Rewriting the rules
of SME banking
Alisa Bank isn’t just updating banking - we’re rewriting how it works. Inspired
by birds, we move with purpose and freedom, creating financial tools that help
businesses rise without friction. Alisa gives wings to growth by embedding
banking into everyday business tools, freeing SMEs to focus on business.
On the surface, customers and partners experience simplicity and flow.
Beneath it, they can trust a bank built on wisdom, compliance, and strong
Nordic foundations.
Together with partners, we shape a new banking era. One that moves with
agility, stands out with confidence and always stays one step ahead of where
business is heading.

From
foundation
to flight
OUR HISTORY
Long before the birds took flight, Alisa was forming its foundation. In 2022, two
complementary strengths came together. Fellow Finance brought years of digital
finance expertise. Evli Bank added the stability and trust of a regulated deposit
bank. Together, they created the first version of what Alisa would become.
But the story didn’t stop there. In 2024, we expanded our wings by merging with
PURO Finance, the Nordic leader in invoice financing. This wasn’t just growth, it
was a step that deepened our expertise in the product that would become the
heart of our strategy.
And in 2025, we made another decisive move. We sold a significant part of our
consumer credit portfolio, a strategic shift that sharpened our focus on SME
financing. By letting go of what no longer served our direction, we created more
room to invest in the future we are building.
Each milestone brought us closer to the bank we are today, a modern,
technology-driven Finnish institution that blends the reliability of a regulated
bank with the agility and mindset of a fintech.
A bank built to move differently. To think differently. To serve differently. And a
bank ready not just to follow the future of SME banking - but to shape it.
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Our banking services are integrated directly into the digital platforms
businesses use every day. This enables faster access, greater
transparency, and a more efficient user experience.
Traditional banking was not built for the speed and complexity of
modern businesses. By integrating banking services directly into
existing business systems, we reduce complexity and eliminate friction
in financial processes.
The result is banking that feels more like e-commerce: fast to access,
transparent by design, and frictionless to use. No unnecessary steps,
no disconnected systems, just financial services that work in the
background so businesses can focus on growth.
For SMEs, we provide instant access to financing inside
existing business tools.
For partners, we offer a fully compliant banking backbone
they can trust and scale with.
For depositors, we offer secure savings that fuel the
growth of Nordic SMEs.

STRATEGY
Alisa Bank is a Finnish bank focused on providing scalable,
technology-driven financial services to SMEs, deposit customers,
and platform and banking partners.
Our strategy is built on a Banking-as-a-Service model, where banking
capabilities are embedded into partner platforms to support SMEs’
liquidity management and financing needs as part of their daily
business processes.
A strong domestic position in Finland forms the foundation for our
growth and provides a stable base for further development and
scalability. International expansion is pursued selectively across
European markets through a partnership-led model.
Invoice financing serves as our primary scalable growth product,
offering an efficient solution for SMEs’ working capital needs while
supporting our long-term growth strategy.

Towards strategy-
aligned growth
In 2025, the bank advanced decisively in
its strategic shift toward a business model
focused on financing small and medium-sized
enterprises.
The past year fell clearly short of targets in terms of both the
sales of financing products and the utilisation rate of invoice
financing limits. Although business lending sales recovered
in the second half of the year, total balance sheet income
remained below target. In contrast, the development of
deposit net interest income exceeded the target, supported
by successful funding of business customers. The Bank’s
costs developed as planned, and the implemented cost-
saving measures will become more clearly visible in 2026.
Depreciation for 2025 includes one-off write-downs of
capitalised development costs related to the sale of the
consumer lending business, which increased depreciation
for the financial year by EUR 0.8 million.
CEO’S REVIEW
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
8
We executed our strategy in a determined manner, focusing
on banking services for SMEs and invoice financing. As
part of this, we sold a significant portion of the consumer
loan portfolio and discontinued the sale of almost all
consumer-oriented products. The transaction resulted in
a total one-off gain of EUR 2.4 million. At the same time,
sales and marketing efforts were successfully strengthened
to accelerate growth in business financing. The invoice
financing cooperation agreement with Nordea, signed
towards the end of the year, further supported the positive
development in demand. Growth in business customer
deposits continued, particularly through Banking-as-a-
Service partner channels, although the overall deposit base
was deliberately reduced in non-strategic channels.
Market environment and future development
Although some positive signs can be observed in demand
for banking and financing services among SMEs, we do
not expect the external operating environment to turn
loan products, and the launch of Banking-as-a-Service
partnerships in Sweden. Measures related to the renewal of
business loan products and the development of the Swedish
market will continue as planned.
The Bank will continue measures to strengthen the credit
quality of the SME financing loan portfolio, with the
objective of reducing the NPL ratio during the current year.
Lowering funding costs and streamlining the operational
cost structure are key priorities in improving risk-adjusted
returns. Going forward, the development of operating profit
will be materially dependent on the development of sales
volumes.
Warm thanks to our personnel and customers for the past
year.
Sampsa Laine
CEO
The success of marketing efforts and partnerships,
such as the invoice financing collaboration with
Nordea that began at the end of the year, accelerated
the growth in demand for corporate financing toward
the end of the year.
clearly more favourable in terms of demand for financing.
Euribor rates are expected to remain close to current levels,
supporting the assessment of a neutral macroeconomic
impact on earnings.
The general cautiousness of the banking sector is expected
to continue, which supports demand for Alisa Bank’s
services in the current financial year. We expect the positive
sales development of our products, which began in the
summer of 2025, to continue, supported by an increased
number of financial management software and banking
partnerships, as well as our own sales and marketing
efforts. At the same time, we are assessing opportunities for
inorganic growth of the business financing balance sheet by
utilising capacity released from consumer finance.
The Bank’s strong capital adequacy and liquidity position,
together with a low average cost of funding, support our
competitiveness in business financing. At the same time,
the deposit margin is expected to continue to increase.
The Bank’s strategic development priorities include
invoice financing, the further development of business

Highlights of the year
During 2025, Alisa Bank focused on the core of its strategy: partnerships, integrated banking
solutions, growth in invoice financing, and a capital-efficient and transparent business model.
We continued to grow both through our own and partner channels.
Several new collaborations, a product launch, and the decision to exit consumer financing
strengthened the company’s position as a modern, technology-driven corporate bank.
April
We began a partnership with
Fennoa to deliver banking
services for corporate
customers.
October
We launched a
partnership with Nordea
to offer invoice financing
to Nordea’s entrepreneur
clients, leveraging Alisa’s
technology.
February
We launched a partnership
with Administer to provide
banking and financing services
to corporate clients.
August
We expanded our business
card offering by introducing
a new service model.
We made a strategic decision
to exit consumer financing
and sold a significant portion
of our loan portfolio to
Bankaktiebolaget Nordiska
(Publ).
December
We launched a partnership
with Netvisor to provide
account and financing services
to Netvisor users.
Strategic
significance
These actions advanced the
bank’s Banking-as-a-Service
strategy, strengthened the
partner-driven distribution
model, and reinforced the core
offerings of the corporate bank.
The decision to exit consumer
lending was a strategic choice
that clarifies Alisa Bank’s
position as an SME-focused
bank and supports the growth
of the deposit base.

Built
together
In 2025, Alisa focused purposefully on developing its work
community. Extensive work on culture, values, and brand,
carried out together with the personnel, clarified a shared
understanding of what Alisa is as a workplace today and
what we want it to become in the coming years. The work
was based on strong participation: employees were actively
involved in workshops, discussions, and joint definitions, which
strengthened commitment and a sense of community.
The culture and values work created a strong foundation
for Alisa’s future as an employer. A shared direction, clear
operating principles, and strengthened sense of community
support the implementation of our strategy and help build
Alisa as a workplace where people thrive, develop, and take
pride in their work.
In 2026, we will focus on developing our leadership to be
more coaching-oriented, strengthening collaboration between
teams, supporting well-being at work, and ensuring that Alisa’s
values are reflected concretely in all our daily activities. We
want to build a work community where everyone can grow,
make an impact, and feel proud of their work.

