Achieving a positive result in the completed
fiscal year was a significant step in Alisa
Bank’s growth story. We grew stronger than
the market in both personal and business
financing as well as deposits.
The profit before non-recurring items and taxes for the
2023 financial year was EUR 0.8 million, and the profit
before taxes was EUR 0.3 million. Due to the dicult
economic situation, we did not manage to strengthen the
company’s equity according to our plans. This held back
the growth of our loan portfolio in the second half of the
year, as well as the tightening of our lending in certain
industries. At the same time, we also wanted to maintain
our strong capital adequacy level. Because of this, the
second half’s earnings, EUR 8.3 million, were slightly below
the level of the first half and the profit before taxes in the
second half was EUR -0.1 million.
Development of business
Our loan portfolio grew to EUR 173 million by the end of
2023 before reducing provisions for credit losses.
The growth of corporate customer business was limited by the
challenging operating environment of SMEs and our caution in
credit risk management in industries with increased credit risk.
However, our loan portfolio for corporate financing increased
by 31 percent to EUR 41 million in the fiscal year. The quality of
the corporate loan portfolio remained good and stable in the
second half of the year. Due to successful risk management, we
avoided significant credit losses in the second half of the year
in corporate lending. As the economic operating environment
improves, we believe that our strong competitiveness will create
a basis for our growth in the future as well.
In personal customers, our credit base remained unchanged
at EUR 132 million. In the market, the demand for consumer
financing continued to grow moderately, but our growth
was limited by capital restrictions and our tightened credit
policy. In the second half of the year, we invested especially
in strengthening our profitability in consumer financing and
succeeded in improving the net interest income despite the
slight increase in financing costs.
At the end of December, our deposit base was EUR 269 million.
The structure and sources of our deposit base diversified: the
share of time deposits increased and we managed to increase
the collection of deposit funds through our digital channels.
CEO’S REVIEW
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
7
In November, we opened a savings account product on
Europe’s leading deposit comparison portal Raisin in
Germany, and further in December we also opened this
channel in the Netherlands. After the end of the financial
year, our deposit base has strengthened strongly, reaching
EUR 388 million at the end of January. As the interest rate
rose, our financing costs increased somewhat, and at the
end of the financial year, the average interest rate on the
deposit portfolio was 2.7 percent. At the same time, the
bank’s interest margin on liquid assets clearly increased with
the increase in liquid assets.
The number of active customers continued to grow and was
57,500 at the end of the year. Customer satisfaction also
remained at a high level in the second half of the year (Net
Promoter Score 45). We achieved the industry’s top reviews
(4.3/5) in app store reviews.
We continued to implement the cost-saving program,
with which we aimed for significant savings in the bank’s
fixed costs. We have succeeded in cost savings and our
operational eciency developed positively during the review
period, with the cost-to-income ratio in the review period
being 68 percent. We will enter 2024 at a lower level of fixed
costs compared to 2023.
In June, we started oering banking services (BaaS)
integrated into financial management systems in
cooperation with Talenom Plc. The services enable
Talenom’s business customers to have easy-to-use banking
services integrated directly into the financial management
software. At the beginning of the year, we also announced
an online shopping payment solution for SMEs with Paytrail,
Finland’s largest payment intermediary. Both projects
support our strategy in utilizing digital channels for new
customer acquisition.
Market environment and risk position
During 2023, the general economic situation deteriorated
significantly. Inflation and rising interest rates increased
consumers’ living costs considerably. At the same time,
especially the strong contraction of the construction sector
led to unprecedented levels of bankruptcies of SMEs.
We expect inflation and the weakening of consumers’
purchasing power to subside and the operating conditions
of SMEs to gradually strengthen during 2024. The interest
rate is also expected to decline during 2024, which supports
the recovery of the economic situation.
The bank’s liquidity position is very strong, with liquid assets
of EUR 135 million. The predicted drop in the interest rate
creates challenges for increasing deposit assets and interest
margin on deposits, but thanks to our diversified deposit
base, we will also be able to generate a significant return on
liquid deposit assets in the future.
The bank’s solvency remained at a good level of 15.2
percent, however, falling short of the target of 16 percent.
Despite the challenging market environment, we were
extremely successful in the bank’s credit risk management.
Credit losses fell to 2.9 percent of the loan portfolio.
Outlook for the future
Achieving a positive result in 2023 was a significant step
in Alisa Bank’s growth story. In the future, growth and
improving profitability will require strengthening the bank’s
own capital and thereby increasing the credit base. We
have actively promoted measures to strengthen the capital
structure and we believe that we will be able to inform
about these during the first half of 2024.
During 2024, our business will focus more on banking
and financial services for SMEs. In proportion to the
committed capital, invoice and working capital financing
of SMEs is the most profitable business for the bank. We
continue to invest in the development of BaaS services
together with financial administration operators, which will
significantly increase our customer potential in SMEs. In our
development projects, we also focus on the development
of smooth banking and financial services for SMEs. Our
competitiveness in this customer segment is strong, and as
the economic situation gradually improves, we believe that
our growth will continue to be strong in corporate financing.
Despite the challenging operating environment, we look
optimistically at the coming year. I thank our customers,
sta and shareholders for the past year.

During 2024, our business
will focus more on banking and
financial services for SMEs.

Alisa Bank is a Finnish digital bank for a smoother everyday life serving personal and business
customers with their day-to-day finances, and oering a competitive interest return on deposits.
Services are uncomplicated, clear and responsible.
The strategy is based on four cornerstones: superior customer experience, operational
eciency, profitable products for selected customer segments, and financial solidity, domesticity
and responsibility. The focus of Alisa Bank’s strategy is the utilization of digital channels in
new customer acquisition. In the 2023 financial year, the company’s service selection included
personal and SME customers lending as well as payment services and savings account products.
The company’s service selection is constantly being developed.
Key events in the financial year
The selection of digital services distribution channels have been developed during the financial
period on a wide range of fronts:
• A credit card was launched for customers in January 2023, and payment transaction accounts
in February.
• At the beginning of the year, an e-commerce payment solution for SMEs was announced with
Finland’s largest payment intermediary, Paytrail.
• In April, the bank’s name changed to Alisa Bank. At the same time, renewed versions of the
mobile and online bank were announced.
• In June, the provision of banking services integrated into financial management systems (BaaS)
started in cooperation with Talenom Plc. The services enable Talenom’s business customers to
have easy-to-use banking services integrated directly into the financial management software.
• The selection of deposit products and digital channels diversified during the financial period.
The growth of the bank’s balance sheet requires the strengthening of equity capital. Due to the
unfavorable market situation, the measures aimed at strengthening the capital structure did
not proceed according to the planned schedule during the financial period, which is why lending
had to be limited, taking into account the bank’s capital adequacy goal. The growth of the loan
portfolio was also limited by caution in lending related to the weakened economic situation,
especially for business customers.
At the end of 2022, the company launched a cost-saving program. In connection with the program,
the company held change negotiations at the end of autumn, which included the entire personnel
of the group’s parent company in Finland. As a result of the change negotiations, 3 positions

The development of the Finnish economy has been weak, and inflation and rising interest
rates have challenged economic growth.
Inflation and the rise in interest rates weakened towards the end of the year, but both
consumers’ and companies’ confidence in the economy remained low. The year-on-year
increase in consumer prices in Finland was 6.2 percent in 2023, with the ECB’s long-term target
being 2 percent. The number of bankruptcies in Finland increased in 2023 to a record for the
entire 2000s. During 2023, the ECB raised all three key interest rates by 2.0 percentage points.
Economic development will continue to be weak in 2024 as well, but the slight recession is
predicted to be short-lived. Due to economic uncertainty, the employment rate has remained
fairly stable in Finland. The employment rate in 2023 was 73.6% and the unemployment rate
was 7.2%. The impact of the recession is also mitigated by the strengthening of purchasing
power that takes place at the same time due to last year’s significant salary increases and the
beginning of the fall in inflation. The market’s inflation expectations are starting to approach
the ECB’s target. When inflation slows down, interest rates also fall.
In Finland, consumer loans were granted 2.5 percent more than the previous year and the
growth of household deposits decreased to 2.7 percent from a year ago. With the increase in
interest rates, deposit rates also saw an t increase after a gap of years.

the development of the bank’s net interest income. Fee income and expenses increased from

Alisa Bank operates in a constantly changing market environment, which subjects the
company to risks caused by changes in the business environment and the company’s own
operations. Risk-taking is managed with principles and limits approved by the company’s
Board of Directors. Alisa Bank has defined a capital adequacy management process the
aim of which is to secure the adequacy of the company’s risk tolerance in relation to all the
material risks of its operations.
Risk management
Risk management refers to actions aimed at systematically surveying, identifying, analysing
and preventing risks. The objective of risk management is to:
• ensure the suciency of our own assets in relation to risk positions;
• maintain the financial result and the variation in valuations within the set objectives and
limits;
• price risks correctly to reach sustainable profitability.
The main areas of risk management are: credit risk, market risk including interest rate risk,
liquidity risk and financial risk, and strategic and operational risks.
Principles and organisation
The company’s Board of Directors has primary responsibility for the Group’s risk
management. The Board of Directors confirms the principles and responsibilities of risk
management, the Group’s risk limits and other general guidelines according to which the risk
management and internal control are organised. The aim is to manage risks through risk
assessments and measures carried out on the basis of the assessments, systematic follow-
up, and analysis of the operating environment and the market.
The aim of the risk control function is to promote systematic and proactive risk management
that allows the company’s business to be developed in a safe manner. In the company’s
organisation the Risk control function operates directly under the supervision of the CEO and
reports to the Board of Directors, CEO and other members of the management.
Alisa Bank’s risk management strategy is based on the objective, business strategy, risk
management policy and guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors for the company, and
risk reporting on key business areas. Alisa Bank focuses on retail banking operations and
oers selected banking and financial services to both personal and business customers
through its own balance sheet and through its partners. The company does not have
customer or investment risk concentrations that exceed its financial capacity.
The Board of Directors sets the level of risk appetite by approving risk strategies for each
risk area and the necessary risk limits and monitoring thresholds. The implementation of
the risk strategy is regularly monitored through the management and reporting of risk limits
and monitoring thresholds, which are carried out independently of the business area. The
company maintains its capital adequacy at a safe level. The company’s capital adequacy and
risk tolerance are strengthened by profitable business activities, and also by debt and equity
instruments that increase own funds. The Board of Directors is kept regularly informed
about the dierent risks of the company and their levels. The Board of Directors also
approves the authorisations and framework for risk-taking by defining permissible risk limits
for credit and market risks. Within the authorisations, the responsibility for day-to-day risk
monitoring and control rests with the senior management. The risk reporting practices meet
the requirements set for risk management, taking into account the nature and scope of the
company’s operations. Independent control functions have been established in the company
to ensure eective and comprehensive internal control.
Independent functions:
• Risk control function
• Compliance function responsible for ensuring compliance with the regulations
• Internal Audit function.
Risk management, ensuring regulatory
compliance and internal audit
The Risk Control function oversees daily business operations and compliance with the risk
limits granted to the business units, as well as compliance with risk-taking policies and
guidelines. The Risk Management function reports its observations to the Management
Team and the company’s Board of Directors. The independent Risk Management function is
responsible for ensuring and monitoring that the company’s risk management is adequate
in relation to the nature, scope, diversity and risks of the company’s business, and that all
new and material risks not previously identified are brought within the scope of the risk
management of the company’s business areas.
The purpose of the Compliance function is to ensure compliance with regulations in
the company by supporting the senior management and the business units in applying
the provisions of the law, ocial regulations and internal guidelines. The Compliance
function also participates in identifying, managing and reporting on any risks of insucient

