, likely reducing
their need for additional financing.
In the housing market, transaction volumes have already
increased, but prices have not yet begun to rise. Private-
sector new construction is unlikely to recover before 2027.
State-supported housing production will be constrained
in 2026–2027 by substantial cuts to interest subsidy loan
authorisations.

Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Optimistic scenario
In the optimistic scenario, the economy is expected to
recover faster than in the baseline scenario. The Finnish
GDP is projected to grow 3.0% in 2026 and 2.8% in 2027.
Unemployment will start to decline in 2026 and fall to 7% in
2027. Consumer price inflation remains close to 2% over
the forecast period. Home price inflation is anticipated to
accelerate to 4.5% in 2026, followed by a 3.5% annual gain in
2027. Due to the faster-than-expected recovery in aggregate
demand, the ECB is anticipated to start raising interest rates
already in 2026.
Adverse scenario
In the adverse scenario, Europe’s security situation
remains uncertain, weakening consumers confidence and
investments. Geopolitical tensions in the Baltic Sea region
intensify, causing disruptions in land, sea, and air transport,
which in turn increases Finland’s country risk.
The ECB is forced to raise short-term interest rates as
inflation accelerates, driven by the end of Russian fossil
energy imports and increased European’s investments in
defense and border security. In nearly energy self-sufficient
Finland, inflation turns negative due to weak consumer
demand and government spending cuts.
Short-term interest rates rise due to inflation expectations.
Long-term rates increase as investors are concerned about
country risk and reduce their positions, but the direction of
rates reverses quickly as the outlook improves. The euro
weakens when markets focus on country risk and a potential
energy crisis and strengthens when the discussion shifts to
inflation and interest rate expectations.

credit losses to the forward-looking information assuming

Non-performing and forborne exposures
Non-performing and forborne exposures refer to receivables
that are more than 90 days past due, other receivables
classified as risky and forborne exposures due to the
customer’s financial difficulties.
Forbearances are concessions to the original contractual
payment terms agreed upon at the customer’s initiative,
aimed at helping the customer cope with temporary payment
difficulties. Performing forborne exposures are those that
have recovered from non-performing status during the trial
period or forbearance measures made into a performing loan;
all performing forborne exposures are classified as stage 2.
Loan modifications due to reasons other than the customer’s
financial difficulties are not classified as forborne exposures;
such receivables are classified as stage 1. MuniFin considers
a loan forborne when such concessions or modifications
are provided because of the borrower’s present or expected
financial difficulties, and MuniFin would not have agreed to
them if the borrower had been in good financial condition; all
such receivables are classified as stage 3.

for tenants. Payment delays were also observed in the same sectors. As a result of the granted repayment deferrals, the unpaid installments have mostly been deferred to the end of the loan
maturity, to be paid with the final installment, or to the current 5-year period if the loan is a state deficiency guaranteed interest subsidised loan. Forbearance measures were not applied to leasing
receivables.
Geopolitical uncertainties or ESG related risks have had no direct impact on MuniFin’s customers or receivables.

Note 19. Hedge accounting
The interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk of the
Company are managed by entering into derivative
transactions. According to the Market Risk Policy the
Group’s hedging strategy is to mainly hedge all material
foreign exchange and interest risks of financial assets and
liabilities with maturities exceeding one year. As a result,
foreign currency denominated items are translated into
euros and fixed rate and long-term reference rates are
swapped to floating interest rates with shorter terms. The risk
management principles related to the Company’s hedging of
market risk are described in more detail in the Consolidated
Financial Statements Note 2 Risk Management principles and
the Group’s risk position.
Company applies fair value hedge accounting to:
• Financial assets and liabilities and lease agreements
denominated in euros, where the plain-vanilla interest rate
of the hedged item has been swapped to a floating rate
using derivatives.
• Foreign currency denominated financial liabilities with fixed
interest rates, which have been hedged by exchanging the
principal into euros and the interest rate into a floating rate.
The Company applies fair value hedge accounting according
to IFRS 9 (one-to-one hedging or group of items hedging)
and according to IAS 39 (portfolio hedge accounting). The
Company does not apply cash flow hedge accounting. The
Company has documented the hedge relationships within
hedge accounting, and they comply with the Group’s risk
management objectives and strategy.
Accounting policies related to hedge accounting
are described in the Note 21 Hedge accounting in the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the following table, the hedged assets and liabilities are
presented according to balance sheet line items divided
into IAS 39 standard portfolio hedge accounting and IFRS
9 standard fair value hedge accounting, which is further
subdivided into whether hedging is subject to the separation
of the Cost-of-Hedging.