Culture and values
Values
As part of the overall initiative, a culture working group was established with the
task of defining Alisa’s cultural vision and its key building blocks. The resulting
cultural vision defines Alisa’s target state as a workplace. It emphasizes coaching
and empowering leadership, cross-team collaboration, informal knowledge
sharing, balanced workloads, and well-being in both work and life.
In our culture, celebrating successes and giving feedback are an integral
part of daily life, and we take pride in Alisa’s development as well as the growing
recognition of our brand.
Three key building blocks were defined as the foundation of our culture: a growth
mindset, openness, and well-being at work. These guide daily operations, leadership,
and collaboration, while supporting employee well-being and Alisa’s sustainable growth.
Respect
— Valuing Everyone
We treat every individual with
dignity, kindness, and fairness.
We listen actively, celebrate
differences, and foster an
environment where everyone feels
seen, heard, and valued.
Ownership
— Owning Actions
We take accountability for our
decisions, actions and outcomes.
Integrity and reliability guide how
we work, both independently and
together.
Innovation & Growth
— Staying Curious
We challenge the status quo, ask
bold questions, and stay curious.
Through continuous learning
and creative thinking, we adapt,
improve, and drive progress.
Solution-Oriented
— Providing Answers
That Matter
We don’t dwell on problems
—we solve them. With a practical
mindset and a collaborative
spirit, we turn challenges into
opportunities and deliver results
that matter.

BRAND
In 2025, Alisa Bank reached
turning point. The brand that
had supported our early growth
no longer fully reflected the
bank we were becoming. As our
strategy sharpened and our
culture strengthened, it became
clear that we needed a more
distinctive, forward-looking
expression of who we are.
The idea for our new brand came
from within. One ordinary day,
a simple image on a colleague’s
screen sparked a concept: what
if our brand moved the way a
modern digital bank should
- fast, clear, confident, like
a bird in flight?
This internal spark became the
foundation of our new brand. The
bird theme naturally reflected
our strategic direction and values,
and it was developed through
collaboration across teams. Our
brand now expresses the identity
that had been evolving within the
organization for years.
Choosing this direction required
courage. It meant moving away
from traditional banking imagery
and embracing a modern,
distinctive visual identity. More
importantly, it reflected our
strategic ambition: to lead the
next era of SME banking and
embedded financial services.
Since its launch, the new brand
has reinforced our purpose,
strengthened our culture, and
aligned with our strategy. It is
now more than a logo or visual
identity, it is a symbol of who
we are and the direction we are
heading. In short, we have found
our wings.
And this is just the beginning.
Our full brand journey is only
starting, and you’ll see much
more in the months ahead.

Business environment
Finland’s economic development in 2025 remained weaker than previously assessed, and
signs of economic recovery remained limited. Uncertainty related to developments in the
global economy and geopolitics, as well as the tightening of trade policy, slowed economic
growth. The operating environment remained challenging, particularly for companies, and
the number of bankruptcies stayed at a high level. Confidence among both consumers and
businesses remained weak during the year. Employment continued to weaken compared to
2024, and the unemployment rate stood at 10.7 per cent at the end of 2025 (8.9).
According to the Bank of Finland’s estimate, economic growth will remain at 0.2 per cent this
year and is expected to increase to 0.8 per cent and 1.7 per cent in the following years. Inflation
slowed to below 1.5 per cent in 2025 and is expected to remain at approximately the same level
in 2026 as well. Public finances will remain clearly in deficit and indebtedness will continue.
The general level of interest rates has declined compared to a year earlier, and the three-month
Euribor rate stood at 2.0 per cent at the end of the financial year. During the review period, the
European Central Bank lowered its deposit facility rate four times, bringing it down to 2.0 per cent.
The volume of corporate lending in Finland increased by 2.8 per cent compared to the
previous year. During 2025, a total of 3,906 companies were declared bankrupt, representing
an increase of 12 per cent year-on-year (3,488 bankruptcies in the previous year).
In Finland, corporate deposits increased by 3.9 per cent and household deposits by 4.4 per
cent compared with previous year.
Financial performance
The continued uncertainty in the operating environment weakened the financial performance
during the financial year and was reflected in weaker demand across all of the bank’s
main products as well as in a high level of credit loss provisions. Utilisation rates of invoice
financing limits remained at an exceptionally low level. In addition, growth sought through
Banking-as-a-Service partnerships has not developed as targeted.
Group’s profit before non-recurring items and taxes was EUR -3.4 million (-0.1). The profit
before taxes was EUR -2.1 million (-1.3), and the loss for the year was EUR -2.1 million (-1.2).
In December 2025, the bank sold a significant portion of its consumer loan portfolio for a
purchase price of EUR 51 million. The transaction had a positive impact of EUR 2.4 million on
the result for the financial year 2025. In connection with the transaction, impairment losses
of EUR 0.8 million were recognised on capitalised IT development costs related to consumer
lending on the balance sheet, which had a one-off negative impact on the result.
The group’s income for the financial year, including net interest income, net fee income, net
income from securities and currency operations and other operating income, was EUR 14.9
million (17.0). Net interest income was EUR 12.3 million (15.1). Interest income decreased by 36
percent to EUR 18.9 million (29.5) and interest expenses decreased by 54 percent to EUR 6.6
million (14.5). The development of interest income was particularly affected by the decrease
and sale of the consumer loan portfolio. The development of interest expenses was driven
both by a reduction in deposit volumes and by lower funding costs resulting from the general
interest rate trend. Net fee income decreased to EUR 1.4 million (1.8).
The total costs of the financial year, including depreciation and write-downs, increased
slightly during the financial period to EUR 13.7 million (12.8). The increase in expenses
compared to previous year was impacted by the combination of Alisa Bank and PURO
Finance in May 2024. The expenses for the financial year 2025 included EUR 1.2 million (1.2)
of non-recurring items, which mainly consisted of the write-downs of intangible assets and
the sale of the consumer loan portfolio.
Personnel expenses increased to EUR 6.9 million (6.3). Other administrative expenses - including
office, IT, representation and marketing expenses as well as costs related to consulting – were
EUR 4.3 million (4.9). Depreciation and impairment were EUR 2.4 million (1.3) and other operating
expenses were EUR 0.1 million (0.3). Other operating expenses include, for example, fees to
authorities. In the second half of the year, the company implemented cost-saving measures.
After the end of the financial year, change negotiations were conducted to restructure the
organization following the exit from consumer loan business and to achieve cost savings. As a
result of the change negotiations, the number of employees decreased by 7 persons.
Realised and expected credit losses amounted to EUR 3.3 million (5.5). The change in the
expected credit losses in the income statement was EUR 2,4 million (0.6), improving the
result. Realised credit losses decreased to EUR 5.7 million (6.2).
Balance sheet and financing
The total amount of the group’s balance sheet decreased during the financial year to EUR
306.0 million (450.6). Assets, EUR 306.0 million, mainly consisted of cash EUR 210.7 million
(279.4) and loans granted to customers (claims on the public and public sector entities) EUR
55.4 million (143.7).