compliance with regulations. The Risk Management and Compliance functions report directly
to the CEO.
The Internal Audit assesses the functioning of the Group’s internal control system, the
appropriateness and eciency of the functions and compliance with instructions. It does this
by means of inspections that are based on the internal audit action plan adopted annually by
the Board of the company.
Risk position
Alisa Bank’s business risks mainly consist of credit risk as well as operational risks and market
risk, which mainly consists of the interest rate risk of the bank’s financial balance.
The most significant risks in the near term are related to the uncertainties of the financial
operating environment, such as the development of interest rates and inflation, which
weaken the purchasing power of households and challenge the profitability and willingness
of SMEs to invest. Uncertainties can be reflected in Alisa Bank’s business as an unfavourable
development of volumes and credit losses. The company has no significant liabilities related
to Russia. The eects of the Russian war of aggression on Alisa Bank’s business are indirect.
During Alisa Bank’s second year of operations, the growth of the credit portfolio decreased
clearly compared to the previous year, and the relative credit risk position has remained
stable. Alisa Bank’s customers are both private and SME customers. After ending peer-to-
peer and crowdfunding activities, thanks to improved competitiveness, the company has
systematically targeted lending towards customers with a lower credit risk. Due to the
distributed customer base, there are no individual significant customer risks. At the end of
the financial year, the company had one exposure, where the loan amount exceeded 10
percent of Tier 1 own funds; the loan is secured by financed sales invoice receivables.. The
loan portfolio before the reduction of credit loss reservations was EUR 172.9 million at the
end of the financial year.
The amount of non-performing loans in the credit base has increased due to increased
bankruptcies in corporate financing during the review period. At the end of the review period,
the amount of non-performing loans was EUR 7.2 million (6.6). The NPL ratio, which describes
non-performing receivables in relation to all loans and receivables, was 4.2 (4.0) percent at
the end of the review period. At the end of the review period, there were EUR 0.4 million in
non-performing forbearance loans, and EUR 0.7 million of healthy forbearance loans. Loan
receivables with a payment delay of more than 30 days but less than 90 days were 3.5 (2.6)
percent of the entire loan portfolio. The proportion of overdue payments of more than 90
days was 3.0 (3.6) percent. In the comparison period, most of the insolvent loans consisted
of foreign loans.
Market risk mainly consists of the interest rate risk of the banking book and a minor currency
risk. The interest rate risk of the financial balance mainly consists of the dierences between
the interest rate linkages and maturities of assets and liabilities. The company currently
has less than a fifth of its loan base in longer fixed-rate loans, and the share is constantly
decreasing. The new lending is mainly at floating rates and tied to the 3 month Euribor. Strong
changes in market interest rates emphasize the importance of interest rate risk management.
The company constantly monitors the development of the interest rate risk through, for
example, the sensitivity analysis of changes in the current value of the balance sheet and net
interest income. If the interest rate level were to rise by two percentage points, the economic
value of the company’s own funds would increase by 1.9 per cent due to the positive profit
development If interest rates were to fall by two percentage points, the economic value of
own funds would fall by 2.3 per cent. If interest rates were to rise by two percentage points,
it would have an estimated annual positive impact on net interest income of approx. EUR 1.3
million. If interest rates were to fall by two percentage points, the estimated negative annual
impact on net interest income would be approx. EUR -1.3 million.
Capital adequacy management
Alisa Bank has defined a capital adequacy management process the aim of which is to
secure the adequacy of the company’s risk tolerance in relation to all the material risks of
its operations. In order to achieve this objective, Alisa Bank identifies and assesses all risks
relevant to its operations and, based on these, calibrates its risk tolerance to correspond
with Alisa Bank’s overall risk position. The capital adequacy management process plays a key
role in defining the company’s overall risk position.
The internal capital requirements determined through the capital adequacy management
process are based on the capital requirements of Pillar I of capital adequacy regulation and
risks not included in Pillar I, such as the interest rate risk in the banking book and business
risk. In its internal assessment process, the company estimates the amount of capital that is
sucient to cover also those unexpected losses that arise from risks not included in Pillar I.
The Board of Directors confirms the risk strategies and sets target levels for capital that
cover all material risks arising from business operations and from changes in the external
operating environment. The company’s capital adequacy management is the responsibility
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
15
of the Board of Directors, which also sets the risk limits for the company’s operations. Every
year, the Board of Directors reviews the risks related to the company’s capital adequacy
management, the capital plan and the limits set for the risks.
Capital adequacy and own funds
In the capital adequacy calculation Alisa Bank uses the Standardised Approach for the credit
risk calculation and the basic indicator approach for operational risks.
Alisa Bank Group’s total capital ratio was 15.2% and common equity tier 1 ratio were
12.0%, exceeding the total capital requirement for banks (10.5%). The bank´s total capital
requirement consists of a minimum capital requirement (8.0%) in accordance with Pillar
I and an additional capital requirement (2.5%) in accordance with the Act on Credit
Institutions. The system risk buer requirement of 1 percentage point set by the Financial
Supervisory Authority will enter into force on April 1, 2024. The requirement was set for
Finnish credit institutions in order to strengthen the risk-bearing capacity of the banking
sector.
At the end of the review period, the group’s capital structure was strong and consisted of
core capital (CET 1) and secondary capital (Tier 2). The group’s own funds (TC) were EUR 22.3
million: primary capital (T1) EUR 17.7 million was entirely common equity Tier 1 ratio (CET1)
and secondary capital (T2) EUR 4.6 million consisted of debenture loan.
A binding requirement for a leverage ratio of 3% entered into force as part of the updated
Capital Requirement Regulation on 28 June 2021. Alisa Bank´s leverage ratio was 5.8% at the
end of the review period.

In the resolution plan, a minimum requirement for own funds and deductible liabilities (MREL
requirement) has been set for the company, which consists of a requirement based on total
risk, which is 8 percent, and a requirement based on the total amount of exposures used in
the calculation of the minimum leverage ratio, which is 3 percent.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio and stable funding
Liquidity risk can be defined as a disparity in the balance of incoming and outgoing cash flows.
The risk may materialise if the company is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall
due. The company’s main liquidity risks arise from the maturity mismatch between borrowing
and lending.
Sucient liquidity is ensured by the limit set by the company’s Board of Directors to the
company’s cash assets. The company prepares for the repayment of future debts by limiting
new lending in the upcoming years as necessary, thereby ensuring its liquidity position. The
company’s liquidity remained stable and on a very good level during 2023.
The Group’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio was 689% at the end of the review period, with the
minimum requirement being 100%. Of its liquidity buer, 100% consisted of Level 1 assets
with a very high liquidity; the buer consists of a deposit in Bank Of Finland.
Net stable funding ratio was 199.9% at the end of the reporting period, with the minimum
requirement being 100%. The company has no issued bonds. The majority of fundraising
consists of retail deposits, i.e. deposits from individuals and SMEs.

In 2023, we achieved a positive result, but due to the unfavorable market situation, the
measures aimed at strengthening the capital structure did not proceed according to the
targeted schedule during 2023.
The uncertainty of the operating environment and the company’s capital structure continue
to challenge the earnings development in 2024. Likewise, the expected decrease in interest
rates will have a slightly weakening eect on the bank’s result. In preparation for these, we
have adjusted the company’s cost structure during the second half of 2023.
We believe that we will be able to implement the actions to strengthen equity during the first
half of 2024. If this happens, the total income will increase in 2024 compared to 2023, and
the result before non-recurring items and taxes for the financial year 2024 is estimated to
be profitable. However, the result for the first half of 2024 before one-o items and taxes is
estimated to be slightly loss-making.
The target for the group’s total capital ratio is 16 percent.

* In the 2023 financial statements, corrections have been made for the following items against the accumulated profits of 2023. The 2022 results of Fellow Finance Deutschland GmbH and Lainaamo Oy changed by a total
of -18 thousand euros after the publication of the 2022 results due to the final closing of the accounts. The balance sheet was found to contain a deferred tax receivable 127 thousand euros from the time before Alisa
Bank was formed, which cannot be utilized. There was 116 thousand euros left in the balance sheet from the old share-based incentive system, which should have been written o in 2022 at the latest. If the corrections
had been made to the 2022 income statement, the 2022 result would have improved by a total of 16 thousand euros. The rest of the corrections would have been recorded against the accumulated profits of 2022. In
other changes, there is also 101 thousand euros from the share reward systems that were dissolved in 2023. There is also an adjustment to the share capital of previous financial periods (3 thousand euros).

