Nature of main activities
Urbo Bankas UAB is a credit institution operating on the basis of share capital, which
has a licence from the Bank of Lithuania to engage in the business of accepting
deposits and other repayable funds from non-professional market participants and
lending such funds to them, and has the right to engage in the business of rendering
other financial services, and assumes the risks and liabilities related thereto.
The Bank has not purchased its own shares and there are no persons who have
purchased the Bank's shares on behalf of the Bank.
1. An objective review of the Bank’s position, operations and development and an analysis of the Bank’s financial
performance
Vision, values and strategic directions of the Bank
In 2025, the Bank actively pursued its vision of being a universal bank, becoming the preferred choice for small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and an equal competitor to other banks in the retail customer segment.
Our values – professionalism, flexibility, accountability and excellence – are the foundation of our corporate culture and
help us achieve our goals. We strive to be professionals in our field and work with dedication to provide high quality services
to our customers. We react quickly to changes in the market, take into account the individual needs of our customers and
try to find the best solutions. We comply with legislation, high business and ethical standards, and build relationships of
integrity and trust with colleagues, customers and partners. We are constantly looking for new opportunities, investing in
our knowledge and sharing it with colleagues and customers. As a financial institution with Lithuanian capital, the Bank
actively contributes to strengthening the national economy, supports local businesses and communities, and engages in
social and educational projects.
In 2025, the Bank strengthened its operations and market position in the following strategic areas: enhancement of image
and brand (the name and brand were changed on 1 February 2024), consistent business growth, improvement of customer
experience, accessibility of services, and sustainable operations. Despite active competition in the banking market, 2025
was a year of stable growth for the Bank, with continued expansion of deposit and loan portfolios across all priority
segments. The positioning of the new brand in the market was further reinforced through various marketing and
communication measures. In the annual ‘Password 2025’ awards organised by Verslo žinios for the most effective
marketing campaign of the year, Urbo bankas won in the category of the most effective brand renewal marketing campaign.
In pursuit of improved customer service experience, the Bank commenced the issuance of VISA debit cards to retail and
corporate customers, upgraded its internet banking platform and mobile application. In September 2025, the Bank
established a Leasing Department, and at the end of the year commenced the provision of payment initiation services. The
Bank made every effort to implement the Directive on the accessibility requirements for products and services, the objective
of which is to improve accessibility of products and services not only for persons with disabilities, but also for elderly
persons and those experiencing temporary or permanent functional limitations. The Bank has voluntarily prepared a
Sustainability Report for the financial year 2024 in order to clarify its sustainability priorities and share sustainability
information with the stakeholders (https://urbo.lt/lt/tvarumas).
The Bank does not conduct scientific research and is not planning activities in this area, however, with the help of third
parties, performs the market research in order to assess the awareness of the Bank, consumer and customers‘
expectations and needs.

The Bank‘s main intangible resources are the brand, reputation, knowledge and competencies, customer relations, culture
of the Bank and employee engagement. All these resources help the Bank to create uniqueness and a certain advantage
in the market, as well as to achieve greater efficiency, innovation and loyalty, which directly contributes to the creation of
long-term value and better performance of the Bank.
The Bank’s operating results
In 2025, the Bank generated a net profit of EUR 5.53 million.
The Bank’s loan portfolio grew by EUR 130.6 million, or 31.5%, in 2025, reaching EUR 545.2 million at year-end. Customer
deposits increased by EUR 97.5 million, or 17.5%, reaching EUR 654.8 million at the end of the year.
The Bank’s net interest income increased by 3.9% in 2025 to EUR 23.85 million. Stronger growth in interest income was
constrained by the decline in interbank interest rates (Euribor), which was offset by rapid growth in the loan portfolio.
Net income from commission and interest decreased by 19% and amounted to EUR 2.87 million. The decrease in
commission income was primarily driven by the closure of certain customer service units at border locations due to the
geopolitical situation and by a decline in commission income related to cash transacti ons.
The Bank’s total operating income in 2025 decreased by 4.3% compared to the previous year.
Operating expenses increased by EUR 0.9 million (4.35%) in 2025, mainly due to higher staff costs.
Impairment losses on loans and other financial assets amounted to EUR 967 thousand in 2025 (compared to EUR 624
thousand in 2024). Overall loan quality remained strong, and default rates were low.
As of 31 December 2025, the Bank’s total assets amounted to EUR 740.25 million, an increase of EUR 105.47 million, or
16.6%, over the year.
At the end of 2025, the Bank’s shareholders’ equity stood at EUR 68.12 million, having increased by EUR 3.8 million, or
5.9%, over the year.
The Bank’s capital adequacy ratio, reflecting its ability to cover risk exposures with capital and ensuring stability, was
18.0% as of 31 December 2025 (compared to 17.8% on 31 December 2024).
In October 2025, the Bank issued a EUR 6.85 million subordinated bond issue, thereby strengthening its Tier 2 capital.
All key financial data are presented in the Bank’s financial statements.
2. Description of the main risks and uncertainties
The Bank’s activities are primarily related to the use of financial instruments. The Bank accepts deposits from customers,
receives loans from funds and uses these funds to provide loans to clients and invest in securities, trying to earn a higher
interest margin. In order to achieve higher yields, the Bank consolidates short-term funds and provides longer-term loans
at higher interest rates, while maintaining a level of liquidity sufficient to meet any liabilities that may arise.
The Bank perceive risk as any uncertainty about the outcome of ongoing economic activities that could materially affect
the achievement of the Bank’s operational and strategic objectives, which can be defined as the result of the likelihood of
an event occurring and the consequences of that event (i.e., a financial loss/likely financial loss).
Risk is inherent in the activities of the Bank and is managed through continuous identification, assessment and control
processes, subject to risk limits and other controls. This risk management process is important for the continued profitability
of the Bank. Every employee of the Bank participates in the risk management process to the extent that it is relevant to
his/her job functions and responsibilities.
The main risks faced by the Bank are:
- credit risk,
- liquidity risk,
- market risk,
- concentration risk,
- operational risk,
- information and communication technology and security risks,
- compliance risk,
- money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and international sanctions risks,
- environmental, social and governance risks,
- other risks.

Risk management
The Bank takes a holistic approach to the risk management process extending to all levels of management, applicable to
all activities, and focused on continuous analysis of threats, opportunities, their interactions, performance and drivers,
effective internal communication and continuous feedback.
The Bank’s internal control system is an integral part of its risk management. The effectiveness of the risk management
and internal control system is ensured through the three lines model, which is based on a clear separation of responsibilitie s
and cooperation between the business units, the risk control units and the internal audit function.
The primary objective of the Bank’s risk management is to ensure the effective and continuous functioning of the risk
management system, so that the risks incurred in the Bank’s activities are consistent with the strategic objectives, as
included in the Bank’s capital planning, and the capital available is used in the Bank’s activities in a manner that is efficient
and profitable. The level of risk assumed must not exceed acceptable risk tolerance limits and must ensure that the Bank
operates profitably within legal requirements and in line with best practice guidelines. To achieve these objectives, the
Bank establishes a risk appetite that limits the nature and size of the risks assumed, ensures capital and liquidity reserves
to address unforeseen events. When implementing the annual capital adequacy assessment process, the capital
requirement is calculated after assessing the risks and future business strategy.
The Bank identifies, measures, assesses, mitigates, monitors and manages the risks it faces in its activities. The overall
risk of the Bank is constantly monitored and reported to the Bank's bodies. The Bank uses various risk management tools
to mitigate risk, which are selected taking into account the types of risk and their suitability for the product or client. In order
to mitigate the risk assumed, the Bank ensures the borrowed funds with collateral, and in order to manage losses from
exchange rate fluctuations, it enters into derivative financial instrument transactions.
Detailed information on the main risks that include financial risks, their management objectives and the primary measures
to manage them is provided in Note 27 of the Notes to the 2025 Financial Statements.
3. Prudential standards and requirements applicable to Urbo Bankas UAB
The Bank is required to meet the following basic own funds requirements as well as additional capital requirements:

• Total capital adequacy ratio of 10.42%;
• Leverage ratio of 3.00%
Additional capital buffer requirements:
• Capital conservation buffer requirement of 2.50%;
• Countercyclical capital buffer rate of 1.00% (applicable from 1 October 2023).
Liquidity requirement – the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) is one of the main measures of
liquidity for financial institutions, indicating the extent to which highly liquid assets cover short-term liabilities. This indicator
shows how well the Bank is prepared for short-term liquidity disruptions. In accordance with a mandatory requirement
under European Union legislation, the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) of the Bank must not be less than 100%.

funding needs over a one-year period under both normal and stressed conditions. In accordance with Regulation (EU) No.
2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council, the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) of the Bank may not be less
than 100% as of 28 June 2021.
Large exposure requirement, i.e., exposure to a single client or group of connected clients, such as loans granted, as well
as any part of assets or off-balance sheet assets, may not exceed 25% of the Tier 1 capital of the Bank.
In 2025, the Bank complied with all prudential standards and requirements set by the Bank of Lithuania: liquidity and large
exposure requirements and capital or own funds requirements.