Note 27. Act on the Resolution of Credit Institutions (1194/2014)
MuniFin’s crisis resolution authority is the EU’s Single Resolution Board (SRB) and Finnish
Financial Stability Authority (FFSA). In November 2024, the SRB and the FFSA removed MuniFin’s
binding minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) as a result of changes
to the European Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) and corresponding national
legislation.
Under the revised framework, the MREL requirement no longer applies to credit institutions
subject to simplified obligations. Before the MREL requirement was lifted, MuniFin’s own funds
and eligible liabilities exceeded it multiple times, so change did not have a significant effect on
MuniFin’s operations.

Note 30. Fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities
Valuation framework
MuniFin has implemented a framework for the arrangements,
activities and procedures related to the MuniFin’s model risk
management. The purpose of the model risk management
framework is to ensure the effective management of model
risk and mitigation of fair value uncertainty, as well as to
ensure compliance with external and internal requirements.
The Company ensures that all aspects of the lifecycle of
valuation models (i.e. approval, design and development,
testing and maintenance, monitoring and execution)
are subject to effective governance, clear roles and
responsibilities and effective internal control.
The Company manages and maintains a model inventory
which provides a holistic view of all valuation models, their
business purpose and characteristics as well as their
applications and conditions for use. All approved valuation
models within the model inventory are subject to annual
review and re-approval by the Risk Management and
Compliance Management Team.
The Finance Management Team acts as a valuation control
group for MuniFin’s fair values and is responsible for the
final approval of the Company’s fair values for financial
reporting. The Finance Management Team monitors and
controls MuniFin’s valuation process and the performance
of valuation models, decides on the necessary measures
and reports to the Executive Management Team (EMT). The
Finance Management Team assesses whether the valuation
models and valuation process provide sufficiently accurate
information to be used in financial reporting and, based on the
information received, decides on possible adjustments to the
values generated by the valuation process.
The Company has implemented an efficient control and
performance monitoring framework with regards to its
valuation models, which aims to ensure the accuracy and
appropriateness of model output. Model performance
monitoring consists of four main controls:
• Counterparty valuation control (CVC)
• Fair value explanation
• Independent price verification (IPV)
• Independent model validation.
Counterparty valuation control (CVC) is performed daily
by Risk Management with the purpose to assess any
deviations in valuation model output compared to MuniFin’s
own earlier valuations and to counterparty valuations. Fair
value explanation process consists of a daily analysis and
explanation of the changes in fair values by Risk Management.
The independent price verification is performed monthly as a
part of MuniFin’s IPV process by a third party service provider.
The results of the counterparty valuation control, the fair value
explanation and independent price verifcation control are
reported monthly to the CFO and quarterly to the Finance
Management Team. The independent model validation is
performed annually for a subset of MuniFin’s valuation models
by a third-party service provider. The results of the model
validation are reported to the Finance Management Team.