The bank’s key intangible assets are its personnel, IT systems, and strategic partnerships. Some
of these assets are recorded on the balance sheet as goodwill and intangible assets. These
resources play a central role in the implementation of the strategy. Intangible assets, EUR 15.1
million (16.5), include EUR 13.3 million (13.3) goodwill generated in business acquisitions and
EUR 1.2 million (2.3) of capitalised product development costs and customer contracts EUR 0.6
million (0.9). During the financial year, intangible assets were written down as a one-off item
totaling EUR 1.0 million. The majority related to the exit from consumer lending operations.
The portion of the write-downs related to customer contracts and the system arising from the
acquisition of Mobify Invoices Ltd amounted to EUR 0.1 million. During the year, EUR 0.6 million
(EUR 0.6 million) of product development expenses related to the development of digital
banking services were capitalised.
The Group’s liabilities EUR 271.3 million (413.9), mainly consisted of liabilities to the public
and public-sector entities that decreased during the financial year by 35 percent to EUR
256.5 million (394.6). The group’s equity decreased to EUR 34.7 million (36.7).
Risks and capital adequacy
The Bank focuses on SME financing and serving savings customers through digital channels.
During the financial year, the Bank decided to exit retail lending activities as part of sharpening its
business focus and improving profitability, and sold a significant portion of its personal customer’s
loan portfolio. The sale of the remaining portfolio is expected to be completed in 2026.
Risk management is an integral part of the Bank’s governance and preparedness for changes in
the operating environment, and the Bank’s most significant risks relate to credit, operational -
and compliance, strategic, market- and liquidity risks.
Risk management principles and organisation
Risk management is an integral part of the Company’s business management and the
implementation of its strategy. Its objective is to safeguard uninterrupted income generation,
ensure sufficient risk-bearing capacity, and support sustainable profitability through the
appropriate pricing and management of risks.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall risk management of the Group and
determines the Company’s risk appetite, principles and limits. Risk management is based
on the business strategy, risk management policy approved by the Board, and regular risk
reporting. The Company does not take on significant risk concentrations relative to its financial
capacity, and its risk position is monitored in accordance with the limits set by the Board.
Day-to-day risk monitoring is the responsibility of executive management, and the Company
has risk management and internal control functions that are independent of the business.
Risk Control, Compliance and Internal audit
The Company has risk management and internal control functions that are independent
of the business, supporting the Board of Directors and executive management in ensuring
effective risk management and regulatory compliance. The Risk Control function monitors
compliance with risk limits and risk-taking principles and reports regularly to executive
management and the Board.
The Compliance function supports compliance with regulatory requirements and internal
policies and participates in the management of compliance risks. Internal Audit assesses
the effectiveness of internal control and risk management in accordance with the audit plan
approved by the Board of Directors.
Risk position
Alisa Bank’s key risks relate to credit and counterparty risks, operational risks, and interest
rate risk in the banking book. Uncertainty in the operating environment may weaken the
profitability and investment appetite of SMEs, which could affect financing volumes and
increase credit loss risk.
With regard to operational risks, fraud risks have increased, particularly in digital channels.
The Bank strengthens the management of fraud risks through proactive control and
monitoring procedures and by continuously developing processes and capabilities to
respond to the evolving threat landscape. The objective is to identify and prevent fraud
incidents at the earliest possible stage and to limit their financial and reputational impacts.
The loan portfolio decreased during the financial year compared to the previous year and
amounted to EUR 58.9 million (EUR 149.5 million). The reduction in the loan portfolio was
mainly due to the sale of a significant portion of the personal customer’s loan portfolio. At the
balance sheet date the Company had one customer group exposure exceeding 10 per cent
of Common Equity Tier 1 capital as calculated for capital adequacy purposes. The exposure is
largely mitigated by an eligible guarantee from an export credit agency. Business lending was
primarily concentrated in manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, and real estate activities.
Concentration risk is monitored at the level of customer groups and industry sectors.
The amount of non-performing exposures decreased year-on-year to EUR 5.6 million (EUR
7.1 million). The NPL ratio was at 9.5 per cent (4.8 per cent) at the end of the reporting
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
18
period. The increase in the ratio was mainly due to the contraction of the loan portfolio.
The NPL ratio of the business loan portfolio was 7.1 per cent. Non-performing exposures
consisted mainly of business lending, and their level was affected by an increase in SME-
companies’ bankruptcies. Business loan NPLs included one significant customer exposure of
EUR 2.0 million, of which large part is mitigated by an eligible guarantee from an export credit
agency. A full loan loss provision had been recognised for the unguaranteed portion. In the
NPLs calculation the customer exposure is recognized to full value without the guarantee.
Market risk mainly consists of interest rate risk in the banking book and a minor foreign
exchange risk. Interest rate risk arises from differences in the interest rate repricing and
maturities of assets and liabilities. Approximately 14 per cent of the loan portfolio consists
of long-term fixed-rate financing, while the majority of the total loan portfolio is short-term,
fixed-rate invoice financing.
Interest rate risk is continuously monitored using, among other measures, sensitivity analyses
of the economic value of equity and net interest income. As at 31 December 2025, a two
percentage point increase in interest rates would increase the economic value of own funds
by 2.9 per cent and improve net interest income by approximately EUR 1.7 million per year,
while a corresponding decrease would reduce the economic value of own funds by 3.7 per
cent and decrease net interest income by approximately EUR 1.7 million per year.
Capital adequacy management
The objective of the Bank’s capital adequacy management is to ensure a sufficient level of
capital in relation to the risks of its business and changes in the operating environment.
Capital adequacy is assessed on a comprehensive basis, taking into account both regulatory
capital requirements and the key business and balance sheet–related risks.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall management of capital adequacy and
determines the risk strategy and capital targets to ensure the Bank’s risk-bearing capacity and
continuity of operations.
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. The Bank’s total capital
requirement consists of the statutory Pillar 1 requirements and the discretionary additional
capital requirement (Pillar 2) imposed by the Financial Supervisory Authority. At the end of
the financial year, the Group’s capital adequacy was strong and clearly exceeded regulatory
requirements. The total capital ratio was 34.6 per cent and the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1)
ratio was 31.1 per cent, providing the Bank with a substantial buffer against business risks and
changes in the operating environment. The Group’s capital structure consists of core capital and
supplementary capital, and the level of own funds supports the Bank’s strategic objectives and
risk-bearing capacity.

Liquidity and stable funding
Liquidity risk can be defined as a mismatch between 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 maturity mismatches between funding and
lending.
Liquidity adequacy is ensured by setting a cash reserve limit defined by the Company’s Board
of Directors. The Company prepares for the repayment of future liabilities by restricting
lending, if necessary, in the coming years, thereby safeguarding its liquidity position. The
Company’s liquidity remained stable and at a good level throughout 2025.
At the end of the financial year, the Company’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was 1,210 per
cent (minimum requirement 100 per cent). The liquidity buffer consisted entirely of high-
quality liquid assets (Level 1 assets), namely deposits held with the Bank of Finland.
The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), which measures the adequacy of stable funding, stood
at 441 per cent at the end of the reporting period (minimum requirement 100 per cent). The
Company has no outstanding bond issuances. The majority of its funding consists of retail
deposits, i.e. deposits from private individuals and SMEs.

Outlook for 2026
In the current financial year, the focus of the Bank’s business, in line with its strategy, is
on increasing financing volumes for SMEs and on making the Bank’s SME banking services
available more broadly through the channels of our existing and new partners (Banking-as-a-
Service). The gradual withdrawal from the consumer business – partly as a result of the loan
portfolio sale already completed and partly as a result of future measures – will reduce the
Bank’s income, expenses and credit losses in 2026.
The development of profitability and the strengthening of operating profit will going forward
be materially dependent on the development of corporate financing volumes and the market
environment. We estimate that the result before non-recurring items and taxes will be
loss-making in the first half of the year. As business growth and structural transformation
progress, the Bank’s profitability will improve, and a profitable result before non-recurring
items and taxes is expected for the second half of the year.
Financial goals for the strategy period
Alisa Bank’s board of directors has confirmed the following medium-term (2024-2027) targets
for the company in line with its strategy:
Income growth: An average annual income growth of 20 percent during the strategy period
Profitability: Over 15 percent return on equity by the end of 2027
Operational efficiency: A cost-to-income ratio of less than 50 percent by the end of 2027
Capital adequacy: 16% capital ratio throughout the strategy period
The Board’s suggestion for profit
distribution and annual general meeting
Alisa Bank focuses on profitable growth and business development within the framework of
targeted capital adequacy. The company does not plan to distribute dividends in the short or
medium term.
The parent company’s distributable assets on December 31, 2025 totalled EUR 1,360,647.31.
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders that no
dividend will be distributed for the financial year 2025.
The company’s annual general meeting will be held in Helsinki on March 19, 2026. The
Financial Statements report will be available to the public in week 9.