4. Analysis of the Bank’s non-financial performance, environmental, human resource and other information
Social activities
As a socially responsible organisation, the Bank contributes to various sponsorship and charitable initiatives. In 2025, the
Bank’s support was focused on three areas: cultural, sporting and social activities.
Cultural sponsorship – for a number of years, the Bank has supported the Saulius Karosas Charity and Support
Foundation, which provides support to young, emerging and highly talented Lithuanian musicians and contributes to
creative and artistic activities. The Bank also provided sponsorship for the Lithuanian feature film ‘Laimingos žvaigždės’
(‘Lucky Stars’).
Support for sport – for the second consecutive year, the Bank has supported the ‘Lietuva Basketball’ Association, whose
activities help ensure participation of national basketball teams of all age groups (men and women) in major national and
international sporting events and maintain Lithuania’s position among the basketball elite. From 2025, the Bank also
became the title partner of URBO–NKL (National Basketball League).
Social initiatives – since 2018, the Bank has provided financial support to four hospices operating in Lithuania: Public
Institution Kaunas Hospice Home, Public Institution Lithuanian Hospice, Public Institution St. Francis Oncology Centre,
and Public Institution Hospice of Blessed Father Michał Sopoćko.
Sustainability
One of the four key strategic directions of the Bank’s operations is sustainable activity. The Bank considers sustainability
to be an integral part of its long-term business strategy. In 2025, the Bank approved a new version of its Sustainability
Policy, which sets out how the Bank is committed to supporting the Paris Agreement on climate change and the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Bank integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-related risks
into its overall risk management and risk appetite framework and ensures that these principles are properly incorporated
into other Bank policies and internal documents. The Bank establishes the principles for integrating and managing
sustainability in its day-to-day operations and ensures the implementation of the defined sustainability objectives and
targets.
ESG risk has the greatest impact on the Bank’s lending activities. The Bank assesses the impact of climate change risk
on the loan portfolio using quantitative and qualitative information. The client’s geography and sector of activity are
assessed, with a particular focus on greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors and sectors that make a significant
contribution to climate change mitigation, etc. International methodologies and good practices are also analysed.
The Bank’s management is periodically provided with information on the Bank’s impact on the environment and climate
change. Within the Bank, electricity, heat, fuel and stationery consumption are monitored, as well as the impact of digital
solutions on the Bank’s revenue, in order to make it more sustainable. The Bank aims to consistently reduce the amount
of resources consumed, to protect the environment and to encourage employees to sort waste and use reusable items in
their daily work.
Employees
As at 31 December 2025, the Bank had 281 employees, respectively (as at 31 December 2024, the Bank had 280
employees). As at 31 December 2025, 76% of the Bank’s employees were women and 24% were men (the percentage
distribution of employees by gender, compared to the data as of 31 December 2024, remained unchanged).
The Bank values the well-being of its employees as essential to its development and success, and we strive to create an
inclusive and sustainable work environment for our employees, through flexibility, work-life balance, collaboration,
development, learning and self-leadership opportunities. Our employees are competent, engaged and develop their skills
through feedback; they build long-term, value-adding relationships with our customers.
The office will remain our main workplace, but we offer the opportunity to work remotely, which has already become a
normal form of work for many of our employees. Emotional health is also an important part of employee well-being, so
throughout the year the Bank organized lectures on various topics about emotional balance, work-life balance, and
cooperation between different personality types.

Conflicts of interest management
The Bank has created a system for declaring interests, which is one of the corruption prevention measures, helping to
identify potential areas of conflict of interest and take timely measures to manage these conflicts of interest. The Bank's
employees and members of its bodies must adhere to the principles established in the Bank's Code of Ethics in their
professional and daily activities: transparency and honesty, responsibility, competence, non-discrimination, respect for
people and their rights and freedoms, impartiality, objectivity and justice, and exemplary behavior. To prevent possible
manifestations of corruption, the Bank's Conflict of Interest Management Rules clearly regulate the procedure for receiving
and giving gifts. Any actions that encourage or provoke the receipt of a gift are considered a violation of these Conflict-of-
Interest Rules and are prohibited. The Bank also ensures the functioning of the channel for reporting violations, therefore
employees, customers, and service providers have the opportunity to anonymously report violations and criminal acts
committed by employees and members of its bodies (including bribery of officials when concluding business transactions).
5. References and additional explanatory notes to the financial statements
All key financial data are presented in the Bank’s financial statements.

8. Significant events after the end of the financial year under review
There were no significant events after the end of the reporting year that would require adjustments to these financial
statements or disclosure.
9. Business plans and forecasts
The Bank plans to continue to consistently grow its SME, mortgage and consumer lending, as well as to increase the
volume of deposits, with a focus on attracting retail deposits.
In 2026, the Bank will further develop its existing products and services in order to deliver greater value to customers.
In view of the increased regulatory requirements, the economic environment and the strategic objective of ensuring stable
operations, the Bank will continue to focus on increasing its capital base. As part of this strategy, the Bank’s capital base
will continue to be strengthened by the profits earned and, if necessary, a bond issue.
The Bank will continue to improve its environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk management framework,
information collection and disclosure in order to adequately prepare for the submission of the Sustainability Report for
2026, which is prepared in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards.
10. Bank’s information on remuneration policies and their implementation
The objective of the Bank’s Remuneration Policy is to establish clear principles of remuneration for work, to pay fairly and
transparently for work and results, to motivate, incentivize and empower employees to increase the efficiency and quality
of their work, to achieve the Bank’s objectives, and to retain and attract competent employees.
The principles of the Remuneration Policy are designed to be consistent with the long-term business interests, business
strategy, objectives, values of the Bank and to promote sound and effective risk management, to prevent conflicts of
interest, and to ensure the principles of protection of investors and clients in the provision of services by the Bank.
The Remuneration Policy of the Bank is based on the following principles:
• equity – the remuneration and performance review system apply to all employees of the Bank. The salary scales
for posts of equal value are the same, according to the matrix of job grades.
• competitiveness – the remuneration of the Bank’s employees is determined in the light of the situation on the
labour market, by comparing the remuneration of certain posts with the remuneration of similar posts or posts of
similar value on the labour market.
• clarity/transparency – the remuneration and performance review system is aligned with the Bank’s strategy. The
remuneration of the Bank’s employees depends on the Bank’s financial capacity, the results of performance
reviews, the economic situation in the country and the Bank’s budget as approved by the Board. It is possible to
set the remuneration of individual employees according to the Bank’s reasonable need at a given time for the

8
particular expertise of the employee. Every Bank employee knows where his/her post is in the matrix of job grades,
what career paths are available to him/her, and how his/her performance relates to his/her remuneration.
• flexibility – whenever it is necessary to recruit or retain an employee who is important to the Bank, or to manage
the risks arising from employee rotation, turnover, decisions may derogate from the Policy, without prejudice to
the fundamental principles of a fixed or variable remuneration component.
• neutrality in relation to gender, age, origin, nationality, religion, political opinion, social status, sexual orientation
– employees are paid equally for equal work or work of equal value, irrespective of their gender, age, origin,
nationality, religion, political opinion, social status or sexual orientation.
The Remuneration Policy applies to the Bank’s employees, as well as to members of the Bank’s Supervisory Board,
Management Board, Audit Committee who are not employees of the Bank, and to members of the Loan Committee and
the Risk Management Committee. In accordance with the Remuneration Policy, members of the Bank’s supervisory body
are paid a fixed remuneration and members of the management bodies are paid fixed and/or variable remuneration.
The Bank has no subsidiary or parent companies; therefore, employees do not receive any remuneration from companies
belonging to a group. No shares have been granted to the Bank’s employees.
Components of the Bank’s remuneration system:
• fixed remuneration, consisting of:
• a monthly salary set out in each employee’s employment contract (or a fixed component of their
remuneration);
• fringe benefits (long-term benefits, allowances, etc. not related to performance).
• variable remuneration, consisting of:
• annual variable component of remuneration;
• quarterly variable component of remuneration;
• cash bonuses to reward employees for individual and group work, performance, etc.
The fixed remuneration system is based on a matrix of job grades, grouping jobs into levels according to their importance
to the Bank’s activities. The job grade is determined by an assessment of the required competence, level of responsibility,
autonomy, creativity, complexity and conditions of the work.
Variable remuneration is awarded to employees for the achievement of set performance targets. The variable component
and the amount to be allocated are determined based on the results of the performance review and the timeframe over
which performance can be evaluated, whether quarterly or annually. The annual variable remuneration is granted only to
employees whose professional activities and/or decisions are likely to have a significant impact on the nature and
magnitude of the risks borne by the Bank. In any case, the variable remuneration awarded to an employee during a
reference period of one year may not exceed 100% of the amount of the fixed remuneration received by the employee
during the reference period of one year.
The Bank's remuneration policy stipulates that the variable part of the remuneration is either not allocated or must be
reduced or withheld based on the following criteria:
• The employee / committee member / Bank's board member has violated the Bank's internal regulations or external
legal requirements, and as a result of this violation, the Bank has incurred losses;
• The Bank's financial position has become unsustainable, its performance does not meet the targets set in the
business plan, or its operations are unprofitable;
• The employee's duration of employment with the Bank, or in the case of a committee / Bank board member, the
period during which they performed their committee / Bank board duties;
• The employee's individual performance results, the committee member's personal contribution to the committee's
activities, or in the case of a Bank board member – the performance results of the Bank's board.
The Annual Variable Remuneration Fund is formed after assessing the Bank’s performance, taking into account current
and future risks, the cost of capital employed and the cost of maintaining liquidity. The principles for calculating variable
remuneration a re developed in such a way as to be consistent with the Bank’s strategy, objectives, values, long-term
interests of continuing operations, and to promote sound and effective risk management, to prevent conflicts of interest, to
ensure adherence to the Code of Ethics, and to ensure that the recipients are not incentivized to take excessive risks.
Employees may be paid other allowances/supplements to reward individual or group performance, significant project work,
or the performance of additional job functions (in addition to their job role). The provisions of the Remuneration Policy and
their implementation are detailed in the rules of the remuneration system, which set out the process of meeting the
objectives, the documents to be prepared and/or submitted, the provisions and criteria for granting the relevant type of
remuneration, and in other internal regulations of the Bank. The Bank does not have any internal processes or rules in
place allowing for the clawback of variable remuneration; therefore, such a possibility is not applied.
Individual components of the remuneration system may also be regulated by other internal regulations of the Bank.