Accounting policies requiring management
judgement and key uncertainty factors
related to estimates
The key assumptions made by the Company concern
key uncertainty factors pertaining to the future and the
estimates at the financial statement date which relate to
the determination of fair value. The level of management
judgement required in establishing fair value of financial
instruments for which there is a quoted price in an active
market is usually minimal. For the valuation of financial
instruments where prices quoted in active markets are not
available, the Company uses valuation techniques to establish
fair value. These valuation techniques involve some level of
management judgement, the degree of which will depend on
the observability of the input parameters and the instrument’s
complexity. The Company has estimated that the most
material management judgement to determination of fair
value relates to:
• the choice of valuation parameters and modelling
techniques in order to derive the fair value of financial
instruments
• determing the hierarchy level to which a financial
instrument should be classified, when the valuation is
determined by a number of inputs, of which some are
observable, and others are unobservable.
In addition the Company has defined key estimates related to
determination of fair value as following:
• judgement on which market parameters are observable
• applying the input data, assumptions and modelling
techniques in particular, where data is obtained from
infrequent market transactions
• the fair value adjustments incorporating relevant risk
factors.
Determination of fair value
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell the
asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The
fair values of financial instruments are determined on the
basis of either price quotations obtained from functioning
markets or, if such markets do not exist, by applying valuation
methods. A market is deemed to be functioning if price
quotations are readily and consistently available, and they
reflect real market transactions executed in a consistent
manner between independent parties. If a quoted price in
an active market is not available for a financial instrument,
the Company uses valuation techniques standard across
the industry and for which sufficient information is available
to determine the fair value. The chosen valuation technique
should include all factors that market participants would
consider in pricing the financial instrument. Observable inputs
are used as widely as possible in the valuation technique and
the use of unobservable inputs minimised.
IFRS 13 classifies valuation models and techniques into three
different categories: market approach, income approach
and cost approach. The Company applies the market-based
approach when the instrument has a functioning market and
public price quotations are available.
Income approach is applied when valuation is based, for
example, on determining the present value of future cash
flows (discounting). Valuation methods take into account
an assessment of the credit risk, discount rates used, the
possibility of early repayment and other factors that influence
the fair value of a financial instrument reliably. The Company
does not use the cost approach for the valuation of any of its
financial instruments.
/
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
The Company classifies fair values using a fair value hierarchy
which is divided into level 1, 2 and 3 inputs, which reflects the
significance of the inputs used in the fair valuation.
Level 1
Inputs that are quoted market prices unadjusted for identical
instruments in active markets that the Company can access
at the measurement date. The market is considered to
be active if trading is frequent and price data is regularly
available. These quotes (mid) represent the price for an
orderly transaction between parties in the market on the
valuation date.
Level 2
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that
are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e.
derived from prices). This level includes instruments valued
using quoted prices for identical instruments in markets that
are considered less than active or other valuation techniques
in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly
observable from market data.
Level 3
Level 3 includes all instruments for which the valuation
technique includes inputs that are not observable and
the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the
instrument’s valuation. Unobservable inputs are used only to
the extent that no relevant observable inputs are available.
If the valuation input is illiquid, extrapolated or based on
historical prices, it will be defined as a level 3 valuation input as
these types of inputs are per definition unobservable.
The Company uses the market approach for the valuation of
investment bonds of the liquidity portfolio. Level 1 instruments
mainly contain the Company’s investments in debt securities.
For all level 1 assets, the Company uses market prices
of identical assets. The Company does not use prices of
comparable assets.
/
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
MuniFin applies different models in order to derive the fair
values of certain types of instruments. The choice of base
models and model calibration depends on the complexity of
the financial instrument and the observability of the relevant
inputs. In line with market practice, the primary choice of base
model is contingent on the underlying instrument classes.
Additionally, instruments are broken down into different
categories granular enough to capture the most important
risk drivers and different kinds of calibration techniques.
The specific combination of base models and the different
assumptions and calibration techniques are documented.
The Company’s fair value instruments that are subject to
mark-to-model valuation techniques consist of four asset
classes:
• Interest rate instruments
• FX instruments
• Equity-linked instruments
• Hybrid instruments.
All valuation models, both complex and simple models,
use market prices and other inputs. These market prices
and inputs comprise for example interest rates, FX rates,
volatilities, correlations. The Company applies different types
of valuation inputs depending on the type and complexity
of the instruments and the related risk factors and payoff
structures. MuniFin’s defined categorisation to the fair value
hierarchy levels is based on the analysis performed with
regards to the valuation input, stress testing (reasonable
possible alternative assumption) and model complexity. If
the inputs used to measure fair value are categorised into
different levels on the fair value hierarchy, the fair value
measurement is categorised in its entirety on the level of the
lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
Approach has decribed more detailed in section Sensitivity
analysis of unobservable inputs.
The Company uses the income approach for many of its
financial instruments. Level 2 instruments comprise mainly
OTC derivatives, the Company’s issued plain-vanilla financial
liabilities and the Company’s lending agreements. Level 3
includes financial instruments with equity and FX structures
due to the impact of the utilisation of inputs such as dividend
yield on the fair value measurement. In addition, level 3
contains some interest rate structures with long maturities
(exceeding e.g. 35 years) or in currencies where the interest
rate curve is not considered liquid for all maturities. Due to
the nature of MuniFin’s funding portfolio (i.e. issued bonds
are hedged back-to-back), if a swap that is hedging an issued
bond is designated as a level 3 instrument, then the issued
bond will also be designated as a level 3 instrument.
Separation of fair value changes related to changes
in own credit risk
For the separation of fair value changes related to changes
in own credit risk, the Company applies income approach.
For the majority of financial liabilities designated at fair value
through profit or loss, no market price is available as there is
no active secondary market.
The methodology for separation of own credit risk utilises:
• MuniFin’s benchmark curves
• cross currency basis spreads
• credit spreads of MuniFin’s issued debt securities on the
primary market as input.
Based on the aforementioned inputs, valuation curves can be
constructed for various reporting periods for valuing financial
liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. By
comparing fair values calculated using the trade date and
reporting date, the impact of change in own credit risk on the
fair value of the financial liability can be determined.

Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Credit valuation adjustments
Fair value of financial instruments is generally calculated
as the net present value of the individual instruments.
This calculation is supplemented by counterparty level
adjustments. The Company incorporates credit valuation
adjustments (CVA) and debit valuation adjustments (DVA)
into derivative valuations. CVA reflects the impact of the
counterparty’s credit risk on fair value and DVA MuniFin’s
own credit quality. The CVA that measures counterparty
credit risk and MuniFin’s own DVA are both taken into
account when calculating credit risk exposures arising
from derivative counterparties. The CVA is estimated for
each derivative counterparty by calculating the Company’s
expected positive exposure throughout the maturity of the
derivative portfolio, taking into account the probability of
default and the estimated amount of loss in the possible event
of default. Input data for the calculation is based on the terms
of CSA agreements, generally accepted assumptions in the
markets on the loss given default and expected probabilities
calculated based on credit default swaps (CDS). Similarly,
the DVA is determined on the basis of MuniFin’s expected
negative exposures, taking into account the probability of
MuniFin’s own default and the loss given default, in addition
the Company calculates Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA)
for those derivative contracts that do not hold cash collateral
arrangements (derivatives with MuniFin’s customers).
Initial recognisition
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument
on initial recognition is usually the transaction price. If the fair
value on initial recognition differs from the transaction price
and the fair value is determined based on unobservable inputs
with significant impact on the valuation, then the financial
instrument is initially measured at fair value and adjusted by
the difference between the fair value on initial recognition
and the transaction price (Day 1 gain or loss). The difference
is amortised on a straight-line basis throughout the lifetime of
the contract. Day 1 gain or loss for MuniFin’s is presented in
the table below.