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. Our
mission is to provide the market’s seamless selected banking services through partnerships
in the digital channels that customers use daily. Our target customers are small businesses,
deposit customers, and partners.
The Alisa Bank Group consists of the parent company Alisa Bank Plc and its wholly owned
subsidiaries Fellow Finance Česko s.r.o and Fellow Finance Deutschland GmbH. Fellow Finance
Deutschland GmbH entered into liquidation process during the financial year, and the
process is expected to be completed in 2026. There was no active business operations in the
Czech Republic during the review period. The subsidiary PURO Finance SPV1 Oy merged to
the parent company Alisa Bank in 30 April 2025.
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). Alisa Bank Plc offers its services to Sweden and 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 office is
located at Bulevardi 21 A, 00180 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. Business
identity code is 0533755-0.
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 2025, 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 board of directors approved the financial statements and the annual report in its
meeting on February 12, 2026, and they will be published by February 27, 2026, at the latest.
According to the Finnish Companies Act, shareholders have the opportunity to approve
or reject the financial statements at the general meeting held after their publication. The
general meeting also has the possibility to decide on changes to the financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared for a period of 12 months from
1 January to 31 December 2025. 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.
Strategic decision to exit consumer finance
During the financial year, the Bank made a strategic decision to exit its consumer finance
activities as part of a refocusing of its business and efforts to improve profitability. In
connection with this decision, the Bank sold a significant portion of its retail consumer loan
portfolio in December 2025. The Bank expects the sale of the remaining loan portfolio to be
completed during the financial year 2026.
The consumer loans sold were classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost in
accordance with IFRS 9. The sale was accounted for in accordance with the derecognition
requirements of IFRS 9, and the difference between the consideration received and the
carrying amount of the financial assets derecognised was recognised as profit.
New accounting principles
During the period, no new standards have entered into force that would affect Alisa Bank’s
financial statements. In 2027, the new IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial
Statements standard will enter into force, which will replace the IAS 1 standard and which
will especially change the way the income statement is presented. Income and expenses
are classified into operating, investment and financing categories. The standard will result
in only some presentation changes for Alisa Bank. The other upcoming IFRS standard
amendments are not expected to have any material impact on the financial statements.
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
31
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, 2024.
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 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.
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 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 Sweden.
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 difference in average exchange
rates resulting from different exchange rates in the comprehensive income and balance sheet
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 are classified as measured at amortised costs:
Cash and cash equivalents
Claims on credit institutions
Claims on the public and public sector entities
The Group’s following financial assets are classified as measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income (FVOCI):
Debt securities
Alisa Bank has no financial assets to be recognized at fair value through profit or loss.
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 or they may also be held for trading purposes when the liquidity reserve requires low-risk
assets that offer a better return than the Bank of Finland’s deposit rate.
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
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
32
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.
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.
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
A financial asset is classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
when the objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash
flows and by selling the financial asset. The contractual cash flows represent solely payments
of principal and interest (SPPI). At Alisa Bank, such investments may include, for example,
debt securities.
At initial recognition, the instrument is measured at fair value plus transaction costs.
Subsequently, it is measured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses recognised in
other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously
recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.
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 offset and presented in net terms on the balance
sheet 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 simultaneously. 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 liabilities recognized at fair value through profit or loss or at
fair value through other 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 off-balance sheet commitments, such as unused credit facilities
related to overdraft facilities. A simplified impairment model is applied to accounts receivable.
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
33
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.
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 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 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 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 increased credit risk and default
In the Company, the application of increased credit risk and default criteria are primarily
based on the delay in credit repayment, i.e., the number of days of delay and unlikeliness to
pay criteria. 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
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
34
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 incresed 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 difficulties.
SICR determination considers forbearance only after the forbearance measure has been
granted. However, if a debtor has observed or anticipated financial difficulties, but no
forbearance measures have been granted, this can still indicate unlikeliness to pay which in
turn may trigger default and therefore transfer the debtor’s exposures to stage 3.
Recovery from default to non-default is described below in the section Application of the
credit loss calculation model.
Calculation model for expected credit losses
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).
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 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.
The starting point for the PD parameter is defined as the proportion of non-performing
loans of the loans historically issued by the company. PD parameters are determined
separately for each financing product, and PD figures are updated on a regular basis. 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.
Exposure amount at the time of default
The exposure amount 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.
Effects of macroeconomic developments on the probability of losses
The determination of the final PD parameter 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
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
35
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 effects of the scenarios on the PD parameter 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 ECL calculation 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
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.
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.
Cure from stage 3: Defaulted exposures stay in defaulted status for at least 90 days after
the latest default-triggering event. After the probation period, the exposure can be cured to
non-defaulted status, which will lead the exposure to recover to stage 1 in ECL calculation.
Cure from Stage 2: Exposures are classified into Stages 1 and 2 based on the criteria
applicable at the reporting date. For Stages 1 and 2, the classification at the previous
reporting date does not affect the classification at the current reporting date. An exposure
may therefore return from Stage 2 to Stage 1 once the SICR criteria are no longer met.
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
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 and liquidity reserve income. 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 effective interest method. Fees that form a significant part of the
effective interest rate on financial assets or liabilities, such as loan brokers and deposit
comparison sites commissions, are recognised 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.
Net income from securities and currency operations
Exchange rate income and expenses are recorded as net income from securities and currency
operations. In addition, possible recurring income from investments, valuation profit and
losses and sales profit and losses are recorded in this group.
Other operating income
Income that does not fall under the previous items is recognised as other operating income.
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 3–10 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 difference is recorded as a impairment. There is more
information about goodwill testing in appendix G19.
Tangible assets
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.
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
37
Tangible assets are depreciated using the straight-line method based on their estimated
useful economic lives or residual depreciation 25%. The depreciation time using the straight-
line method 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 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
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.
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. At the starting time of the lease, right-of-use assets are measured at
acquisition cost, which is based to the amount according to the original valuation 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 value of the lease liability is
determined, lease liabilities are measured at the original 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 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
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
38
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 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 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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from lease agreements (right-of-use assets) are
netted in the balance sheet. Deferred tax assets and liabilities netted in the balance sheet are
shown separately in the notes on deferred taxes.
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 effect is the same as the undiluted earnings per share.
Employment benefits
Employee benefits consist of short-term employee benefits, benefits related to termination
of employment and post employment benefits. 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.
Alisa Bank has a share-based incentive programs for the group’s key personnel. Payments
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 period of the right. The expense is recognised under personnel expenses. On each
reporting date, the Company revises its estimates on the amount of shares. The impact of
the revision is recorded in income statement. The amount to be recorded as an expense will
be adjusted later to correspond to the number of shares finally granted. The requirements
of the IFRS 2 Share-based payments standard apply to the incentive system.
Equity
Equity consists of share capital, the invested unrestricted equity reserve, fair value reserve,
translation differences and retained earnings. The assets of the reserve for invested
unrestricted equity are used to develop the company’s operations, invest or cover losses.
Matters requiring management judgement and estimation
The drawing up of financial statements in accordance with IFRS standards requires
that certain accounting assessments are made. In addition, management must use its
judgement. Judgement affects the choice of accounting policies and their application, the
amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses to be reported and the notes that must
be presented. The management will exercise its judgement on the basis of estimates and
assumptions that are based on earlier experience and the best view available to it on the
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 calculation of expected credit losses (ECL) in accordance with IFRS 9 is based on the
Bank’s internal models, which incorporate assumptions regarding changes in credit risk,
probabilities of default and loss given default. The calculation also incorporates forward-
looking information, including assessments of the development of macroeconomic variables
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
39
under different scenarios and the probabilities assigned to those scenarios. In addition,
management judgement is applied in determining expected credit losses, particularly in the
assessment of individual past-due corporate loans. These assessments take into account
management’s analysis of the adequacy of collateral, the progress and stage of the recovery
process, and an overall assessment of the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations.
The classification of financial assets and liabilities in accordance with IFRS 9 also involves
management judgement. In determining the appropriate classification, management assesses
the business model applicable to the financial instruments and the nature of the contractual
cash flows, which affects the measurement basis and presentation of financial assets and
liabilities in the financial statements.
Related to business acquisitions, the fair value measurement of acquired assets and liabilities
is based on estimates. As part of the acquisition process, the allocation of goodwill involves
management judgment. The value of goodwill is tested regularly for impairment. Intangible
assets are tested when there are indications of impairment. Impairment testing requires
management’s judgment and estimates of the future cash flows of the assets, along with
underlying assumptions.
Management exercised judgement in determining the appropriate accounting treatment
and presentation of arrangements related to the exit from consumer lending. In particular,
management assessed that the consumer loan portfolios sold are accounted for as financial
assets within the scope of IFRS 9.
Also, management judgement has been applied in estimating the end dates of premise leases
in order to recognise the leases in accordance with IFRS 16.