ORGANISING INTERNAL CONTROL
Internal control is a comprehensive and continuous process implemented by the Bank’s bodies, committees and employees
to identify risk drivers and to provide reasonable assurance that:
• the Bank’s operations are efficient, using the Bank’s assets and other tangible and intangible resources, and are
protected from potential losses (operational objective);
• financial and other information used both within the Bank and for supervisory purposes or by other third parties is
reliable, relevant and timely (information objective);
• the Bank’s operations are consistent with the applicable European Union and Republic of Lithuania legislation,
the requirements of the supervisory authorities, the Bank’s strategy and the provisions of the Bank’s internal
regulations (compliance objective).
The internal control components are the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, communication and
monitoring.
Key principles for organising internal control: (1) comprehensiveness, (2) multidimensionality, (3) accountability, (4)
autonomy and responsibility, (5) separation of functions and avoidance of conflicts of interest, and (6) transparency and
traceability. The internal control and risk management system is organised on the basis of the three lines model, which
helps to achieve the Bank’s objectives and to strengthen risk management. The bodies with oversight functions (the Bank’s
Supervisory Board and its committees, the Bank’s Board), the management (Head of Administration, his/her deputies and
directors of divisions), the first and second lines of defence and the third line of defence (internal audit) have separate
responsibilities, but their activities are all aligned with the Bank’s objectives. The three lines model is based on regular and
effective coordination, cooperation and communication.

31
An effective system of internal control ensures that risks affecting operations are identified and assessed on an ongoing
basis in accordance with the principles set out in the Bank’s Risk Management Policy. The internal control system is
periodically reviewed to properly assess new risks.
The effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control system is assessed both on an ongoing and periodic basis. The Bank’s
internal control procedures are carried out at all levels of management, involving every employee who, in addition to being
involved in the internal control process in the performance of his/her duties, continuously assesses the effectiveness of the
internal control system within the scope of his/her competences, and communicates any deficiencies identified in the
internal control system and/or risk management. The employees of the risk management and compliance function and
other units performing control functions analyze the effectiveness of the internal control system, initiate improvements to
rules and procedures, address identified weaknesses, assess risks and report on them at regular intervals, but at least
once a year. Assessing the Bank’s most risky areas is an integral part of the day-to-day running of the business, and
periodic assessments are carried out by internal and external audit.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
(All amounts are in TEUR, unless specified otherwise)
40
Note 2 Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements (hereinafter, the “financial statements”) are prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU).
Basis for assessment
These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial assets carried at fair value
through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets and investment assets, which are carried at fair value, and
buildings, which are carried at revalued amounts.
Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in euro, which is the functional currency of the Bank, unless otherwise stated.
Business continuity
Management is confident that the Bank have sufficient resources to ensure the future continuity of operations. In making
this assessment, management considered a large amount of information, including profitability projections, capital
requirements and funding needs. The deliberations also included reasonably possible economic downturn scenarios and
their potential impact on the Bank’s profitability, capital adequacy and liquidity.
Impact of new and revised standards and interpretations on the financial statements
Current standards, their application and interpretations
The following revised standards, amendments to existing standards, and interpretations issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the EU, which the Bank applied during the current year, are currently
in effect:
• Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (effective
for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025).
The application of these standards, amendments and interpretations did not have a material impact on the Bank’s financial
statements.
Standards issued but not yet effective
The Bank has not applied the following IFRS that were already endorsed as of the date these financial statements were
authorised for issue but are not yet effective:
• Annual Improvements Volume 11 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026);
• Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026);
• Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS
7 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026).
• IFRS 18 „Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements“ (applicable to annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2027).
The Bank believes that the application of these standards, amendments to existing standards, and interpretations will not
have a significant impact on the Bank’s financial statements in the period of their initial application.
Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the EU
IFRSs currently endorsed by EU are not significantly different from the standards, endorsed by IASB, except the standards,
amendments and interpretations that were not endorsed by EU (the effective dates are applicable to IFRS to full extent).
These standards, amendments and interpretations are listed below:
• IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (effective for annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2027);
• Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Translation to a Hyperinflationary
Presentation Currency (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027);
• Amendments to IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2027).

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
(All amounts are in TEUR, unless specified otherwise)
41
The Bank believes that the application of these standards, amendments to existing standards, and interpretations will not
have a significant impact on the Bank’s financial statements in the period of their initial application.
Segment information
The Bank’s activities can be broadly divided into the following three segments:
• daily banking services and lending – covers the Bank’s traditional services to its customers – small and medium-
sized enterprises, households, including the provision of loans, leasing and banking services to customers;
• treasury – covers treasury banking activities, including securities and liquidity portfolio management, foreign
exchange, etc.;
• other activities – includes banking activities outside the above business segments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities
The Bank recognises a financial asset in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Bank becomes a
party to the transaction, based on the terms of the financial instrument contract.
In accordance with IFRS 9, financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, contractual rights to receive cash or other
financial assets, contractual rights to exchange financial instruments with another party on terms that may be favourable
to the othe r party, equity instruments of other entities and contracts that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity
instruments.
Financial assets are classified as:
• financial assets measured at amortised cost in subsequent periods;
• financial assets measured at fair value in subsequent periods, with the change in fair value recognised in
comprehensive income;
• financial assets measured at fair value in subsequent periods, with the change in fair value recognised in profit or
loss.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows;
• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:
• the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash
flows and selling financial assets;
• the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include those financial assets that are not classified as
financial assets measured at amortised cost and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income. At initial recognition, a financial asset may be irrevocably designated as a financial asset measured at fair value
through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (accounting
mismatch). This financial asset cannot be subsequently reclassified.
The class of a financial asset is determined at the time of acquisition.
Time of recognition of financial assets
All regular-way purchases and sales of financial assets for which there is a period of time specified by a regulatory authority
or market convention within which the securities must be delivered to the buyer are accounted for at settlement, i.e., when
the asset is delivered to the Bank or the Bank delivers it to the buyer. An off-balance-sheet commitment to buy or sell
financial assets is recognised at the trade date and is written off when the securities are settled.
Loans are carried at amortised cost: the cost of the loan at initial recognition (which includes direct transaction costs) le ss
principal repayments, amortisation of the cumulative difference between the cost and the redemption amount, and
impairment losses.
Business model assessment. The Bank’s business model is to collect contractual cash flows (held-to-collect), where cash
flows are solely payments of principal and interest on principal. The Bank does not have any financial instruments whose
purpose is to generate cash flows from the sale of instruments. The use of other business models is not envisaged.
Solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). All loans and receivables are valued using the SPPI test. It is assessed
whether the principal amount is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and meets the SPPI criteria. Whether
the interest received is consideration for the time value of money for the credit risk associated with the principal outstanding.
The credit risk element is assessed. Whether the time value of money element for fixed rate transactions meets the criteria.
For variable interest rates, the change in the time value of money element is assessed and it is determined whether the