G1. Accounting principles for the consolidated financial statements
Basic information on the company
Alisa Bank Plc (“Alisa Bank”) is a new Finnish digital bank that makes everyday life easier. The
company changed its name from Fellow Pankki Oyj to Alisa Pankki Oyj on April 21, 2023. The
new name better matches the company’s vision to be the smoothest everyday digital bank for
ordinary Finns and for small and medium-sized companies that need flexible financing.
The Alisa Bank Group consisted of the parent company Alisa Bank Plc and its wholly owned
subsidiaries Mobify Invoices Oy, Lainaamo Ltd, Fellow Finance Sp. z o.o. (sold 30 May 2023),
Fellow Finance Estonia OÜ, Fellow Finance Deutschland GmbH and Fellow Finance Česko s.r.o.
In December, the boards of Alisa Bank and Lainaamo approved the merger plan, according to
which Lainaamo plans to merge with the parent company by the end of April 2024. There is
no active business in Lainaamo.
Alisa Bank has been authorised by the Financial Supervisory Authority to engage
in credit institution operations. In Germany, it has a credit intermediation licence
(Kreditvermittelungslizens). Its subsidiary Lainaamo Ltd is registered in the creditor register
maintained by the Regional State Administrative Agency for Southern Finland. Alisa Bank Plc
oers its services to Denmark across the border as enabled by its license for credit institution offers its services to Denmark across the border as enabled by its license for credit institution
operations.
Alisa Bank Plc is listed on the main list of the Nasdaq Helsinki. Alisa Bank Plc’s head oce is listed on the main list of the Nasdaq Helsinki. Alisa Bank Plc’s head office
is located at Pursimiehenkatu 4 A, 00150 Helsinki, Finland. The company’s home country is
Finland and its domicile is Helsinki. The legal form of the company is a public limited company.
Copies of the Financial Statements and Interim Reports are available on the Bank´s website
www.alisapankki.fi.
Basis for preparation of the financial statements
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IFRS
(International Financial Reporting Standards), approved for application in the EU, and IAS
(International Accounting Standards) valid at the end of 2021, together with their respective
SIC (Standing Interpretations Committee) and IFRIC (International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee) interpretations. The notes to the consolidated financial
statements also include information required by Finnish accounting and limited liability
company legislation and the supplementary requirements of authorities´ requirements.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared for a period of 12 months
from 1 January to 31 December 2023. The accounting policies apply to 2023 and 2022. The
comparative figures for 2022 presented in this financial statement are not fully comparable
as a result of the changed business model resulting from the merger. The figures from
January 1st to April 1st, 2022 are the figures of the Fellow Finance group, and in that case the
business model and earning logic were dierent.business model and earning logic were different.
The figures of the consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros
unless otherwise indicated, and the figures are rounded to the nearest thousand, and
therefore the sum of individual figures may deviate from the presented total sum. The
consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the operating and
presentation currency of the Company and the Group.
New accounting principles
In the reporting period, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets consisting of right-of-
use assets are presented separately in the notes in accordance with IFRS 12 regulations. In
addition, in accordance with IAS 1, the accounting principles present the essential principles
from the company’s own point of view and dierences related to management’s judgment from the company’s own point of view and differences related to management’s judgment
and estimates are clarified in the standard. Otherwise, in the preparation of the financial
information, the same preparation principles and calculation methods have been followed
as in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending on
December 31, 2022.
Consolidation principles
In addition to the parent company, the consolidated financial statements include all the
companies in which Alisa Bank Plc has control (subsidiaries). Alisa Bank Plc has control in
a company if it is exposed to, or has rights to, the variable returns of an investee, and can
aect the amount of returns it receives by using its power related to the investee. Control affect the amount of returns it receives by using its power related to the investee. Control
arises based on voting power.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted if necessary to correspond with the
principles applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Segment reporting
Alisa Bank has only one reportable operating segment. The reported segment covers the
entire group and the segment figures are consistent with the figures of the Alisa Bank Group
and the management’s reporting.
Currencies and foreign Group companies
The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the operating l and
presentation currency of the parent company. The importance of international operations
to the group’s financial position is minor. During the accounting period, the group had active
business operations abroad in Germany, Denmark and Poland. Company in Poland was sold
at the end of May.
In the consolidated financial statements, the income statements of foreign subsidiaries
are converted into euros at the average rate of the financial year, and balance sheets are
converted at the exchange rate of the balance sheet date. The dierence in average exchange converted at the exchange rate of the balance sheet date. The difference in average exchange
rates resulting from dierent exchange rates in the comprehensive income and balance sheet rates resulting from different exchange rates in the comprehensive income and balance sheet
is recognised in other comprehensive income. The conversion dierences arising from the is recognised in other comprehensive income. The conversion differences arising from the
consolidation of foreign subsidiaries and from post-acquisition cumulative changes in equity
items are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Financial assets and liabilities
In connection with the initial recognition, the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are
measured and classified in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
Classification of financial assets
The Group’s following financial assets measured at amortised costs:
• Cash and cash equivalents
• Claims on credit institutions
• Claims on the public and public sector entities
Alisa Bank has no financial assets to be recognized at fair value through comprehensive
income or financial assets to be recognized at fair value through comprehensive income.
The classification and measurement of financial assets are based on the business model and
an assessment of cash flow characteristics (SPPI test).
Assessment of business models
Alisa Bank has defined the business models it applies to financial instruments based on
their intended purpose. The business model reflects how a group of financial instruments is
managed in a business unit in order to meet financial objectives. The business model is not
assessed on an individual instrument basis; instead, it is based on classes of financial assets
grouped by the management. The business models defined by Alisa Bank depend on how
well the company manages a financial asset class and whether the management intends
to hold financial assets to collect cash flows, for trading, or both. According to the business
model applied to financial assets by Alisa Bank, financial instruments are managed in order
to collect contractual cash flows.
The solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) test
The objective of the SPPI test is to evaluate the contractual cash flow characteristics of a
cash asset, and to pass the SPPI test, cash flows must be solely payments of principal and
interest. Alisa Bank assesses the contractual terms of financial assets in order to determine
whether they pass the SPPI test.
If the contractual terms of the financial assets contain other terms that are not related to the
primary loan arrangement and that do not consist only of principal payment and payment of
interest on the remaining principal, the financial assets will be measured at fair value through
profit or loss. If a financial asset does not pass the SPPI test, the agreement terms must cause
a greater than minor exposure to risks or volatility in contractual cash flows. Alisa Bank’s
financial assets pass the SPPI test and their contractual terms meet the SPPI criteria.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if the item is held as part of a business model
that aims to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the cash
flows are solely payments of principal and interest. Such items in Alisa Bank include loans to
customers and purchased peer-to-peer loan portfolios.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost are initially recognised at fair value inclusive
of expenses immediately caused by the acquisition, such as loan broker commissions.
Fee income directly related to lending is charged only for a part of business loans. Their
importance is minor and therefore they are not included in the fair value of the financial
asset, but are recognized as commission income.
28
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
After initial recognition, the items are measured at amortised cost using the eective interest After initial recognition, the items are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate method. This refers to the interest rate at which the future payments that are expected
to become payable or receivable during the financial instrument’s expected exercise period
are discounted at the financial instrument’s net book value. The book value is adjusted by a
credit loss provision using the expected credit loss measurement model (see next section on
impairment of financial assets).
Reclassification and derecognition of financial assets
Financial instruments are reclassified only if a business unit’s business model changes
substantially. Financial assets and liabilities are recorded according to the trading date.
Previously recorded profits and losses are not modified retroactively.
A financial asset is derecognised from the balance sheet only when the contractual rights to
the asset’s cash flows cease to exist, the contract is terminated, or the asset is transferred to
another party and the transfer fulfils the requirements of derecognition.
Financial assets and liabilities shall be oset and presented in net terms on the balance sheet Financial assets and liabilities shall be offset and presented in net terms on the balance sheet
only when the Company has a legally enforceable right to set o the recognised amounts and only when the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and
intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultane
-
ously. There are no oset items in the consolidated balance sheet.ously. There are no offset items in the consolidated balance sheet.
Classification of financial liabilities
The Group’s following financial liabilities are classified and measured at amortised costs:
• Liabilities to the public and public sector entities
• Debt securities issued to the public
• Subordinated liabilities
The company has no financial assets to be recognized at fair value through comprehensive
income.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company must derecognise a financial liability or part of it from its balance sheet only if
the liability has ceased to exist, in other words when the obligation specified in the contract
is either discharged or cancelled or expires. Alisa Bank derecognises financial liabilities when
the obligation specified in the contract is discharged.
Impairment of financial assets
The impairment model applied by the Company is based on calculating expected credit
losses (ECL). In the Company, expected credit loss calculation is applied to financial assets
measured at amortised cost, the most substantial part of which is loan receivables from
customers. Impairments also concern o-balance sheet commitments, such as unused customers. Impairments also concern off-balance sheet commitments, such as unused
credit facilities related to overdraft facilities. A simplified impairment model is applied to
accounts receivable.
The key components of the model based on expected losses are assessing substantial
increases in credit risk, and the the main factors in calculation of expected credit loss. The
calculation model used by the Company is based on the historically verified credit risk of
loans by risk class, historically verified quantitative factors that correlate increases in credit
risk, and estimates provided by a forward-looking macroeconomic model.
Expected credit losses (ECL) are calculated using the following formula with weighted
probabilities: EAD (amount of exposure at the time of default when realisation of collateral is
included) * PD (probability of default) * LGD (loss % of exposure). The ECL is an indicator of
the Company’s estimate of how much less cash flow it will receive on the loan than it should
under the contract.
A three-stage model is used to determine credit losses. In the first stage, the likelihood that
the debtor will experience payment issues within the following 12 months is estimated.
Stage 1 includes items where credit risk is estimated not to have materially increased after
initial recognition or the credit risk of the item is estimated to be low. If the debtor’s credit
risk has materially increased after initial recognition, expected credit loss is estimated for
the entire duration of the contract (stage 2). Assets in stage 3 are assets with impaired value
regarding which matters have already come to light that will have a negative impact on
future cash flows, including the insolvency of the counterparty.
The interest income on financial assets is presented for gross principal for financial assets in
stages 1 and 2, and for net principal, i.e., after provisions, for items in stage 3.
29
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Evaluation of substantial increase in credit risk
A key component of the ECL model is the analysis of counterparties’ credit risks and changes
in credit risks that take place after a loan is granted. For individual loans, the Company
monitors various quantitative factors, and macroeconomic trends that are estimated to be of
significance in evaluating default risk. The most significant quantitative factor is the delay in
payments. In addition, for business customers, e.g. information about the company’s payment
behavior and delays elsewhere than in Alisa Bank. In these estimates, factors that are
accessible without unreasonable expenses and eort are generally considered. In the event accessible without unreasonable expenses and effort are generally considered. In the event
of a substantial increase in credit risk, receivables are classified based on the increase in the
risk level of the loan receivable to stages 2 and 3.
Characteristics of loans classified as stage 2
If a loan’s credit risk has increased substantially since the loan was issued, the exposure’s
risk level is raised to stage 2. In stage 2, the expected credit loss of the exposure or loan is
estimated for the entire exercise period. The following criteria indicate that credit risk has
increased substantially:
• The payments on a receivable are delayed by more than 30 days, for non-technical reasons.
• Significant changes in the counterparty’s financial position, such as a substantial
deterioration of creditworthiness and financial status.
• Forbearance i.e. a concession or arrangement for liability granted by the bank, when the
customer has or is likely to have repayment diculties.customer has or is likely to have repayment difficulties.
• Other characteristics that have a substantial impact on credit risk or the value of collateral.
Characteristics of loans classified as stage 3
Individual loans whose values have verifiably declined are recognised in stage 3. One or
several events have come to light with respect to the counterparty that will have a negative
impact on future cash flows. These can include one of the following, for example:
• Payments (repayment or interest) are delayed by more than 90 days.
• The debtor’s bankruptcy or liquidation, or other significant financial diculties.The debtor’s bankruptcy or liquidation, or other significant financial difficulties.
• The debtor is declared non-performing. A forborn loan moves to stage 3 when the bank
assesses the debtor as non-performing.
Evaluation of elevated credit risk and default
In the Company, the application of elevated credit risk and default criteria are primarily based
on (in addition to the above-mentioned criteria) the delay in credit repayment, i.e., the number
of days of delay. Technical past due situations are not considered in the evaluation of payment
delay. A technical past due situation can be considered to have occurred if it results from
an error or system error of the Company, including failure of the payment system, delay in
allocation of the payment on the customer’s account, or any other similar situation.
With respect to exposures, the Company applies the insolvency definition in relation to all
the borrower’s payment obligations, meaning that if there are defaults for one exposure,
then all exposures to that debtor should be considered defaulted. The Company applies
product-specific, euro-denominated thresholds to the volume of the default.
The debtor is classified as defaulted when the following conditions are met:
• More than 90 days have passed since the end of default status
• No default criteria are valid at the time of review
• In the case of forbearance, a recovery period of one year applies when the debtor returns
to non-default status
In order to evaluate the elevated credit risk associated with larger loans (business financing),
the Company regularly monitors other factors that can cause credit risk to increase in
addition to delayed payment, including substantial changes in the company’s financial
position, delays in payment of purchase invoices, and changes in external credit ratings
or changes in collateral situation. For these, the Company uses the monitoring services of
credit information registers, which provide alerts on defaults and changes in credit rating
of credit customers. The Company reviews the situation of the credit portfolio regularly
(delayed payments, negative changes in creditworthiness, notified customer defaults,
collateral shortfalls and setting of additional collateral), and updates the estimated increase
in credit risk for these loans, if necessary.
Forbearance is always an indication of a significant increase in credit risk. Forbearance is
a concession or arrangement for liability granted by the bank when the customer has or is
likely to have repayment diculties.likely to have repayment difficulties.
Calculation model for expected credit losses
Expected credit losses is an estimate, with weighted probabilities, of the dierence between Expected credit losses is an estimate, with weighted probabilities, of the difference between
the following cash flows: contractual cash flows of the exposure – the cash flows that
the bank expects to receive from a contract. The following formula is used to define the
expected credit loss: ECL (expected credit loss) = PD (probability of default) * LGD (total loss
when realisation of collateral is included) * EAD (amount of exposure at the time of default
when realisation of collateral is included).
30
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
PD, LGD and EAD are evaluated separately for each contract and for each forthcoming year
during the lifetime of each evaluated contract. These three components are multiplied
together. The income received for each upcoming year (stages 2 and 3) or for only the first
year (stage 1) is discounted at the time of reporting and added together. The discount rate
applied in the ECL calculation is the eective interest rate of the repayment plan under the applied in the ECL calculation is the effective interest rate of the repayment plan under the
original contract.
Determining the probability of default
The probability of default (PD) is the likelihood that the borrower will default on its future
obligations within the following 12 months. The probability is defined separately for the
subsequent years during the lifetime of the loan. For stage 2 and 3 loans, the annual
probability of default is considered for the entire lifetime of the loan, while for stage 1 loans,
the probability is considered only for the first year.
For consumer loans and corporate loans, the starting point for the PD percentage is defined
as the proportion of non-performing loans of the loans historically issued by the company
in each risk category, taking account of the payment history and the amount of time that
the loan has already been repaid at the time of reporting. The PD figures are updated every
six months. A high overall number of issued loans allows the PD percentage to be evaluated
reliably for each risk category.
In addition, in the PD evaluation of stage 2 loans, the debtor’s increased likelihood of default
at the time of reporting on the basis of the debtor’s payment delay at the time, taking into
account all the debtor’s loans and any payment arrangements that have been agreed upon, is
taken into account.
Amount of exposure at the time of default
The amount of exposure associated with a receivable at the time of default is defined as the
unpaid principal of the receivable and the interest accrued at the time of reporting. A portion
equivalent to the collateral coverage ratio of the collateral connected to the receivable is
deducted from this value.
The collateral coverage ratios of the collateral of the receivable are estimated in accordance
with separate guidelines on the measurement of collateral, and these are updated regularly.
Receivables with collaterals in Alisa Bank exist mainly in corporate financing.
Furthermore, for credit facility-type receivables, an estimate of the portion of the debtor’s
unused credit facility that the debtor will draw down during the following year is added to
the exposure associated with the receivable. These o-balance sheet exposures and the the exposure associated with the receivable. These off-balance sheet exposures and the
associated credit loss provision are calculated and reported separately.
Eects of macroeconomic developments on the probability of lossesEffects of macroeconomic developments on the probability of losses
The determination of the final PD percentage also takes into account the impact of a
forward-looking macroeconomic model. In the applicable macroeconomic model, the key
variable is the gross domestic production and the unemployment rate.The basis of future
development estimate is the forecasts of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The
Company evaluates macroeconomic trends and forms three scenarios based on them: a
basic, negative and positive scenario. The scenarios estimate the probability with which the
macroeconomic variable that correlates with the default risk of the target market performs
as expected in the future. The eects of the scenarios on the PD percentage based on risk as expected in the future. The effects of the scenarios on the PD percentage based on risk
class are weighted in accordance with the Company’s view.
Definition of total loss in a default situation
Loss given default (LGD) determines the total loss in a payment default situation.
The most important variables that influence the calculation model with respect to LGD are
the likely sale price of non-performing loans to collection agencies based on contracts that
are in force with agencies, an evaluation of repayments of loans as a result of collection
measures, and the payment delay on the loan at the time of reporting.
Application of the loss allowance model
The probability of losses from stage 1 loans is defined by risk category and adjusted by the
weighting of the macroeconomic scenario model. The probability of losses and the overall
expected loss given default are applied to the cash flow statement of the loans for the next
12 months, which is discounted to the present value.
In stage 2, the probabilities of credit losses are first determined by risk category, after
which they are adjusted by the weighting of the macroeconomic scenario model, and by the
coecient reflecting the observed increase in default risk. The probability of losses and the coefficient reflecting the observed increase in default risk. The probability of losses and the
overall expected loss given default are applied to the loans’ discounted cash flow statement
for the entire exercise period.
In stage 3, the loans’ probability of loss is 100 per cent. The exercise periods of non-
performing loans are evaluated and the cash flows, which are adjusted by the overall
expected loss, are discounted to the present value.

ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The results produced by the calculation model are reported regularly in the Group’s
Management Team and Board of Directors. The Group’s financial administration together
with the Group risk management evaluates credit risks and maintains the calculation model.
Recognition of actual credit losses
A loan is recognised as an actual credit loss when it is likely that the corresponding amount
will no longer be obtained. Generally, the credit losses of unsecured loans are recognised
when the receivable falls due and the loan is terminated (generally when the payment delay
exceeds 90 days), after which the receivable is sold to a collection agency. Alternatively, a
credit loss can be recognised when the debtor is declared insolvent, for example due to filing
an application for debt restructuring, or due to other circumstances on the basis of which
the debtor is declared insolvent. The credit losses of secured receivables are recognised
no earlier than when the collateral has been realised and allocated to the receivable. Even
then, the final receivable is not necessarily recognised as a credit loss if a payment plan has
been set up for it. Even though the receivable is recognised as a credit loss, the collection will
still continue as post-collection. After the recognition of the credit loss of an individual loan,
the loan in question is no longer included in the calculation of expected credit losses, and
therefore, impairment recognition is no longer carried out on it.
Group income and expesese
The group’s income consists of net interest income, net fee and commission income, net
income from investing activities and other operating income.
Interest income and interest expenses
Interest income mainly consists of granted loans, liquidity reserve income and to a small
extent from peer-to-peer lending business. Interest expenses consist of customer deposit
interest and other fundraising interest.
Interest income and expenses arising from financial assets and liabilities are essentially
recorded using the eective interest method. Fees that form a significant part of the eective recorded using the effective interest method. Fees that form a significant part of the effective
interest rate on financial assets or liabilities, such as loan brokers commissions, are recognised
using the eective interest method on the income statement under net interest income. using the effective interest method on the income statement under net interest income.
Commission income and expenses
Commission income mainly consists of granted loans. According to the nature of the service,
the fees are recognised either over time or at one point in time, as a rule, on a performance
basis, when control over the performance obligations of the services has been transferred
to the customer.
Account management fees and the continuous commission for loans are recognised
as income over time. In these services, the customer benefits from the service as it is
produced. Fees for payment reminders are recognised as revenue at one time. A credit loss
provision is applied to account management fees and fees for payment reminders because
the receipt of these fees is subject to uncertainty.
The opening fee income, which is closely related to the loan granting transaction, is
collected only in part of the corporate loans. Their importance is minor and therefore they
are recognized as commission income when the loan is withdrawn.
Additionally, the company collects other fees for additional services used by the borrower,
such as changes in the repayment plan. These are charged to the borrower, as a rule, for
the loan when the borrower changes the payment program or is added to the next loan
repayment bill as a separate fee.
Fee expenses consist of, among other things, from external data sources utilized in the
lending and loan management process and from bank charges of customer reserve
accounts in the peer-to-peer lending business.
Investment income
Recurring income from investments, valuation profit and losses and sales profit and losses
are recorded as investment income. In addition, exchange rate income and expenses are
recorded in this group.
Other operating income
Income that does not fall under the previous items is recognised as other operating income.
Recurring other operative income for the bank consists of the service where the bank
produces integrations of banking services with financial management systems.