G2. Note on risk management
Alisa Bank focuses on financing small and medium-sized enterprises and serving retail savings
customers by offering selected banking and financial services through its own balance sheet
Customer acquisition is based on both Alisa Bank’s own and its partners digital channels
During the financial year, the bank made a strategic decision to exit consumer lending as part
of focusing its business and improving profitability. In connection with this decision, the bank
sold a significant portion of the consumer loan portfolio in December 2025. With respect to
the remaining retail loan portfolio, the bank expects the sale to be completed during 2026.
Risk management plays a key role in the Bank’s operations, supporting business
management and the management of risks arising from changes in the operating
environment. The Bank’s main risk categories are credit risk, operational and compliance
risk, strategic risk, as well as market risk and liquidity risk.
The Bank’s risk profile, risk management framework and capital management, as well as the
disclosure requirements under Part Eight of the EU Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR)
(Pillar III), are described in more detail in the 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
Risk management refers to the processes and activities through which risks arising from
the Bank’s operations are identified, assessed and managed, with the aim of preventing
the materialisation of risks. The objective of risk management is to support the effective
implementation of Alisa Bank’s strategy, ensure business continuity and safeguard the stable
generation of income.
The Company’s Board of Directors has primary responsibility for the organisation and
oversight of risk management within the Group. The Board determines the level of risk the
Company is willing to accept when executing its strategic objectives. The approved risk level
is based on the Company’s risk appetite framework. The Board also approves the principles,
responsibilities and organisational structure for risk management and internal control.
Risks are monitored and managed as an integral part of the day-to-day management
of the Bank’s operations. Risk management is based on regular risk assessments, the
implementation of mitigating actions arising from those assessments, and systematic
monitoring and reporting. The Board of Directors regularly evaluates the appropriateness of
the Bank’s risk management strategy, risk-bearing capacity and risk appetite to ensure their
continued alignment with the Bank’s strategy and changes in the operating environment.
Independent functions are organised to ensures efficient and comprehensive risk
management and internal control as follows:
Risk Control function
Compliance function responsible for ensuring compliance with the rules
Internal audit function
The company’s risk management is founded on the “three lines of defence” model: 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 sufficient level in each respective unit.
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. In addition, the risk control
function supports the implementation of systematic, proactive and comprehensive risk
management. 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 Management Team and the business units in
applying the provisions of the law, official regulations and internal guidelines, and in
identifying, managing and reporting on any risks of insufficient compliance with the rules.
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 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 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, sizes its risk-bearing capacity to correspond to its 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 Capital regulation and risks outside of the Pillar 1, such as the interest rate risk
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
41
of the banking book and the business risks.
Alisa Bank continuously monitors that its own funds are sufficient to cover the material risks
affecting the company. 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 sufficiency of capital
also during downturns.
3. Credit risk
The Company’s credit risk primarily arises from its customer lending activities. The Bank’s
financing portfolio is predominantly composed of exposures to small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs), with the majority of financing provided in the form of short-term invoice
financing bearing fixed interest rates. In line with its strategic priorities, the Bank is in the
process of exiting its remaining consumer lending portfolio. Credit risk constitutes the most
significant financial risk to which the Bank is exposed.
During the financial year, the total loan portfolio decreased compared to the previous year.
Notwithstanding the reduction in overall loan volumes, the Bank’s relative credit risk profile
weakened as a result of an increase in the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio. At the same time,
the absolute volume of non-performing loans declined year-on-year.
The company’s credit risk management is based on the risk appetite approved by the
Company’s Board of Directors and supported by comprehensive risk policies. In addition,
the Company defines minimum eligibility criteria for borrowers in its product-specific credit
policies. The objective of credit risk management is to limit the earnings and capital adequacy
impacts arising from customer exposures to an acceptable level. For regulatory capital
purposes, the Bank applies the Standardised Approach for the calculation of credit risk.
Lending activities and credit monitoring are governed by the Company’s credit risk strategy.
In business lending, the creditworthiness of borrowers is assessed in accordance with a struc
-
tured credit analysis process defined in the credit policies. The assessment incorporates both
internal information and data obtained from external sources to evaluate the credit quality
and repayment capacity of corporate customers. Credit exposures are monitored throughout
the entire lifecycle of the customer relationship and the exposure.
The following tables present the geographical distribution of exposures. Overdue exposures
to private individuals in other EU countries consist mainly of the remaining loan portfolios in
Germany, Denmark and Sweden.

Distribution by risk class
The company classifies all customers into risk classes 0 to 5, based on the information
available on the counterparty. The classification is based on the bank’s internal assessment,
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
42
which utilizes external credit rating data. Monitoring is continuous and can lead to a transfer
from one risk class to another. Risk class 0 includes primarily defaulted loans.
The risk categories in use are defined as follows:
Risk class 5: The low-risk category comprises business and personal customers
Risk class 4: The moderate-risk category comprises business and personal customers
Risk class 3: The increased risk category comprises business and personal customers
Risk class 2: The second-highest risk category includes business and personal customers
Risk class 1: The highest risk category include business and personal customers
Risk class 0: Defaulted business and consumer customers, and customers of risk classes 1
or 2 with over 30/60-days payment delayes.

Risk concentrations
The Company had one customer group exposure exceeding 10 per cent of Common Equity
Tier 1 capital as calculated for capital adequacy purposes. The exposure is largely mitigated
by an eligible guarantee from an export credit agency. The ten largest customer group
exposures accounted for 21.0 per cent of the total loan portfolio.
Financing granted to business customers was mainly concentrated in manufacturing,
wholesale and retail trade, and real estate activities. Concentration risk is monitored
particularly with respect to customer group exposures and industry concentrations, and is
managed through established limits as part of regular management risk reporting.
Collaterals and guarantees
Credit risk in business lending is managed through the use of collateral and guarantees. In
invoice financing, invoice receivables serve as collateral for the financing provided, while
business loans are primarily secured by various guarantees, such as personal guarantees
and guarantees granted by the state or municipalities. The principles governing the assess
-
ment and management of acceptable collateral are defined in the Bank’s business lending
credit policy.
Loans with payment delays and non-performing loans
The Company regularly monitors past-due exposures as part of its credit risk management
and reports them to management and the Board of Directors. The objective is to identify
exposures that may develop into non-performing loans at an early stage.
A defaulted exposure refers to a loan for which an overdue payment obligation has
remained unpaid for more than 90 days and exceeds the applicable threshold values.
Non-performing exposures are classified as Stage 3 in the IFRS expected credit loss (ECL)
calculation, although not all Stage 3 exposures necessarily meet the definition of default.
At the end of the review period, the amount of non-performing loans was EUR 5.6 million
(7.1) and the NPL ratio was 9.5 (4.8) percent at the end of the review period. The increase in
the ratio was mainly due to a contraction in the loan portfolio. The NPL ratio of the business
loan portfolio was 7.1%.
Non-performing exposures consisted mainly of business financing, and their volume was
affected by an increase in business customer bankruptcies. Business loan non-performing
exposures included one significant customer exposure of EUR 2.0 million. The exposure
is largely mitigated by an eligible guarantee from an export credit agency, and the
unguaranteed portion has been fully recognised.
The share of loan receivables past due by more than 30 days but less than 90 days was 2.0
(3.5) per cent of the total loan portfolio, while the share of receivables past due by more
than 90 days was 4.3 (3.0) per cent. Of the Bank’s non-performing loans, 58 per cent related
to business loans, 28 per cent to domestic consumer loans and 14 per cent to foreign loans.
The proportion of past-due loans among business customers decreased during the review
period, particularly in invoice financing, where short maturities and case-by-case assessment
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
43
support predictable credit risk management. The Bank monitors the development of credit
risk based on past-due exposures and other early warning indicators (UTP criteria).