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
(All amounts are in TEUR, unless specified otherwise)
42
change results in a material difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that would have arisen if the
time value of money element had not changed. In the case of insignificant deviations, the loans and receivables are
deemed to be in line with the SPPI requirements.
The following financial assets are measured at amortised cost in the Bank:
• cash, cash balances with the central bank;
• cash balances with banks and other credit institutions;
• debt securities;
• loans and receivables;
• other assets and other advance payments.
Cash and cash balances with the central bank consist of balances of cash and other means of payment, balances in
correspondent accounts of the Bank of Lithuania and minimum reserves.
Cash is cash on hand with a carrying amount equal to its fair value.
The fair value of cash balances with the central bank is equal to the carrying amount.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed and determinable payments and are not quoted
on a market. This class of financial assets also includes (discounted) promissory notes purchased by the Bank and the
purchase of debt obligations (factoring).
Other assets and other advance payments represent cash paid for goods or services not yet provided.
Impairment of financial assets
The impairment model (expected credit loss model) is applied to financial assets measured at amortised cost or fair value,
except for investments in equity instruments. The Bank uses a customer rating system to assess the level of a customer’s
credit risk. Borrowers’ internal credit risk ratings are established at the time of credit extension and are reviewed and
updated periodically and as new relevant information becomes available. Financial instruments are classified into 3 risk
levels based on the change in credit risk since initial recognition. For off-balance sheet exposures, expected credit losses
are calculated in the same way as for the corresponding on-balance sheet exposures, according to the risk level of the
corresponding on-balance sheet exposure.
Lending exposures, whether the specific provisions are set for a homogeneous group or on an individual basis, are
reclassified in order to react uniformly to credit risk factors as macroeconomic conditions change. The reclassification of
lending exposures results in a corresponding recalculation of the amounts of the specific provisions.
Lending exposures are assigned to one of three risk levels based on their credit risk assessment from initial recognition:
• risk level 1 which includes performing exposures with no significant increase in credit risk, i.e., no credit risk
indicator or loss event has been recorded since the initial recognition of the loan;
• risk level 2 which includes exposures with a credit risk indicator or significant increase in credit risk. The main
criteria indicating a significant increase in credit risk would include a decrease in the client’s annual credit rating
compared to the initial credit risk rating assigned at the time of recognition, the exposure becoming more than 30
days past due, a significant decrease in the value of collateral, material breaches of investment project
implementation conditions, the restructuring or refinancing of financial obligations due to the deterioration of the
client’s financial condition, and other qualitative factors indicating an increased credit risk.
• risk level 3 which includes non-performing loans and other exposures with a probable default. The main criteria
for assigning risk level 3 include: payment delays by the client exceeding 90 calendar days, the borrower’s
bankruptcy or restructuring, the classification of the exposure as non-performing when it is considered that the
client will be unable to repay the exposure without the realization of collateral, the borrower’s death, and other
objective criteria.
For lending exposures, specific provisions are calculated collectively or individually in accordance with the following
provisions:
• lending exposures classified as risk level 1 (low credit risk) are assessed collectively and specific provisions are
measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit loss (ECL);
• lending exposures classified as risk level 2 (significantly increased credit risk) are assessed collectively. For
collectively assessed lending exposures, the amount of the specific provisions is calculated based on the ECL
with an unlimited duration;
• lending exposures classified as risk level 3 (credit defaults) are assessed individually.
Exposures may revert to a lower risk level after a certain period (between 180 and 730 calendar days), subject to objective
criteria.
Lending exposures that do not meet the criteria set for other homogeneous groups are classified in the other assets group
and are not assessed by the Central Bank because they are assumed to have very low credit risk that does not significantly
increase since initial recognition.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
(All amounts are in TEUR, unless specified otherwise)
43
For collectively measured lending exposures, ECL is estimated using a model developed by the Bank, which calculates
the internal risk parameters for each homogeneous group according to the scenario used.
For lending exposures measured using the collective approach, ECL is calculated as follows:
ECL = EAD x PD x LGD, where
EAD – Exposure at Default
PD – Probability of Default
LGD – Loss Given Default
The macroeconomic outlook is considered in the calculation of the PD and LGD parameters. The values of the PD and
LGD parameters calculated based on the Bank’s historical data are adjusted to incorporate forward-looking information.
The PD parameter is determined using two (2) economic scenarios (expected and pessimistic) based on the Bank of
Lithuania’s forecasts, and a final derivative scenario is derived depending on the probabilities assigned to these scenarios.
The LGD parameter calculated based on historical data is also adjusted with real estate price forecasts.
The assumptions on which the ECL calculations are based are reviewed periodically (at least annually), supplemented by
historical data and in the light of current economic forecasts.
The carrying amount of the loans is reduced using an impairment account and the amount of the impairment is recognised
in the profit and loss account. For all financial instruments, lending exposures are reviewed after initial recognition, and a
detailed assessment of changes in the client’s risk profile is carried out at least annually to identify increases in the
materiality of credit risk. Each month, an assessment is made of the indicators of a decrease/increase in the credit risk of
the lending exposure, which are used to reverse or increase the previously recognised impairment by adjusting the
impairment account.
Lending exposures, whether the specific provisions are set for a homogeneous group or on an individual basis, are
reclassified to react uniformly to credit risk factors as macroeconomic conditions change. The reclassification of lending
exposures results in a corresponding recalculation of the amounts of the specific provisions.
Factoring accounting
A factoring transaction is a financing transaction where the Bank finances its customers by purchasing their claims.
Companies transfer to the Bank rights to future accounts receivable. Factoring transactions consist of factoring transactions
with recourse, where the Bank has the right to sell back to the customer the overdue claim, and factoring transactions
without recourse, where the Bank does not have the right to sell back to the customer the overdue claim.
Factoring income consists of the amount of the administration fee for the main contract, which is paid at the time of
conclusion of the contract and recognised as income by the Bank on a pro rata basis over the term of the contract; the fee
for the administration of invoices, which is recognised as income at the time of payment of the invoice, and interest income,
which is recognised as income over the term of the factoring contract.
The factoring balance includes the total amount of unpaid factoring invoices and any accruals for unpaid invoices at the
end of the reporting period.
Loan write-offs
When loans and prepayments are not likely to be recovered and the collateral has been sold, they are written off against
the impairment of the loans. The decision to write off loans is made by the management of the Bank. When loans previously
written off are recovered, the income is recognised in the profit and loss account.
Partial write-off of loans may be applied to customers with default status if there is no likelihood that all or part of the Bank’s
claims (principal, accrued interest and other charges) will be settled by the customer (e.g., the customer is subject to
bankruptcy proceedings or the Bank has commenced legal proceedings, and existing collateral is insufficient and cash
flow or other assets are not expected to be available to cover part of the claims).
Derivatives
The Bank uses derivatives such as foreign exchange forwards and foreign exchange swaps. Derivatives are carried at fair
value as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when it is negative. Derivatives are initially recorded in the
statement of financial position at fair value at the date of realisation. Changes in the fair value of derivatives held for tradi ng

The fair values of derivatives are disclosed in Note 12.
In 2025 and 2024, the Bank issued floating rate loans to customers, but the agreements contained interest rate floors. This
floor is embedded in the agreements. IFRS 9 requires that if, at the time the loan is originated, the interest rate floor is

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

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

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

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash, balances in current accounts with the Bank of Lithuania and correspondent accounts with other banks, due to their
high liquidity and maturity up to 3 months from the date of acquisition, are treated as cash and cash equivalents in the cash
flow statement. Cash and cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into
cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
Investment assets
Investment assets are carried at cost, with an estimate of acquisition costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment
assets are carried at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the statement of financial position date. Gains or losses
arising from changes in the fair value of investment assets are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
An investment asset is derecognised on sale when it is disposed of or when no economic benefits are expected from its
sale. The difference between the net proceeds from the sale of an asset and its carrying amount is recognised in profit or
loss in the period in which the asset is derecognised.
Changes in investment assets are recorded when there is a change in the nature of the use of the investment asset. For
reclassifications of investment assets to tangible fixed assets, the adjusted cost is the fair value at the date of the chang e
in use. If a tangible fixed asset is reclassified as an investment asset, the Group accounts for it on the basis of the
accounting policy for tangible fixed assets that has been applied to it, as described below, until the date of change in use.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired by the Bank are initially recorded at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are carried
at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any.
The useful life of an intangible asset may be finite or indefinite. The Bank does not have any intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised over their useful lives and are assessed for impairment when there
is an indication that they may be impaired. The amortisation periods and methods used for intangible assets with finite
useful lives are reviewed at least at each financial year-end.
Costs related to software maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Subsequent costs of intangible assets are capitalised only when they increase the future economic benefits of the specific
asset to which the costs relate. All other costs are written off when incurred.
Amortisation of intangible assets is recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives from the date they are available for use. The software has an estimated useful life of 3-7 years.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes costs that
are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is necessary for the operation of the related
equipm ent is capitalised as part of that equipment. The cost of replacing an item of property or equipment is included in
the residual value when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with that item will flow to the the Bank and
the cost can be measured reliably. The cost of the continuing servicing of property, plant and equipment is charged to profit
or loss as incurred.
When the useful lives of the components of property or equipment are different, they are accounted for as separate property
or equipment (major components).
In the case of a revaluation where the estimated fair value of an asset is greater than its residual value, the residual valu e
is increased to fair value and the amount of the increase is credited to the revaluation reserve account for tangible fixed
assets within equity.
Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is calculated using the straight-line method by writing off the value of the asset over
its estimated useful life.
Estimated useful life of the asset:
Buildings 60-90 years
Computer hardware 3 years
Vehicles 6 years
Equipment and accessories 3-10 years