Intangible and tangible assets
Intangible assets
Intangible assets mainly consist of internally created information systems, related
development work and intangible assets related to customer relationships recorded in the
balance sheet in connection with business acquisitions. Intangible assets are recognised
in the balance sheet at cost if their acquisition cost can be reliably measured and if it is
probable that the intangible asset will produce future economic benefits. Expenses that were
recognised in accordance with the requirements of IAS 38 Intangible Assets with respect to
the own work portion related to IT projects were capitalised under data systems.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful economic
lives. Amortisation periods of intangible assets is 3–5 years.
The Group evaluates the amortisation periods and amortisation methods at least at the end
of each financial year. The amortisation is commenced when an asset is ready to be used. The
unamortised acquisition cost of an asset is fully amortised in one single step if it is deemed
that the intangible asset is no longer of benefit to the Group. If the benefit is deemed to have
declined substantially in relation to the unamortised acquisition cost, then an impairment is
recognised.
Separately acquired intangible assets are measured upon initial recognition in the accounts
at acquisition cost. After the initial recognition, intangible assets are recognised at acquisition
cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. With the exception
of capitalised development costs, internally generated intangible assets are not capitalised,
and expenses related to them are reflected in profit or loss for the period in which the
expenses were incurred.
Goodwill
The goodwill generated in business combinations is recorded in the amount by which the
transferred consideration exceeds the fair value of the acquired net assets. Goodwill is tested
annually and when an event or change in circumstances shows that the balance sheet value
may not be recoverable. Depreciation according to the plan is not recorded on goodwill.
For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units, in the case of Alisa
Bank, for the entire group. If for a cash-generating unit the amount of recorded goodwill
exceeds the recoverable amount, the dierence is recorded as a impairment.exceeds the recoverable amount, the difference is recorded as a impairment.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets mainly consist of oce furniture and, to a lesser extent, IT equipment. Tangible assets mainly consist of office furniture and, to a lesser extent, IT equipment.
Tangible assets are measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any
impairment. Acquisition cost includes the costs that are directly caused by the acquisition of
the tangible asset in question.
Tangible assets are depreciated using the straight-line method based on their estimated
useful economic lives. The depreciation time for furniture is 4-5 years and 4 years for IT
equipment. The estimated useful lives and residual values are checked at least on the
end date of each financial year. If these dier substantially from previous estimates, the end date of each financial year. If these differ substantially from previous estimates, the
depreciation periods are changed accordingly. Depreciation is discontinued when an asset is
classified as for sale.
Sales profits or losses arising from the retirement of fixed assets are calculated as the
dierence between the selling price and the book value and are recognised through profit or difference between the selling price and the book value and are recognised through profit or
loss in other operating income or costs.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
In connection with the financial statements, the management reviews the impairment of
tangible and intangible assets. Impairment tests require the management team’s discretion
and assessment of the asset’s future financial benefit and useful life.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
According to IFRS 16, a lease is a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At the inception of a
contract and in situations in which the terms of a contract are amended, the Company
evaluates whether the contract contains a lease. Alisa Bank assesses control of use on the
basis of the following criteria in accordance with IFRS 16: the contract contains an identified
asset in which substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset are
directed to Alisa Bank, and Alisa Bank has the right to direct the use of the asset.
The lease term begins at the starting time specified in the lease. The date of termination
of the lease is the date of termination according to the lease. If the lease is of an indefinite
duration, the date of termination is evaluated on a lease-by-lease basis. The evaluation is
based on the Company’s strategic situation and on costs that would arise if a leased asset
were replaced by another asset.
33
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
IFRS 16 contains two exemptions that facilitate recognition and measurement. Alisa Bank has
elected that leases with a term of 12 months or less and right-of-use assets of a value of no
more than approximately EUR 5,000 are not recognised in the balance sheet. These short-
term leases and right-of-use assets of low value are directly expensed during the lease term.
Right-of-use assets
Alisa Bank’s leases that are capitalised in the balance sheet are based on the Company’s
leased premises and parking spaces. At the starting time of the lease, right-of-use assets
are measured at acquisition cost, which is based on the original nominal value of the
lease liability. After the original measurement of fixed assets, fixed assets are measured at
original cost less accumulated depreciation and actual impairment. Right-of-use assets are
depreciated during the lease term and the depreciation is recognised as expenses in the
income statement under depreciation, amortisation and impairment.
Lease liabilities
At the starting time of the lease, the original bookkeeping value of the lease liability consists
of the current value of leases payable during the lease term, discounted by the interest
rate on Alisa Bank’s additional credit. After the original nominal value of the lease liability
is determined, lease liabilities are measured at the original nominal value less the principal
portion of paid lease payments. The amount of the lease liability is reassessed if future lease
payments change because of an index or price change, or as a result of an extension of the
lease term, for example. If the amount of the lease liability is adjusted in conjunction with the
reassessment, a corresponding adjustment will also be made to the right-of-use assets item.
Interest expenses caused by the lease liability are recognised in the income statement under
financial expenses.
Lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate because internal
interest rates are not available. The Group’s incremental borrowing rate is determined on
the basis of received financing oers and market conditions and is reviewed annually. The the basis of received financing offers and market conditions and is reviewed annually. The
business premises lease agreement does not include options to extend.
Income taxes
Income taxes comprise current and deferred tax.
The current tax for the period is recognised in the income statement. Current tax is calculated
for the period in accordance with the regulations of each country on the basis of the enacted
tax rate. The tax liabilities or receivables that are based on the taxable profit for the period
are recognised for the amount that is expected to be paid to the tax authorities or to be
received from them as credit. The amount is determined using the tax rates and tax laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in countries in
which the Group operates and produces taxable income.
The Group will recognise a deferred tax asset for deductible temporary dierences only The Group will recognise a deferred tax asset for deductible temporary differences only
to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be produced in the future against
which the Group can utilise the temporary dierence. The amount of the deferred tax asset which the Group can utilise the temporary difference. The amount of the deferred tax asset
and the probability that the deferred taxes can be utilised are re-evaluated at the end of
each reporting period.
Earnings per share
The undiluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the financial year
attributable to the parent company’s shareholders by the average number of outstanding
shares during the period.
When calculating the diluted earnings per share, the figures used in the calculation of the
undiluted earnings per share are adjusted. This is to take account of the after-tax impact
of any items recognised through profit or loss in relation to ordinary shares, and also the
weighted average number of the ordinary shares that would have also been outstanding if
all dilutive potential ordinary shares had been converted into shares.
If the profit for the presented periods is negative, the earnings per share adjusted by the
dilutive eect is the same as the undiluted earnings per share.dilutive effect is the same as the undiluted earnings per share.
Employment benefits
Employee benefits consist of short-term employee benefits and benefits related to
termination of employment. Short-term employment benefits such as salaries and fringe
benefits, annual holidays and performance bonuses are expected to be paid in full within
12 months from the end of the accounting period during which the employees perform
the relevant work. Benefits based on termination of employment consist of severance pay.
Post-employment benefits are limited to defined contribution pension plans in connection
with the statutory pension insurance, the costs of which are recorded as an expense of the
accounting period in which payment applies.

are partly share-based and partly as cash. The monetary contribution aims to cover the
costs incurred by the key person from the remuneration taxes and tax-related payments.
The benefits granted in the arrangement have been valued at the fair value at the time of
their grant and recorded as an expense in the income statement for the period in which the
employee has fulfilled the conditions. The amount to be recorded as an expense is based on
an estimate of the number of the shares to which the right is expected to arise. The benefits
are fully recorded as share-based program and the expense is carried forward over the entire

balance sheet date concerning future performance. Estimates and decisions based on
judgement are constantly monitored and they are based on actual performance and certain
other factors such as expected future events that are reasonably anticipated to occur
considering prevailing circumstances. Actual performance may deviate from estimates.
The accounting of expected credit loss in accordance with IFRS 9 is based on internal
models that contain an assumption of a change in credit risk and probability of default.
Information focusing on the future is also taken into account, as well as an evaluation of the
performance of macro variables in various scenarios, and of the probability of each scenario
taking place. Furthermore, in the determination of expected credit losses, management
judgement is observed in the evaluation of the credit loss provisions of individual
corporate loans with overdue payments, while also taking into account the business
area management’s analysis of the collateral coverage of the security set for loans, of the
progress and situation of collection processes, as well as its overall judgement of a debtor’s
ability to pay.