Sensitivity analysis of unobservable inputs
Sensitivity analysis illustrates the impact of the reasonably
possible assumptions on the fair value of financial instruments
for which valuation is dependent on unobservable inputs.
In order to assess the significance of the level 3 valuation
inputs to the fair value of an instrument, the MuniFin has
defined a materiality (significance) threshold to the fair value
of an instrument and pre-defined the stress level that is
assessed to be a ‘reasonable possible alternative assumption’
to the valuation input. In addition, in order to assess the
significance, the Company uses a materiality threshold for
comparing the impact of the unobservable input on the fair
value relative to the notional. If the impact is below threshold,
the financial instrument is classified as a level 2 instrument.
The assessment of the fair value hierarchy classification will
be performed using a “Waterfall” principle meaning that the
input which is assumed to be the most material valuation
input, in combination with the complexity of the model, will be
assessed first. As a result of the assessment, the Company
has identified level 3 instruments for which the impact of
unobservable inputs on the fair value is material.
The unobservable inputs used by the Company
The unobservable inputs are used in the valuation only to the
extent that relevant observable inputs are not available.
Correlation parameters
If the fair value of a financial instrument is impacted by
more than one unobservable input, correlations describe
the relationship between these different underlyings. For
example for equity-linked instruments, correlation has a
significant impact on fair value, if the underlying is dependent
on more than one equity. For FX-linked cross currency
and interest rate derivatives, correlations exist between
FX rates of currencies, which impact the fair value of the
financial instrument. If a high correlation exists between the
unobservable inputs, it will lead to an increase in fair value. A
low correlation between the unobservable inputs will lead to
a decrease in fair value. MuniFin has financial instruments, in
which correlation is a significant unobservable input, mainly in
funding products and their hedging instruments.
Volatility (extrapolated or illiquid)
A financial instrument whose value is based on a stochastic
model will typically require the volatility of the underlying
instrument as an input. The Company uses Dupire local
volatility model as its stochastic valuation model. For interest
rate volatilities at-the-money implied volatility is used. For FX
and equity components (both equity indices and single stock
prices), a full volatility surface is used that includes quotes for
different strikes and maturities. The Company uses implied
volatility for the majority of the equity-linked structures. In
some cases no liquid volatility surface exists. In these cases,
a proxy volatility is typically used instead. The majority of
the financial instruments, which use volatility as a significant
unobservable input, are the Company’s funding products and
their hedging instruments.
/
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Dividend yield
The main drivers influencing the fair value of equity-linked
instruments are dividend yield and volatility of the underlying
equities. Equity-linked instruments require a dividend
parameter as an input to the fair value. The equity component
is modelled using the Dupire local volatility model where the
underlying equity prices are assumed to follow a random walk.
During the comparison period, MuniFin had equity-linked
financial instruments in which dividend yield as a significant
unobservable input, within its funding portfolio and their
hedging instruments.
Interest rates (extrapolated or illiquid)
The Company uses unobservable inputs in defining fair value
of complex interest rate structures. The future cash flows
and their fair value is determined by using forward rates and
volatilities of the underlying interest rates using Hull-White
stochastic model. Financial instruments whose payoffs are
dependent on the value of complex interest rate structures
are categorised on level 3. The majority of these instruments
requiring extrapolated or illiquid interest rates as input are the
Company’s funding products and their hedging instruments.
The changes in fair value of the unobservable inputs on level
3 is not necessarily independent, and dynamic relationships
often exist between the unobservable inputs and the
observable inputs. Such relationships, where material
to the fair value of a given instrument, are controlled via
pricing models or valuation techniques. The Company uses
stochastic models to generate a distribution of future cash
flows of each financial instrument. The future cash flows are
then discounted back to present to get the fair value of each
financial instrument. The stochastic models used by the
Company are Hull-White model and Dupire volatility model.
The following table illustrates the effect that changing
one or more of the assumptions in the unobservable input
(reasonably possible alternative assumptions) could have
on the valuations at the financial statement date. However,
it is unlikely in practice that all unobservable inputs would
simultaneously move to extremes of reasonably possible
alternatives used in the sensitivity analysis. Hence, the impact
of the sensitivity analysis disclosed in this Note is likely to
be greater than the true uncertainty in the fair values at the
financial statement date. Furthermore, the disclosure is
neither predictive nor indicative of future movements in the
fair value of financial instruments.
Estimates of fair value are appropriate and applied according
to the Company’s valuation policy but the use of different
methodologies or assumptions could lead to different
measurements of fair value. For fair value measurements
on level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions to
the reasonably possible alternative assumptions would
have the following effects: as of 31 December 2025, these
assumptions could have increased fair values by EUR 6.4
million (EUR 13.6 million) or decreased fair values by EUR 6.4
million (EUR -13.4 million).

Transfers in the fair value hierarchy
MuniFin assesses the appropriateness and correctness of the categorisation with regards
to the fair value hierarchy classification at initial recognition and at the end of each reporting
period. This is to determine the initial classification of a level 1, 2 and 3 instrument and the
subsequent potential transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy. A transfer
between the fair value hierarchies can occur for example when a previously assumed
observed input requires an adjustment using an unobservable input. The procedure is the
same for transfers into and out of the fair value levels. Transfers between the levels are
considered to take place at the end of the quarter during which an event causes such a
transfer or when circumstances change.
During 2025, transfers totalling EUR 352,290 thousand from level 2 to level 1 in the line item
Debt securities. During 2025, there were no transfers from level 2 to level 3.

been recorded in the reserve for invested non-restricted equity. The reserve for invested
non-restricted equity, recognised based on the share issue, is considered as a return of capital
at the time of possible distribution of profits, and therefore MuniFin does not count the reserve
for invested non-restricted equity as an item for distributable funds. Based on Article 4 of CRR,
the reserve for invested non-restricted equity is also considered a non-distributable item.

Auditor’s Report
for the year ended 31 December 2025
Opinion
In our opinion
• the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group’s financial
position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with IFRS Accounting
Standards as adopted by the EU
• the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company’s financial
performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing
the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.
Our opinion is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee.
What we have audited
We have audited the financial statements of Municipality Finance Plc (business identity code
1701683-4) for the year ended 31 December 2025. The financial statements comprise:
• the consolidated balance sheet, income statement, statement of comprehensive income,
statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, which include material
accounting policy information and other explanatory information
• the parent company’s balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and notes.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland.
Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with
the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the non-audit services that we have provided to
the parent company and group companies are in accordance with the applicable law and
regulations in Finland and we have not provided non-audit services that are prohibited under
Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided are
disclosed in note 8 to the Financial Statements.