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the remaining lease term or useful life, whichever is shorter. The useful
lives of assets and the depreciation recognition methodology are reviewed and, if necessary, adjusted at the end of each
financial year.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount is presented, in the statement of financial position if, and only
if, the Group and the Bank have the right to offset the amounts and plan either to settle on a net basis or to sell the asset s
and settle the debt simultaneously.
Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when this is permitted by accounting standards; profits and losses
from a group of similar transactions, such as the Group’s and the Bank’s trading activities, are presented on a net basis.
Fair values of financial assets and liabilities
Fair value is the price at which an asset would be sold or a liability transferred at the measurement date in an orderly
transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if no such market exists, in the most advantageous
market that the Bank can access at the measurement date. The fair value of a liability reflects the exposure to the risk of
default on its obligations.
Where appropriate, the Bank estimates the fair value of an instrument using its quoted price in an active market. A market
is considered active if transactions in that asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide continuous
price information.
The fair value of financial instruments traded on financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market prices.
Purchase prices are used to measure financial assets and sale prices are used to measure liabilities. In the absence of an
active market, the fair value of an interest-earning asset is determined by reference to the discounted value of cash flows
using the same interest rate for instruments that are similar in terms of maturity and risk. The fair value of unquoted equit y
securities is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques are based on recent market transactions in
substantially similar instruments at market prices or on cash flow analysis.
Fair value measurement
Certain accounting principles and disclosures of the Bank require the determination of the fair value of financial and non-
financial assets and liabilities.
In determining the fair value of an asset or liability, the Bank uses observable market data to the extent possible.
Fair values are presented in the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the variables used in the valuation
techniques:
• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly (i.e., as
prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
• Level 3: asset or liability variables not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the variables used in determining the fair value of an asset or liability may be classified in different levels of the fair value
hierarchy, the level of the fair value hierarchy to which the entire fair value measurement is assigned is determined by
reference to the lowest level variable that is significant in determining the entire fair value.
The Bank recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the
change occurs.
For more information on the assumptions used to calculate the fair values, see the notes below:
Note 7 – Loans and receivables
Note 8 – Property and equipment
Note 24 – Fair values of financial instruments
Gains and losses on post-recognition measurement
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability are recognised as follows:
- gains or losses on financial instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the profit and
loss account;
- gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income (except for
impairment losses and foreign exchange gains or losses on debt financial instruments) until the assets are
derecognised. The cumulative gain or loss recorded in equity is then recognised in the profit and loss account.
Interest on available-for-sale financial assets is recognised as income in the profit and loss account using the
effective interest method.

Gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost are recognised in the profit and loss account
when the financial asset or liability is derecognised, impaired and amortised.
Lease
When a lease agreement is signed, the Group assesses whether the agreement constitutes a right to lease the asset. The
Bank recognises a lease asset and a corresponding lease liability in respect of all lease arrangements in which the Bank
is the lessee, except for short-term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets
(e.g., tablets and PCs, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Bank recognises lease
payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is
appropriate that more closely reflects the time pattern over which the economic benefits of the leased asset are consumed.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that have not yet been made, and are
subsequently discounted using the interest rate provided for in the lease agreement. If the lease agreement does not
specify interest, the Bank uses its borrowing rate.
Lease liabilities are measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect the related interest (using the effective interes t
rate method) and decreasing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
A lease asset consists of the initial measurement of the related lease liability, the lease payments made on or before the
commencement date, less any lease discounts received and any initial direct costs. It is subsequently measured at cost
less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The right to use the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the asset. If ownership of
the underlying asset is transferred after the asset is leased, or the cost of the leasehold right-of-use reflects the fact that
the Group expects to exercise its option to acquire the asset, the related right-of-use is amortised over the useful life of the
underlying asset. Depreciation starts from the date the lease commences.
Leases for which the Bank is the lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. When, under the terms of the lease,
all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the lessee, the agreement is classified as a finance lease. All
other leases are classified as operating leases.
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as a receivable based on the amount of the Bank’s net
investment in the lease. Income from finance leases is allocated to accounting periods to reflect a constant periodic rate
of return on the Bank’s net investment.
Share capital
Share capital is recorded in the statement of financial position at its subscribed value.
Corporate income tax
Corporate income tax is calculated on the profit for the year, including deferred tax. Corporate income tax is calculated in
accordance with the requirements of the tax legislation of the Republic of Lithuania.
Under the Law on Corporate Income Tax of the Republic of Lithuania, the corporate income tax rate is 16% of the taxable
income. Management calculates and accounts for tax expenses in the financial statements in accordance with the laws of
the Republic of Lithuania.
As of 2020, the portion of credit institutions’ taxable profits calculated in accordance with the Law on Corporate Income
Tax exceeding EUR 2 million is taxed at a 5% surtax rate. As of 1 January 2025, the main corporate income tax rate was
increased by 1 percentage point from 15% to 16%, and starting 2026 it will be increased to 17%.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred corporate income tax reflects temporary tax differences
between the values of assets and liabilities as reported in the financial statements and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets/liabilities are measured using the corporate income tax rate that will apply when the temporary tax
differences are realised.
A deferred tax asset is recognised in the statement of financial position when management expects to realise sufficient
estimated taxable profit in the foreseeable future to allow for the realisation of the asset. If it is probable that part of the
deferred tax asset will not be realised, that part of the deferred tax is not recognised in the financial statements.
Temporary solidarity contribution
On 9 May 2023, the Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania adopted the Law on Temporary Solidarity Contribution of the
Republic of Lithuania (No. XIV-1936), which introduced a new solidarity contribution for credit institutions operating in
Lithuania from 16 May 2023. This contribution is calculated on the excess of net interest income earned by credit institutions
in 2023 - 2025 from their activities in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania..

Other charges
The annual property tax rate is up to 3% of the taxable value of tangible fixed assets and repossessed property. The Bank
is also required to pay land tax and rent, guarantee fund contributions and social insurance contributions. These charges
are included in other expenses in the profit and loss account.
Off-balance-sheet items
All liabilities that may be recognised in the statement of financial position in the future are accounted for as off -balance-
sheet liabilities. This allows the Bank to determine the capital requirements and raise the necessary funding to meet these
obligations.
Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party is in a position to unilaterally or jointly control or exercise significant
influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions, or if the parties are under common control, and
if members of management, their close family members, and the entities controlled by them, or persons close to them are
in a position to unilaterally or jointly exercise control or exercise significant influence over the Bank. The determination of
whether parties are related is based on the substance of the relationship, not just its content.
Credit commitments
Credit commitments are approved decisions to increase a loan, guarantee or letter of credit. As regards the Bank’s credit
risk, the total amount of the unused credit commitment is exposed to potential losses. Due to certain terms of lending
applicable to customers who wish to draw on the credit commitment, the amount of potential losses is less than the total
unused credit commitment. As long-term credit commitments have a higher
credit risk than short-term commitments, the Bank controls the maturity of credit commitments. Credit commitments are
treated as risky assets for capital adequacy purposes.
In the normal course of business, the Bank issues financial guarantees in the form of letters of credit, guarantees and
acceptances. Financial guarantees are measured at fair value (the amount of the premium received) in other liabilities on
initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Bank’s liability is measured at the higher of the amortised premium
and the estimated cost that may be required to settle the financial liabilities associated with the guarantees when settlemen t
is probable.
Any increase in the liability relating to guarantees is recorded in the profit and loss account in impairment charges. The
premium received is recognised in the profit and loss account in net fee and commission income on a straight-line basis
over the life of the guarantee.
Guarantees are irrevocable assurances that the Bank will settle on behalf of the client with third parties in the event of th e
client’s inability to meet its obligations to third parties. When a guarantee is settled, it is recorded in the statement of
financial position and assessed for indications of impairment. Until the guarantee is settled, it is recognised as a risky asset
for capital adequacy purposes.
Documentary credits and business letters of credit are written agreements between the Bank and the client that provide
for a third party to receive certain amounts from the Bank, up to a specified amount, under certain conditions. They are
secured by a pledge of the delivery of the goods to which they relate. Letters of credit are recognised as risky assets for
capital adequacy purposes.
Provisions
Provisions are recorded when, as a result of a past event, the Bank has a legal obligation or an irrevocable commitment,
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the
amount of the liability can be measured reliably.
The cost of accounting for provisions is recognised in profit or loss. Where the effect of the time value of money is
significant, provisions are discounted against the tax rate that reflects the risk inherent in the liability. When discounting is
applied, the increase in the provision to reflect the passage of time is recorded as a borrowing cost.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the financial statements but are disclosed unless it is unlikely that economic
benefits will be foregone. Contingent assets are not accounted for in the financial statements but are disclosed if they are
expected to generate economic benefits.

Note 3 Use of estimates and judgements in the preparation of financial statements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosure of contingencies. Significant areas in these
financial statements that involve estimates and judgements include impairment of loans and other receivables, fair value
measurement of derivative financial instruments, realisation of deferred tax assets, leases and derecognition of financial
assets and going concern.
The following are key assumptions relating to future and other measurement uncertainties at the statement of financial
position date that have the potential to result in a significant adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in
future financial years.
Impairment losses on loans and other receivables
The calculation of impairment of loans and other receivables is described in Note 27.
The methods for calculating the amount and timing of future cash flows are kept under review to minimise the differences
between the estimated loss amounts and the actual losses incurred. For more information, see Notes 7 and 27
Impairment of debt securities
For collectively measured lending exposures, ECL is estimated using a model developed by the Bank, which calculates
the internal risk parameters for each homogeneous group according to the scenario used. The recognition of impairment
losses on financial instruments is described in the Rules for the Measurement of Expected Credit Risk Losses. Details of
debt securities are given in Note 6.