G2. Note on risk management
Alisa Bank focuses on retail banking operations and oers selected banking and financial Alisa Bank focuses on retail banking operations and offers selected banking and financial
services to both personal and business customers. Customer acquisition is based on both
Alisa Bank’s own and its partners digital channels. Risk management plays a key role in Alisa
Bank’s operations from the perspective of business management and managing changes
in the operating environment. The primary risk categories are credit risk, operational risk,
market risk and liquidity risk.
The Group’s internal control, risks and risk management and the Pillar III disclosure
requirements pursuant to Part 8 of EU Capital Requirements Regulation (575/2013), are set
out in more detail in the Alisa Bank’s Capital and Risk Management Report, which is published
as a separate report in conjunction with the annual report.
1. Organisation of risk management
The company’s Board of Directors has primary responsibility for the Group’s risk
management. The Board of Directors confirms the principles and responsibilities of risk
management, the Group’s risk limits and other general guidelines according to which the risk
management and internal control are organised.
The company’s risk management is responsible for ensuring that the company’s major risks
are identified, evaluated, and measured and that risks are monitored and managed as part
of the day-to-day management of the business areas. The company’s Board of Directors
regularly assesses the company’s risk management strategy, risk tolerance and approach to
risk-taking. The aim is to manage risks through risk assessments and measures, systematic
follow-up, and analysis of the operating environment and the market. Functions that are
independent of the business areas have been organised in a way that ensures ecient and independent of the business areas have been organised in a way that ensures efficient and
comprehensive risk management and internal control as follows:
• Risk Management function
• Compliance function responsible for ensuring compliance with the rules
• Internal audit function
The aim of the Risk Management function is to promote systematic and proactive risk
management that allows the company’s business to be developed in a safe manner. In
the company’s organisation the Risk Management function operates directly under the
supervision of the CEO and reports to the Board of Directors, the CEO and other members of
the senior management.
The company’s risk management is founded on the “three lines of defence” model:
1. The first line of defence consists of the business units. The managers of the business
units are responsible for ensuring that risk management is at a sucient level in each units are responsible for ensuring that risk management is at a sufficient level in each
respective unit.
2. The second line of defence consists of the Risk Control and Compliance functions. The
Risk Control function oversees compliance with the risk limits granted to the business
units, as well as compliance with risk-taking policies and guidelines. The Risk Control
function reports its observations to the Credit and Risk Committee, the Management
Team and the company’s Board of Directors. The Compliance function is responsible for
ensuring compliance with regulations in all of the company’s operations by supporting
the senior management and the business units in applying the provisions of the law,
ocial regulations and internal guidelines, and in identifying, managing and reporting on official regulations and internal guidelines, and in identifying, managing and reporting on
any risks of insucient compliance with the rules.any risks of insufficient compliance with the rules.
3. The third line of defence is the internal audit. The internal audit assesses the functioning
of the Group’s internal control system, the appropriateness and eciency of the of the Group’s internal control system, the appropriateness and efficiency of the
functions and compliance with guidelines. It does this by means of audits that are based
on the internal audit action plan adopted annually by the Board of the company.
2. Managing capital adequacy and own funds
The objective of Alisa Bank’s capital adequacy management is to secure the suciency of the The objective of Alisa Bank’s capital adequacy management is to secure the sufficiency of the
company’s capital in relation to all material risks of its operations. In order to achieve this
goal, the company identifies and evaluates all risks relevant to its operations and, based on
these, measures its risk-bearing capacity to match the overall risk position. Capital adequacy
management process plays a key role in defining the overall risk position. The capital
adequacy management process is based on the capital requirements according to Pillar I of
the solvency regulation and risks outside of the Pillar 1, such as the interest rate risk of the
financial balance and the business risks.
Alisa Bank continuously monitors that its equity is sucient to cover the material risks Alisa Bank continuously monitors that its equity is sufficient to cover the material risks
aecting the company. Capital adequacy and all material risks are monitored by means of affecting the company. Capital adequacy and all material risks are monitored by means of
monthly reports in the Board of Directors and the Management Team, and weekly reports to
the Credit and Risk Committee. The company’s Board of Directors has confirmed a target of
at least 16 per cent for the overall capital adequacy ratio. The aim is to ensure the suciency at least 16 per cent for the overall capital adequacy ratio. The aim is to ensure the sufficiency
of capital also during downturns.
36
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPOR T
The total capital requirement for banks consists of a minimum capital requirement of 8.0%
in accordance with Pillar I and an additional fixed capital requirement of 2.5% in accordance
with Act on the Credit Institutions. Alisa Bank Group’s capital adequacy ratio was 15.2% and
the common equity Tier 1 ratio was 12.0%, exceeding the banks’ total capital requirement
(10.5%).
More detailed information on the Group’s capital adequacy is available in the Board of
Directors’ Report and in the Capital and Risk Management Report.
3. Credit risk
The credit risk of the company’s operations mostly stems from lending to its customers.
Credit risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from loan customers and other
counterparties not being able to meet their contractual obligations, and from issued collateral
not covering Alisa Bank’s receivables.
During Alisa Bank’s second year of operations, the growth of the credit portfolio decreased
clearly compared to the previous year, and the relative credit risk position has remained
stable. Alisa Bank’s customers are both private and SME customers. After ending peer-to-peer
and crowdfunding business, the company has systematically focused lending on customers
with lower credit risk, in accordance with the risk appetite set by the Board of Directors.
Alisa Bank has procedures and guidelines in place for identifying, measuring, managing, and
monitoring credit risk. The company’s credit risk management is based on the risk appetite
specified in the risk management policy confirmed by the company’s Board of Directors.
In addition, the company’s market- and product-specific risk policies specify the minimum
criteria that the debtors must meet before a credit can be granted. Alisa Bank applies the
standardised approach for calculating credit risk in capital adequacy.
Alisa Bank applies a definition of default in accordance with the EBA/GL/2016/07 guidelines.
The definition is applied at the debtor level. Default is identified on the basis of the debtor’s
substantial payment delays, in accordance with the calculation of the days of delay or on the
basis of the debtor’s unlikeness to pay back. When the credit is overdue for more than 90 days
or the debtor is considered default, the loan is placed in stage three in the ECL calculation.
However, not all ECL stage three loans are necessarily default. Default means that the debtor’s
overdue loan obligation exceeds both the absolute and relative thresholds and is overdue for
90 consecutive days.
The amount of non-performing loans in the credit base has increased due to increased
bankruptcies in corporate financing during the review period. At the end of the review period,
the amount of non-performing loans was EUR 7.2 million (6.6). The NPL ratio, which describes
non-performing receivables in relation to all loans and receivables, was 4.2 (4.0) percent at
the end of the review period. At the end of the review period, there were EUR 0.4 million in
non-performing forbearance loans, and EUR 0.7 million of healthy forbearance loans.
Loan receivables with a payment delay of more than 30 days but less than 90 days were 3.5
(2.6) percent of the entire loan portfolio. The proportion of overdue payments of more than
90 days was 3.0 (3.6) percent. In the comparison period, most of the insolvent loans consisted
of foreign loans. 22% of Alisa Bank’s non-performing loans consist of foreign consumer loans,
28% of business loans and 50% of domestic consumer loans.
In lending to consumer customers, the company applies statistical credit risk assessment
methods (credit risk models) for assessing the expected default risk. The credit risk models
assess the debtor’s estimated default risk based on which the company assigns the debtors
one of the five internal risk classes. In addition, the company always assesses the debtor’s
ability to pay back based on confirmed monthly income, loan expenses and assessment on
the other expenses of the debtor’s household.
In lending to businesses, the company assesses the debtor’s credit risk by means of a careful
credit analysis process specified in credit policies. The company uses information collected
from external sources when evaluating the creditworthiness and ability to pay of business
customers. Loans to business customers are monitored throughout the entire life cycle of
the loan agreement. If significant changes are detected in the customer’s financial situation,
the customership will be taken for more detailed monitoring.

ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Distribution by risk class
The company classifies all customers into risk classes based on the information available on
the counterparty. The classification is based on the bank’s internal assessment and external
credit rating data. Monitoring is continuous and can lead to a transfer from one risk class to
another.
The risk categories in use are defined as follows:
• Risk class 5: Consumer and business customers are included in low risk items.
• Risk class 4: Consumer and business customers are included in moderate risk items.
• Risk class 3: Consumer and business customers are included in increased risk items.
• Risk class 2: Consumer and business customers are included in the second-highest risk
items.
• Risk class 1: The highest risk items include consumer and business customers and
insolvent customers. Other clients are classified on the basis of the bank’s internal risk
class assessment.

Risk concentrations
Risk concentrations arise or may arise, for example, when the credit portfolio contains large
amounts of loans and other liabilities directly towards:
• single customer or counterparty
• group of connected customers
• single business industry
• against limited amount of collaterals
• within same maturity
• within same product
Risk concentrations are managed at Alisa Bank with the help of set limits, and these are
monitored actively as part of the management’s risk report. Alisa Bank’s loan portfolio is
focused on personal customers, mainly consisting of smaller loan amounts; the maximum
loan amount for personal customers according to the credit granting policy is 30,000 euros.
With a distributed customer base, the significance of individual large customer risks is
minor. At the end of the financial year, the company had one exposure, where the loan
amount exceeded 10 percent of Tier 1 own funds; the loan is secured by financed sales
invoice receivables. The ten largest loans accounted for 8 percent of the total loan portfolio.
Of the financing granted to companies, the largest industries are industry, construction
and transport and storage. Most of the business loan portfolio is sales invoice financing.