Consideration of Credit Risk in the Calculation of Expected Credit Losses
A significant increase in credit risk is assessed by comparing the change in the risk of default
of a financial asset at the reporting date with the risk at initial recognition over the remaining
lifetime of the asset, and a significant increase results in the transfer of the loan from Stage
1 to Stage 2. Loans classified as Stage 3 are credit-impaired, where one or more events have
occurred that have a negative impact on the estimated future cash flows; in cases of clear
indications of unlikely repayment, a loan may be transferred directly from Stage 1 to Stage
3. The calculation of expected credit losses is described in Note K1 Accounting Policies of
the Consolidated Financial Statements and information on changes during the financial year
is presented in Note K11 Final and Expected Credit Losses. The table below presents the
distribution of the loan portfolio across Stages 1–3 by risk class, where risk class 5 represents
the lowest and risk class 1 the highest credit loss risk.

4. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company is unable to meet its payment obligations
as they fall due as a result of an imbalance between incoming and outgoing cash flows.
The Company’s most significant liquidity risks arise from differences in the volumes and
maturities of funding and lending.
The starting point for liquidity risk management is the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient
and cost-effective funding in both the short and long term, as well as adequate diversification
of funding sources. The Bank has diversified its deposit channels to reduce concentration
risk, and at the end of the financial year, savings deposits obtained through deposit
comparison platforms accounted for 26 per cent of total deposits. More than 82 per cent of
the deposit base was covered by deposit guarantee schemes.
Liquidity management includes the planning of the liquidity position over both short- and
long-term horizons as well as the management of the liquidity buffer. The objective of the
liquidity buffer is to cover at least the forecast net cash outflows under a stressed scenario
in which deposits flow out and no new funding is available. Liquidity adequacy is monitored
in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors, including by tracking maturity
mismatches, deposit concentration and outflows, as well as the LCR and NSFR ratios.
The Company’s liquidity remained stable throughout 2025. The Bank has no derivative
exposures or collateral requirements. At the end of 2025, the liquidity coverage ratio
(LCR) was 1,210 per cent and the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) was 441 per cent, both
significantly exceeding the regulatory minimum of 100 per cent and the Company’s internal
risk limit of 140 per cent. Below are presented the breakdown of financial assets and
liabilities according to maturity.

5. Market risk
Market risk consists of interest rate risk in the banking book and foreign exchange risk. The
banking book comprises on- and off-balance sheet items related to lending and funding, as
well as the liquidity reserve.
Foreign exchange risks are kept at a moderate level in order to avoid material financial losses
or risk concentrations arising from exchange rate movements. As at 31 December 2025, the
largest foreign currency positions were DKK 0.4 million and SEK 0.3 million. A 10 per cent
depreciation of these currencies would result in an estimated financial loss of EUR 0.08
million. The correlation of these currencies with the euro is relatively high, which mitigates the
risk. Of the net loan portfolio, 99 per cent was denominated in euros, and no material foreign
exchange risks arise from other balance sheet items.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from differences in the interest rate repricing and maturities of assets
and liabilities in the Bank’s banking book as market interest rates change. Changes in market
interest rates affect both the fair value of on- and off-balance sheet items (net present value
risk) and net interest income (earnings risk). At the end of the financial year, the Company’s
investment portfolio included debt securities amounting to EUR 14.9 million, the valuation
of which is affected by changes in market interest rates. The debt securities are low risk in
nature and have short maturities of up to 12 months.
The Company’s objective is to balance the interest rate bases of assets and liabilities and to
reduce unexpected volatility in net interest income. The pricing of lending and funding is a key
factor in the management of net interest income and interest rate risk. The majority of the
financing granted consists of invoice financing, which is short-term in nature and bears a fixed
interest rate.

Interest rate risk is monitored and reported regularly to the Executive Management Team
and the Board of Directors in accordance with limits set by the Board, and is measured by
assessing the impact of interest rate shocks on own funds and net interest income.
As at 31 December 2025, a two percentage point increase in interest rates would increase
the economic value of own funds by 2.9 per cent and improve net interest income by
approximately EUR 1.7 million on an annual basis (8.5 per cent of Common Equity Tier 1
capital), while a corresponding decrease in interest rates would reduce the economic value
of own funds by 3.7 per cent and decrease net interest income by approximately EUR 1.7
million on an annual basis (-8.6 per cent of Common Equity Tier 1 capital). The table below
presents the standard interest rate risk sensitivity scenarios defined by the European
Banking Authority (EBA).

6. Operational risk
Operational risks refer to risks arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, systems
or personnel, or from external events. Operational risks also include internal and external
fraud risks. In addition, operational risks comprise legal risks as well as risks related to
regulatory compliance and information security. Losses resulting from realised operational
risks during the review period were immaterial in relation to the own funds allocated to cover
operational risks.
During the financial year, the Bank identified fraud risks particularly in relation to payment
services and digital channels. The realised fraud cases and the resulting losses were not
material in relation to the Bank’s financial position or results. The Bank manages fraud risks
through preventive control mechanisms, continuous monitoring and staff training. The
management of fraud risks is continuously developed to respond to changes in the operating
environment and the threat landscape.
The Company’s Board of Directors approves the principles for operational risk management
annually. The primary objectives of operational risk management are to ensure business
continuity, compliance with regulatory requirements in both the short and long term, and the
management of reputational risk.
Business continuity and disruption management form part of information and
communication technology (ICT) risk management and are key elements of the Company’s
operational risk management framework. ICT risk management takes into account the EU
financial sector regulation DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act), which entered into force
in 2025.
Realised operational risk events are reported from business units to the risk control
function. The monitoring, oversight and reporting of operational risks are carried out within
the Company’s risk control function. Realised operational risks are reported as part of the
monthly risk report. The Company’s management and Board of Directors receive at least
annually a company-wide risk and control self-assessment. Based on this report, the Board
is able to form an overall view of the operational risks affecting the business and their
potential impact on the Company.
7. Responsibility
Alisa Bank is a Finnish digital credit institution and an integral part of the Finnish financial
system. Banking and financial services play a key role in supporting the economic stability
of society, the reliability of the financial system and sustainable economic development. The
Bank takes social responsibility and good corporate governance considerations into account
as an integral part of its business management and risk management.
The Bank adheres to high ethical and professional standards in its operations. The Bank
requires its business units and employees to be familiar with and to comply with all applicable
legislation, regulatory requirements, supervisory standards and the Bank’s internal policies in
all markets and jurisdictions in which the Bank operates. The Bank publishes a statement on
its corporate governance as part of its Annual Report and on its website.
The competence, well-being and commitment of personnel are key success factors for
the Bank’s operations. The Bank monitors employee satisfaction on a regular basis and
implements development measures based on the findings. The Bank’s work community is
founded on equality and non-discrimination, and discrimination in any form is not tolerated.
The Bank is committed to promoting equality and equal opportunities in all its operations.
Customer satisfaction and responsible customer conduct are core principles of the
Bank. The Bank aims to communicate with its customers in a clear, transparent and
understandable manner. The Bank provides financing solutions primarily to small and
medium-sized businesses to support their investment, working capital and growth needs.
In its lending activities, the Bank applies the principles of responsible financing, taking
into account the customer’s financial position, business continuity and risks related to
the customer’s operations. Credit decisions also assess industry-specific risks and, where
applicable, environmental and sustainability-related factors. The Bank actively engages with
customers in situations where the customer’s financial position weakens and assesses,
on a case-by-case basis, the possibilities for payment arrangements or other appropriate
measures to support the customer’s repayment capacity.