In 2024 the Bank of Lithuania (BL) conducted a targeted scheduled inspection to assess the Bank’s compliance with anti-
money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF) prevention requirements. The inspection revealed violations
and deficiencies.
The Bank acknowledged the identified violations, submitted a plan for elimination of operational deficiencies, and
committed to eliminate all violations of legal acts and operational deficiencies identified during the inspection. Also, t he
Bank has submitted to the Bank of Lithuania a proposal to conclude an administrative agreement.
In view of this, in April 2025 the BL and the Bank entered into an administrative agreement and imposed the following
measures:
• A warning was issued for deficiencies in internal control procedures related to the roles and responsibilities of
the Bank’s departments, conflict of interest management, and informing management about relevant AML/CTF
risks;
• A fine of EUR 290,000 was imposed for violations and deficiencies related to determining the purpose and
intended nature of business relationships with clients, the nature of clients’ activities, enhanced due diligence,
and procedures and measures for monitoring business relationships and transactions.
It is emphasized that the Bank of Lithuania has not identified any cases indicating that the deficiencies detected during its
inspection had an impact on the Bank’s clients or that the Bank had been used for AML/CFT purposes.

Note 24 Fair values of financial instruments
Fair value is defined as the amount for which an instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
parties under current market conditions, excluding forced sale, involuntary liquidation or speculative sale transactions. As
trading in the majority of the financial assets and liabilities held by the Bank is not well-developed, fair value measurements
require the use of assumptions based on current economic conditions and the risks inherent in the specific instrument.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities with short maturities (less than three months) are
considered to approximate their fair values. This assumption also applies to floating rate financial instruments as the Bank
hav s not identified any significant change in credit spreads.
The fair value of fixed rate assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost is estimated by comparing market interest rates
with the interest rates offered for similar financial instruments at the time of initial recognition. The estimated fair value of
fixed rate loans and deposits is based on discounted cash flows using interest rates prevailing in the market for debt with
similar credit risk and maturity.
The following methods and assumptions were used to determine the fair value of these financial instruments:
Cash. This is cash on hand and in custody, with a carrying amount equal to its fair value.
Cash balances with the central bank. The fair value of cash balances with the Bank of Lithuania is equal to the carrying
amount.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets. The carrying amount of
these investments is equal to their fair value.
Debt securities. Their fair value was estimated based on the market price.
Cash balances and debts to credit institutions. The carrying amount of an asset with a maturity of less than 3 months
approximates fair value because of the relatively short maturity of this financial instrument. For deposits with longer
maturities, the prevailing interest rates reflect market rates (due to re-fixing of interest on assets based on market interest
rates) and therefore the fair value approximates the carrying amount.
Loans to customers. The valuation was carried out by discounting the future cash flows for each loan over its life using
12-month average interest rates on the market at year-end.
Liabilities to customers. The carrying amount of balances with a maturity of less than 3 months approximates fair value
because of the relatively short maturity of this financial instrument. The fair value of deposits and other liabilities with longer-

term fixed interest rates was calculated by discounting the cash flows using interest rates applicable to new debt with
similar maturities and credit quality.
Debt securities issued and subordinated loans. Fair value is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows
using current market interest rates.
The table below shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the

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

Note 27 Risk management
Risk management structure
Risk is inherent in the activities of the Bank and is managed through continuous identification, assessment and control
processes, subject to risk limits and other controls. The risk management process is important for the continued profitabilit y
of the Bank. Every employee of the Bank participates in the risk management process to the extent that it is relevant to
his/her job functions and responsibilities. The Bank’s structural units are responsible, within the limits of their competenc e,
for developing risk assessment standards and implementing approved policies, preparing internal rules and procedures
governing their activities, developing risk management and internal control procedures, monitoring, implementing
prudential measures and requiring or implementing emergency actions. An important part of risk management is the
development of a risk culture, which encourages employees to act responsibly, to disclose information and take
responsibility, and to make decisions based on an understanding and assessment of risk.
Based on the three lines model, the Bank’s operational risk management strategy is based on the following axes: risks can
be avoided, assumed, mitigated or transferred.
Key risk management principles are embedded in internal regulations describing processes/products, through the setting
of internal limits, selecting of risk mitigation measures, monitoring, control and reporting. Risk appetite is combined with
the capacity to take and absorb risk. This capacity is driven by the operating profits generated by the Bank and by a growing
domestic capital buffer in line with business volumes.
The Bank’s organisational structure is divided into two (2) parts from a risk management perspective:
− the first, which includes the Bank’s Supervisory Board, the Bank’s Board, the Bank’s Head of Administration, the
Loan Committee, the Risk Management Committee and the Boards of the Bank’s subsidiaries, establishes the
strategy, policies and a risk management framework, and an effective system of management information;
− the second, which includes the Bank’s head office units and customer service units, implements the risk
management framework, monitors, provides expertise, support and assistance, and contributes to the creation
and maintenance of a risk culture.
Periodic risk monitoring and control is carried out based on the limits set by the Bank, reflecting the Bank’s business
strategy, the market environment and the level of risk acceptable to the Bank.
Business-wide information is periodically reviewed and processed to identify and communicate risks in advance. The
procedures of the management information system ensure that this information is effectively communicated.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the Bank will incur losses as a result of the failure by their customers or other parties to mee t
their contractual obligations. The Bank manages and controls credit risk by setting acceptable risk limits for individual
borrowers and sectors of the economy, and by monitoring the potential for breaches of these limits. The Bank has credit
quality review procedures in place to identify changes in the creditworthiness of counterparties in advance, including regula r
review of collateral. The credit quality review process allows the Bank to assess the potential losses that may occur and
take appropriate action. The Bank issues guarantees to customers that require the Bank to make payments on their behalf.
They expose the Bank to similar risks as loans and these risks are mitigated using the same control processes and policies.
The Bank has two types of credit risk management measures:
− measures to prevent the financing of unsecured risky loans, including a multi-tier decision-making system, the
allocation of risk management between structural levels – the introduction of mandates/limits, and the assessment
of the suitability of collateral. Before granting a loan, the Bank first analyses the borrower’s financial capacity and
loan repayment capacity based on the borrower’s cash flow. The purpose of loan analysis is to assess as far as
possible the status of the client and the prospects for the area in which the client operates.
− measures to ensure an effective asset quality monitoring system, including continuous monitoring of credit
transactions and contract administration, timely receipt of credit-related information and data quality assurance,
and assessment of changes in the external environment.
The Bank continuously collects and analyses information related to changes in the external environment, growth of the
loan portfolio, risk-related costs, the largest exposures of borrowers, the distribution of loans by economic activity, overdue
maturities, changes in ratings and risk levels.
Where the expected cash flow from non-performing loans is expected to come from the sale of collateral, the value of the
collateral held is an important estimate in calculating loan impairment losses and receivables.

Concentration risk
Concentration risk is the risk of a relatively large loss if the normal activities of the Bank are disrupted due to an excessive
concentration of asset or liability exposures. These risks arise from exposures to individual borrowers or depositors,
exposures to interconnected borrowers or depositors, concentrations of exposures in a single economic sector or
geographic region, exposures to borrowers engaged in similar activities, concentrations of investment exposures, or other
exposures that the Bank deems material. Concentration risk is managed on a proportionate basis, taking into account the
scale and nature of the business, the risks involved and the operations carried out.
As at 31 December 2025, the concentration of the Bank’s loan portfolio is reflected in the loans granted to the 10 largest
customers, the amounts of which amounted to EUR 85.822 thousand in the Bank, or 15.74%, of the total loan portfolio of
the Bank at net amount. (31 December 2024: EUR 68.226 thousand in the Bank, or 16.46%).
The Bank manages, limits and controls concentrations of credit risk – specifically, the risk of individual counterparties,
groups of related counterparties and economic sectors. The Bank of Lithuania’s maximum risk requirement per borrower
is 25%. The Bank’s maximum credit risk per customer or transaction at 31 December 2025 was EUR 13,238 thousand
(31 December 2024: EUR 10,676 thousand). Ratio to the Bank’s Tier 1 capital is 20.41% (17.98% at 31 December 2024).
Risk by geographical region
The risk of geographical concentration is not recognized in the Bank’s activities, as the principle of focusing on local
customers is applied.