Loans with payment delays and changes to repayment schedule
An operating model for monitoring the loans of customers with payment delays is outlined
in the company’s credit policy guidelines. Overdue loans refer to commitments for which
repayment of the loan capital is overdue by more than 15 days.
In the event of payment delays by consumer customers, the company aims to assist
customers to prevent financial diculties. Consumer customers may be oered payment customers to prevent financial difficulties. Consumer customers may be offered payment
holidays and changes to the repayment schedule.
In lending to businesses, the aim is to find solutions well before the customer’s possible
financial diculties aect their ability to repay the loan. Lending is guided by a policy on financial difficulties affect their ability to repay the loan. Lending is guided by a policy on
credit risk management and credit risk strategy.
The company regularly monitors overdue loans and reports them to the company’s
management and Board of Directors. Such loan receivables are also monitored if the customer
has significant financial diculties in fulfilling the repayment. The purpose of monitoring is to has significant financial difficulties in fulfilling the repayment. The purpose of monitoring is to
detect overdue loans or loans that become problem loans as early as possible.
Collaterals and guarantees
Loans granted by Alisa Bank to personal customers are almost always unsecured. The credit
risk of business lending is managed using collateral and guarantees. Guarantees are applied to
exposures in order to secure repayment. In business lending, risk is often hedged by agreeing
on a personal guarantee with the customer. The key features of the practices and processes for
the assessment and management of eligible collateral are set out in the business lending credit
policy guidelines. The collateral received is presented in the group’s note G29.
Credit risk assessment in the calculation of expected credit losses
The calculation of expected credit losses, i.e. the ECL calculation (Expected Credit Loss)
is applied in the company to financial assets valued at amortized cost, of which the most
significant item is loans receivable from customers. The calculation of expected credit losses
is carried out monthly at the loan level. In the ECL calculation, the expected credit loss is
calculated for each loan on a monthly basis based on the probability of default (PD) and the
amount of loss caused by default (LGD).
When assessing whether the credit risk related to loan receivables has increased significantly,
the change in the risk of defaults occurring during the expected validity period of the financial
asset is examined. When making this assessment, the risk of default on the financial asset on
the reporting date and the risk of default on the financial asset at the time the loan is granted
are compared. A significant increase in credit risk leads to the transfer of the loan from stage
1 to stage 2. A significant increase in credit risk can be caused, for example, by a delay in
payments by the borrower for more than 30 days, for reasons other than technical reasons,
or changes in the counterparty’s financial position, such as a substantial deterioration of
creditworthiness and financial position.
Loans are recorded to stage 3 if the credit risk has significantly and provably increased.
If there are one or more events that have occurred on the customer side, that will aect If there are one or more events that have occurred on the customer side, that will affect
future cash flows negatively. These events can be for example:
• Payments (amortization or interest) have been delayed for more than 90 days
• Bankruptcy or liquidation of the debtor, or other significant financial dicultiesBankruptcy or liquidation of the debtor, or other significant financial difficulties
• Customer is defaulted. A forborn loan moves to stage 3 when the bank assesses the debtor
as non-performing.
If the customer has clear indications of uncertainty about repayment, the credit can be
transferred directly from stage 1 to stage 3 on a discretionary basis.
The following tables present the company’s loan portfolio by market and customer segment
and by risk class. Risk class 5 represents the lowest default risk, risk class 1 the highest.

4. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk can be defined as a lack of balance in incoming and outgoing cash flows. The risk may
materialise if the company is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due. The company’s
main liquidity risks arise from the maturity mismatch between borrowing and lending.
Alisa Bank’s liquidity risk management is based on its ability to gain enough competitively priced
money for the short and long term, and that the sources of funding are suciently diversified. money for the short and long term, and that the sources of funding are sufficiently diversified.
The bank has tried to diversify deposit channels to reduce concentration risks; the bank opened a
savings account product on Europe’s leading deposit comparison portal Raisin in Germany and in
the Netherlands. The share of these accounts in the total deposit base was 18% at the end of the
financial year. More than 85 percent of the deposit base was covered by deposit protection.
An important part of managing liquidity risk is planning a liquidity position for both the short and long
term. The company’s long-term liquidity management is primarily done as part of strategic planning
and budgeting. Estimated loan volumes, allocated to loans of dierent maturities, are the basis for and budgeting. Estimated loan volumes, allocated to loans of different maturities, are the basis for
the required level of financing, divided into long-term financing and stable deposit base, as well as
the amount of equity capital. Liquidity management also includes liquidity reserve management. This
ensures that the company has sucient liquid securities available to cover the needs of its various ensures that the company has sufficient liquid securities available to cover the needs of its various
businesses. Furthermore, establishing a liquidity reserve will prepare for market downturns and
possible legislative changes. The company’s liquidity reserve target is to cover at least the projected net
outflows in a stressed scenario in which deposits flow out, and new financing is not available.
The table at the next page presents the company’s contractual payments for financial assets
and liabilities. The cash flows include capital and contractual interest. Liquidity risk management
is supported by active risk management, balance sheet and cash flow monitoring and internal
calculation models. In order to be able to manage its outgoing cash flows, it is crucial that the
company continuously manages its liquidity situation.
Sucient liquidity is ensured by the limit set by the company’s Board of Directors to the company’s Sufficient liquidity is ensured by the limit set by the company’s Board of Directors to the company’s
cash assets. Liquidity adequacy is monitored and managed with the help of indicators such as:
maturity dierences between assets and liabilities, deposit concentrations. deposit outflow, LCR maturity differences between assets and liabilities, deposit concentrations. deposit outflow, LCR
and NSFR ratios, and increase in financing costs. Liquidity indicators are monitored continuously
and reported at least monthly to the management team and the Board of Directors as part of risk
reporting. The company prepares for the repayment of future debts by limiting new lending in
the upcoming years as necessary, thereby ensuring its liquidity position. The company’s liquidity
remained stable during 2023.
Alisa Bank has no derivative exposures or collateral requirements.

Liquidity risk is measured by a liquidity buer adequacy ratio (liquidity coverage ratio, LCR) Liquidity risk is measured by a liquidity buffer adequacy ratio (liquidity coverage ratio, LCR)
and a minimum long-term funding requirement (net stable funding ratio, NSFR). The Group’s
liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was at a very good level, and was 689% at the end of 2023. The
net stable funding ratio (NSFR) was 199,9% at the end of 2023. The company’s internal risk
limit for the LCR and NSFR indicators is 130%. The statutory limit is 100%. Over the past year,
the LCR and NSFR indicators have followed a steady and predictable trend.
5. Market risk
Market risk consists of interest rate risk in the banking book and foreign exchange risk. The
banking book consists of on- and o-balance-sheet items related to lending and borrowing, banking book consists of on- and off-balance-sheet items related to lending and borrowing,
as well as a liquidity reserve.
Alisa Bank does not trade in shares or other securities for trading purposes. No sensitivity
analysis of the equity price risk has been presented as it does not have any eect on the analysis of the equity price risk has been presented as it does not have any effect on the
Group’s financial position.
Currency risks are maintained at a moderate level to prevent exchange rate fluctuations
from causing significant financial losses. The largest currency positions on 31 December
2023 were: SEK (Swedish krona) EUR 0,26 million and DKK (Danish krone) EUR 1,4 million. A
fall of -10% in the exchange rates would cause a valuation loss of EUR 0,17 million.
The exchange rate of the currencies above correlates closely with the exchange rate of the
euro, which reduces the risk. Altogether 99% of the net loan portfolio was in euros. Other
items in the balance sheet do not cause material exchange rate risks to the company.
Interest rate risk
The company’s interest rate risk is caused by dierences in the interest rate linkages and The company’s interest rate risk is caused by differences in the interest rate linkages and
maturities of assets and liabilities. In addition, market interest rates aect the market prices maturities of assets and liabilities. In addition, market interest rates affect the market prices
of securities in the portfolio. At the end of the financial year, the company has no securities
in the investment portfolio whose valuation could be aected by changes in market interest in the investment portfolio whose valuation could be affected by changes in market interest
rates.
The company aims to balance the interest rate durations of receivables and payables and to
reduce unforeseen fluctuations in the interest margin. The pricing of borrowing and lending
is a key issue for the development of the company’s interest margin. The company currently
has longer (over 1 y) fixed-rate loans for less than a fifth of its loan portfolio, and the share
is constantly decreasing. New lending is mainly with variable interest rates and tied to the
3-month Euribor.

The amount of interest rate risk is regularly reported to the management team and the
Board of Directors. Interest rate risk is monitored and measured regularly by means
of interest rate risk limits set by the Board of Directors and by assessing the eects of of interest rate risk limits set by the Board of Directors and by assessing the effects of
interest rate shocks on the economic value of the bank’s equity and net interest income.
In the situation at the end of the financial year on 31.12.2023, the sensitivity of the interest
rate risk relative to own funds was as follows: If the interest rate level were to rise by two
percentage points, the economic value of the company’s own funds would increase by
1.9 per cent due to the positive profit development. If interest rates were to fall by two
percentage points, the economic value of own funds would fall by 2.3 per cent. If interest
rates were to rise by two percentage points, it would have an estimated annual positive
impact on net interest income of approx. EUR 1.3 million. If interest rates were to fall by two
percentage points, the estimated negative annual impact on net interest income would be
approx. -1.3 million euros. The next table shows the standard scenarios determined by the
European Banking Authority (EBA) on interest rate risk change sensitivities, on the economic
value of equity.

New products, services and suppliers of outsourced services are separately approved
through the company’s formalised approval process before they are introduced. The approval
process ensures that the risks associated with new products and services are appropriately
identified and assessed. The same approval process will also apply when existing products are
developed.

At least annually, the company’s management receives the risk assessments of the business
units and a report on the materialised risks, which are used to compile a separate report to the
Board of Directors. The process created will enable the Board of Directors to gain an overview
of the operational risks faced by the business and their potential impact on the company.

The group’s management team was not paid post-employment benefits, recommended in
connection with termination or other long-term benefits during the accounting period.
Share-based incentive system
Alisa Pankki Plc has two share-based incentive schemes for the group’s key employees, to
which the group has applied the requirements of the IFRS 2 Share-based payments standard
during the accounting period. The share bonus system introduced in 2022 replaces the option
programs that were in use before the merger. Another share bonus system was launched
in 2023. The purpose is to combine the goals of the owners, management and personnel
to increase the company’s value in the long term, as well as to commit participants to the
company and oer them competitive incentive systems based on earning and accumulating company and offer them competitive incentive systems based on earning and accumulating
company shares, which support Alisa Bank’s strategy.
2022A & 2022B
The valuation-based share bonus system 2022 has one earning period that started on July 4,
2022 and ends on March 31, 2024. Its target group includes approximately 14 key personnel,
including members of the management team. In the system, it is possible for the target group
to earn a share bonus based on the increase in the value of Alisa Pankki Plc’s shares. One
share unit entitles one share to an increase in value. The share units are divided into classes
2022A (approx. 650,000 units) and 2022B (approx. 2,500,000 units). The increase in the value
of the share is measured from the starting level of 1.27 euros (2022A) and 0.63 euros (2022B).
The increase in the value of the share units will be converted into Alisa Bank shares after
the end of the earning period, and any bonuses will be paid deferred after the end of the
earning period in two equal installments, in April 2025 and April 2026, in accordance with
the legislation on the financial sector. The payment of bonus installments is followed by a
one-year waiting period, during which the key person cannot hand over the shares paid
as a bonus. The rewards are paid partly in Alisa Pankki Oyj shares and partly in cash. The
monetary shares of the rewards cover the taxes and statutory social insurance contributions
incurred by the participants. If the participant’s employment or management contract ends
before the bonus is paid, the bonus is generally not paid.
PSP 2023
On January 17, 2023, the company’s board decided on a new share-based incentive system
for the group’s key personnel. This performance-based share bonus system has three
earning periods covering the fiscal years 2023, 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. It is possible
for the target group to earn Alisa Pankki Oyj shares based on performance. The board
decides the system’s earning criteria and their goals at the beginning of the earning period.
According to the financial sector legislation, the possible rewards of the system are paid
on a delayed basis, so that the rewards are paid to the participants after the end of the
earning period within about four or five years in five installments. The payment of bonus
installments is followed by a one-year waiting period, during which the key person cannot
hand over the shares paid as a bonus. In the 2023 earning period, the rewards were based
on the group’s 2023 result, the implementation of strategic projects, customer satisfaction
(NPS) and set personal goals. The value of the bonuses paid for the earning period 2023
can correspond to a total of no more than 2,000,000 Alisa Pankki Oyj shares, including a
possible share to be paid in cash. In the earning period 2023, the target group included
approximately 11 key personnel, including the CEO and other members of the management
team.
A member of the management team must own at least 50 percent of the net number of
paid shares, until the value of his share ownership in the company in total corresponds
to 50 percent of the value of his gross annual salary. Correspondingly, the managing
director must own at least 50 percent of the net number of shares paid, until the value of
his share ownership in the company in total corresponds to the value of his gross annual
salary. These amounts of shares must be owned as long as the person’s membership in the
management team or position as CEO continues.