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
In 2025, Alisa Bank Plc had 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. These share bonus systems were launched in 2023
and 2024. 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 offer them competitive incentive systems based on earning and accumulating
company shares, which support Alisa Bank’s strategy.
The incentive schemes in force in 2024 (2022 A and 2022 B and PSP 2023) were no longer in
effect in 2025. The detailed content of the PSP programmes is described in the 2024 annual
report.
PSP 2024-2026
The Performance Share Plan 2024–2028 consists of one (1) two and a half (2,5) year and
two (2) three (3) year performance periods, concerning the financial years 2024–2026,
2025–2027 and 2026–2028 respectively. The Board of Directors will resolve annually on
the details of a performance period. In the plan, the target group has an opportunity to
earn Alisa Bank Plc’s shares based on performance. The performance criterion of the first
performance period’s 2024–2026 measurement period H2/2024 is tied to profit before
non-recurring items and taxes in H2/2024. The Board of Directors will set performance
criteria for the measurement periods 2025 and 2026 later. The target group of the
performance period 2024–2026 consists of approximately 10 key employees, including
the members of the Management Team and the interim CEO. The potential rewards from
each performance period will be paid after the end of the performance period within
approximately four (4) years in five (5) instalments, in accordance with the financial sector
legislation. Before payment, the rewards may be reduced based on risk adjustments. The
payment of each reward instalment is followed by a one-year (1) retention period, during
which the participant cannot dispose of the shares paid as a reward.
The value of the rewards to be paid on the basis of the first performance period
corresponds to a maximum total of 1,472,109 shares of Alisa Bank Plc (including the
proportion to be paid in cash), which corresponds to approximately EUR 249 000
calculated based on the volume weighted average price of Alisa Bank Plc’s share on 7
August 2024. The potential rewards will be paid partly in Alisa Bank Plc’s shares and partly
in cash. The cash proportion of the reward is intended to cover taxes and statutory social
security contributions arising from the reward to the key employee. As a rule, no reward
will be paid if the key employee’s employment or director contract terminates before the
reward payment.
The Management Team member must hold 50 per cent of the received shares, until the
value of the Management Team member’s total shareholding in Alisa Bank Plc equals to
50 per cent of their annual base salary for the calendar year preceding the payment of
the reward. Correspondingly, the CEO must hold 50 per cent of the received shares, until
the value of the CEO’s total shareholding in Alisa Bank Plc equals to 100 per cent of the
CEO’s annual base salary for the preceding calendar year. Such number of shares must be
held for as long as the membership in the Management Team or the position as the CEO
continues.
PSP 2024-2026 program was also discontinued in 2025.
The Personnel Share Issue - EEP
The Board of Directors of Alisa Bank Plc resolved to arrange a directed share issue to the
company’s personnel and launch a related matching share plan on 24 October 2024. In the
personnel share issue, a total of 1,738,152 shares were subscribed. The subscription price
was 0.1660 euros per share. The share subscription price is based on the trade volume
weighted average price of the company share on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd during the period
from 1 September 2024 to 30 September 2024 and on a discount of ten (10) per cent
thereof. The share subscription period ran from 25 October 2024 to 15 November 2024.
The total subscription price of the shares is EUR 288,533.22.

In the matching share plan, the persons who subscribed for shares in the personnel share
issue have the opportunity to receive matching shares gratuitously after a matching period of
approximately three years.
The rewards from the plan will be paid after the matching period that ends in 2027. The
potential matching shares of the identified risk takers, however, will be paid in a deferred
manner in accordance with the financial sector legislation.
The rewards will be paid partly in Alisa Bank Plc’s shares and partly in cash. The cash
proportion of the reward is intended to cover taxes and statutory social security contributions
arising from the reward to the employee.

EUR 1,000 2025 2024
Realized credit losses on receivables
Realized credit losses on loans granted during the financial
year -41 -267
Realized credit losses on loans granted before the
beginning of the financial year -5,620 -5,906
Realized credit losses on receivables total -5,660 -6,173
Expected credit losses change 2,351 646
Realized and expected credit losses total -3,309 -5,527
The change in the expected credit loss reservation with an impact on profit was a positive EUR
2.4 million (0.6). The change was driven almost entirely by a reduction in the consumer loan
portfolio and the sale of a significant portion of that portfolio.
The effects of the development of the ECL calculation model applied by the Bank and changes
in discretionary parameters on the amount of the ECL reservation amounted to approximately
EUR 0.4 million increasing the ECL reservation during the financial year (2024: EUR 0.3 million
increase). Of this amount, EUR 0.3 million related to the renewal of the ECL calculation model
for invoice financing. As part of the renewal, the PD parameters were updated, additional SICR
criteria were introduced, and the EAD calculation was modified to better reflect the recurring
nature of the use of invoice financing. In addition to the renewal of the ECL model for invoice
financing, a calculation update was implemented, as a result of which the Stage 3 reservation
level for all exposures increases more strongly over time than previously. This change
increased the ECL reservation by EUR 0.2 million. During the financial year, minor impacts on
the ECL reservation also arose from changes in the pricing of contracts related to the sale of
overdue receivables and from updates to macroeconomic parameters.
The ECL reservation as at 31 December 2025 includes a total of EUR 0.5 million (2024: EUR
0.3 million) of discretionary management overlays. The discretionary overlays are allocated to
individual contracts and relate to loans granted to business customers.
Expected credit losses include both loans and advances to customers and off-balance-sheet
commitments.

The undiluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the financial period
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 in order 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.

Total 400,857 - 400,857 400,977
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.
Valuation of the Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
For cash and cash equivalents and claims on credit
institutions, the fair value corresponds to the nominal value.
Claims on the public and public sector entities include
granted loans, for which the fair value is determined by
discounting the expected future contract-based cash flows
at the market interest rates at the reporting date, less
expected credit losses.
The fair value of deposits included in liabilities to the public
and public sector entities is determined by discounting
the future cash flows at the market interest rates at the
reporting date. For subordinated liabilities, the discount
rate reflects the margin corresponding to the instrument’s
priority position.

Goodwill impairment test
The amount of goodwill at the end of 2025 was EUR 13.3 million (13.3) 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, 5 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 2025 was 8.8 (9.3) 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 results show that the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value by EUR 5
million, and therefore, Alisa Bank has no need to impair goodwill. The sensitivity analysis
assessed the impact of the key variables on the test result. The key variables are business
growth, the development of credit losses, and the discount rate. The development of credit
losses was the most sensitive variable in the test. In this respect, the sensitivity analysis
indicated that an increase of 0.5 percentage points in credit losses relative to the loan
portfolio would result in an impairment of goodwill. The annual relative share of credit
losses used in the cash flow forecasts, as a percentage of the loan portfolio, is on average 2.3
percent.