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
/
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Our Audit Approach
Overview
• Overall group materiality: €50 million, which represents 0,10% of total assets
• The group audit scope encompassed all group companies
Key audit matters:
• Valuation of certain level II and III financial instruments held at fair value
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material
misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management
made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that
involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed
to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material
if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for
materiality, including the overall group materiality for the consolidated financial statements
as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to
determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures
and to evaluate the effect of misstatements on the financial statements as a whole.
Overall group materiality
€ 50 million (previous year € 50 million)
How we determined it
0,10% of total assets
Rationale for the materiality
benchmark applied
We chose total assets as the benchmark because, in our
view, key drivers of the business and determinants of the
credit institutions’ profit potential are best reflected in the
balance sheet.
The benchmark determined is within the range of acceptable
quantitative materiality thresholds in auditing standards.

How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit, taking into account the structure of the Municipality
Finance Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the group
operates.
We are auditors of both the parent company and the subsidiary.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls,
including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that
represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
/
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
Key audit matter in the audit of the group How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of certain level II and III financial instruments held at fair value
Refers to note Note 2 - Risk management principles and the Group’s risk position, Note 3 -
Interest income and expense, Note 5 - Net result on financial instruments at fair value through
profit or loss, Note 6 - Net result on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive
income, Note 11 - Financial assets and liabilities, Note 12 - Fair values of financial assets and
liabilities, Note 14 - Offsetting financial assets and liabilities, Note 20 - Derivative contracts,
Note 21 - Hedge accounting.
The share of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balance
sheet is significant, and the valuations of financial instruments at fair value hierarchy level
2 and especially level 3 are mainly based on internal valuation methods and unobservable
inputs, which means that the valuations involve management judgment.
Changes in market conditions have a significant impact on the fair value of financial
instruments, highlighting the importance of a well-functioning valuation process. Important
areas in valuation of financial instruments held at fair value relate to:
• the framework and policies relating to valuation and valuation models;
• internal controls related to fair value price adjustments, the accuracy of data used,
fair value adjustments, fair value hierarchy levels, and the governance and monitoring of
valuation models; and
• note disclosures relating to financial instruments.
We have formed an understanding and tested the appropriateness and functioning of
the valuation process for financial instruments, as well as the controls and valuation models
that are key to the process.
We have assessed the appropriateness of the accounting policies and valuation methods
related to financial instruments.
We have tested the correctness of the valuation of Company’s financial instruments by
performing an independent valuation focusing on significant items measured at fair value
and assessed the appropriateness of the assumptions and management estimates applied
in the valuations.
We have assessed the appropriateness of the note disclosures relating to the valuation of
financial instruments.
We have no key audit matters to report with respect to our audit of the parent company financial statements.
There are no significant risks of material misstatement referred to in Article 10(2c) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 with respect to the consolidated financial statements or the parent company
financial statements.

Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the
Managing Director for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are
responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance
with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU,
and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in
accordance with the laws and regulations governing the
preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply
with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the
Managing Director are also responsible for such internal
control as they determine is necessary to enable the
preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors
and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing
the parent company’s and the group’s ability to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating
to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the
going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention
to liquidate the parent company or the group or to cease
operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good
auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice,
we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting
a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than
for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to
the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent
company’s or the group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
/
Municipality Finance Plc • Annual Report 2025
Report of the Board of Directors Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company’s Financial Statements
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’
and the Managing Director’s use of the going concern basis
of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent
company’s or the group’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the parent company or the group to
cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events so that the financial statements
give a true and fair view.
• Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient
appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial
information of the entities or business units within the
group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and review of the audit work performed for
purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible
for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a
statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate
with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the
current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a
matter should not be communicated in our report because
the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably
be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.

responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the report of the Board of Directors and the
information included in the Annual Report, but does not
include the financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon. We have obtained the report of the Board of
Directors prior to the date of this auditor’s report and the
Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after
that date.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the
other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information identified above
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. With respect to the report of the Board
of Directors, our responsibility also includes considering
whether the report of the Board of Directors has been
prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions.
In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of
Directors is consistent with the information in the financial
statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been
prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other
information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s
report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of
this other information, we are required to report that fact. We
have nothing to report in this regard.
Other Statements
We support that the financial statements should be adopted.
The proposal by the Board of Directors regarding the use of
the profit shown in the balance sheet is in compliance with
the Limited Liability Companies Act. We support that the
Members of the Board of Directors of the parent company
and the Managing Director should be discharged from liability
for the financial period audited by us.