Risk by economic sector
The Bank also impose sectoral limits, i.e., the potential concentration of certain sectors of the economy at Bank level is
limited by internal lending limits. Percentage and volume of the threshold limit lending to different sectors of the economy

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

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

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
(All amounts are in TEUR, unless specified otherwise)
82
A credit risk assessment of individual customers to determine their dependence on war-affected countries and the impact
on credit risk did not show any increase in credit risk. Enhanced monitoring is applied in 2025 in respect of customers on
the watch list.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that sufficient funds will not be available to meet maturing obligations on deposits and other fin ancial
instruments. To manage liquidity risk, the Group and the Bank monitor future expected cash flows from customers and
banking activities on a daily basis as part of the asset/liability management process. The Board sets limits on the minimum
amount of maturing funds to ensure that sufficient funds are available to pay out deposits, and sets a minimum level of
inter-bank and other debt obligations to be drawn upon in the event of an unexpected increase in repayment demands.
The majority of term deposits in the Bank’s and the Group’s deposit portfolios have a maturity of 6-12 months and, based
on historical data, the average monthly volatility of this portfolio is below 4 %. The Group’s and the Bank’s statistics over
several years show that the Group’s and the Bank’s activities have ensured a stable level of these funds, most of which
are renewable. This allows them to be invested in longer-term financial assets.
The Bank is also required to comply with the liquidity coverage ratio requirement under Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 of
the European Parliament and of the Council. Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) refers to the Bank’s highly liquid assets that
are held to meet short-term liabilities. The Bank must hold highly liquid assets such as treasury bonds or other liquid
financial instruments in an amount at least equal to the net cash outflows over a 30-day period, i.e., the liquidity coverage
ratio must not be less than 100%.
The liquidity coverage ratios of the Bank and the Group are as follows:
31 December 2025
31 December 2024
Liquid assets

186,861
Short-term (up to 30 days) obligations
75,504
58,024
LCR, %

322
The liquid assets of the Bank consist of cash, balances with the central bank (net of reserve requirements) and highly liquid
debt securities (at current market value).
As of 28 June 2021, the Bank and the Group are also required by Regulation (EU) No. 2019/876 of the European
Parliament and of the Council to maintain a net stable funding ratio (NSFR) of at least 100%. The net stable funding ratios
of the Bank are as follows:

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

Currency risk
Currency risk is managed by controlling the risk limits set for individual currency positions. The positions are monitored
daily. The Bank’s policy is to keep the open currency exposure as low as possible.
The Bank is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in prevailing foreign exchange rates affecting their financial position and
cash flows. The Board sets limits on currency position exposures, both for divisions, subsidiaries and overall. These limits
are also in line w ith the Bank of Lithuania’s minimum requirements. The Bank’s foreign exchange exposure is:

Operational risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss due to inadequate or unimplemented internal control processes, staff errors and/or illeg al
actions, failures in information systems, or the influence of external factors. Operational risk is managed by granting rights
and setting limits to staff, controlling transactions at all stages, using automated transaction controls, ensuring the security
and continuity of information systems, recording and analysing operational risk events, assessing operational risk losses,
and providing training to staff.
In 2025, the Bank improved the Bank’s operational event recording system, focused on business continuity management
and strengthening the Bank’s risk culture.
Information and communication technologies and security risks
Information and communication technology and security risk is the risk of loss due to a breach of data confidentiality, a
breach of the integrity of systems and data, the inadequacy or unavailability of systems and data, or the inability to replac e
information technology in response to changes in the environment or in the needs of the business, within a reasonable
time and at a reasonable cost. Information and communication technology and security risks include security risks arising
from inadequate or failed internal processes or external events, including cyber-attacks or insufficient physical security.
In strengthening information and communication technology and security risk management in 2025, the Bank focused on
developing Information and communication technology risk management processes, technical risk management measures
and business continuity solutions. The Bank has improved tools and processes to further enhance system availability,
continuous monitoring of system operation and security status, identification of cyber security incidents and response to
security threats.

Compliance risk
Compliance risk is the risk that the Bank’s activities will not comply with the legislation of the European Union and the
Republic of Lithuania, the guidelines and positions of the European Banking Authority and/or the Bank of Lithuania
regulating its activities. The Bank manages compliance risk through continuous monitoring of changes in the legal
environment, clear policies and procedures, regular training for the Bank’s management and employees, and reporting to
management. The Bank continuously strengthens its compliance culture, promotes compliance with the Bank’s ethical and
professional standards, and ensures the functioning of the whistleblowing channel.
Money laundering, terrorist financing and fraud risks and international sanctions risks
Urbo Bankas UAB implements the policy of prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing and fraud risks and
implementation of international sanctions in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Lithuania and the European
Union.
Key measures to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing are:
• regular and enhanced customer identification;
• implementing the Know Your Customer principle;
• customer profiling based on the level of money laundering and terrorist financing risk;
• regular and enhanced monitoring of customer business relationships;
• identifying, suspending and reporting suspicious monetary transactions to law enforcement authorities;
• keeping records of customers’ monetary operations and transactions in registers;
• training for the Bank’s employees and governing bodies;
• the Bank’s business-wide assessment of money laundering and terrorist financing risks, fraud risk and risk of
violating/evading international sanctions (including an assessment of the effectiveness of the measures);
• internal control over the application of measures to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, fraud and
breach/evasion of international sanctions.
Special IT solutions are used for customer screening and business relationship monitoring.
The Bank is guided by strict ethical and moral standards and deals with customers whose identity, and that of their
beneficial owners, are properly established, the legitimacy of the source of funds and the origin of the assets raise no
doubts, and the purpose and nature of the business relationship are clear and acceptable.
Environmental, social and governance risks
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk is the risk of any adverse financial impact on the Bank arising from the
current or future impact of environmental, social or governance factors on the Bank, on customers or on invested assets.
The objective of ESG risk management is to integrate environmental, social and governance considerations into the Bank’s
business model processes, to comply with applicable laws and requirements in this area, to identify, monitor and control
the drivers of these risks and to assess the potential negative impact of the level of ESG risk assumed.
The Bank recognises that ESG risks may directly and/or indirectly affect other risks and incorporates them into an overall
risk management framework that covers all business lines and business units. ESG risks are incorporated into the Bank’s
risk management process; however, they do not constitute a separate category of risk but rather extend existing risk
categories (for example, credit risk and market risk).
In developing its risk management framework, the Bank places primary emphasis on environmental risk, which is assessed
with reference to environmental risk factors, namely physical risk factors and transition risk factors. Having regard to the
scale of its operations, the Bank also consistently addresses social and governance risks. The management of ESG risks
comprises the following stages:
• identification of ESG factors, taking into account the nature and scale of the Bank’s activities,
portfolios, services and products, and allocation of such factors to the relevant risk categories;
• classification of identified ESG factors within risk categories and their assessment, including the
collection (from customers and/or third parties), systematisation and analysis of quantitative and
qualitative information;
• assessment of the materiality of ESG risks. At this stage, the financial materiality of ESG risks to
the Bank’s business model is evaluated by assessing the potential adverse financial impact on
individual risk categories;
• establishment of key performance indicators (KPIs) related to ESG risk management;
• periodic analysis and monitoring of the identified indicators;
• periodic review of ESG factors and reassessment of the materiality of ESG risks.
The impact of ESG risks on the Bank’s operations is assessed through their adverse financial effect (amount of losses,
reduction in profit) on credit, market, liquidity and operational risks. When assessing the impact of ESG risks on its
operations, the Bank considers their potential effect over the short term (up to one year), the medium term (from one year
to ten years) and the long term (more than ten years). In implementing its planned actions, the Bank prioritises the short-
term and medium-term horizons.

The following procedures are being put in place to integrate ESG risk management with other risks, to identify how these
risks, once they become a reality, could affect the reputation and profitability of the Bank:
• identifying borrowers who may be directly or indirectly exposed to higher climate and environmental risks;
• determining the value of residential and commercial real estate collateral, taking into account its location and
energy efficiency;
• monitoring concentration by industry/borrower;
• assessing the impact of climate change and environmental factors on existing market risk exposures;
• assessing the impact of environmental risk factors on net cash flows or the reduction of the liquidity buffer;
• assessment of the impact of ESG risk factors on the Bank’s business continuity.
The Bank has established criteria for ESG risk-neutral credit transactions that relate to the direct financing of climate
change/GHG emission reduction measures. These include buying or building more energy-efficient buildings, using
renewable energy sources, and buying electric or hybrid cars.
As at 31 December 2025, the Bank’s portfolio of ESG risk-neutral loans amounted to EUR 81,155 thousand. During the
reporting period, the portfolio of ESG risk-neutral loans increased by more than 52%, compared with EUR 53,060 thousand
as at 31 December 2024.
As at 31 December 2025, ESG risk-neutral transactions accounted for 15% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. As at 31 December
2024, ESG risk-neutral transactions accounted for 13% of the Bank’s loan portfolio.
The Bank has voluntarily prepared a Sustainability Report for the financial year 2023 and 2024 (hereinafter, the “Report”)
in order to clarify its sustainability priorities and share sustainability information with its stakeholders. This Report has been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) 2022/2464 and
the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and published on the Bank’s website.