G34. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Alisa Bank Plc and PURO Finance Ltd announced on 10 April 2024 that they had agreed on the
combination of the companies through a share exchange whereby Alisa Bank acquires the
entire share capital of PURO Finance from its previous owners. According to the share exchange
agreement, Alisa Bank acquired PURO Finance from its previous shareholders for a purchase
price consisting of 58,878,721 new issued Alisa Bank shares. The final transaction took place
on May 15, 2024, when control passed to Alisa Bank Plc. PURO Finance specializes in factoring,
i.e. invoice financing. Together with its partners, PURO offers a reliable and effortless
accounts receivable financing service that combines customer invoicing, financing, credit
insurance, collection and accounting. PURO Finance was merged with Alisa Bank Plc on
November 2024.
The acquisition has been treated in the consolidated financial statements as a business
combination using the acquisition cost method. EUR 0.9 million of the purchase price was
allocated to customer contracts and EUR 7.3 million goodwill was generated. Goodwill
reflects the synergies arising from the merger both on the income and expense side. The
expected synergies on the revenue side are mainly based on cross-selling opportunities,
a growing number of customers and improved competitiveness. Financial synergy is
achieved when PURO Finance’s debt financing is replaced by Alisa Bank’s financing based
mainly on deposit funds. Synergies on the cost side are expected to be achieved by cutting
overlapping operational costs, making operations more efficient when the companies
adopt the best practices of both parties, and through enhanced credit risk management
as a reduction in the probability of credit losses. The valuation of customer contracts at
the time of acquisition is based on PURO Finance’s historical data on customer behavior.
In the targeted issue, Alisa’s price per share was EUR 0.2, the number of new shares was
58,878,721 shares, so EUR 11,775,744 was the purchase price. The per-share price of EUR
0.2 was the closing price on May 15, 2024.
The pre combination operating income of PURO Finance from 1 January to 14 June 2024
was EUR 9.5 million. If the acquisition had already taken place at the beginning of 2024,
the operating income of PURO Finance would have been included in the Alisa Group as
such. Alisa Bank’s income 2024 includes PURO Finance’s income of approximately EUR 5.9
million.
The transaction costs of the acquisition were EUR 1.4 million. EUR 0.8 million of the
transaction costs are booked in income statement as non-recurring items. Transaction
costs are booked in other operating expenses or administrative expenses according to
their nature. The rest of the costs are shown in equity as costs incurred from the issuance
of shares and as costs recorded in PURO Finance’s result before the combination.
The main differences between PURO Finance’s balance sheet prepared in accordance with
FAS accounting and fair values are related to the valuation of the credit portfolio. EUR -1.0
million impairment adjustment was applied to the credit base acquired in connection with
the combination due to the decrease in value due to credit risk (POCI according to IFRS
9, purchased or originated credit impaired). That part of the credit portfolio in question
has been valued at zero at the time of acquisition and is therefore not subject to an ECL
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
68
provision. The fair value of the acquired credit portfolio at the time of acquisition was EUR
25.5 million. In addition, estimates based on historical data related to customer contracts
have been used in the valuation of customer contracts identified as a new balance sheet item
in the combination. The management’s judgment is also related to the allocation of goodwill
as part of the acquisition process. The fair values and acquisition price of the acquired net
assets are presented in the table below.

P1. Accounting principles for the Parent Company
Company’s basic information
Alisa Bank Plc (“company”) domicile is in Helsinki and registered address is
Bulevardi 21 A, 00180 Helsinki.
The parent company’s financial statements have been prepared and presented in accordance
with the provisions of Act on Credit Institutions, the Decree of the Ministry of Finance
on financial statements and Regulations and Guidelines 2/2016 of the Finnish Financial
Supervisory Authority on accounting, financial statements and management reports for the
financial sector. In addition, the Accounting Act and the Limited Liability Companies Act are
complied with regulations regarding financial statements.
Differences in accounting principles compared to the group
Leases of property, plant and equipment in which substantially all the company’s risks and
rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. In financial statement, leases payable
under these contracts are treated as rental expenses. Moreover, an asset acquired under a
finance lease is not included in the balance sheet.
Alisa Bank has share-based incentive schemes. According to IFRS, the fair value is amortized
as an expense in the income statement during the period of creation and the counterpart is
recorded in equity. In the FAS financial statement, an expense is only recorded at the time of
payment and only for the portion paid in cash.
In the group, tax deductible temporary differences are calculated as deferred tax assets up to
the amount that it is likely that the group can utilize the temporary difference. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are not recorded in the parent company.
In other respects, the principles for preparing the company’s separate financial statements
correspond to the principles of Alisa Group.

Realised and expected credit losses and impairment losses -5,960 -6,286
Expected credit losses (ECL) change 2,351 646
Impairment of receivables total -3,609 -5,640
The change in the expected credit loss reservation with an impact on profit was a positive EUR 2.4 million
(0.6). The change was driven almost entirely by a reduction in the consumer loan portfolio and the sale of a
significant portion of that portfolio.
The effects of the development of the ECL calculation model applied by the Bank and changes in
discretionary parameters on the amount of the ECL reservation amounted to approximately EUR 0.4
million increasing the ECL reservation during the financial year (2024: EUR 0.3 million increase). Of this
amount, EUR 0.3 million related to the renewal of the ECL calculation model for invoice financing. As part
of the renewal, the PD parameters were updated, additional SICR criteria were introduced, and the EAD
calculation was modified to better reflect the recurring nature of the use of invoice financing.
In addition to the renewal of the ECL model for invoice financing, a calculation update was implemented,
as a result of which the Stage 3 reservation level for all exposures increases more strongly over time than
previously. This change increased the ECL reservation by EUR 0.2 million. During the financial year, minor
impacts on the ECL reservation also arose from changes in the pricing of contracts related to the sale of
overdue receivables and from updates to macroeconomic parameters.
The ECL reservation as at 31 December 2025 includes a total of EUR 0.5 million (2024: EUR 0.3 million) of
discretionary management overlays. The discretionary overlays are allocated to individual contracts and
relate to loans granted to business customers.
Expected credit losses include both loans and advances to customers and off-balance-sheet commitments.

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, 2025. 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, cash flow statement 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 Audit Committee and to
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.
We have not provided any non-audit services to the bank.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient 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 effect 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 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
90
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 55.4 million, is a significant item on the
Alisa Bank’s balance sheet representing 18-1% 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 accounting methods
used for measurement 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 (ECL) 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.
Sale of consumer loan portfolio (Accounting principles for the consolidated financial statements
and notes G6, G11 and G17 to the consolidated financial statements)
On 31 October 2025, Alisa Bank signed an agreement
to sell a significant part of its consumer loan portfolio
in December 2025, for a purchase price of EUR 51
million.
The impact of the sale on the result for the financial
year amounted to EUR 2.4 million, taking into account
the expected credit losses reversed as a result of
the transaction. The sold consumer loan portfolio
was measured in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments, based on the valuation models used by
Alisa Bank and expert estimates.
Due to the impact of the sale transaction on the
result for the financial year, the significance of the
carrying amount and the complexity of the calculation
methods used for measurement purposes, the sale
of the consumer loan portfolio is addressed as a key
audit matter.
We gained an understanding of the sales agreement
for the consumer loan portfolio and other
documentation related to the transaction.
We tested the mathematical accuracy of the
purchase price calculations and compared the
information used with the terms and conditions
specified in the sales agreement.
We assessed the policies used in preparing the
purchase price calculation and the accuracy of the
calculation formulas, as well as the fulfillment of the
derecognition criteria under IFRS 9.
KPMG’s IFRS and accounting specialists were involved
in the audit.
In addition, we considered the appropriateness of
the accounting policies and notes to the financial
statements in respect to the disclosure of the
transaction.
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
91
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 sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company’s or the group’s internal
control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ and the Managing Director’s
use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the parent company’s or the group’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or,
if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on
the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events
or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going
concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding
the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for
forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
ALISA BANK IN BRIEF GOVERNANCEFINANCIAL STATEMENTSALISA BANK | ANNUAL REPORT 2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT
92
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 3 years.
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 compliance with the applicable provisions.
In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the
information in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been
prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior
to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of
this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard.

To the Board of Directors of Alisa Bank Plc
We have performed a reasonable assurance engagement on the financial statements
743700VK1NB8HRGTQH74-2025-12-31-1-fi.zip of Alisa Bank Plc (Business ID 0533755-0) that
have been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s regulatory technical standard for the
financial year ended 31.12.2025.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of
the company’s report of the Board of Directors and financial statements (the ESEF financial
statements) in such a way that they comply with the requirements of the Commission’s
regulatory technical standard. This responsibility includes:
preparing the ESEF financial statements in XHTML format in accordance with Article 3 of the
Commission’s regulatory technical standard
tagging the primary financial statements, notes and company’s identification data in the
consolidated financial statements that are included in the ESEF financial statements with
iXBRL tags in accordance with Article 4 of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard
and
ensuring the consistency between the ESEF financial statements and the audited financial
statements.
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 ESEF financial statements in accordance
with the requirements of the Commission’s regulatory technical standard.
Auditor’s independence and quality management
We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are
applicable in Finland and are relevant to the engagement we have performed, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
The auditor applies International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) 1, which requires
the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including
policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional
standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Auditor’s responsibilities
Our responsibility is to, in accordance with Chapter 7, Section 8 of the Securities Markets
Act, provide assurance on the financial statements that have been prepared in accordance
with the Commission’s regulatory technical standard. We express an opinion on whether the
consolidated financial statements that are included in the ESEF financial statements have
been tagged, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of Article 4 of the