Macroeconomic model assumptions used in the ECL calculation
The following table presents the company´s reporting period and comparison period macroeconomic model scenarios applied in the Company’s ECL calculation, and the probabilities
observed in the scenario weightings. The macroeconomic model applied by the Company is based on the trend in the gross domestic product rate.

The company has classified fair values on the basis of the
fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1: The fair values of financial instruments (such as publicly quoted derivatives
and shares) traded on the active market are based on market prices quoted at
the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price of financial assets is the
current bid price, and the quoted market price of financial liabilities is the ask price.
Level 2: For financial instruments not traded on the active market, the fair value
is determined using the measurement method. These methods use as much
observable market information as possible and rely as little as possible on company-
specific assessments. If all the significant input data required to determine the fair
value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is classified as level 2.
Level 3: If one or several pieces of significant input data are not based on
observable market data, the instrument is classified as level 3.

Goodwill impairment test
The amount of goodwill at the end of 2023 was EUR 6.0 million (6.0) for the Alisa Bank group.
An impairment test is performed annually, or whenever there are indications of impairment,
for a cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been assigned. In goodwill impairment
testing, the book value of the cash-generating unit is compared to the recoverable amount of
the business in question.
The forecast period of the recoverable cash flow is five years in total. The forecasts are based
on three-year financial forecasts approved by the bank’s board. In determining cash flows
after this, 3 percent growth assumptions have been used, which are estimated to be below
the industry’s long-term growth rate. Cash flows that extend beyond the five-year forecast
period have been determined using the terminal value method. The terminal value growth
assumption is 2 percent, which corresponds to the European Central Bank’s long-term
inflation target. The cash flows are discounted to the present at a discount rate that reflects
the group’s cost of capital before taxes. The cash flows are discounted to the present with
a discount rate that reflects the capital cost of the cash generating unit before taxes. The
discount rate on 31 December 2023 was 9.4 percent. The discount rate takes into account the
risk-free rate, country and industry risk, as well as the bank’s volatility and size.
The test result shows that the recoverable amount exceeds the book value by 3 million euros,
and Alisa Bank therefore has no need to write down the goodwill. In the sensitivity analysis,
the eect of the most important variables on the test result was tested. The key variables the effect of the most important variables on the test result was tested. The key variables
are the business profit, the discount rate and the growth assumption after the three-year
forecast period. In terms of business profit development, the sensitivity analysis stated that a
0.5 percentage point increase in credit losses in relation to the loan portfolio would cause the
need to write down goodwill. The annual relative share of loan portfolio credit losses used in
cash flow forecasts is 3.6-4 percent.
In 2022, Alisa Bank’s recoverable amount in impairment testing was determined based on
Alisa Bank’s market value at the time of the financial statements. The method was changed
because the cash flow varies from moment to moment based on the market value more
sensitively than when testing with the cash flow model.

EUR 1,000 2023 2022
Realized credit losses on receivables
Realized credit losses on loans granted during the
financial year -320 -377
Realized credit losses on loans granted before the
beginning of the financial year -6,527 -3,242
Realised and expected credit losses and impairment losses -6,847 -3,619
Expected credit losses (ECL) change 1,723 -4,392
Impairment of receivables total -5,124 -8,011
The change in expected credit losses decreased from the comparison period, due to the
stabilization of the growth of the loan portfolio, selling Poland’s loan portfolio and the
reduction of the relative share of the old peer-to-peer loan portfolio. The amount of Poland’s
credit portfolio at the end of 2022 was EUR 3.4 million, of which EUR 3.2 million had been
recorded as a loan loss provision.
The eects of the development of the ECL calculation model applied by the company and
discretionary parameter changes on the amount of the credit loss provision in the financial
period were about EUR 0.5 million, reducing the ECL provision: PD coecients were updated
based on more recent historical data, which reduced the ECL provision by EUR 0.2 million.
The price change in the sales contract for overdue receivables has the eect of reducing the
provision by EUR 0.3 million. During the accounting period, macroeconomic parameters were
also updated and their weight in the calculation was increased, which slightly increased the
ECL reserve. At the beginning of the 2024 financial year, the company has introduced the
spread eect of insolvency for stage 3 loans in the ECL calculation model. In the 2023 financial
statements, the eect of the model change has been taken into account as an estimate that
increases the ECL reserve by EUR 0.03 million.
In the accounting period, a discretionary provision of EUR 0.5 million for the corporate credit
base was recorded under expected credit losses.
The provision for expected credit losses in the financial statements on December 31, 2023
includes a total of EUR 0.9 million in increases in provisions at the management’s discretion.
Discretionary provisions are allocated to individual contracts and concern loans granted to
corporate customers.
Expected credit losses include both receivables from customers and o-balance sheet
commitments.

ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The company has classified fair values on the basis of the fair value
hierarchy as follows:
Level 1: The fair values of financial instruments (such as publicly quoted derivatives and
shares) traded on the active market are based on market prices quoted at the end of the
reporting period. The quoted market price of financial assets is the current bid price, and
the quoted market price of financial liabilities is the ask price.
Level 2: For financial instruments not traded on the active market, the fair value is
determined using the measurement method. These methods use as much observable
market information as possible and rely as little as possible on company-specific
assessments. If all the significant input data required to determine the fair value of an
instrument are observable, the instrument is classified as level 2.
Level 3: If one or several pieces of significant input data are not based on observable market
data, the instrument is classified as level 3.

Auditor’s Report
(This document is an English translation of the Finnish auditor’s report. Only the Finnish version of the report is legally binding)
To the Annual General Meeting of Alisa Bank Plc
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Alisa Bank Plc (business identity code 0533755-0) for
the year ended 31 December 2023. The financial statements comprise the consolidated balance
sheet, income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity,
cash flow statement and notes, including material accounting policy information, as well as the
parent company’s balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.
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 submitted to the Board of Directors.
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 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.
In our best knowledge and understanding, the non-audit services that we have provided to the
parent company and group companies are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable
in Finland regarding these services, and we have not provided any prohibited non-audit
services referred to in Article 5(1) of regulation (EU) 537/2014. The non-audit services that we
have provided have been disclosed in note G8 to the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sucient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. The materiality
is determined based on our professional judgement and is used to determine the
nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the eect of identified
misstatements on the financial statements as a whole. The level of materiality we set
is based on our assessment of the magnitude of misstatements that, individually or in
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have influence on the economic decisions of the
users of the financial statements. We have also taken into account misstatements and/or
possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for qualitative reasons for the users
of the financial statements.
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.
The significant risks of material misstatement referred to in the EU Regulation No 537/2014
point (c) of Article 10(2) are included in the description of key audit matters below.
We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes
consideration of whether there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of
material misstatement due to fraud.
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
84
THE KEY AUDIT MATTER
HOW THE MATTER WAS ADDRESSED
IN THE AUDIT
Claims on the public and public sector entities – measurement
(notes G11 and G17 to the consolidated financial statements)
Claims on the public and public sector entities,
totalling EUR 167 million, is a significant item on the
Alisa Bank’s balance sheet representing 53% of the
total assets.
Calculation of expected credit losses (ECL) in
accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is based
on the impairment models applied by Alisa Bank and
expert estimates. This involves estimates, assumptions,
and management judgements, especially in respect of
determining the probability of expected credit losses as
well as significant increases in credit risk.
Developments in the economic environment and
related uncertainties may increase credit risk, which
can realise in higher impairment loss on claims.
The elements of accounting for expected credit losses
are updated and defined, based on materialised credit
risk developments, improvements of the accounting
process as well as on regulations and changes therein.
Due to the significance of the carrying amount
involved, complexity of the purposes and
management judgement involved, measurement of
claims is addressed as a key audit matter.
We obtained an understanding of Alisa Bank’s lending
process, credit risk management and calculation of
expected credit losses.
We evaluated compliance with the lending
instructions and assessed credit risk management as
well as the principles and controls over recognition
of claims.
We assessed the methods and the key assumptions
used for calculating expected credit losses as well as
tested the controls related to the calculation process
and credit risk models for expected credit losses.
The focus areas in our audit included the replication
of the ECL provisioning under the impairment model
and the basis for recording overlays relying on
management judgements and estimates.
Our IFRS and financial instruments specialists were
involved in the audit.
Furthermore, we considered the appropriateness of
the notes provided in respect of claims and expected
credit losses.
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 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 the 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 sucient 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.
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2023 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
85
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the eectiveness of the 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.
• 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.
• Obtain sucient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the
entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of
the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied
with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and 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.

Other Reporting Requirements
Information on our audit engagement
We were first appointed as auditors by the Annual General Meeting on 20 April 2023, and
our appointment represents a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 1 year.
Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are 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 or 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 accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
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 accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
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.