Note 28 Capital
The capital adequacy assessment process of the Bank is based on the capital adequacy requirements defined by the
Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) and the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), which came into force on 1
January 2015. The CRD consists of three pillars, two of which are disclosed in these financial statements.
The first pillar covers the mathematical calculation procedures for determining capital requirements for credit, market and
operational risks. These rules are set out in Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council,
which requires banks to have a Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% and a total capital adequacy ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted
assets. On 30 June 2015, a new Tier 1 capital requirement entered into force. According to these requirements, an
additional capital conservation buffer equal to 2.5% of the total amount of assessed risk must be accumulated. Risk-
weighted assets are calculated using a standardised approach with risk weights assigned to different groups according to
the nature of the assets and the risks involved, taking into account the collateral and guarantees used to mitigate the risks.
Off-balance sheet items are treated similarly. The operational risk capital requirement is calculated using the Basic Indicator
Approach. The additional minimum own funds requirement (Pillar 2) applicable to the Bank as of 31 October 2024 is 2.42%.

The second pillar sets out the supervisory processes and requires banks to conduct an internal capital adequacy
assessment process (ICAAP).
The Bank’s internal capital adequacy assessment process is reviewed at least once a year. It identifies risks that are
material to the Bank. Subtypes of risks are distinguished to detail the types of risk. All the Bank’s business units particip ate
in the self-assessment process. Based on the material risks identified, an additional capital adequacy requirement is set.
The additional capital requirement is determined through periodic stress tests and internal capital adequacy assessments.
The Bank’s self-assessment identified credit risk as the most material. Concentration risk is considered part of credit risk.
The Bank has a medium level of operational risk. In addition, the following risks that are material to the Bank have been
identified: information and communication technology and security risks, compliance risk, money laundering, terrorist
financing risks, fraud risk and international sanctions risk. Liquidity risk is managed centrally, but as the Bank does not

have a financial institution as a shareholder partner, the Bank’s exposure to liquidity risk is medium. Market risk includes
foreign exchange and interest rate risks. Other subtypes of risk are considered to be of low materiality. Internal regulation s
are in place to manage the different risks and their sub-risks and help ensure the integrity of the risk management process.
The Bank’s exposure to risk is limited by a system of internal limits. In addition to setting limits, other risk management
tools include internal control mechanisms, monitoring of sources of risk and communication to the Bank’s management.
In addition to the assessment of various risks and the calculation of capital requirements, stress tests are carried out for
credit, liquidity, market (interest rate, exchange rate) and operational risks. This test assesses whether the Bank’s capital
would be sufficient to cover potential losses resulting from a deterioration in the Bank’s financial position. Stress tests are
carried out once a year.
The primary objective of the Bank’s capital management is to ensure that the Bank meet the capital requirements set by
external authorities and maintain a sufficient capital ratio to develop the business and enhance shareholder value.
On 30 June 2023, requirement for sectoral systemic risk buffer was introduced. The sectoral systemic risk buffer is set at
2% of the sum of risk-weighted retail exposures secured by residential real estate to natural persons resident in the
Republic of Lithuania. The 1% countercyclical capital buffer requirement for exposures in Lithuania came into force on 1
October 2023.
A leverage ratio requirement of 3.0% applies as of 28 June 2021. As at 31 December 2025, the Bank’s leverage ratio was
8.28%, exceeding the minimum requirement. As at 31 December 2024, the Bank’s leverage ratio was 8.80%.
With the permission of the Bank of Lithuania, part of the Bank’s audited financial profit for nine (9) months (EUR 3.359
million) was included in the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital as at 31 December 202 5.
The capital adequacy ratio, in accordance with the requirements of the Bank of Lithuania, has been calculated as shown

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR‘S REPORT
To the shareholders of Urbo bankas UAB:
Report on the Audit of Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Urbo Bankas UAB (hereinafter – the Bank) which comprise the statement
of financial position at 31 December 2025, the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, statement
of changes in equity, the statement for the year then ended, and the notes financial statements, including a summary
of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Bank as at 31 December 2025, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our
report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the ethical requirements set out in Regulation (EU) No
537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (hereinafter – Regulation) on specific requirements regarding
statutory audit of public-interest entities applicable to the statutory audit of public-interest entities, the Law on Audit
of the Financial Statements and Other Assurance Services of the Republic of Lithuania applicable to the audit of financial
statements in the Republic of Lithuania, and International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants International Code
of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), which is
applicable to the audit of public-interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 and the Law on Audit of the Financial Statements and Other Assurance Services of
the Republic of Lithuania and the IESBA Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
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, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Each audit
matter and our respective response are described below.
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Impairment of loans and receivables (see notes 7, 27 and accounting policy Impairment of financial assets in
financial statements)
The impairment allowance for the Bank’s loans and
receivables (hereinafter – the loans), which as at 31
December 2025, after impairment loss, amounted to
EUR 545,159 thousand, is calculated by dividing the
Bank’s loans into homogeneous groups and risk levels.
The Bank loans are divided into 3 risk levels, where the
1
st
risk level is the lowest and the 3
rd
risk level is the
highest.
The impairment allowance for loans is calculated:
collectively – by assessing expected credit losses guided
by historical loss information and forecasted economic
indicators; or individually – using individual assessment.
Loans, which are assessed individually, typically involve
higher credit risk.
Among others, we conducted the following audit
procedures:
We gained an understanding of the loan’s impairment
calculation methodology of the Bank and performed the
assessment whether it meets the requirements of the
International Financial Reporting Standard 9 Financial
Instruments.
We have identified loan approval processes and tested
controls and their effectiveness: on loan risk monitoring,
including client risk level allocation, on identification of
loss events, on timely collateral revaluation.
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
(continued)
Both collectively and individually assessed impairment
losses significantly depend on assessments and
assumption applied by the Bank.
In our opinion, the valuation method selected by the
Bank as well as the assumptions used, such as
assessment of the client's condition, assigned risk group
and credit ratings, value of the collateral and its
realization period has a significant effect on the
collectively and individually assessed impairment losses,
as well as loans net value at the end of the reporting
period.
Based on this we consider loans valuation to be a key
audit matter.
We have selected higher risk loans (including
individually significant loans; loans from higher risk
sectors of activity; loss-bearing loans, or loans that
were assigned risk level 3 for other reasons) for testing
risk assessment and impairment allowance calculation.
We have tested the selected loans sample, had
discussions with the responsible Bank officers and
identified whether the future cash flows of the loans are
calculated appropriately and whether the loans are
assigned to the appropriate risk level (i.e. whether the
assumptions made while calculating the cash flows for
loans repayment, discount rates and the value of
collateral are reasonable).
We have tested valuations of the collateralized assets
which usually comprise significant part of the future
cash flows for the loans having indication of impairment
and identified whether the methods and assumptions
used in valuations were appropriate, whether the
market conditions since the date of valuation till 31
December 2025 have not changed significantly and
whether there is no need for renewal of valuation.
We have verified whether calculation of collective
impairment allowance complies with the Bank’s
methodology. We checked whether the historical and
prospective information used in the expected credit loss
calculation model is reasonable.
We have evaluated the sufficiency and appropriateness
of disclosures related to loans in the financial
statements of the Bank.
Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the Bank’s Annual Management Report, including the
requirements for the information on corporate governance matters and remuneration, but does not include the
financial statements and our auditor’s report on them. Management is responsible for the other information.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon, except as specified below.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 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. If, based on the work we have
performed, 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.
In addition, our responsibility is to consider whether information included in the Bank’s Annual Management Report
for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements and
whether Bank’s Annual Management Report, including the requirements for the information on corporate governance
matters and remuneration, has been prepared in compliance with applicable legal requirements. Based on the work
carried out in the course of audit of financial statements, in our opinion, in all material respects:
• The information given in the Bank’s Annual Management Report, for the financial year for which the financial
statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
• The Bank’s Annual Management Report, including the requirements for the information on corporate governance
matters and remuneration, has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Law on Reporting by
Undertakings and Groups of Undertakings of the Republic of Lithuania.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as
management determines 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, management is responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process.
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
ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
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 Bank’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 management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Bank’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 Bank 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 in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Following the decision of the general shareholder’s meeting dated 20 March 2024 we were re-elected to perform an
audit of the financial statements of the Bank for two years (2024 and 2025). The total uninterrupted term of
appointment is 8 years.
We confirm that our opinion in the section ‘Opinion’ is consistent with the additional report which we have submitted
to the Bank and its Audit Committee.
We confirm that in light of our knowledge and belief, services provided to the Bank are consistent with the
requirements of the law and regulations and do not comprise non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of the
Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.
During the audit period, in addition to the audit services of the Bank’s annual financial statements we also provided
the following services: the audit of the Bank’s condensed interim financial statements for the period ended 30
September 2025.
Report on the compliance of format of the financial statements with the requirements for European Single
Electronic Reporting Format
The Bank's management has applied European Single Electronic Format for the Bank's financial statements in order
to implement the requirement of Article No. 3 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 that amends
European Parliament and Commission Directive 2004/109 / EC with regulatory technical standards establishing a
single format for electronic reporting (hereinafter "the ESEF Regulation"). These requirements specify the Bank’s
obligation to prepare its financial statements in a XHTML format. We confirm that the European single electronic
reporting format of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 20 25 complies with the ESEF Regulation
in this respect.
